Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) printed circuit board (PCBs) coated with copper (Customized printed graphic)

High-density silicon nitride copper-clad laminates are highly suitable for high-power and high-voltage circuit board requirements. The unique copper-clad process enables the perfect bonding of copper foil to silicon nitride substrate, effectively preventing delamination and significantly improving the yield rate of customer-side processes.

Nitride ceramic substrate has high hardness and strength, good thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion, low high-temperature creep, resistance to oxidation and corrosion, low friction coefficient, and is a ceramic material with excellent comprehensive performance.

Test Result: Peel strength of the copper cladding reached up to 8.01 lbf/in

Si₃N₄ Substrate with Copper Cladding – 250°C High-Temperature Test


1. Place the board into an oven, heat to 150°C and hold for 30 minutes.

2. Continue heating to 250°C and hold for 90 minutes.

3. Without opening the oven, allow the temperature to drop to 80°C before removing the sample.

4. Check for warping of the substrate and delamination of the copper cladding.

Test Results:
No warping, no copper delamination, no bulging or cracking observed.
