Baineng Yunban Diamond Core Capabilities

1. Ultra-High Thermal Conductivity Breaks Thermal Bottlenecks

Diamond substrate achieves thermal conductivity of 1800–2200 W/(m·K), which is 4–5 times that of conventional AlN substrates and 3–4 times that of Si₃N₄ substrates, enabling ultra-fast heat dissipation pathways. Combined with an 800 μm double-sided thick copper structure, thermal spreading efficiency increases by over 50%, effectively stabilizing the junction temperature of SiC/GaN devices and eliminating thermal accumulation risks at the source.


2. Mature AMB Process Ensures Maximum Reliability

Baineng Yunban has deep expertise in AMB technology, achieving atomic-level metallurgical bonding between diamond and thick copper layers, with interfacial bond strength exceeding 30 MPa—far surpassing industry standards. The substrate withstands extreme thermal cycling from -40°C to 150°C without delamination, cracking, or void formation, making it ideal for demanding applications such as automotive and rail transportation.


3. Customized Precision Manufacturing for Diverse Applications

Supports standard Φ100 mm base wafers with flexible panel layouts (approx. 18 units per panel). High-precision etching and dicing maintain tolerances within ±20 μm. Customization options include copper thickness, pattern layout, and surface finish, perfectly matching various packaging and power requirements to enable miniaturization and high integration.


4. End-to-End Quality Control for Consistent Delivery

A comprehensive quality control system covers every stage from raw material to finished product, rigorously inspecting appearance, blisters, porosity, and void content to ensure consistency. Adhering to a “non-destructive testing” principle, only fully qualified products are shipped, while also supporting customer-led reliability validation to accelerate project implementation.



Baineng Yunban Benchmark Case Study | Industrial High-Power Servo Drive

Industry Pain Point: The Core Conflict Between Size Reduction and Thermal Performance Blocks Entry into Premium Markets

A leading Chinese industrial automation company targeting high-end CNC machine tools faced stringent upgrade requirements for its high-power servo drives: power module volume must be reduced by 30% without compromising thermal performance, while maintaining stable operation under 1.5x overload conditions. Traditional ceramic substrate solutions failed entirely—reducing size drastically cut heat dissipation area, causing junction temperatures to exceed limits, resulting in sluggish response, reduced positioning accuracy, and failure to pass long-term industrial reliability tests, thus blocking access to premium markets.


Baineng Yunban Solution: Diamond AMB Thick Copper Substrate Delivers Breakthrough Performance

Addressing the client’s core challenges, Baineng Yunban leveraged its proprietary technology to deliver a customized thermal solution: selecting high-thermal-conductivity diamond substrate and combining it with in-house AMB process to create an 800 μm double-sided thick copper structure. Through optimized panel layout and precision etching/dicing, the solution achieved a 30% volume reduction while maximizing thermal efficiency—perfectly balancing miniaturization and high-performance cooling.
