High Thermal Conductivity Silicon Nitride

Goodfellow can now offer high thermal conductivity Silicon Nitride. This material is ideal for specialist applications, and offers several benefits.

  • High thermal conductivity of 100W/mK. Which is 4X higher than standard Silicon Nitride. 
  • High fracture toughness. 
  • Can be polished to a surface roughness of Ra = 0.02um.  
  • Excellent mechanical properties.
