Alumina Ribbon Ceramic is a thin, flexible substrate that has a smoother native surface with fewer defects than commercially available thin ceramic sheets. Alumina Ribbon Ceramic conducts heat efficiently and is an excellent electrical insulator even at high temperatures.
Early-stage developments put Corning in a promising position to create a new generation of energy storage technology.
Presented at the 32nd Electronics Packaging Symposium - a demonstration of small system integration of ultra-miniaturized, high-performance 5G mmWave filters (<1.3dB) for 28 and 39GHz on Alumina Ribbon Ceramic through collaboration with the Georgia Institute of Technology 3D Systems Packaging Research Center.
In this paper, we report a thermally stable (upwards of 1300C), antioxidation and anticorrosion-printed Cu-graphene conductor on Alumina Ribbon Ceramic. High temperature stability from in-situ graphene conversion for copper and graphene interfaces and preferential stacking of copper nanoplates, distinctly suited for emerging high-temperature flexible electronics. This is a collaboration work with University at Buffalo, the State University of New York.

In this paper, electrical properties of the newly developed 40 mm thick Alumina Ribbon Ceramic substrate were characterized in the frequency band of 30-170 GHz using the microstrip ring resonator (MRR) method as well as insertion loss on both microstrip and CPW transmission lines structured for potential applications in 5G and 6G frequencies. This is a collaboration work with the Georgia Institute of Technology 3D Systems Packaging Research Center

Introducing ceramics as you’ve never seen them before – thin, flexible, durable, and available in large area, continuous format.
Introducing ceramics in an entirely new form factor – thin, narrow, flexible strands of high purity Alumina Ribbon Ceramic.
Watch this real-time demonstration using an infrared camera to witness the high heat dissipation and high thermal shock tolerance of Corning’s Alumina Ribbon Ceramic material. The thinness and flexibility of Alumina Ribbon Ceramic enable it to bend, but not break when exposed to high temperature gradients. Therefore, the material can undergo rapid thermal shock and be run through high temperature processes at fast speeds without mechanical failure.
