Abstract Aluminum nitride (AlN), a versatile ceramic with high thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, and coefficient of expansion compatible silicon, is well‐suited for direct‐to‐chip cooling applications electronics, implementation in wide bandgap semiconductors, high‐temperature heat exchangers. Despite multiple advantages, AlN's liquid‐cooling often hindered by surface‐degrading effects working‐fluid‐induced hydrolysis. Herein, scalable ‐but highly tunable‐ wettability engineering approach introduced, that allows effective bulk AlN substrates enhanced two‐phase electronics. The prevents hydrolysis aqueous media establishes control over surface roughness, all the while maintaining integrity material properties underlying substrate. Demonstration new presented spontaneous, pumpless, liquid transport, necessity if such ceramics are to play an integral role as components sealed, phase‐change, wickless thermal‐management devices (e.g., vapor chambers or pipes) require rapid working‐fluid transport their multi‐phase interior. novelty this work lies establishing methodology utilizing further enhancing non‐oxide phase‐change heat‐transfer hermetic devices, thereby paving way toward intriguing next‐generation spreaders.
