Active Metal Brazing (AMB) Technology

The AMB (Active Metal Brazing) process is a method that utilizes a small amount of active elements contained in the brazing filler metal (for example, titanium Ti) to react with the ceramic, generating a reaction layer that can be soldered by the liquid brazing filler metal, thus achieving the bonding between the ceramic and the metal.

Si₃N₄ (silicon nitride) ceramic substrates

Si3N4 ceramic substrates are advanced materials renowned for their exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, making them ideal for high-performance applications.

The ceramic substrates are fully customizable to meet specific customer requirements, including tailored ceramic thickness, copper layer thickness, and surface treatment options.

Their low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) ranges from 2.5 to 3.1ppm/K (40-400°C), closely matching silicon and other semiconductor materials, thereby minimizing thermal stress in electronic devices. The thermal conductivity of 80 W/(m·K) at 25°C ensures efficient heat dissipation, making them suitable for high-power and high-temperature environments.

Si3N4 ceramics boast an impressive bending strength of ≥700 MPa, providing exceptional mechanical strength and durability for demanding applications. It supports brazing of copper layers thicker than 0.8mm, reducing thermal resistance and enabling high current loads. This substrate also features selective Ag plating and sintered Ag processes, perfectly compatible with SiC chips for optimal performance.
