At Fine Ceramic Plus (F+), we focus on the design, development, and manufacturing of composite ceramic materials that integrate multiple functional properties into a single engineered solution. Unlike conventional single-phase ceramics, composite ceramics combine two or more phases—structural, conductive, insulating, or porous—to deliver superior mechanical strength, thermal stability, and functional versatility. This product category is one of F+’s core strengths, connecting advanced materials science with real-world applications across high-tech industries.
Why Choose Composite Ceramics?
Composite ceramics are engineered to overcome the limitations of traditional ceramics. For example, pure oxide ceramics provide strong insulation but limited toughness, while conductive ceramics suit electrical applications yet lack thermal-shock resistance. Through co-firing, hot pressing (HP), and cold isostatic pressing (CIP), F+ produces balanced-performance ceramics that achieve high strength, stability, and reliability for semiconductor equipment, vacuum systems, laser optics, high-temperature modules, and specialty industrial tooling.
Key Material Families
Our composite portfolio includes (but is not limited to):
-
Conductive Composites: Tunable resistivity (10^2–10^12 Ω) for semiconductor processes that must address ESD dissipation while avoiding particle generation and peeling associated with traditional Teflon (PTFE) coatings.
-
Microporous Composite Materials: Featuring controllable pore sizes ranging from 10–80 μm, designed for use in vacuum chucks and specialized functional components.
-
Zirconia-Toughened Alumina (ZTA): Enhanced fracture toughness, wear resistance, and stability for precision mechanical components.
-
Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) Composites: High optical transparency, excellent thermal conductivity, and durability for laser and optical systems.
Advanced Processing Capabilities
F+ leverages multi-cycle high-temperature sintering and precise control of vacuum-furnace environments (≈4–6 Pa; 1600–2000 °C), combined with precision tape casting (doctor-blade) and CIP densification, to ensure optimal microstructures, low porosity, and high consistency. Based on customer needs, we also provide:
-
Pre-sintered bonding for ESCs and heater modules
-
Electrode-layer fabrication for composite parts
-
Protective ceramic coatings to extend service life in corrosive or plasma environments and significantly mitigate electrical-leakage risks by design
-
Custom porosity control for micro-suction, filtration, and thermal-management solutions
Applications
Composite ceramics play a pivotal role in next-generation technologies:
-
