Our Products

Manufacture of metal ceramic substrates for power modules.Outstanding heat dissipation and reliability that contribute to energy conservation and a decarbonized society.

Metal ceramic substrates manufactured by our company achieve high heat dissipation, high reliability, and high mechanical strength. In addition to industrial applications, our products are used in power modules for clean energy applications such as electric railways, solar and wind power generation, and electric vehicles, which are expected to grow worldwide.
Aluminum-metalized substrates (ALMIC®) and aluminum-metalized Integrated Substrates, which we manufacture through our original technology, are used in power modules that require more severe heat cycle resistance as well as heat dissipation.
These technologies have been greatly evaluated by our customers.

Three features of DOWA POWER DEVICE products.

Comprehensive product lineup to meet customer needs
Our comprehensive product lineup allows us to offer a variety of performances for various power module applications.
World-class quality achieved through our original technologies
By our original processing technologies for circuit formation we manufacture substrates with higher reliability.We have a long experience of our products being adopted in modules for traction applications.
Providing aluminum-metalized Integrated Substrates that go beyond the limits of metal ceramic substrates
By developing the molten aluminum direct bonding , we achieved to produce substrates with integrated base plates and fins, going beyond the limits of metal ceramic substrates.
