Composed of an insulating substrate and conductive patterns, they primarily serve to achieve electrical connections and mechanical support between electronic components. PCBs are manufactured using a copper-clad laminate etching process, with copper foil covering the surface to form conductors or wiring. These conductors connect the electronic components, enabling signal transmission and power supply. PCBs not only reduce the space occupied by conductors but also improve the integration and performance of electronic devices through a clear layout and organization of the conductors.

These characteristics give insulated circuit boards significant advantages in applications requiring efficient thermal management and signal integrity.

In this application's specification and claims, scope definitions can be combined and / or interchanged, unless otherwise stated, these scopes include all subscopes contained therein.
[0030] To achieve the above objectives, such as Figure 1A , Figure 1B ,as well as Figures 2-5 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: an insulating circuit board 1 includes an upper metal layer 20, a ceramic substrate layer 10, and a lower metal layer 30 disposed from top to bottom. The ceramic substrate layer 10 has a groove 11 on the side near the upper metal layer 20 and a receiving hole 12 on the side near the lower metal layer 30. The groove 11 and the receiving hole 12 are non-penetratingly disposed in the ceramic substrate layer 10. At least a portion of the upper metal layer 20 extends into the groove 11, and at least a portion of the lower metal layer 30 extends into the receiving hole 12. By providing the groove 11 and the receiving hole 12 on the ceramic substrate layer 10, it is beneficial to accommodate high thermal conductivity materials, thereby enhancing the thermal conductivity of the ceramic substrate layer 10 and thus enhancing the heat dissipation performance of the insulating circuit board 1. Further, the upper metal layer 20 includes one or more layers selected from a tin-gold alloy layer, a platinum layer, a first gold layer, a first nickel layer, a first copper layer, and a titanium layer, and the lower metal layer 30 includes one or more layers selected from a second copper layer, a second nickel layer, and a second gold layer. It is worth mentioning that tin-gold alloy, platinum, gold, nickel, copper, and titanium, as materials with high thermal conductivity, can enhance the thermal conductivity of the insulating circuit board 1, which is beneficial for heat dissipation. On the other hand, since the lower metal layer 30 includes a second gold layer, a second nickel layer, and a second copper layer, it is worth mentioning that the good thermal conductivity of the metals due to the inclusion of gold, nickel, and copper can effectively enhance the heat dissipation performance of the insulating circuit board 1.
[0031] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 It is understood that the ceramic substrate layer 10 has a groove 11 on the side near the upper metal layer 20 and a receiving hole 12 on the side near the lower metal layer 30; the upper metal layer 20 has a protruding mating portion 21 on the side near the ceramic substrate layer 10, and the protruding mating portion 21 fills the groove 11; the lower metal layer 30 has an assembly portion 31 on the side near the ceramic substrate layer 10, and the assembly portion 31 fills the receiving hole 12. It can be understood that since the protruding mating portion 21 in the upper metal layer 20 can fill into the groove 11 and the assembly portion 31 in the lower metal layer 30 can fill into the receiving hole 12, the interlayer bonding is tighter and it is beneficial to improve the thermal conductivity of the insulating circuit board 1.
[0032] In some embodiments, the upper metal layer 20 and the lower metal layer 30 are disposed on opposite sides of the ceramic substrate layer 10 along a first direction without contact. It is worth noting that since the upper metal layer 20 does not contact the lower metal layer 30, this not only improves the mechanical properties of the ceramic substrate layer 10 but also prevents damage to the ceramic substrate layer 10 or even the insulating circuit board 1 caused by the metal extending into the through-hole and being heated when high-thermal-expansion metal materials are used in the upper metal layer 20 and the lower metal layer 30. This enhances the service life and operational stability of the insulating circuit board 1.
