Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are: an apparatus and a method for producing a (metal plate)-(ceramic board) laminated assembly, a bonding material and a metal plate during the bonding of the metal plate to the ceramic board through the bonding-material layer and an apparatus and a method for producing a power-module substrate. An apparatus for producing a (metal plate)-(ceramic board) laminated assembly by laminating a metal plate having a temporary bonding material formed thereon on a ceramic board having a bonding-material layer formed thereon, the apparatus being equipped with: a conveying device which conveys the metal plate onto the ceramic board to laminate the ceramic board and the metal plate on each other; and a heating device which is arranged in the middle of a passage of the conveyance of the metal plate by the conveying device and melts the temporary-bonding material on the metal plate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing (metal plate)-(ceramic board) laminated assembly wherein a bonding-material layer is formed on one of a ceramic board or a metal plate, temporary-bonding material is formed on one plate of the ceramic board or the metal plate, the ceramic board and the metal plate are temporarily stuck together in a piled state with the bonding-material layer therebetween by the temporary-bonding material, so that the ceramic board and the metal plate are laminated, the method comprising a forming step of the solidified temporary-bonding material on one plate of the ceramic board or the metal plate, and a laminating step comprising the steps of conveying the one plate onto the other plate of the ceramic board or the metal plate, melting the temporary-bonding material on the way of conveying, laminating the ceramic board and the metal plate, in a state in which the temporary-bonding material is melted, and then solidified the temporary-bonding material. 2. The method for producing (metal plate)-(ceramic board) laminated assembly according to claim 1 , wherein in the laminating step, temperature of the temporary-bonding material or the one plate is measured while conveying. 3. The method for producing (metal plate)-(ceramic board) laminated assembly according to claim 1 , wherein after laminating the metal plate and the ceramic board, the temporary-bonding material is cooled. 4. The method for producing (metal plate)-(ceramic board) laminated assembly according to claim 2 , wherein after laminating the metal plate and the ceramic board, the temporary-bonding material is cooled. 5. A method for producing power-module substrate, wherein the ceramic board and the metal plate are bonded by pressurizing in a laminating direction and heating a (metal plate)-(ceramic board) laminated assembly obtained by the method for producing (metal plate)-(ceramic board) laminated assembly according to claim 1 .
