High Thermal Conductive and Moisture Resistance AlN Filler

Our brand-new Aluminum Nitride (AlN) filler has been successfully developed in the market in addition to our existing product portfolios of Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) and Boron Nitride (BN) fillers. We also offer fillers that have excellent insulation reliability. The higher thermal conductivity helps customers for downsizing and weight reduction of power modules.

New AlN filler has excellent moisture resistance

AlN has high thermal conductivity while it is easily decomposed by moisture and generates corrosive NH3 gas. We have developed new AlN filler with excellent moisture resistance by applying original thin-layer surface treatment that prevents the chemical reaction with moisture, and it maintains its original high thermal conductivity. Our AlN filler contributes to reliability and longer life of power module with only a few of NH3 generation by 1/10,000. The higher thermal conductivity helps customers for downsizing and weight reduction of power module.
