電子アプリケーション

Ceramic materials are indispensable in electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, and televisions. Technical ceramic materials have superior electrical and magnetic properties. Ceramics are generally lighter and smaller than metallic materials.

In the electronics sector, advanced ceramics offer not only excellent electrical insulation but also high piezoelectricity, thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength. With an ability to withstand harsh environments, they also be resistant to corrosion and wear helping in providing a relatively longer life span. As such, advanced ceramics are important in the manufacturing of electronics which push for high-performing and small yet reliable electronic items.

Integrated Circuit Packaging

Integrated circuit packaging relies its work role on advanced ceramics. Alumina ceramics are one such ceramic type widely adopted for high performance packaging substrates, exhibiting great characteristics of electrical insulation as well as thermal diffusivity. The ceramic substrates hold integrated circuit chips and as long as the connection works correctly, this would give a stable performance of the device.

 

Substrates and Capacitors

Ceramic substrates find ample applications in electronic components like circuit boards and printed circuit boards. They have good insulation characteristics and high-temperature resistance, so they are suitable to support and connect electronic components. Besides, necessary ceramic materials such as ceramic capacitors are key electronic components for storing and releasing charges in the circuit to achieve circuit stability and perform optimization.

Sensors and Actuators

Market applications of advanced ceramics are broad, but one main area and with a great potential is in the field of sensors and actuators. Ceramic materials, for example, are sensitive elements used in pressure sensors that detect pressure changes and convert them into electrical energy signals. In addition, ultrasonic generators and actuators that leverage precise control over sound and its mechanical motion are also made from ceramics including piezoelectric ceramics.

Thermal Management

High power density and thermal effects in the electronic device necessitate effective thermal management. For application as heat sink,heat-dissipating substrate and thermal pad etc.,advanced ceramic materials with better thermal conductivity and high-temperature stability are the optimal candidates. These ceramic parts have high thermal conductivity to spread the heat and keep temperature steady, increasing the performance point and reliability of electronics.
