Why is Ceramic Metallization Necessary?
Advantages of Ceramic Materials: High insulation, high heat resistance, high mechanical strength, and excellent heat dissipation.
However, their limitations: They cannot conduct electricity directly and cannot be soldered. Therefore, metallization processes are required to enable ceramics to be used in: power modules (IGBT/SiC), semiconductor equipment, vacuum connectors, LED heat sinks, and aerospace hermetically sealed components.
