Power Module Packages

Kyocera provides power module packages using layer stack-up of silicon nitride ceramic substrate and copper plates. The copper plates are bonded to the silicon nitride by using high-reliability active metal bonding method. This is used as a hermetic power module package in the industry.

 Features
  • High Reliability: Hermeticity confirmed after 1000 cycles of TCT (-65oC to +150oC) - a reference Kyocera test result
  • 0.15 to 0.3mm-thick Copper (Volume Resistivity: 1.7μƒIƒEƒ€·cm, Thermal Conductivity: 394W/mK)
  • Multilayer Structure: Copper plates and silicon nitride ceramic substrate are bonded by active metal bonding method.
  • Upper layer circuits and lower layer circuits are connected by copper filled via holes. ( Figure 1 )
  • Reduced Size, Thickness and Weight.
  • Screw Clamping
