  • Publication number: 20160148917
    Abstract: A cooling device for electronic components is a combination of substrate (aluminum nitride substrate—thermoelectric elements—aluminum nitride substrate) and utilizing the temperature difference generated by two top and bottom ends of the cooling device to effectively remove the heat generated by the electronic components. This cooling device not only can effectively reduce temperature of the electronic components, but also store the power generated through its thermoelectric effect.

  • Patent number: 9196508
    Abstract: A three-dimensional integrateds circuit structure includes a first metal circuit substrate, an interposer substrate disposed on the first metal circuit substrate and electrically connected therewith, and at least one semiconductor component disposed on the interposer substrate. The interposer substrate is used to dissipate the heat generated by the operation of the semiconductor components, so as to achieve the objective of increasing the lifespan of the semiconductor components.

  • Patent number: 8920706
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for hot isostatic pressing a substrate. At first, a metal container is provided. Powder is filled in the metal container before the metal container is located in an oven. The metal container is subjected to isostatic pressing that includes heating and pressing. Thus, the metal container shrinks and presses on the powder evenly and turns the powder into a nugget. The metal container is moved out of the oven and broken to release the nugget. A substrate is cut from the nugget. With the hot isostatic pressing, the substrate exhibits only a few flaws and is large, fine, homogenous and strong so that the substrate is not vulnerable to deformation in a high-pressure environment.

  • Patent number: 8646706
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for protecting aluminum nitride from moisture. At first, a mixing apparatus is provided. Aluminum nitride powder, calcium silicate, dodecylamine, a binding agent and an anhydrous solvent are mixed with one another by the mixing apparatus. The mixture is made into grains in a granulating process. The hydrophilism, thermal stability and thermal conductivity of the dodecylamine are used to make the grains moisture-proof and not vulnerable to deterioration. Thus, the stability of the aluminum nitride is improved.

  • Publication number: 20140034948
    Abstract: An LED epitaxial structure includes the first layer thin film and the second layer thin film. The first layer thin film and the second layer thin film are polycrystalline aluminum nitride and single crystal aluminum nitride respectively, which have good thermal conductivity, insulation, mechanical intensity, and chemistry stability. Based on the substrate mentioned above, growing a single crystal gallium nitride on the second layer thin film as the third layer thin film allows the single crystal aluminum nitride and gallium nitride to have good lattice and thermal expansion match, resulting in the promotion of light emitting and thermal conduction efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20130034488
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for removing oxygen from aluminum nitride by carbon. At first, an oven is provided. An aluminum nitride substrate is located in the oven. Nitrogen is introduced into the oven to form an atmosphere of nitrogen. The temperature is increased to the transformation point of the aluminum nitride substrate in the oven. Then, the heating is stopped and quenching is conducted in the oven. Carbon is introduced into the oven in the quenching. Thus, oxygen included in the aluminum nitride substrate reacts with the carbon to produce carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide. The carbon monoxide or carbon is released from the oven as well as the nitrogen. Thus, the aluminum nitride substrate is purified.

  • Publication number: 20130035224
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making an aluminum nitride substrate. At first, aluminum nitride is mixed with a carbonized material. The mixture is made into mixture powder in a granulation process. The mixture powder is sintered at an appropriate temperature so that the carbonized material reacts with oxygen to produce a gaseous carbon compound. The gaseous carbon compound is released, and hence an aluminum nitride substrate is made. Before the making of the aluminum nitride substrate is made, the aluminum nitride powder is mixed with the carbonized material. For the stable heat dispersion of the carbonized material, the heating is even during the sintering. The purity of the aluminum nitride substrate is high, the quality of the aluminum nitride substrate is good, and the size of the aluminum nitride substrate is large. Hence, the yield of the making of the aluminum nitride substrate is high.
