CeramTec CeramCool® Alunit® Aluminum Nitride

CeramCool® is a metallized ceramic heat-sink for high power applications demonstrated by high power LED-systems. CeramCool® material characteristics: electrical insulation, high volume resistivity, thermal cycling stability, high breakthrough voltage, no corrosion, and no water intrusion. Benefits of CeramCool®: optimized thermal management, passive cooling, absorption of thermal stress, increased lifetime of die, higher color stability, reduction TCE mismatch, thermal expansion coefficient of semiconductor materials, one system for alignment of sources, simplified system, miniaturization, weight reduction, cost reduction, and high current conductors. CeramCool® can be metallized directly with thick or thin film processes such as conventional ceramic substrates. This makes the complete surface of the heat-sink useable as a circuit carrier while providing reliable electrical insulation. CeramCool® is available from the proven ceramic material Alunit®. This material has a thermal expansion coefficient that is adapted to semi-conductor materials, possesses excellent electrical characteristics and is at the same time corrosion-resistant. CeramCool® is available with or without metallizations.
