ALUMINUM NITRIDE

 

Oasis Materials Corporation produces and processes various AlN metallized substrates for the electronics industry. Using a multi-layer co-fired process, Oasis metallizes AlN with Tungsten traces and vias to achieve a chemically bonded multi-layer electronic circuit.

 

Applications include electronic packaging, heaters with embedded resistance layers, and charged coupled devises (CCD) detectors.
