First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A joined body comprising: a first member which is an exothermic body; a second member; a third member; a first joining layer which joins the first member and the second member together, is a sintered body of metal particles, and has a pore; and a second joining layer which joins the second member and the third member together, is a sintered body of metal particles, and has a pore, wherein a porosity of the first joining layer is lower than a porosity of the second joining layer. 2. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between a thermal expansion coefficient of the first member and a thermal expansion coefficient of the second member is less than a difference between the thermal expansion coefficient of the second member and a thermal expansion coefficient of the third member. 3. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the second joining layer is thicker than the first joining layer. 4. The joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the porosity of the first joining layer is greater than or equal to 5 volume % and less than or equal to 30 volume %, and the porosity of the second joining layer is greater than or equal to 20 volume % and less than or equal to 40 volume %. 5. An electronic device comprising: the joined body according to claim 1 , wherein the first member is a semiconductor light emitting element, an electric circuit, or a power semiconductor element. 6. An electronic device comprising: the joined body according to claim 2 , wherein the first member is a semiconductor light emitting element, an electric circuit, or a power semiconductor element. 7. An electronic device comprising: the joined body according to claim 3 , wherein the first member is a semiconductor light emitting element, an electric circuit, or a power semiconductor element. 8. An electronic device comprising: the joined body according to claim 4 , wherein the first member is a semiconductor light emitting element, an electric circuit, or a power semiconductor element. 9. A projector comprising: a light emitting device including the joined body according to claim 1 , in which the first member is a semiconductor light emitting element; a light modulating unit which modulates light exiting from the light emitting device according to image information; and a projecting unit which projects an image formed by the light modulating unit. 10. A projector comprising: a light emitting device including the joined body according to claim 2 , in which the first member is a semiconductor light emitting element; a light modulating unit which modulates light exiting from the light emitting device according to image information; and a projecting unit which projects an image formed by the light modulating unit. 11. A projector comprising: a light emitting device including the joined body according to claim 3 , in which the first member is a semiconductor light emitting element; a light modulating unit which modulates light exiting from the light emitting device according to image information; and a projecting unit which projects an image formed by the light modulating unit. 12. A projector comprising: a light emitting device including the joined body according to claim 4 , in which the first member is a semiconductor light emitting element; a light modulating unit which modulates light exiting from the light emitting device according to image information; and a projecting unit which projects an image formed by the light modulating unit. 13. A manufacturing method of a joined body comprising: a first calcining step of arranging a first metal paste containing metal particles between a first member, which is an exothermic body, and a second member, and of calcining the first metal paste by heating; and a second calcining step of arranging a second metal paste containing metal particles between the second member and the third member, and of simultaneously calcining the first metal paste and the second metal paste by heating, wherein a porosity of a sintered body of the first metal paste is lower than a porosity of a sintered body of the second metal paste. 14. The manufacturing method of a joined body according to claim 13 , wherein a calcining temperature of the second calcining step is lower than a calcining temperature of the first calcining step. 15. The manufacturing method of a joined body according to claim 13 , wherein a calcining time of the second calcining step is shorter than a calcining time of the first calcining step.