[0033] In some embodiments, the depth of the groove 11 along the first direction is 0.05mm to 0.25mm. It is understood that the depth of the groove 11 along the first direction is 0.05mm, 0.1mm, 0.15mm, 0.2mm, or 0.25mm. More preferably, the depth of the groove 11 along the first direction is 0.055mm to 0.065mm. The depth of the receiving hole 12 along the first direction is 0.05mm to 0.25mm. It is understood that the depth of the receiving hole 12 along the first direction is 0.05mm, 0.1mm, 0.15mm, 0.2mm, or 0.25mm. More preferably, the depth of the receiving hole 12 along the first direction is 0.055mm to 0.065mm. The length of the groove 11 along the second direction is less than the length of the ceramic substrate layer 10 along the second direction. The width of the groove 11 along the third direction is 0.01mm to 0.9mm. It can be understood that the width of the groove 11 along the third direction is 0.01mm, 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, or 0.9mm. Further, the width of the groove 11 along the third direction is 0.1mm to 0.6mm. It should be understood that the second and third directions are perpendicular to the first direction. The coordinate system can be flexibly set according to actual needs and is not limited here.
[0034] It is worth mentioning that since various materials that are conducive to heat conduction can be set in the groove 11, it is beneficial to enhance the adaptability of the ceramic substrate layer 10 in various application environments. Furthermore, when the ceramic substrate layer 10 provided in this application is applied to the insulating circuit board 1, the improved thermal conductivity can enhance the heat dissipation performance of the insulating circuit board 1, thereby maintaining good stability in use and extending its service life.
[0035] Wherein, the first direction is the height direction of the ceramic substrate layer 10, the second direction is the length direction of the ceramic substrate layer 10, and the third direction is the width direction of the ceramic substrate layer 10. It can be understood that the coordinate system can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and there are no restrictions here.
[0036] In some embodiments, the upper metal layer 20 includes a first metal portion 201 and a second metal portion 202 arranged side by side, with the first metal portion 201 and the second metal portion 202 spaced apart from each other. The spaced arrangement of the first metal portion 201 and the second metal portion 202 helps to increase the adaptability of the insulating circuit board 1 in various application environments and avoids the risk of damage to the insulating circuit board 1 due to thermal expansion.
[0037] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1A as well as Figure 1B It is known that the first metal part 201 is provided with a protruding mating part 21, which extends into the groove 11 in the ceramic substrate layer 10, thereby further enhancing the bonding stability between the first metal part 201 and the ceramic substrate layer 10.
[0038] In some embodiments, the distance between the first metal portion 201 and the second metal portion 202 along a third direction is 0.05 μm to 0.07 μm. It is understood that the distance between the first metal portion 201 and the second metal portion 202 along a third direction can be 0.05 μm, 0.055 μm, 0.06 μm, 0.065 μm, or 0.07 μm. Further, the distance between the first metal portion 201 and the second metal portion 202 along a third direction is 0.055 μm to 0.065 μm. The first metal portion 201 is opposite to the groove 11, and at least a portion of the bottom surface of the first metal portion 201 extends into the groove 11. It is worth noting that when the distance between the first metal portion 201 and the second metal portion 202 along a third direction is too small, the heat dissipation performance of the insulating circuit board 1 will be reduced.
[0039] It is understandable that the thermal conductivity of the current ceramic substrate layer 10 is insufficient to meet the growing demand for heat dissipation performance. However, the ceramic substrate layer 10 has the advantage of low cost. Therefore, this application improves the ceramic substrate layer 10 by providing a ceramic substrate layer 10 with a groove 11 and a receiving hole 12. However, it is difficult to achieve good heat dissipation performance by using the ceramic substrate layer 10 alone in a device. Therefore, it is necessary to add an upper metal layer 20 and a lower metal layer 30 on both sides of the ceramic substrate layer 10 to improve thermal conductivity, thereby obtaining an insulating circuit board 1 with good heat dissipation performance and usability.
[0040] It is worth mentioning that the upper metal layer 20 and the lower metal layer 30 can be disposed on both sides of the ceramic substrate layer 10 by deposition sputtering or electroplating. Deposition sputtering or electroplating, in particular, enhances the adhesion between the upper metal layer 20, the lower metal layer 30, and the ceramic substrate layer 10. On one hand, since deposition sputtering or electroplating allows for the integral molding of the upper metal layer 20 and the lower metal layer 30, the mechanical properties of the upper metal layer 20 and the lower metal layer 30 are enhanced. On the other hand, since the protruding mating portion 21 and the mounting portion 31 are integrally molded, they can be tightly bonded to the ceramic substrate layer 10, further improving the stability of the insulating circuit board 1 in use. Further, refer to Figure 1~ Figure 2 It is known that a smooth insulating circuit board 1 can be obtained by deposition sputtering or electroplating, and multiple metal layers can be set in the upper metal layer 20 and the lower metal layer 30 to enhance the performance.
