  • Publication number: 20220330447
    Abstract: An electric circuit board includes an insulating substrate, a metal plate, and a brazing material with which the insulating substrate and the metal plate are joined together. The metal plate has a side surface over which recessed portions are scattered. The side surface of the metal plate has lines in regions around the recessed portions. The metal plate is made of copper or a copper alloy. The brazing material has a side surface that is continuous with the side surface of the metal plate. The brazing material is a silver-copper brazing alloy. A ratio of copper on the side surface of the brazing material is higher than a copper component ratio of the silver-copper brazing alloy.

  • Publication number: 20220037226
    Abstract: A power module substrate 10 is provided with: an insulating substrate 1; and a metal sheet 2 that is joined to the insulating substrate 1 via a brazing material 3, wherein regarding the surface roughness, in the thickness direction, of the lateral surface of the metal sheet 2, the surface roughness of a corner 2a farthest from the center of the metal sheet 2 is larger than the surface roughness of plane parts 2b, which bound the corner, in at least a plan view. Also provided is a power module 100 which is formed by mounting an electronic component 40 on this power module substrate 10.

  • Patent number: 11195776
    Abstract: A power module substrate includes an insulating substrate and a metal plate. The metal plate is joined to the insulating substrate with a brazing material in between. As to surface roughness of a lateral surface of the metal plate in a thickness direction, the surface roughness of at least a corner part farthest from a center of the metal plate in plan view is larger than the surface roughness of plane parts sandwiching the corner part.

  • Patent number: 9842971
    Abstract: There is provided an electronic component mounting substrate which excels in resistance to migration, and is thus capable of maintaining high thermal conductivity and insulation performance for a long period of time. An electronic component mounting substrate includes: a metallic substrate formed of aluminum or an aluminum-based alloy; an alumite layer disposed on the metallic substrate, having a network of crevices at an upper surface thereof; and a ceramic layer disposed on the alumite layer, part of the ceramic layer extending into the crevices.
