SUBSTRATES
Alumina AL2O3
91% to 99.6% (96% typical)
0.010" to 0.100" thick
Area up to 6" x 8"
CO2 Laser processing allows any shape and size.
99.5% Beryllia (BeO)
Thermal conductivity second only to diamond among electrically insulating materials, dissipating nearly 300 W/mK at room temperature
0.015" to 0.080" thick (.025, .040 and .060" typical)
Area up to 4"x 4"
Aluminum Nitride (AlN)
0.020" to 0.040" thick (.025 and .040" typical)
Area up to 4.500" x 4.500"
Conducts heat almost as well as BeO, with lower toxicity
