Surmet Corporation of Burlington, MA, now in its 30th year of successful operations, announces the expansion of its Aluminum Nitride (AlN) manufacturing operations in Buffalo, NY. This strategic move is in response to the significant growth in Global demand for thermal management packaging in the Green-Tech device industry.
High Brightness LED outdoor lighting products require efficient heat removal to assure peak performance and long life. While alumina is sufficient for low power levels, higher power levels will necessitate the use of AlN because of its unusual and desirable combination of high dielectric strength and high thermal conductivity.
AlN is 8 to 10 times more thermally conductive than alumina, and its conductivity will not deteriorate with rising temperatures. With a relatively low thermal expansion coefficient, AlN structures meet thermo-mechanical requirements for many electronic and device components.
With over 75,000 square feet of manufacturing and R&D space, Surmet’s Buffalo facility has been a leading supplier of high purity Aluminum Nitride to international customers for over 20 years.
