Aluminum Nitride (AlN) has flexural strength of 300MPa, similar to alumina, thermal conductivity of 170~200W/mK, 10 times higher than alumina, and coefficient of thermal expansion of 4.2ppm/℃, similar to silicon.
Such unique properties are increasing its application to the thermal emission substrates of power module, illuminators requiring high output of over 8W, and automobile head lamps
