Microelectronic Thick Film AlN Pastes By Koartan

Koartan has recently developed a complete system of thick film pastes for use on AlN (Aluminium Nitride). The 796X range of pastes are blendable across the whole series and are completely lead-free. With resistivities from 100 mOhms / square to 3 Ohms/square, these materials offer tight TCR controls and excellent power handling capabilities.

For heaters and other applications where a tight TCR is not required, Koartan offers the 798X series of pastes. With similar resistivities to the 796X series, the 798X series has a TCR of 300ppm +/- 100ppm, suitable for more cost-sensitive products.

Koartan also offers conductive pastes specifically engineered for applications requiring high adhesion to AlN. These materials also come in a range of different resistivities - the 6292 Silver-Palladium paste has a resistivity of 18 - 22 mOhms / square, while the 6122 Silver paste has a resistivity of 3 - 4 mOhms / square.

Finally, to protect the fired circuitry of the sensitive AlN-compatible pastes, Koartan has developed a special overglaze material, 5662. This paste fires at 600 - 650C and prevents the oxidisation of Palladium that normally occurs when firing higher temperature glazes, thereby significantly reducing the resistivity shift from as much as 20% or more, to +/- 1%.
