Copper is the primary component of the adhesive substrate known as the Direct Bonding Copper DBC Substrate. A thin sheet of metal that has been constructed with additional layers to increase its conductivity and chemical stability is known as a direct bonding copper DBC substrate. It can be utilized for semiconductor packages and electronic products, which are the ones that come into contact with people's bodies the most frequently. There are two variations of the direct bonding technique: ultrasonic adhesion and pressure-sensitive adhesion (PSA) (SA). Various electronic parts, including integrated circuits, capacitors, sensors, etc., utilize this.

Bond Due to its high thermal conductivity, high current capacity, and heat dissipation of the high-purity copper on ceramic, copper is a widely accepted and time-proven technology for power electronic goods. To prevent a CTE mismatch with different semiconductor devices, one can alter the whole system's CTE value by adjusting the copper and ceramic thickness and type. By lowering thermally generated stress and thus enhancing dependability after thermal cycling, optional dimple features added to your design considerably increase thermal cycling reliability.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID 19 Spread Hindered The Market Growth

The product is used to secure integrated circuit chips to interpose or lead frames during semiconductor assembly. Additionally, it aids in achieving high adhesive reliability in BOC and stacked CSP production processes as well as in resolving traditional silver paste leakage issues that result in short circuits.

• EV surge: Electric vehicle sector contributed more than 40 % of global DBC demand in 2023 .

• Tech miniaturization: Transition to flip-chip and microelectronics has elevated DBC demand in compact designs .

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High quality and affordable cost availability limiting the market growth

The price volatility of substrate raw materials and the scarcity of high-quality, affordable products on the market is the main factors limiting the worldwide DCB substrate market. In addition, the usage of dicing die attach film is limited in several situations because to low public awareness of its advantages. Therefore, it is projected that this will restrain market expansion.

• Raw material cost volatility: Ceramic and copper supply fluctuations drive ~30 % production cost hikes .

• Supply chain bottlenecks: Limited access to high-grade ceramics has constrained DBC output—particularly in smaller manufacturers .
