Flexible heaters are thin electric heaters composed of resistive foil layers and dielectrics. The dielectric layer not only provides
electrical insulation but also enables the heater to be flexible.
electrical insulation but also enables the heater to be flexible.
Kapton, polyimide and silicone resin are the most common dielectrics where flexibility is required. Mica can also be used when
higher temperatures are needed, though flexibility will be sacrificed. Despite their differences, these dielectrics can deliver uniform
and concentrated heating as required.

These heaters can be bonded directly to application surfaces to ensure optimal heat transfer to the target application. For these
reasons, flexible heaters are in great demand in the semiconductor industry. Semiconductor manufacturing is a complex process
that requires high‑performance semiconductor heating equipment.
