Abstract

In a step (a), a guard ring is disposed on a ceramic substrate (a second member) such that one of openings of a through hole of the guard ring is covered with a joint surface of the ceramic substrate. In a step (b), a brazing material made of a metal, a powder made of a material having a smaller thermal expansion coefficient than the brazing material, and a feeding terminal are inserted into the through hole. In a step (c), the brazing material is fused to impregnate the powder with the brazing material to thereby form a joint layer including the brazing material and the powder. In this manner, the joint surface and the joint surface are joined to each other through the joint layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for manufacturing a joined body in which a joint surface of a first member made of a ceramic and a joint surface of a second member made of a metal are joined to each other through a joint layer, the second member comprises a vent hole including a first opening on the joint surface of the second member and a second opening in communication with the first opening, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) disposing an insertion jig having a through hole into which the second member is insertable on the first member such that one of openings of the through hole is covered with the joint surface of the first member;
(b) disposing, inside the through hole, a brazing material including a metal having a larger thermal expansion coefficient than the first member, a powder of a material having a smaller thermal expansion coefficient than the brazing material, and the second member; and
(c) fusing the brazing material to impregnate the powder with the brazing material to thereby form a joint layer including the brazing material and the powder, whereby the joint surface of the first member and the joint surface of the second member are joined to each other through the joint layer.

2. The method for manufacturing a joined body according to claim 1 ,
wherein in the step (b), a clearance is 1 mm or less, the clearance being the difference between the inner diameter of the through hole and the outer diameter of a side surface of the second member that is a surface thereof facing the inner circumferential surface of the through hole.

3. The method for manufacturing a joined body according to claim 1 ,
wherein the insertion jig includes carbon.

4. The method for manufacturing a joined body according to claim 1 ,
wherein the powder is made of the same ceramic material as the first member.

5. The method for manufacturing a joined body according to claim 1 ,
wherein in the step (b), at least one of (i) the joint surface of the first member is coated in advance with a material having higher wettability to the brazing material than the joint surface of the first member, (ii) the joint surface of the second member is coated in advance with a material having higher wettability to the brazing material than the joint surface of the second member, and (iii) the powder is coated in advance with a material having higher wettability to the brazing material than the powder.

6. The method for manufacturing a joined body according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first member does not have a portion rising from the joint surface thereof.
