Introduction of AlN Ceramic Substrates

Aluminum Nitride Ceramic Copper Clad Laminate (AlN copper clad laminate for short) is a special electronic material with aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramic as the substrate and a high-purity copper layer on the surface. It combines the ultra-high thermal conductivity of aluminum nitride ceramic, excellent electrical insulation, and the superior electrical conductivity of metallic copper, becoming one of the core materials in the fields of high-power electronic devices, high-frequency communication, new energy vehicles, etc., and is known as the "ultimate solution to the heat dissipation problem in the electronics industry".

Features & Benefits

1. Ultra-high Thermal Conductivity Performance

The thermal conductivity of aluminum nitride is as high as 170-200 W/(m·K), which is 8-10 times that of traditional aluminum oxide ceramic (Al₂O₃). It can quickly conduct the heat generated by electronic components to the heat dissipation system, significantly reducing the chip junction temperature and improving the reliability and lifespan of the equipment.

2. Low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion, Matching Semiconductor Materials

The coefficient of thermal expansion of aluminum nitride (4.5×10⁻⁶/℃) is close to that of semiconductor materials such as silicon (Si) and silicon carbide (SiC), which can greatly reduce the risk of stress cracking during thermal cycling and is suitable for high-temperature and high-power scenarios.

3. Excellent Electrical Insulation and High-frequency Performance

Aluminum nitride has a low dielectric constant (8.8-9.5) and low dielectric loss (<0.001), which can effectively reduce signal delay and energy loss during high-frequency signal transmission, making it an ideal choice for high-frequency devices such as 5G base stations and millimeter-wave radars.

4. High Mechanical Strength and Corrosion Resistance

Aluminum nitride ceramic has high hardness and strong chemical stability. The copper cladding processes (such as Direct Bonding of Copper, DBC or Active Metal Brazing, AMB) ensure a tight bond between the copper layer and the substrate. It is resistant to high temperature and corrosion and can be used for a long time in harsh environments.
