▼ Description of Ceramic Substrates
Currently, there are four main types of substrate materials commonly used in electronic packaging: polymer substrate; metal substrate; composite substrate; ceramic substrates. The ceramic substrate material is widely used in electronic packaging substrate for its following advantages (see below table). UNIPRETEC is good at providing ceramic substrates made of two main technical ceramics: 96% Alumina Ceramic and Aluminum Nitride Ceramic. The ceramic substrates can be etched various graphics like the PCB, with great current carrying capacity. 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.
