Ceramics are among the "big three" electronic materials, along with metals and organic materials. Ceramics are created through a high-temperature sintering process. This page introduces the definition, characteristics, and use cases for ceramics.
Properties and Applications of Ceramics
A “ceramic” may be defined as any inorganic solid material. Typical examples include pottery, glass, cement, brick, and enamels. Among ceramic materials, those with particularly excellent material properties and high dimensional accuracy are distinguished as Fine Ceramics.
Fine Ceramics, characterized by their hardness, thermal resistance, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation, are used in a variety of applications, including automobiles, communications networks, semiconductor packages and industrial machinery parts.
Features of Fine Ceramics in Semiconductor (IC) Packages
Fine ceramics used as semiconductor package materials have the following five characteristics:
