Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of producing a bonded body is disclosed in which a ceramic member made of ceramics and a Cu member made of Cu or a Cu alloy are bonded to each other, the method including: a laminating step of laminating the ceramic member and the Cu member in a state where a Cu—P-based brazing filler material containing 3 mass % to 10 mass % of P and an active metal material are interposed therebetween; and a heating step of heating the ceramic member and the Cu member which are laminated.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing a bonded body in which a ceramic member made of ceramics and a Cu member made of Cu or a Cu alloy are bonded to each other, the method comprising: a laminating step of laminating the ceramic member and the Cu member in a state where a layer of a Cu—P-based brazing filler material containing 3 mass % to 10 mass % of P and a layer of an active metal material are interposed between the Cu member and the ceramic member; and a heating step of heating the ceramic member and the Cu member which are laminated while pressurizing the ceramic member and the Cu member which are laminated in a laminating direction at a pressure of 1 kgf/cm 2 to 35 kgf/cm 2 , wherein in the laminating step, the Cu—P-based brazing filler material is disposed directly adjacent to the ceramic member, and the active metal material is disposed directly adjacent to the Cu member. 2. The method of producing a bonded body according to claim 1 , wherein the Cu—P-based brazing filler material is any one selected from a Cu—P brazing filler material, a Cu—P—Sn brazing filler material, a Cu—P—Sn—Ni brazing filler material, and a Cu—P—Zn brazing filler material. 3. The method of producing a bonded body according to claim 1 , wherein the active metal material contains Ti. 4. A method of producing a power module substrate in which a circuit layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a first surface of a ceramic substrate, wherein the ceramic substrate and the circuit layer are bonded to each other by the method of producing a bonded body according to claim 1 . 5. A method of producing a power module substrate in which a circuit layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a first surface of a ceramic substrate, and a metal layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a second surface of the ceramic substrate, wherein the ceramic substrate and the circuit layer are bonded to each other, and the ceramic substrate and the metal layer are bonded to each other by the method of producing a bonded body according to claim 1 . 6. A method of producing a power module substrate in which a circuit layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a first surface of a ceramic substrate, and a metal layer made of Al or an Al alloy is provided on a second surface of the ceramic substrate, wherein the ceramic substrate and the circuit layer are bonded to each other by the method of producing a bonded body according to claim 1 . 7. The method of producing a bonded body according to claim 1 , wherein the Cu—P-based brazing filler material is any one selected from a Cu—P brazing filler material, a Cu—P—Sn brazing filler material, a Cu—P—Sn—Ni brazing filler material, and a Cu—P—Zn brazing filler material. 8. The method of producing a bonded body according to claim 1 , wherein the active metal material contains Ti. 9. The method of producing a bonded body according to claim 2 , wherein the active metal material contains Ti. 10. The method of producing a bonded body according to claim 7 , wherein the active metal material contains Ti. 11. A method of producing a power module substrate in which a circuit layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a first surface of a ceramic substrate, wherein the ceramic substrate and the circuit layer are bonded to each other by the method of producing a bonded body according to claim 1 . 12. A method of producing a power module substrate in which a circuit layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a first surface of a ceramic substrate, wherein the ceramic substrate and the circuit layer are bonded to each other by the method of producing a bonded body according to claim 2 . 13. A method of producing a power module substrate in which a circuit layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a first surface of a ceramic substrate, wherein the ceramic substrate and the circuit layer are bonded to each other by the method of producing a bonded body according to claim 3 . 14. A method of producing a power module substrate in which a circuit layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a first surface of a ceramic substrate, and a metal layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a second surface of the ceramic substrate, wherein the ceramic substrate and the circuit layer are bonded to each other, and the ceramic substrate and the metal layer are bonded to each other by the method of producing a bonded body according to claim 1 . 15. A method of producing a power module substrate in which a circuit layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a first surface of a ceramic substrate, and a metal layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a second surface of the ceramic substrate, wherein the ceramic substrate and the circuit layer are bonded to each other, and the ceramic substrate and the metal layer are bonded to each other by the method of producing a bonded body according to claim 2 . 16. A method of producing a power module substrate in which a circuit layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a first surface of a ceramic substrate, and a metal layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a second surface of the ceramic substrate, wherein the ceramic substrate and the circuit layer are bonded to each other, and the ceramic substrate and the metal layer are bonded to each other by the method of producing a bonded body according to claim 3 . 17. A method of producing a power module substrate in which a circuit layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy is provided on a first surface of a ceramic substrate, and a metal layer made of Al or an Al alloy is provided on a second surface of the ceramic substrate, wherein the ceramic substrate and the circuit layer are bonded to each other by the method of producing a bonded body according to claim 1 . 18.
