A packaged electronic structure includes an electronic device, and a package to which the electronic device is affixed. At least a portion of the package is made of a composite material of aluminum nitride dispersed in aluminum. The composite material is preferably prepared by mixing powders of the aluminum nitride and aluminum, and thereafter pressing and sintering the mixture.

Improved fiber reinforced composites having near zero coefficients of thermal expansion are described. The improved composites include reinforcing fibers and matrix material in which gap structures which exist within the composite are filled with a bonding agent. The reinforcing fibers can be unidirectionally, bidirectionally or multidirectionally oriented within the matrix material and articles fabricated from the improved composite have reduced coefficients of thermal expansion in directions transverse to the orientations of the fibers. This improvement makes these improved composites useful for fabricating high energy laser mirror substrates.
