AlN Ceramic Substrate With Tiny Holes 0.2mm - Produced by WINTRUSTEK

Overview

Ceramic substrates are materials that are commonly used in power modules. They have special mechanical, electrical, and thermal characteristics that make them perfect for high-demand power electronics applications. These substrates provide mechanical stability and exceptional thermal performance to meet the demands of each individual design while enabling a system's electrical function.

Within the copper or metal layers of a power module, ceramic substrates are often located as components of a power electronics circuit. They support the function in a manner akin to that of a PCB, enabling it to optimally fulfill its intended role.

Advantages

Ceramic substrates have various advantages over metal or plastic substrates, such as increased thermal spreading, high heat conductivity, and prolonged heat capacity. They are appropriate for the most demanding applications because of their low coefficient of thermal expansion, which provides a number of mechanical advantages. They also offer sturdy electrical insulation that shields people from the electrical system.

Applications

Ceramic substrates are used in many of the most cutting-edge electronic systems in use today, including those in the developing renewable energy and automotive electrification fields.

Electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles and vehicle electrification

It is widely used in diesel and water pump controls, motor and engine controls, electronic power steering, electrical brake systems, integrated starter alternators, converters and inverters for HEVs and EVs, LED lights, and alternators.

Industrial

Industrial ceramic substrate uses include power supplies, Peltier coolers, traction drives, variable frequency drives, pump controls, customized motor controls, standardized semiconductor modules with chips on board, DC/DC converters, and AC/DC converters.
