  • Patent number: 9693456
    Abstract: This substrate includes an insulating substrate having a first surface and a second surface, and a metal layer of a metal plate bonded to the first surface. The insulating substrate has a through hole. The metal layer includes: a bent section that is inserted through the through hole and bulges from the first surface toward the second surface; and outer periphery sections that are positioned around the bent section and are bonded to the first surface. The bent section has a first end and a second end positioned on opposite sides, and is bent with respect to the outer periphery sections at the first end and the second ends. The outer periphery sections are divided into a first outer periphery section and a second outer periphery section, which are respectively continuous with the first end and the second end of the bent section.

  • Publication number: 20150289375
    Abstract: This module includes an insulating substrate having a first surface and a second surface, which are positioned on opposite sides to each other, a first metal layer that is provided on the first surface of the insulating substrate and include a metal plate, a second metal layer provided on the second surface of the insulating substrate, a first circuit board including the insulating substrate, the first metal layer, and the second metal layer, an electronic component joined to the first metal layer, and a positioning portion, which is located on the joint surface between the first metal layer and the electronic component, at which the first metal layer and the electronic component are engaged with each other through a recess-projection relationship. The insulating substrate is located between the second metal layer and a part of the first metal layer where the positioning portion is located.
