DOWA HD Europe GmbH

The DOWA Group was founded in 1884 as a mining and smelting company. Harnessing its technologies and operational experiences in mining and smelting, we today operate unique sustainability-oriented businesses that range from the production of metals and high value-added products to waste treatment and metal recycling.

At DOWA Metaltech we develop and manufacture metal ceramic substrates that are indispensable for power electronics which convert and control high-voltage and high-current. We achieved a major share of the global market in the field of metal aluminum nitride ceramic substrates as our substrates are characterized by high heat dissipation, high reliability and high mechanical strength.

With Al-metalized substrates (ALMIC®) and Al-metalized Integrated Substrates, manufacture through aluminum bonding technology, we are able to offer substrates with integrated baseplates and integrated cooling structures, going beyond the limits of metal ceramic substrates.

By our original copper base material (DSC-3N) 30-50 % less baseplate warpage at substrate bonding compared to pure copper can be achieved. Since we produce copper/copper alloys by our own, we implemented an integrated production starting from casting to progressive baseplate processing which makes it possible to achieve both great cost performance and quality.

We, DOWA, are contributing to create an affluent, sustainability-oriented society through our worldwide business activities.
