Pyrolytic Boron Nitride (PBN) Technical Ceramics

PBN is high purity (99.995%) technical ceramic, manufactured by Vital Materials, deposited into free-standing shapes (crucibles) and coatings on graphite using a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process. Crystal structure of this non-toxic ceramic is such that it exhibits a high degree of thermal anisotropy favorable for crystal growth and other applications.

Features:

• High purity and chemical stability
• High dielectric strength
• Non-porous and low outgassing in ultra-high vacuum (UHV)
• Excellent thermal shock resistance
• Non toxic
• Easily machined

Applications Include:

• Crystal growth - VGF, VB/HB, LEC crucibles
• MBE – crucibles and components
• Photovoltaic (CIGS) – boat and components
• MOCVD (HB-LED) – heater components
• OLED – crucibles
• Electrical – high temperature isolation
