On each of the upper and lower surfaces of the support substrate, a plurality of recesses are formed at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction. Each of the recesses is a rectangular-parallelepiped-like depression defined by four side walls arranged in a circumferentially closed manner and a bottom wall. That is, in the support substrate, frames are formed to surround the respective recesses. Fuel electrodes of the power-generating elements A are embedded in the respective recesses.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2011Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: NGK Insulators, Ltd.Inventors: Makoto Ohmori, Takashi Ryu, Toshiaki Kuno, Tadashi Otagiri

Patent number: 5138426Abstract: In a ceramic joined body wherein a first metalizing layer formed on a surface of an aluminum nitride member on which semiconductor elements are installed and a second metalizing layer formed on a surface of an insulation substrate fireable at low temperatures are joined with each other via a solder used at high temperatures, an intermediate layer including a predetermined metal component and a predetermined glass component is arranged between the insulation substrate and the second metalizing layer. The glass component is melted into the insulation substrate during the firing operation, and thus a sufficient connection strength between the insulation substrate and the aluminum nitride member can be obtained. Moreover, the metal component and the glass component function to make the thermal expansion coefficient an intermediate value between the insulation substrate and the first metalizing layer, and thus heat stress generated during the brazing operation can be eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 1989Date of Patent: August 11, 1992Assignee: NGK Insulators, Ltd.Inventors: Yuji Umeda, Tadashi Otagiri, Go Suzuki
