Pyrolytic boron nitride is also written as PBN or pyrolytic BN. It is a highly pure ceramic that has high chemical resistance and commendable strength at high temperatures. Boron nitride is a compound made synthetically from boron and nitrogen. This material has good thermal conductivity and is commonly used to make electrical insulators and cutting tools.
PBN is used in crucibles to produce compound semiconductors and molecular-beam epitaxy, which make use of its characteristics. The extent of potential uses of PBN is expanding, and such uses include high functional PG/PBN heaters for semiconductor fields and CIGS based thin film for photovoltaic power generation.
