NR0916 Aluminum Nitride Substrates, AlN Substrates

Aluminum Nitride Substrate Description

Aluminum nitride substrate is made of high purity aluminum nitride ceramics. AlN is a light grey or white ceramic material which has a density of 3.26g/cm3. Due to its high thermal conductivity and great electrical insulation, AlN was used in microelectronic industries. Surface oxidization happened in air even for room temperature, however, the aluminum oxide layer can protect the material up to 1370 C. Metallization methods are available to allow aluminum nitride to be used in electronics applications similar to those of alumina and beryllium oxide.

The hardness of aluminum nitride substrate is even higher than alumina, the traditional technical ceramic, making it an ideal material for applications that require good wear resistance.

Aluminum Nitride Substrate Advantages

Alumminum nitride AlN substrates have the following advantages:
* Very high thermal conductivity (> 170 W/mK)
* High electrical insulation capacity (>1.10¹²Ωcm)
* Strength according to the double ring method >320 MPa (biaxial strength)
* Low thermal expansion 4 to 6×10^-6K^-1(between 20 and 1000°C)
* Good metallization capacity

Aluminum Nitride Substrate Applications

AlN substrates are used in the following applications:

* Opto-electronics；
