hBN How to find the limits of heat conduction and fairness when increasing the charge

Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) is the primary screening material. For practical review of hBN charge level testing, comparing product names or supplier representative figures alone is not sufficient. First, the required functions of the final part or film, acceptable appearance and processing range, and actual test conditions must be defined. Then, candidate materials must be compared under the same base material, thickness, process, and conditioning conditions to obtain meaningful conclusions.
