Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a circuit board. The circuit board comprises: an aluminum-based substrate; an alumina layer formed on at least one surface of the aluminum-based substrate; and a circuit layer formed on the alumina layer. The alumina layer comprises alumina and an element selected from a group consisting of chromium, nickel, a rare earth metal, and a combination thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A circuit board, comprising: an aluminum-based substrate; an alumina layer formed on at least one surface of the aluminum-based substrate, wherein the alumina layer includes a circuit pattern formed by irradiation of an energy beam; and a circuit layer formed on the circuit pattern of the alumina, wherein the alumina layer comprises alumina and at least one element selected from chromium, lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, thulium, ytterbium, lutetium, scandium, or a combination thereof. 2. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the element in the alumina layer ranges from 0.001 wt % to 20 wt %. 3. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the element in the alumina layer ranges from 0.01 wt % to 1 wt %. 4. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the alumina layer ranges from 10 μm to 300 μm. 5. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the alumina layer ranges from 50 μm to 100 μm. 6. The circuit board according to claim 1 , wherein the alumina layer is sealed with a sealing agent. 7. The circuit board according to claim 6 , wherein the sealing agent is selected from one or more dichromate, one or more nickel salt, one or more rare earth metal salt, or a combination thereof. 8. The circuit board according to claim 6 , wherein the sealing agent is selected from potassium dichromate, sodium dichromate, nickel fluoride, nickel acetate, nickel sulfate, or a combination thereof.
