◆ Wide operating temperature -55℃~850℃;  The thermal expansion coefficient is close to silicon, simplifying the production process of power module.  

 

superiority  

 

◆ The thermal expansion coefficient of ceramic substrate is close to silicon chip, which can save the transition layer Mo sheet, save labor, save material and reduce cost;  

 

Reduce welding layer, reduce thermal resistance, reduce cavity, improve the rate of finished product;  

 

◆ The line width of 0.3mm thick copper foil is only 10% of that of ordinary printed circuit board under the same current-carrying capacity;  

 

◆ Excellent thermal conductivity, so that the chip package is very compact, so that the power density is greatly improved, improve the reliability of the system and device;  

 

Ultra-thin (0.25mm) ceramic substrate can replace BeO, no environmental toxicity problem;  

 

◆ Large current, 100A current continuously through 1mm wide 0.3mm thick copper body, temperature rise of about 17℃;  100A current continuously through 2mm wide 0.3mm thick copper body, the temperature rise is only about 5℃;  

 

◆ Low thermal resistance, the thermal resistance of 0.63mm thickness of 10×10mm ceramic substrate is 0.31K/W, 0.38mm thickness of ceramic substrate is 0.19K/W, 0.25mm thickness of ceramic substrate is 0.14K/W.  

 

◆ High insulation and pressure resistance, ensure personal safety and equipment protection ability.  

 

New packaging and assembly methods can be realized to make products highly integrated and small in size.
