Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A laminate includes: an insulating substrate; an intermediate layer formed on a surface of the substrate and containing a metal or an alloy as a main component; and a metal film formed of a copper powder having a hydrogen content of 0.002% by mass or less and laminated on the intermediate layer. An interface between the intermediate layer and the metal film is plastically deformed.

1 - 12 . (canceled) 13 . A laminate comprising: an insulating substrate; an intermediate layer formed on a surface of the substrate and containing a metal or an alloy as a main component; and a metal film formed of a copper powder having a hydrogen content of 0.002% by mass or less and laminated on the intermediate layer, wherein an interface between the intermediate layer and the metal film is plastically deformed. 14 . The laminate according to claim 13 , wherein the copper powder has an oxygen content of 0.03% by mass or more and 0.15% by mass or less. 15 . The laminate according to claim 13 , wherein the copper powder has a phosphorus content of 0.002% by mass or more and 0.028% by mass or less. 16 . A laminate comprising: a substrate made of a metal or an alloy; and a metal film formed of a copper powder having a hydrogen content of 0.002% by mass or less and laminated on the substrate, wherein an interface between the substrate and the metal film is plastically deformed. 17 . The laminate according to claim 16 , wherein the copper powder has an oxygen content of 0.03% by mass or more and 0.15% by mass or less. 18 . The laminate according to claim 17 , wherein the copper powder has a phosphorus content of 0.002% by mass or more and 0.028% by mass or less. 19 . A method of manufacturing a laminate, comprising a film formation step of forming a metal film layer on a surface of an insulating substrate having an intermediate layer containing a metal or an alloy as a main component by accelerating a copper powder having a hydrogen content of 0.002% by mass or less together with a gas, and spraying and depositing the copper powder onto a surface of the intermediate layer in a solid phase state. 20 . The method of manufacturing a laminate according to claim 19 , wherein the copper powder has an oxygen content of 0.03% by mass or more and 0.07% by mass or less. 21 . The method of manufacturing a laminate according to claim 19 , comprising a copper powder formation step of forming a copper powder by adding phosphorus or a phosphorus copper base metal to molten copper in an amount of 0.002% by mass or more and 0.028% by mass or less, and atomizing the resulting mixture. 22 . The method of manufacturing a laminate according to claim 21 , wherein the copper powder formation step does not include reduction heat treatment of a copper powder in a hydrogen atmosphere. 23 . The method of manufacturing a laminate according to claim 21 , wherein a copper powder is formed by a water atomizing method in the copper powder formation step. 24 . The method of manufacturing a laminate according to claim 21 , wherein a powderized copper powder is subjected to heat treatment in a vacuum atmosphere in the copper powder formation step. 25 . The method of manufacturing a laminate according to claim 19 , wherein the intermediate layer is formed by brazing a plate-shaped metal or alloy member to the substrate. 26 . A method of manufacturing a laminate, comprising a film formation step of forming a metal film layer on a surface of a substrate made of a metal or an alloy by accelerating a copper powder having a hydrogen content of 0.002% by mass or less together with a gas, and spraying and depositing the copper powder onto a surface of the substrate in a solid phase state. 27 . The method of manufacturing a laminate according to claim 26 , wherein the copper powder has an oxygen content of 0.03% by mass or more and 0.07% by mass or less. 28 . The method of manufacturing a laminate according to claim 26 , comprising a copper powder formation step of forming a copper powder by adding phosphorus or a phosphorus copper base metal to molten copper in an amount of 0.002% by mass or more and 0.028% by mass or less, and atomizing the resulting mixture. 29 . The method of manufacturing a laminate according to claim 28 , wherein the copper powder formation step does not include reduction heat treatment of a copper powder in a hydrogen atmosphere. 30 . The method of manufacturing a laminate according to claim 28 , wherein a copper powder is formed by a water atomizing method in the copper powder formation step. 31 . The method of manufacturing a laminate according to claim 28 , wherein a powderized copper powder is subjected to heat treatment in a vacuum atmosphere in the copper powder formation step.
