Aluminium nitride is a technical ceramic with interesting properties that finds extensive use within the electronics industry. The thermal conductivity of sintered aluminium nitride is usually in the order of 170-180 W/mK, which is significantly higher than many other technical ceramics. Aluminium nitride can be formed into large shapes and is also readily available as a thin substrate.

Sintered Aluminium Nitride is a fully dense material, which can be produced in a cost effective manner, to complex net shapes. This ceramic material has high thermal conductivity and high electrical resistivity compared to normal aluminium nitride.

Both material has good electrical insulator and can be easily metallised if required. For this reason the material is often used as a heat sink or in other applications where it is desirable to remove heat quickly.
