Active Metal Brazed (AMB) Ceramic Substrate

AMB (Active Metal Brazing) is for joining ceramics that are not wetted by 'conventional' brazes. Applying active metal like titanium is added to the braze alloy, to achieve a chemically reacts with the surface of the parent ceramic. Due to the coefficient of thermal expansion of Al2O3 (7.1 ppm/K), Si3N4 (2.6 ppm/K), and AlN (4.7 ppm/K) is close to that of silicon (4 ppm/K), Direct Bond Copper (DBC) and AMB are suitable substrates for robust packaging of bare dice since such assemblies. AMB is a promising thick film technology that can be applied to Power Electronics, Automotive Electronics, Home Appliances, Aerospace, and Others.

Process Comparison of the Ceramic Substrate

The ceramic substrate is a kind of circuit board. It has a thermal expansion coefficient close to that of semiconductors and high heat resistance. It is suitable for products with high heat generation (high-brightness LED, solar energy), and its excellent weather resistance is more suitable for harsh outdoor environments. Because it has the characteristics of lead-free, non-toxic, and good chemical stability, it will not cause harm to environmental protection, so it is more and more widely accepted by the public. Due to different processes, the ceramic substrate is mainly divided into DBC (Direct Bonded Copper), DPC (Direct Plated Copper), AMB (Active Metal Brazing), and Thick film. We will introduce each of the processes and the advantages, disadvantages of each process. DBC (Direct Bonded Copper) It is composed of the ceramic substrate, bonding layer, and conductive layer. It refers to the special process of copper foil directly bonding to alumina or aluminum nitride ceramic substrate surface at high temperature. The advantages are as below: - The copper layer is thick; - The processing is fast; - The price is cheap; - Can make multilayer; - Suitable for large area consumption; - High thermal conductivity; - High adhesion strength; - Excellent soft brazing; - Excellent electrical insulation The disadvantages are as below: - Can not pass through the hole; - Poor accuracy; - Low flatness (surface roughness); - Suitable for the device in the large distance of the product, can not be done in the precise occupation. DPC (Direct Plated Copper) Mainly by evaporation, magnetron sputtering and other surface deposition process to carry on the substrate surface metallization, first under the condition of vacuum sputtering, titanium, and then is copper particles, the plating thickness, then finish making line with ordinary PCB craft, and then to plating/electroless deposition way to increase the thickness of the line, the preparation of DPC way contains vacuum coating, wet deposition, Exposure development, etching, and other processes. The advantages are as below: - In terms of shape processing, DPC ceramic plate needs to be cut by laser, the traditional drilling and milling machine, and punch machine can not be accurately processed, so the combined force and line width are also finer. - The crystal performance of the metal is good; - The flatness is good; - The line is not easy to fall off; - The line position is more accurate, the line distance is smaller, reliable, and stable, can be through the hole and other advantages. The disadvantages are as below: It can only make a thin plate (thickness AMB (Active Metal Brazing) It is a method to realize the bonding of ceramic and metal by reacting a small number of active elements Ti and Zr in filler metal with ceramics to form a reaction layer that can be wetted by liquid filler metal. The advantages are as below: The combination is achieved by the chemical reaction between ceramic and active metal solder paste at high temperatures, so its bonding strength is higher and reliability is better. The disadvantages are as below: The reliability of the AMB process depends largely on the composition of active filler metal, brazing process, brazing layer structure, and many other key factors. Thick film Thick film technology is straight on ceramic substrate printed graphics, then direct sintering process. The advantages are as below: - The bonding force with ceramic is much greater than that of the DPC process; - It is direct printing of graphics, no etching, and copper plating process, so the cost will be lower; - It is a one-time forming, so the flatness is smoother than that of the DPC. The disadvantages are as below: Because the thick film process is printed, it is generally not too thick. Due to different product requirements, different materials have a certain impact on the conductivity of the film. So it is hard to say which process is best, it depends on the customer’s application and usage, customer could choose each of the processes according to their requirements.

Why VCSEL Laser Diodes Should Use DPC Ceramic Substrates

VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) laser diodes have become increasingly popular in the telecommunications, sensing, LIDAR, and optical interconnect industries due to their high efficiency, low power consumption, and high-speed modulation capabilities. One key factor in the performance and reliability of VCSEL laser diodes is the substrate material on which they are grown.   Traditionally, VCSEL laser diodes have been grown on gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrates. However, GaAs have some limitations such as a high thermal expansion coefficient and relatively low thermal conductivity, which can lead to thermal management issues and reliability problems. This is where DPC (Direct Bonded Copper) come into play.

DPC-Why VCSEL Laser Diodes Should Use DPC Ceramic Substrates   DPC ceramic substrates are an ideal material for growing VCSEL laser diodes due to their high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, and excellent mechanical properties. The direct bonding process used to create DPC substrates ensures that the copper layer is tightly bonded to the ceramic layer, providing excellent thermal management properties. In addition, DPC ceramic substrates have a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is well-matched to the epitaxial layers of the VCSEL laser diodes. This ensures that the diodes remain stable and reliable over a wide range of temperatures, making them suitable for use in a variety of applications. Using DPC ceramic substrates can also improve the performance of VCSEL laser diodes by reducing the threshold current and increasing the output power. This is due to the excellent thermal management properties of the DPC substrate, which can dissipate heat more efficiently and prevent thermal runaway. In summary, the use of DPC ceramic substrates in VCSEL laser diodes offers many advantages over traditional GaAs substrates, including improved thermal management, reliability, and performance. As the demand for high-speed, low-power laser diodes continues to grow, DPC ceramic substrates will become an increasingly important component in the production of VCSEL devices.
