AMB Technology

AMB — Active Metal Brazed

Active-metal braze joins thick copper to Si3N4 or selected AlN ceramics.

High-reliability power modules

AMB — Active Metal Brazed

Active-metal braze joins thick copper to Si3N4 or selected AlN ceramics.

  • Thermal-cycle reliability
  • Automotive and SiC modules

Additional Metallization Options

Select other routes when copper-clad technology is not the right fit.

These technologies remain distinct from DBC, DPC and AMB.

  • Thick-Film Metallization
  • Thin-Film Metallization
  • Mo-Mn Metallization
  • Pattern Etching
  • Photolithography
  • Plating / Surface Finish
  • Custom Circuit Geometry

AMB Specifications

FAQ

Questions buyers commonly ask.

Practical sourcing questions for material selection, processing and ordering.

Should I choose DBC, DPC or AMB?

Choose DBC for established thick-copper power circuits, DPC for fine controlled plated circuits and AMB for severe thermal cycling and high mechanical reliability.

Can multiple ceramic bases be used?

Yes. Alumina and AlN are common for DBC/DPC, while Si3N4 is the priority AMB base for high-reliability power modules.

Are the line/space values guaranteed for every design?

No. They are starting references. Copper thickness, geometry, panel utilization and process route control feasibility.

What information is required for quotation?

Provide ceramic and copper thickness, metallization route, circuit file, finish, electrical or reliability criteria, quantity and assembly process.

What to Specify for RFQ

Provide the complete ceramic and circuit definition.

Metallized substrates require more than an outline drawing.

  • DBC, DPC, AMB or other route
  • Ceramic base and grade
  • Ceramic thickness
  • Copper / metal thickness
  • Circuit drawing / Gerber / DXF
  • Minimum line and isolation gap
  • Surface finish
  • Flatness / warpage
  • Electrical / bond tests
  • Quantity and delivery target
