How To Solve The Problem Of Insufficient Heat Dissipation Of Ceramic Substrate In Thermoelectric Cooler

Thermoelectric cooling is a new technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way things are kept cold, whether it is food, wine, beer or cigars. In fact, it is a completely different approach to refrigeration from standard compressors. As we know that ceramic substrate plays a vital role in the thermoelectric cooler, the top and bottom of thermoelectric cooler(TEC) are ceramic substrate, which play the role of electrical insulation, heat conduction and support. And the biggest problems for the TEC is the heat dissipation. To solve this problem it the top concern. As different ceramic materials have different electronical and chemical properties. For example, the thermal conductivity of alumina is ≧24W/M.K, and the thermal conductivity of aluminum nitride is ≧170W/M.K. After the TEC is connected with the current, the temperature difference is generated due to the Parr effect, and the resistance encountered in the process of heat transfer inside the ceramic base is called the thermal conductivity resistance. The thermal resistance experiment shows that Al>Al2O3>Cu>AlN, aluminum nitride substrate has the lowest thermal resistance and the best thermal conductivity. And the aluminum nitride substrate with thinner plate thickness has smaller thermal resistance. The best choice is to use aluminum nitride...

Why VCSEL Laser Diodes Should Use DPC Ceramic Substrates

VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) laser diodes have become increasingly popular in the telecommunications, sensing, LIDAR, and optical interconnect industries due to their high efficiency, low power consumption, and high-speed modulation capabilities. One key factor in the performance and reliability of VCSEL laser diodes is the substrate material on which they are grown.   Traditionally, VCSEL laser diodes have been grown on gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrates. However, GaAs have some limitations such as a high thermal expansion coefficient and relatively low thermal conductivity, which can lead to thermal management issues and reliability problems. This is where DPC (Direct Bonded Copper) come into play.   DPC ceramic substrates are an ideal material for growing VCSEL laser diodes due to their high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, and excellent mechanical properties. The direct bonding process used to create DPC substrates ensures that the copper layer is tightly bonded to the ceramic layer, providing excellent thermal management properties. In addition, DPC ceramic substrates have a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is well-matched to the epitaxial layers of the VCSEL laser diodes. This ensures that the diodes remain stable and reliable over a wide range of temperatures, making them suitable for...
