The conventional organic substrate generally uses high heat dissipation adhesive films for heat dissipation, but the heat dissipation coefficient of the heat dissipation adhesive films is generally within 20W/mk. In addition, as the heat dissipation coefficient increases, the fluidity of the heat dissipation film becomes poor, and the adhesive force becomes weak, which not only affects the sufficient filling of the circuit gaps, but also weakens the adhesive force between the layers of the PCB. Because the heat dissipation coefficient of the heat dissipation adhesive film is limited, the thickness of the adhesive film cannot be designed to be too thick, otherwise, the heat dissipation performance is affected. However, the limited thickness of the adhesive film brings the risk of high voltage failure of 800V and 1200V. These problems are common on the organic substrate at the present stage, and limit the improvement of the finished product performance of the PCB. In view of the above, the application proposes an innovative method for manufacturing a composite PCB board with high heat dissipation performance by combining a ceramic substrate and an organic material, considering that the ceramic substrate not only has excellent heat dissipation performance and can bear high voltage, but also has good adhesion strength with copper foil. The method aims to solve the defects of the traditional organic substrate in heat dissipation, voltage resistance and copper foil bonding strength, so as to realize remarkable improvement of the performance of the PCB. Through the use of the composite material, the high heat dissipation property and the voltage resistance property of the ceramic substrate can be fully utilized, and meanwhile, the flexibility and the processing convenience of the organic material are maintained, so that a more reliable PCB solution is provided for high-performance electronic equipment.

The current technical scheme is to weld the power module to a heat dissipation copper frame to realize heat dissipation. Such heat dissipating copper frames typically have a thickness exceeding 1mm, which in embedded designs results in a corresponding increase in core board thickness, which in turn results in an increase in the thickness of the final product. The present application proposes a new solution to directly sinter the power module onto the plane of the ceramic substrate without the use of a massive heat dissipating copper frame. The thickness of the power chip is typically 0.180 + -0.020 mm, which means that thicker core material is not required to support the power module. By using a resin adhesive sheet with good fluidity for lamination, the thickness of the finished product can be significantly reduced. The design not only reduces the material cost, but also meets the market demand of the miniaturization development of the packaging module.
