High-Purity Alumina Ceramic Substrates for Thermoelectric Applications

Product Features & Advantages

Exceptional Electrical Insulation

Our alumina substrates provide outstanding electrical insulation with volume resistivity exceeding 10¹⁴ Ω·cm, ensuring complete electrical isolation between thermoelectric elements and preventing current leakage that could compromise module efficiency.

Optimized Thermal Management

With thermal conductivity ranging from 20-30 W/m·K, our substrates efficiently transfer heat to and from thermoelectric elements while maintaining temperature gradients essential for effective thermoelectric conversion.

Matched Thermal Expansion

The coefficient of thermal expansion (7.2-8.4 × 10⁻⁶/°C) is carefully engineered to match common thermoelectric materials, minimizing thermal stress and preventing delamination or cracking during temperature cycling.

High Mechanical Strength

Exceptional flexural strength (>300 MPa) and compressive strength (>2000 MPa) provide robust mechanical support for fragile thermoelectric elements, ensuring module integrity under operational stresses.

Chemical Stability

Highly resistant to chemical attack and oxidation, our substrates maintain performance in harsh environments and at elevated temperatures where organic insulators would degrade.

Precision Manufacturing

Advanced manufacturing techniques ensure precise dimensional control and surface flatness, critical for maintaining uniform contact pressure across all thermoelectric elements in the module.

Frequently Asked Questions

What purity level of alumina is optimal for thermoelectric applications?

For most thermoelectric applications, 96% alumina provides an excellent balance of performance and cost-effectiveness. However, for applications requiring maximum thermal conductivity or operating at very high temperatures, our 99.6 alumina ceramic substrate offers enhanced performance despite the higher cost.

Can you provide substrates with pre-applied electrode patterns?

Yes, we offer comprehensive metallization ceramics services including screen printing of various conductor materials (silver, gold, platinum) as well as thin-film deposition techniques for finer feature resolution. Our engineering team can help select the optimal metallization approach for your specific application.

How does the thermal expansion matching benefit thermoelectric modules?

Matching the coefficient of thermal expansion between the substrate and thermoelectric materials minimizes stress during temperature cycling, preventing delamination, cracking, or performance degradation over time. This is particularly important in applications with frequent thermal cycling.

What is the maximum operating temperature for your alumina substrates?

Our standard alumina substrates can operate continuously at temperatures up to 1600°C, with short-term excursions to higher temperatures possible. For applications requiring operation above 1600°C, we can provide specialized formulations with enhanced high-temperature stability.

Do you offer alternatives to alumina for specialized applications?

Yes, we also manufacture aluminum nitride ceramics which offer significantly higher thermal conductivity (150-180 W/m·K) for applications where heat transfer is the primary concern. However, AlN is more expensive and may not be necessary for all thermoelectric applications.

Can you produce large-format substrates for high-power thermoelectric modules?

Absolutely. We specialize in large-format substrates up to 240×280mm, which are ideal for high-power thermoelectric generators. Our proprietary manufacturing techniques ensure minimal warpage and consistent properties across even the largest substrate areas.
