Advantages of Ceramic Substrates Over Traditional PCB Boards
1. The heat dissipation and insulation performance of the ceramic substrate is better.
(1) The thermal conductivity of the ceramic substrate is between 25-230W/m·K: the most commonly used are Al2O3 substrate: 25-30W/m·K, Si3N4 substrate: 80-95W/m·K, and AIN substrate: 150-230W/m·K. The traditional PCB board is made of glass fiber material, and the thermal conductivity is lower than 1.1W/m·K, far inferior to ceramic substrates.
Material | Thermal Conductivity (W/m·K) |
FR4 | 0.8-1.1 |
Alumina (Al2O3) | 25-30 |
Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) | 80-95 |
Aluminum Nitride (AIN) | 170-230 |
(2) The volume resistivity of the ceramic substrate is more than 1014Ω·cm, and the insulation performance far exceeds that of the traditional PCB board.
2. The CTE of the ceramic substrate is matched to that of the semiconductor silicon material, which helps minimize stress that can cause components and solder joints to crack.
3. The ceramic substrate has high reliability and stable performance in extreme environments (such as high temperature, high humidity, high pressure, high corrosion, high radiation, high-frequency vibration, etc.), while the traditional PCB board cannot adapt to harsh environments, e.g. the glass transition temperature of the traditional PCB board is generally 170°C, and it will soften or deform if it exceeds this temperature.
About the Size
The size of the alumina ceramic substrate is not the bigger the better, mainly because the base material is made of ceramics, and it is easy to cause the substrate to break during the PCB proofing process, resulting in a lot of waste.
Our rectangular shapes for as-fired alumina ceramic substrates are available up to 500mm×500mm.
