The global power electronic DCB & AMB substrates market size was USD 459 million in 2022 and market to touch USD 1206 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 11.3% from 2022 to 2031.

The Al2O3 or AlN ceramic insulator is the base of DBC (Direct Bonded Copper) substrates, which are then snugly and permanently bonded to the ceramic by attaching pure copper metal to it via a high-temperature eutectic melting process. In this research, the DBC ceramic substrate—including the AlN and Al2O3 DBC ceramic substrates—is studied. Products called DCB and AMB Substrates for Power Modules are made by bonding copper plates to the surfaces of ceramic plates, which act as insulators. We provide silicone nitride-based ceramic materials and alumina-based ceramic materials. Ceramic plates consisting of the former are bonded with copper plates using the active metal brazing (AMB) method and the latter, direct copper bonding (DCB) method, respectively. The copper in those goods has a high thermal conductivity, a high electrical conductivity, and a high ceramic substrate insulation property.

A bonding layer with a thickness of several microns or less has been produced in the AMB process we use, creating essentially little impact on the thermal performance. A bonding layer with a thickness of few microns or less has been attained using the AMB approach, producing essentially no impact on the bonding layer's thermal resistance. Additionally, there is essentially no bonding layer that creates thermal resistance in the DCB process because a copper plate is directly connected to an alumina-based ceramic substrate. A bonding layer with a thickness of few microns or less has been attained using the AMB approach, producing essentially no impact on the bonding layer's thermal resistance. Additionally, there is essentially no bonding layer that creates thermal resistance in the DCB process because a copper plate is directly connected to an alumina-based ceramic substrate.

The newest advancement in ceramic substrates, Active Metal Brazing (AMB), allows for the production of Heavy Copper with an AlN (Aluminum Nitride) or SiN coating (Silicon Nitride). Since AMB includes high-temperature vacuum brazing of pure copper on ceramic, the standard metallization procedure is not used. Additionally, it provides a highly reliable substrate with distinctive heat dissipation. Additionally, double-sided copper weights of up to 800 m on extremely thin ceramic substrates of just 0.25 mm are possible thanks to brazing technology.

COVID-19 Impact: COVID-19 Shows Negative Influence On The Market Growth

The COVID-19 effect is anticipated to have an influence on the power electronics market in 2020 since the majority of OEMs are currently seeing a drop in end-product demand, which will ultimately have an impact on the growth of the power electronics market. The Covid-19 epidemic has altered the balance between supply and demand for numerous sectors involved in the supply chain. In a fantastic effort to help readers improve their market position, the Global DCB and AMB Substrates Market Opportunities and Forecast 2022–2028 study identifies major opportunities present in the global DCB and AMB Substrates market under the covid-19 effect. The report will offer relevant statistics and information to all clients, whether they are investors, potential competitors, or industry insiders. The novel coronavirus-caused sickness COVID-19, which has spread globally, was destined to strain the supply chain. Electronics is one of the most significant and possibly the most challenging industries among those affected.

Restraining Factors

"Poor Mechanism Of Thermal Expansion May Hinder The Market Growth"

Because of their varying coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE), metal and ceramic do not expand and contract at the same rate in response to temperature changes. As copper and ceramic are combined at a very high temperature, generally 800°C for active metal brazing (AMB) or 1,060°C for direct bonded copper (DBC) substrates, mechanical stress will already be trapped in the substrates during the joining process. Additionally, because of possible changes in ambient temperature and the junction temperature of semiconductor devices when they turn on and off the load, substrates will be subjected to considerable temperature fluctuations throughout operation. The substrates will experience alternating compression and tensile stress as a result. If there were no other issues affecting module reliability, this stress, which is not evenly distributed across the entire surface but is concentrated on the corners and edges of the copper pads, may eventually lead to edge cracks in the ceramic.
