Ceramic substrate is a commonly used electronic packaging substrate material. Compared with plastic and metal substrates, ceramic substrate has the following advantages:
1) Good Insulation
Generally speaking, the higher substrate resistance, the better reliability of the package. Ceramic materials are generally covalent bond compounds with better insulation properties.
2) Low Dielectric Coefficient and Good Frequency Performance
The low dielectric constant and dielectric loss of ceramic materials can reduce the signal delay time and increase the transmission speed.
3) Small Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE)
Covalent bond compounds generally have high melting point, and the higher the melting point, the smaller the thermal expansion coefficient, so the CTE of ceramic materials is generally small.
4) High Thermal Conductivity
Ceramic substrate materials are widely used in high-reliability, high-frequency, high-temperature resistance, and strong air-tight product packaging in aviation, aerospace and military engineering. The packaging of ceramic substrate materials is generally a multilayer ceramic substrate package, which is widely used in hybrid integrated circuit (HIC) and multi-chip module (MCM) ceramic packages.

New military materials include superalloys, carbon fibers and special ceramic materials.Among them, compared with conventional materials, special ceramic materials have huge advantages: its density is only 1/4 to 1/3 of the high temperature metal alloy, high strength, wear resistance, has good high
Hot isostatic pressing is a process technology that uses high temperature and high pressure to make metal or ceramic products withstand isotropic and equal pressure, so that the parts can be sintered and densified. It has the advantages of stable chemical composition, isotropic mechanical properties
