  • Patent number: 10037837
    Abstract: In this resistor, a heat sink (Al member) (23) and the other surface (11b) of a ceramic substrate (11) are joined together using an Al—Si-based brazing filler material. The Al—Si-based brazing filler material has a melting point in a range of approximately 600° C. to 700° C. When the heat sink (23) and the ceramic substrate (11) are joined together using the Al—Si-based brazing filler material, it is possible to prevent the derogation of the heat resistance and thermal deterioration during joining at the same time.
