    The official AMB page describes substrates made from silicon-nitride ceramic and thick copper for high-power modules.

    This describes product uses and material structures. It does not establish the initial thermal-resistance bottleneck or improvement for this sample. Confirm actual thicknesses, bonds, thermal boundaries and engineering batch quantities.

    The official information lists AlN substrate thermal properties, insulation and power-module applications.

    Material conductivity data do not establish assembled Rth. Specify ceramic grade, temperature dependence, metallization, thickness, interfaces and cooling boundaries.
