  • Publication number: 20220039264
    Abstract: A bonded substrate includes a substrate, a metal plate forming a stacked state with the substrate, and bonding member. The metal plate has a first surface on the substrate side and a second surface opposite; wherein an edge of the first surface is located outside an edge of the second. The bonding member is disposed between the substrate and plate to bond the plate and substrate, and protrudes from the edge over an entire periphery of the plate. In cut surfaces obtained by cutting the bonded substrate, a peripheral surface length (A) from a portion corresponding to a peripheral edge of the first surface to a corresponding portion of the second, protrusion length of the bonding member, and thickness (C) of the metal plate satisfy first and second expressions. 0.032?B/(A+B)?0.400??(First Expression) 0.5 (mm)?C?2.
