Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A composite material includes a continuous phase and a silicon carbide filler. The continuous phase is made of a metal or a synthetic resin. The silicon carbide filler is dispersed in the continuous phase and includes dendritic crystals having a circularity in a cross-sectional view of less than 0.206. A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element and a bonded member formed from the composite material into a plate shape or a layer shape and bonded to the semiconductor element.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A silicon carbide filler comprising dendric crystals having a circularity in cross-sectional view of less than 0.206. 2 . The silicon carbide filler according to claim 1 , wherein the dendric crystals have one or more crystal polytypes selected from a group consisting of 3C, 4H, 6H, and 15R. 3 . The silicon carbide filler according to claim 1 , wherein the dendric crystals have a particle size in a range from 10 to 100 μm. 4 . The silicon carbide filler according to claim 1 , wherein an average value of the circularity of the dendric crystals is 0.20 or less. 5 . A composite material comprising: a continuous phase made of a metal or a synthetic resin; and a silicon carbide filler dispersed in the continuous phase and including dendritic crystals having a circularity in a cross-sectional view of less than 0.206. 6 . The composite material according to claim 5 , further comprising an additional filler different from the silicon carbide filler. 7 . The composite material according to claim 6 , wherein the additional filler has a spherical shape. 8 . A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor element; and a bonded member formed from a composite material into a plate shape or a layer shape and bonded to the semiconductor element, wherein the composite material includes: a continuous phase made of a metal or a synthetic resin; and a silicon carbide filler dispersed in the continuous phase and including dendritic crystals having a circularity in a cross-sectional view of less than 0.206.
