Pyrolytic Boron Nitride Disc, PBN Disc

Pyrolytic Boron Nitride (PBN) Disc and other pyrolytic boron nitride products are synthesized on the mold by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, with BCl3 and NH3 at high temperature and low pressure. PBN products are extremely pure, as the purity of gas material is easier to be controlled. Typically, PBN products have a total impurity of <100 ppm, which means the purity is no less than 99.99%. With such a high purity level, PBN discs are ideal products for semiconductor industries & vacuum systems.

With its high density and purity, PBN is becoming a widely used material in vacuum processes. The CVD process gives this pyrolytic boron nitride an almost perfect layered structure, which leads to anisotropic thermal conductivity, making it an ideal material to make components for furnace & vacuum systems.

Due to the CVD process, the thickness of PBN products is usually <5mm. The pyrolytic boron nitride disc Edgetech could supply, are cut into 1mm, 2mm, or 3mm thick PBN discs with about 10~14″ diameter. The dimensions of raw PBN blank were limited by equipment, but the finished highly customized shape can be got from it at a competitive cost.
