BC0969 Beryllium Oxide Ceramic Crucible, BeO

Beryllium Oxide Ceramic Crucibles Description

Beryllium oxide ceramic crucibles are produced from high-purity beryllium oxide ceramics. Beryllium oxide, also known as beryllia, is a ceramic material that exhibits high thermal conductivity, which can be comparable to that of the most conductive metals, while its electrical insulation is equivalent to that of aluminium oxide and other established electrical insulators. BeO crucibles provide a combination of thermal, dielectric and mechanical properties that meets the requirements for electronic applications.

Beryllium Oxide Ceramic Crucible Applications

Beryllium oxide ceramic is an appropriate material for many high-performance semiconductor devices, for example in radio frequency equipment. Beryllium oxide ceramic crucibles are used as a filler in certain thermal interface materials, such as thermal paste. In some power semiconductor devices, beryllium oxide ceramic is placed between the silicon chip and the metal housing of the enclosure to achieve a lower thermal resistance compared with a similar construction made of aluminium oxide. It is also employed as a structural ceramic for high-performance microwave devices, vacuum tubes, magnetrons and gas lasers.

Beryllium Oxide Ceramic Crucible FAQs

1. What are the alternatives to beryllium oxide ceramic crucibles?

Aluminium Oxide Crucibles are a common alternative to beryllium oxide crucibles. Although aluminium oxide crucibles do not offer the same thermal conductivity as beryllium oxide, they are generally considered to be safer to handle and can be more cost effective.

2. What is the difference between beryllium oxide crucibles and aluminium oxide crucibles?

Beryllium oxide crucibles exhibit a substantially higher thermal conductivity in comparison with aluminium oxide crucibles. Both beryllium oxide and aluminium oxide crucibles provide excellent chemical resistance to numerous corrosive substances at elevated temperatures.
