A method for fabricating thick film alumina structures used in high
frequency, low loss applications is provided. More particularly, the
invention is directed to a co-fire process for fabricating, or
laminating, thick film structures to one another by printing a conductor
layer between two thick film circuits, drying the layer, and co-firing
the combined structure. This process is particularly useful in
fabricating high frequency (e.g. 10 gigabit) fiber optic transmitters.
