DBC Ceramic Substrate

Dbc Ceramic Substrate

DBC (Direct Bonded Copper) is comprised of an insulating layer of ceramic substrate such as Al2O3 (aluminum oxide) and AlN (aluminum nitride) and copper connections to ensure electrical conductivity at high temperatures. For maximum reliability and performance, modules must exhibit excellent properties in terms of heat sink dissipation, and thermal and power cycling tolerance. Ceramics have a large heat capacity and great thermal conductivity. The exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity of thick copper foil lays a good foundation for welding and wire bonding technology. UNIPRETEC ensures that the numerous materials used in assembly and packaging technology are perfectly matched to the substrate, its functional surface, and the chip attachment.

Ceramic Components

Main Characteristics Of Ceramic Components

Ceramic components are manufactured of ceramic materials, which are an extensive family of inorganic, non-metallic compounds typically consisting of metal, non-metal, and metalloid elements. The exceptional properties exhibited by ceramics, such as their high hardness, low electrical conductivity, and remarkable thermal stability, are a result of their crystalline structure and unique bonding properties. A wide variety of materials, such as oxides (alumina, zirconia), nitrides (silicon nitride), carbides (silicon carbide), and other more specialized compositions, are used to make ceramic parts.

Ceramic Setters

Ceramic Setters

Ceramic setters, also known as kiln setters, are devices used in the manufacture of powders, ceramic and metal parts within a kiln during the firing process. Typically, they are made of ceramic materials that can endure high temperatures and thermal cycles within the kiln. They are engineered to hold and arrange objects being fired in a way that they can be heated effectively and evenly while also preventing them from contacting and adhering together owing to melting or softening during firing.

Alumina Crucible

Alumina Crucible

Alumina crucibles are used in laboratories as containers for chemical compounds or metal refractories at extremely high temperatures. Their high-temperature stability, chemical inertness, and mechanical strength have made them essential vessels for use in various industries, laboratory research, and academia. Unipretec offers alumina crucibles in a large quantity of stock in various sizes and shapes.
