Hexagonal Boron Nitride

Hexagonal Boron Nitride is a two-dimensional van der Waals material composed of boron and nitrogen atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice structure, distinguished by its wide bandgap, exceptional thermal stability, and electrical insulation properties, making it a key dielectric substrate and encapsulation layer in two-dimensional semiconductor devices.
