  • Publication number: 20040026482
    Abstract: In a process for the manufacture of metal-ceramic compound material, especially metal-ceramic substrates, bonding components in the form of a plate-shaped ceramic substrate and an oxidized metal foil are bonded together by means of heating to a processing temperature in a protective gas atmosphere. For this purpose, the bonding components are placed in a reaction space formed within a capsule, which (space) is separated from the outer protective gas atmosphere by the capsule or in connection with the outer protective gas atmosphere only by means of a small opening.

  • Patent number: 6386278
    Abstract: A cooler has a plurality of layers arranged in a stack and connected to one another along their surfaces. Each layer has openings allowing for three-dimensional flow of the coolant between an intake and an outlet. The flow resistance or the gradient of flow resistance increases from the intake to the outlet so that the coolant is increasingly forced to concentrate at the cooling surface as coolant flows from the intake to the outlet.

  • Patent number: 6014312
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cooler for use as a heat sink for electrical components or circuits consisting of several cooler layers which are joined flat to one another, which are stacked on top of one another, which form between channels through which coolant flows and which each discharge into at least one first collection space for supply of the coolant and into a second collection space for draining the coolant, the collection spaces being formed by openings in the cooler layers and the cooling channels by structuring at least one area of the coolant layers with openings, the area being between the openings.

  • Patent number: 5987893
    Abstract: A microcooler with channels through which coolant flows. The channels are formed by individual cooler layers having a region which is structured in the manner of a screen and having a plurality of openings with edge lines closed and with material bridges or material regions remaining between these openings. None of the openings on any of the cooler layers form a continuous channel which extends from a collection space for feed of the coolant to a collection space for drainage of the coolant. The individual breaches, and the material bridges or material regions, provided between them are offset from cooler layer to cooler layer such that flow of the coolant through the cooler is possible only with continuous changing of the layers. Using the breaches within the cooler results in a highly branched labyrinth through which coolant flows.

  • Patent number: 5924191
    Abstract: A method of producing a ceramic-metal substrate, in which a cooper foil is superficially attached on at least one surface side of a ceramic layer a first metal layer formed by a metal foil, preferably a copper foil. The ceramic layer is then slit after applying the first metal layer, by removing the material of the ceramic layer down to first metal layer. At least one slit at a time is then made in the ceramic layer along at least two edges of the ceramic layer and at a distance from these edges, and extends over the entire length of the edge so that on either side of each slit there is a first ceramic layer section which has the respective adjacent edge and another ceramic layer section. The width of the slit is at least equal to twice the thickness of the ceramic layer. The metal layer is bent 180.degree.
