Abstract
A plated copper on ceramic interconnect technology named Z-Strate TM is being applied to high-power structures like compact power supplies with dissipation in the kW range. Improvements in size, thermal management, manufacturability and cost are being achieved. Methods used, results achieved and techniques for exploiting Z-Strate´s unique features are presented
