1. 96% Alumina (Al2O3) is one of the most popular ceramic substrate materials because of its excellent heat resistance , high mechanical strength , abrasion resistance , and small dielectric loss . The surface of the alumina ceramic substrate is quite smooth and has a low porosity.
2. 96% Alumina substrates are suitable for
thick film applications
like hybrid PCB and component substrates or it can be used in
direct plated copper
sputtering.
3. Thanks to its adequate thermal conductivity, it can also be used as a
heat spreader
at the back of a PCB. It is also suitable for usage in
high power and high-frequency applications
because of dielectric properties.
