High Power Metal Substrates: ALOX-CLADTM:

ALOXTM is employed as an enabling technology to create a clad
structure where aluminum panel is embedded in or covered with
ALOXTM based dielectric layer.
ALOX-CLADTM structure is typically built of 0.5-2.5 mm aluminum
base with ~40mm of ALOXTM ceramic dielectric layers separating
the aluminum core from the top circuitry.
The basic structure is typically plated with heavy copper circuitry
specifically patterned and designed according to customer specific design.

Two main competing technologies for high power and voltage applications
are direct bonded copper (DBC) and Aluminum panels covered with certain
polymeric adhesive materials of relatively low thermal resistance.

Typical main properties for ALOX-CLADTM are:

  • Thermal resistance:0.014 [DegC x inch2 /Watt]
  • Dielectric strength of insulating ALOX layer:<5KVolt
