Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is a provided a copper-ceramic bonded body in which a copper member formed of copper or a copper alloy and a ceramic member formed of nitride ceramic are bonded to each other, in which an active element oxide layer containing an active element and oxygen is formed at bonding interfaces between the copper member and the ceramic member, and a thickness t of the active element oxide layer is in a range of 5 nm to 220 nm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A copper-ceramic bonded body comprising: a copper member formed of copper or a copper alloy; and a ceramic member formed of nitride ceramic, wherein the copper member and the ceramic member are bonded to each other, an active element oxide layer containing an active element and oxygen is formed at bonding interfaces between the copper member and the ceramic member, and a thickness of the active element oxide layer is in a range of 5 nm to 200 nm. 2 . The copper-ceramic bonded body according to claim 1 , wherein the active element oxide layer contains P. 3 . The copper-ceramic bonded body according to claim 1 , wherein a Cu—Al eutectic layer is formed between the active element oxide layer and the copper member. 4 . A power module substrate configured with the copper-ceramic bonded body according to claim 1 , wherein in the copper-ceramic bonded body, a copper plate formed of copper or a copper alloy is bonded to a surface of a ceramic substrate formed of nitride ceramic. 5 . A copper-ceramic bonded body comprising: a copper member formed of copper or a copper alloy; and a ceramic member formed of alumina wherein, the copper member and the ceramic member are bonded to each other, an active element oxide layer containing an active element, oxygen, and phosphorous is formed at bonding interfaces between the copper member and the ceramic member, and a thickness of the active element oxide layer is in a range of 5 nm to 220 nm. 6 . The copper-ceramic bonded body according to claim 5 , wherein the phosphorous concentration of the active element oxide layer is in a range of 1.5 mass % to 10 mass %. 7 . A power module substrate configured with the copper-ceramic bonded body according to claim 5 , wherein in the copper-ceramic bonded body, a copper plate formed of copper or a copper alloy is bonded to a surface of a ceramic substrate formed of alumina.
