  • Publication number: 20240113008
    Abstract: A wiring substrate includes a first ceramic layer and a second ceramic layer. A plurality of wiring traces which are electrically independent of one another are provided between the first ceramic layer and the second ceramic layer. Each wiring trace has a protruding portion which protrudes onto the first ceramic layer surrounded by the second ceramic layer when viewed from above. An insulating coat is provided to cover a portion of a concave corner formed by the second ceramic layer and the first ceramic layer.

  • Publication number: 20240114629
    Abstract: A wiring substrate (1) includes an insulating substrate (11), a surface metal layer provided on a surface of the insulating substrate (11), and a wiring layer disposed in an inner part of the insulating substrate (11). The surface metal layer (for example, a lead wiring portion (52)) is divided by a groove (61). The wiring layer (for example, an internal wiring trace (32)) is disposed in such a manner that, as viewed from above, the wiring layer detours around a region where the groove (61) is formed so as not to overlap with the region where the groove (61) is formed.

  • Patent number: 10039179
    Abstract: A wiring substrate includes: a substrate body made from ceramic, having a front surface and a rear surface, and having a through hole penetrating between the front surface and the rear surface; and a heatsink inserted into the through hole. A step portion protruding in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the through hole, is formed over an entire periphery on an inner wall surface of the through hole of the substrate body. A flange opposed to the step portion is provided so as to protrude, over an entire periphery on a side surface of the heatsink. A stress relaxing ring is arranged over an entire periphery between the step portion and a joining surface opposed to the step portion. A brazing material is provided between the ring, and the joining surface and the step portion.
