Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power module substrate with a heatsink includes: a power module substrate provided with a ceramic substrate, a circuit layer and a metal layer; and a heatsink bonded to the metal layer via a solder layer and composed of copper or a copper alloy. The metal layer is formed by bonding an aluminum plate in which the content of Al is 99.0 to 99.85% by mass to the ceramic substrate, and the solder layer is formed of a solid-solubilized-hardening type solder material including Sn as a major component and a solid-solubilized element being solid-solubilized into a matrix of Sn.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A power module substrate with a heatsink comprises: a power module substrate including a ceramic substrate, a circuit layer arranged on a surface of the ceramic substrate, and a metal layer arranged on the other surface of the ceramic substrate and formed of aluminum; and a heatsink composed of copper or a copper alloy bonded to the other surface side of the metal layer via a solder layer, wherein the metal layer is formed by bonding an aluminum plate in which the content of Al is 99.0 to 99.85% by mass to the ceramic substrate, and the solder layer is formed of a solid-solubilized-hardening type solder material including Sn as a major component and a solid-solubilized element being solid-solubilized into a matrix of Sn. 2 . The power module substrate with the heatsink according to claim 1 , wherein the solder layer is formed of a solder material containing Sb as the solid-solubilized element. 3 . The power module substrate with the heatsink according to claim 1 , wherein the heatsink is composed of copper or a copper alloy having a tensile strength of 250 MPa or more. 4 . A power module substrate with a cooler comprising: the power module substrate with the heatsink according to claim 1 ; and a cooler laminated on the other surface side of the heatsink. 5 . A power module comprises: the power module substrate with the heatsink according to claim 1 ; and electronic parts mounted on the power module substrate with the heatsink. 6 . The power module substrate with the heatsink according to claim 2 , wherein the heatsink is composed of copper or a copper alloy having a tensile strength of 250 MPa or more.
