Product Information

AlN active-metal-brazed copper (AMC)

AlN active-metal-brazed copper (AMC) & AlN direct bond copper (DBC®) substrates

Outline

Toshiba Materials offers two kinds of copper-plated ceramic substrates to meet diversified requirements that have arisen in power module substrates.

Active-metal-brazed copper (AMC) substrates are made by joining copper circuit plate onto ceramic substrates by brazing. They are suitable for making fine-patterned power module circuits with high heat resistance and excellent cost performance. Aluminum nitride and alumina are available as ceramic substrates.

Advantages

  • Low thermal resistance, on account of their simple structure in which copper circuit plates are joined onto ceramic substrates
  • You can mount silicon pellets directly on the substrates, because their thermal expansion coefficients are similar to that of silicon.
  • High reliability, because of the high adhesion strength of the copper circuit plates to the ceramic substrates
  • Capable of large currents
  • Miniaturized, high-density mounting
  • High thermal cycle resistance
