파키스탄용 2025년 제품 개요 및 시장 관련성

Silicon carbide ceramic heat-spreader substrates—R‑SiC (reaction-bonded), SSiC (sintered), RBSiC (reaction-bonded siliconized), and SiSiC (silicon-infiltrated)—are the thermal backbone of modern power electronics. By combining high thermal conductivity, low density, excellent stiffness, and outstanding wear/erosion resistance, these ceramics move heat rapidly from SiC MOSFETs, SiC Schottky diodes, IGBT legacy stages, magnetics, and high-power passives into compact air or liquid cooling systems. For Pakistan’s textile, cement, and steel industries, and the country’s growing data centers, heat-spreaders are mission-critical to keep cabinets cooler, extend component lifetime, and sustain >98% system efficiencies under hot, dusty conditions and grid disturbances.

2025년에 이것이 중요한 이유:

• Thermal headroom equals reliability: With plant rooms hitting 45–50°C, spreading heat uniformly across cold plates and heatsinks stabilizes junction temperatures and prevents hot-spot driven failures.
• Higher switching frequencies with SiC: Efficient heat extraction makes 50–100 kHz operation viable, shrinking magnetics and cabinets by 30–40% and lowering fan power.
• Rugged environmental fit: SiC ceramics resist abrasion from dust-laden airflows (cement, 강철) and maintain flatness and strength across thermal cycles.
• Localized integration: Modular heat-spreader kits shorten deployment for UPS, VFDs, and rectifiers, reducing commissioning time for industrial parks in Karachi, Lahore, and Faisalabad.

Sicarb Tech designs and manufactures precision-machined SiC ceramic heat-spreader substrates with metallization options, vacuum-brazed cooling channels, and co-design services for laminated busbars and DBC stacks—backed by Chinese Academy of Sciences materials research and a decade of SiC manufacturing expertise.
