Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A ceramic/metal composite structure includes an aluminum oxide substrate, an interface bonding layer and a copper sheet. The interface bonding layer is disposed on the aluminum oxide substrate. The copper sheet is disposed on the interface bonding layer. The interface bonding layer bonds the aluminum oxide substrate to the copper sheet. Some pores are formed near or in the interface bonding layer. A porosity of the interface bonding layer is substantially smaller than or equal to 25%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A ceramic/metal composite structure, comprising: an aluminum oxide substrate; an interface bonding layer directly disposed on the aluminum oxide substrate; and a copper sheet directly disposed on the interface bonding layer and entirely separated from the aluminum oxide substrate by the interface bonding layer, wherein the interface bonding layer directly bonds the aluminum oxide substrate to the copper sheet and has a plurality of pores, and a porosity of the interface bonding layer is substantially smaller than or equal to 25% and substantially greater than or equal to 1%. 2. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the aluminum oxide substrate is polycrystalline 96% aluminum oxide. 3. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the aluminum oxide substrate is sapphire. 4. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the interface bonding layer is a copper-nickel-phosphorus alloy. 5. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the interface bonding layer is a copper-nickel-boron alloy. 6. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein the porosity of the interface bonding layer is substantially smaller than or equal to 10%. 7. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein the porosity of the interface bonding layer is substantially smaller than or equal to 6%. 8. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein the interface bonding layer is interposed between the aluminum oxide substrate and the copper sheet. 9. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum oxide substrate is separated from the copper sheet by the interface bonding layer. 10. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein an interface surface between the copper sheet and the interface bonding layer and an interface surface between the interface bonding layer and the aluminum oxide substrate extend in substantially the same direction. 11. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein the aluminum oxide substrate, the interface bonding layer and the copper sheet are stacked in order. 12. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein the porosity of the interface bonding layer is substantially greater than or equal to 2%. 13. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein the porosity of the interface bonding layer is substantially greater than or equal to 6%. 14. The ceramic/metal composite structure according to claim 1 , wherein the porosity of the interface bonding layer is substantially greater than or equal to 9%.
