Global DCB and AMB Substrates for Power Modules Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

DBC (Direct Bonded Copper) substrates are composed of a ceramic insulator, Al2O3 or AlN onto which pure copper metal is attached by a high temperature eutectic melting process and thus tightly and firmly joined to the ceramic. This report studies the DBC ceramic substrate, including the AlN DBC Ceramic Substrate and Al2O3 DBC Ceramic Substrate. Active Metal Brazing (AMB) is the latest developments in ceramic substrates and offers the ability to produce Heavy Copper with a AlN (Aluminium Nitride) or SiN (Silicon Nitride). The normal metallisation process is not used as AMB involves brazing pure copper on the ceramic in a high temperature vacuum brazing process. As well as offering a high reliability substrate with unique heat dissipation. The brazing technology also enables double sided copper weights of up to 800µm on thin ceramic substrates of just 0.25mm.

The global DBC ceramic substrates market is dominated by few players like Rogers Corporation, Ferrotec, NGK Electronics Devices, KCC, Shengda Tech, BYD, Heraeus Electronics and Nanjing Zhongjiang New Material, etc. Global five players hold a share over 79.8 percent in 2024. In recent years, more and more Chinese players enter the DBC ceramic substrates market, driven by the rapid growth of new energy vehicles in China market. In future, the Chinese players will play more roles around the world.

The global key manufacturers of AMB Ceramic Substrate include Rogers Corporation, Ferrotec, BYD, Toshiba Materials, Heraeus Electronics, Denka, Proterial and Mitsubishi Materials, etc. In 2023, the global top eight players had a share approximately 85% in terms of revenue.

Currently the AMB ceramic substrates are mainly produced in Japan, Germany and China, which account for 27.3%, 24.56% and 43.5% of the market share respectively in 2023. It is expected that China's production share will reach 57% in 2030. As NGK Electronics Devices and Ferrotec have started or built factories to produce AMB in Malaysia, Southeast Asia is expected to play an important role as a production base in the next few years.
