POWER ELECTRONIC DCB & AMB SUBSTRATES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global power electronic dcb & amb substrates market size was USD 1.49 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 6.88 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 18.49% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

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

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.
