CoorsTek Introduces PlasmaPure-UC™ Ultra-Pure Alumina

CoorsTek Inc has officially released its newest ultra-high purity ceramic material designed specifically for extreme duty semiconductor applications.

In addition to the material's exceptionally high purity, PlasmaPure-UC™ alumina offers high etch resistance in corrosive chemistries, very low sodium content and an extremely low dielectric loss tangent of <0.00002. The fine-grained material also boasts four times better corrosion resistance and six times lower sodium content than competitive alumina materials, said the company on launch.

"Outstanding material property data and very positive customer trials have proven the material quite effective at extending component life and greatly reducing contamination," said Mark Petty, Executive Vice President of CoorsTek Inc. "This material is an excellent example of the advanced capabilities offered by our Specialty Materials Center, announced last year."

CoorsTek is the largest technical ceramics manufacturer in North America and has facilities in Europe and Asia. From over 20 state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, CoorsTek supplies critical components and assemblies for medical, automotive, semiconductor, aerospace, electronic, power generation, telecommunication and other high technology applications. Using advanced material technologies, the company's engineered solutions enable its customers' products to overcome technological barriers and improve performance.
