MARUWA AlN AN-170 Ceramic Substrate – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Number for MARUWA AlN AN-170?

A: Aluminum nitride (AlN) has a single CAS Registry Number: 24304-00-5. MARUWA AN-170 is a high-purity sintered form of this compound, not a chemically modified derivative.


Q2: Is MARUWA AlN AN-170 subject to migration or leaching under humid or aqueous conditions?

A: No significant migration occurs. Fully densified AN-170 exhibits negligible hydrolysis below 200°C and pH 4–10; surface aluminum oxide passivation layer further inhibits ion release in ambient or encapsulated applications.


Q3: How does AN-170 compare to standard Al₂O₃ (alumina) and BeO substrates in thermal performance?

A: AN-170 offers ~10× higher thermal conductivity than 96% alumina (~170 vs. ~17 W/m·K) and ~70% of BeO’s performance (~250 W/m·K), without beryllium toxicity concerns—making it the preferred high-safety, high-performance alternative.


Q4: Does MARUWA AlN AN-170 comply with automotive AEC-Q200 stress test requirements?

A: While the raw substrate itself is not AEC-Q200 certified, it is widely qualified *as part of finished modules* meeting AEC-Q200 Grade 0/1 (−40°C to +150°C) when processed with compatible metallization and assembly methods per customer qualification protocols.
