Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing a water-resistant aluminum nitride powder capable of adding a good water-resistant property to an aluminum nitride powder wherein yttria exists on a particle surface. The method is for producing a water-resistant aluminum nitride powder by carrying out a treatment to a particle surface of an aluminum nitride powder, the method including the successive steps of (i) making an aluminum nitride powder contact with an acid solution wherein yttria exists at least on a particle surface of the aluminum nitride powder; and (ii) making the aluminum nitride powder contact with a phosphorous acid compound, wherein the amount of yttria which is extracted when the aluminum nitride powder is filtered, washed with water, and dried after the step (i) and is thereafter subjected to extraction with 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid is no more than 1000 mg per 100 g of the aluminum nitride powder.
Abstract:
After a wet blasting treatment for jetting a slurry, which contains spherical alumina as abrasive grains in a liquid, to the surface of a ceramic substrate 10 of aluminum nitride sintered body so that the ceramic substrate 10 has a residual stress of not higher than -50 MPa and so that the surface of the ceramic substrate 10 to be bonded to the metal plate 14 has an arithmetic average roughness Ra of 0.15 to 0.30 µ m, a ten-point average roughness Rz of 0.7 to 1.1 µ m and a maximum height Ry of 0.9 to 1.7 µ m while causing the ceramic substrate to have a flexural strength of not higher than 500 MPa and causing the thickness of a residual stress layer 10a formed along the surface of the ceramic substrate 10 to be 25 µ m or less, the metal plate 14 of copper or a copper alloy is bonded to the ceramic substrate 10, which is obtained by the wet blasting treatment, via a brazing filler metal 12 to produce a metal/ceramic bonding substrate which has an excellent bonding strength of the ceramic substrate 10 to the metal plate 14 and which has an excellent heat cycle resistance.
