The difficulties of obtaining high-temperature (HTCC) and low-temperature (LTCC) ceramics and the transition from the high-temperature process of obtaining ceramic materials to the low-temperature process are discussed. Atypical process for obtaining LTCC as well as the characteristics and properties of a classic glass-ceramic composite are described. The basic applications of glass-ceramic obtained by LTCC technology are shown.
