Ceramic Core Aluminum Nitride (ALN)
Source: Heatron, Inc.
Aluminum nitride (ALN) is a hard, dense, non-porous, high purity substrate. It offers excellent thermal conductivity and uniformity, superior moisture and chemical resistance, excellent size and shape capability, a precise and repeatable pattern, and distributed wattage.
This substrate is ideal for high temperature medical applications up to 1000oC. It’s ideal for instrumentation involved in dialysis, CPAP, DNA analysis/testing, temperature therapy, and sterilization. It can also be used in surgical devices, vessel sealers, instrument warming, MRI equipment, and blood/fluid warming applications.
- Power densities to 155 W/cm2 (1000 W/in2).
- Superior thermal conductivity (220 W/mK).
- Excellent dielectric properties.
- Low coefficient of thermal expansion.
- Low mass: fast temperature ramp up and cool down.
- Low leakage current.
- No out gassing with inorganic systems.
