Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power module substrate of the present invention includes a ceramic substrate and a circuit layer having a circuit pattern. In an interface between the circuit layer and the ceramic substrate, a Cu—Sn layer and a Ti-containing layer are laminated in this order from the ceramic substrate side. In a cross-sectional shape of an end portion of the circuit pattern of the circuit layer, an angle θ formed between a surface of the ceramic substrate and an end face of the Cu—Sn layer is set in a range equal to or greater than 80° and equal to or smaller than 100°, and a maximum protrusion length L of the Cu—Sn layer or the Ti-containing layer from an end face of the circuit layer is set in a range equal to or greater than 2μm and equal to or smaller than 15 μm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A power module substrate comprising: a ceramic substrate; and a circuit layer which is formed on one surface of the ceramic substrate and has a circuit pattern, wherein the circuit layer is made of Cu or a Cu alloy, in an interface between the circuit layer and the ceramic substrate, a Cu—Sn layer in which Sn forms a solid solution in Cu and a Ti-containing layer containing Ti are laminated in this order from the ceramic substrate side, and in a cross-sectional shape of an end portion of the circuit pattern of the circuit layer, an angle θ formed between a surface of the ceramic substrate and an end face of the Cu—Sn layer is set in a range equal to or greater than 80° and equal to or smaller than 100°, and a maximum protrusion length L of the Cu—Sn layer or the Ti-containing layer from an end face of the circuit layer is set in a range equal to or greater than 2 μm and equal to or smaller than 15 μm. 2 . The power module substrate according to claim 1 , wherein in the cross-sectional shape of the end portion of the circuit pattern of the circuit layer, an end face of the Ti-containing layer is positioned on an extended plane of the end face of the Cu—Sn layer.
