摘要:
A thermoelectric conversion module (10) comprises first and second electrode members (13, 14), and thermoelectric elements (11, 12) arranged between the electrode members (13, 14). The thermoelectric elements (11, 12) are made of a half-Heusler material and are electrically and mechanically connected to the first and second electrode members (13, 14) via bonding parts (17). The bonding parts (17) include a bonding material which contains at least one selected from Ag, Cu and Ni as a main component and at least one of active metal selected from Ti, Zr, Hf, Ta, V and Nb in a range from 1 to 10% by mass.
摘要:
A ceramic circuit board composed of a ceramic board (2) and a metallic circuit board (3) joined to each other via a silver-copper brazing metal layer (5) containing at least one reactive metal selected among Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb and Ta, wherein the Vickers hardness of a reaction product layer (6) formed by the reaction between the brazing metal layer (5) and the ceramic board (2) is 1,100 or above. It is preferable that the brazing metal layer (5) further contains at least one element selected among In, Zn, Cd and Sn, and also contains 0.1-10.0 wt. % powdery carbon. It is thus possible to provide a highly reliable ceramic circuit board excellent in thermal cycle stability, i.e., effectively prevented from causing cracking even after reperated cold-hot cycles for long.
