High Thermal Conductivity Aluminum Nitride (AlN) Ceramic Substrate

To better serve you, we would like to discuss your specific requirement, Please Contact Us for a quote.

Aluminum Nitride (AlN) Ceramic Substrate is made of high purity AlN ceramics. AlN is a white ceramic material with excellent comprehensive properties. These properties include excellent thermal conductivity (>170W/mK), electrical insulation and heat radiation, which make it suitable for electrical applications. AlN is also widely used in semiconductor industry for the replacement of Beryllium Oxide (BeO) due to that AlN isn't hazardous under machining. Other properties also include resistance to thermal shock, low dielectric constant and dielectric loss, and a coefficient of thermal expansion compatible with silicon, which make AlN substrate an ideal material for semiconductor industry and electronic device packaging.