[0041] In some embodiments, the components of each layer in the first metal part 201 and the second metal part 202 are the same, and the thickness of the same layer is also the same, which further increases the stability of the insulating circuit board 1 in use.
[0042] In some embodiments, the upper metal layer 20 includes, from top to bottom, a tin-gold alloy layer, a platinum layer, a first gold layer, a first nickel layer, a first copper layer, and a titanium layer, wherein the thickness of the platinum layer is 0.1 μm to 3 μm, specifically, the thickness of the platinum layer is 0.1 μm, 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, and 3 μm, and more preferably, the thickness of the platinum layer is 0.3 μm to 3 μm. It is understood that the platinum layer enhances the stability and performance of the insulating circuit board 1 while simultaneously improving its mechanical properties.
[0043] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first gold layer is 0.3 μm to 3 μm, specifically, the thickness of the first gold layer is 0.3 μm, 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 1.1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, or 3 μm, and more preferably, the thickness of the first gold layer is 0.5 μm to 1.8 μm. The thickness of the first nickel layer is 1 μm to 4 μm, specifically, the thickness of the first nickel layer is 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3 μm, or 4 μm, and more preferably, the thickness of the first nickel layer is 1 μm to 2 μm. The thickness of the first copper layer is 20 μm to 100 μm, specifically, the thickness of the first copper layer is 20 μm, 30 μm, 40 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 75 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, or 100 μm, and more preferably, the thickness of the first copper layer is 60 μm to 90 μm. The thickness of the titanium layer is 0.05 μm to 0.2 μm, specifically, the thickness of the titanium layer is 0.05 μm, 0.1 μm, 0.15 μm, and 0.2 μm. The thickness of the tin-gold alloy layer is 2 μm to 5 μm, and more preferably, the thickness of the tin-gold alloy layer is 3 μm to 4.5 μm. Since the thickness of the upper metal layer 20 in the insulating circuit board 1 directly affects its conductivity and thermal conductivity, the selection of the thickness of each metal layer in the insulating circuit board 1 is crucial for ensuring the performance, reliability, environmental adaptability, and heat dissipation performance of the circuit, and is also a key parameter that needs to be precisely controlled in the design and manufacturing of the insulating circuit board 1.
[0044] In some embodiments, the lower metal layer 30 includes a second copper layer, a second nickel layer, and a second gold layer disposed sequentially from top to bottom. The thickness of the second gold layer is 0.3 μm to 3 μm, more preferably 0.5 μm to 1.8 μm. The thickness of the second nickel layer is 1 μm to 4 μm, more preferably 2 μm to 3 μm. The thickness of the second copper layer is 20 μm to 100 μm, more preferably 61 μm to 91 μm. It is worth noting that the good thermal conductivity of the gold, nickel, and copper layers effectively enhances the heat dissipation performance of the insulating circuit board 1.
[0045] In some embodiments, the receiving hole 12 is circular, closed arc-shaped, or polygonal. By providing various receiving holes 12, the bonding performance between layers can be increased during adhesion, thereby enhancing stability in use.
[0046] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5As can be seen, the insulating circuit board 1 further includes a chip layer 40, which is bonded to the upper metal layer 20 on the side away from the lower metal layer 30. The projection of the groove 11 along the first direction completely falls inside the projection of the chip layer 40 along the first direction. It is understood that the chip layer 40, as one of the important components in the insulating circuit board 1, exhibits significant heat generation, especially when used in high-performance processors, power semiconductors, and other electronic devices. Therefore, to enhance the stability of the insulating circuit board 1, heat dissipation of the chip layer 40 is necessary. In this application, by placing the groove 11, which can accommodate highly thermally conductive material to enhance heat dissipation performance, below the chip layer 40 along the first direction, the heat generated by the chip layer 40 can be conducted away promptly and quickly, thereby enhancing the performance of the insulating circuit board 1.
