  • Patent number: 8414704
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bonding structure, including: a ceramic member including a hole; a terminal embedded in the ceramic member, an exposed surface exposed to a bottom portion of the hole, and made of a refractory metal having a thermal expansion coefficient substantially equal to a thermal expansion coefficient of the ceramic member; a brazed bond layer including a first tantalum layer in contact with the exposed surface of the terminal, a gold layer formed on the first tantalum layer, and a second tantalum layer formed on the gold layer; and a connecting member inserted in the hole, bonded to the terminal via the brazed bond layer, and made of a refractory metal having a thermal expansion coefficient substantially equal to the thermal expansion coefficient of the ceramic member.

  • Publication number: 20090173449
    Abstract: A bonding structure according to the present invention includes: a ceramic member including a hole; a terminal embedded in the ceramic member and including an exposed surface exposed to a bottom portion of the hole; a brazed bond layer formed in contact with the exposed surface of the terminal; and a connecting member inserted in the hole, and bonded to the terminal via the brazed bond layer. An inner diameter of the hole is larger than an outer diameter of the connecting member. A clearance is formed between the hole and the connecting member when the connecting member is inserted in the hole. A braze pool space is formed in a surface of the hole and has a substantially semicircular shape in a cross-sectional plane. The braze pool space is partially filled with a braze material.

  • Patent number: 6827567
    Abstract: Powder mixture is supplied into a die under a state that a center pin is located lower than the top surface of the die, after which the center pin is lifted up to a given molding position where an annular molding space is defined between the center pin and the die. The powder mixture is then compressed from upper and lower sides with an upper plunger and a lower plunger to form a pellet. The center pin and the lower plunger are simultaneously lifted up to remove the pellet out of the die.
