Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic substrates, and in particular to a waterproof LED ceramic packaging substrate. Background Technology
[0002] Ceramic substrates are special boards made by directly bonding copper foil to the surface (single-sided or double-sided) of an alumina (Al2O3) or aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramic substrate at high temperatures. The resulting ultra-thin composite substrates possess excellent electrical insulation properties, high thermal conductivity, excellent solderability, and high adhesion strength. Like PCB boards, they can be etched with various patterns and have a large current-carrying capacity. Therefore, ceramic substrates have become a fundamental material for high-power power electronic circuit structure and interconnection technologies.
[0003] Currently, the microelectronics industry is developing rapidly, and electronic devices and equipment are moving towards high integration and miniaturization, which places increasingly higher demands on the performance of substrates. Alumina ceramic substrates and aluminum nitride ceramic substrates are widely used in electronic packaging fields such as thick-film integrated circuits and LED packaging due to their excellent insulation properties, good thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and high mechanical strength.
[0004] Current LED ceramic packaging substrates generally consist of a ceramic base and a metal dam. Front and back pads are located on the upper and lower surfaces of the ceramic base and connected to conductive pillars penetrating the ceramic base. While this type of ceramic substrate has a simple structure, it suffers from poor waterproofing. In humid environments, external moisture can easily penetrate the substrate, corroding the conductive circuitry and damaging the product. This leads to malfunctions, significant safety hazards, inconvenience for users, generally lower product quality, shorter lifespan, and lack of competitiveness, failing to meet current demands. Therefore, it is necessary to research a new technical solution to improve current LED ceramic packaging substrates. Utility Model Content
