摘要:
In the production of a ceramic substrate (1) with a level difference (3), a surface of a fired substrate obtained by firing of a ceramic green sheet is honed to form the level difference (3). Alternatively, a level difference is first formed through processing of a ceramic green sheet, laminating of a ceramic green sheet, or the like, and thereafter the ceramic green sheet is fired to obtain a fired substrate (ceramic substrate) (1) with a level difference (3).

A person detecting device detects the presence and absence of a person in a certain space such as a vehicle compartment. The device includes means for sensing the capacitance between a pair of electrodes with a space where a person may present, oscillating means for providing a first pulse signal and means for delaying the first pulse signal and providing a second pulse signal delayed in response to the capacitance. The device further includes means for receiving the first and second pulse signals and providing a third pulse signal of a duty ratio determined in response to the capacitance. The third pulse signal is further converted to a value representing the duty ratio which is compared with at least a reference value preset for judging as to the presence and absence of the person.

The aluminum nitride sintered body according to the present invention comprises 1-10 % by weight of at least one element selected from a group consisting of a group IIIa element listed in periodic table, Ca, Sr and Ba in terms of the amount of an oxide thereof, 0.2-2.0 % by weight of boron carbide, at most 0.2 % by weight of at least one silicon compound selected from a group consisting of SiO.sub.2, Si.sub.3 N.sub.4, SiC, Si.sub.2 N.sub.2 O,.beta.-Sialon, .alpha.-Sialon and poly-type aluminum nitride (Al--Si--O--N) in terms of the amount of Si component, and the balance of aluminum nitride. According to the foregoing structure, there is available an AlN sintered body in which grain growth of the AlN sintered body is inhibited; the sintered body structure is fined; coupling of grain boundaries and crystal grains is intensified, thereby improving both strength and fracture toughness of the sintered body and increasing mechanical strength and fracture toughness without impairing heat radiation characteristics intrinsic to aluminum nitride.

An aluminum nitride sintered body containing 1 to 10% by weight of an oxide of at least one element selected from a group consisting of a group IIIa element, Ca, Sr and Ba, the concentration of a Si component in the sintered body is 0.01 to 0.2% by weight and three-point bending strength is 490 MPa or more. The sintered body is characterized in that a crystal structure composed of aluminum nitride crystal grains is formed, the fracture toughness is 2.8 MN/m.sup.3/2 or more, the three-point bending strength is 490 MPa or more and the thermal conductivity is 150 W/m.multidot.k or more. In the crystal structure, the distribution of the crystal grain distribution is adequately adjusted. The growth of the AlN sintered body is restricted, thus the structure of the sintered body is fined, and the distribution of the crystal grain size is controlled adequately so that the strength and the fracture toughness of the sintered body are improved. Moreover, the mechanical Strength and fracture toughness are improved without impairing the heat radiating characteristics of the aluminum nitride.

A substrate for optical semiconductors of the present invention comprises an insulating ceramic substrate, a metal layer provided on the insulating ceramic substrate, a solder layer provided on the metal layer and composed of Sn only or 50 wt % or more of Sn and the balance substantially of Au, and a protective layer provided on the solder layer and composed of Au or Ag having a thickness of 0.01 μm or more and 1 μm or less. The substrate for optical semiconductors as described above makes it possible to reduce stress placed on the optical semiconductor, to suppress development of crystal defects, and to prolong its life when joining the optical semiconductor easily developing crystal defects by slight stress or when in use thereafter.

An aluminum nitride substrate includes an aluminum nitride sintered body containing a rare earth oxide as a sintering additive component. In the aluminum nitride substrate, a surface thereof is machined so that arithmetic average roughness Ra is 0.5 &mgr;m or less; an aggregate size of the sintering additive component present on the machined surface is 20 &mgr;m or less; and a total aggregate area in a unit area of the machined surface is 5% or less. A metal thin film is deposited on such machined surface with good intimate contact properties, and furthermore deposition accuracy or the like is improved.
