(Prior Art) It has been known that when a beryllium oxide-based insulating plate is used as a substrate in the construction of a circuit board, a small but high-output circuit board can be obtained due to its good thermal conductivity. This is because the heat generated by the operation of electronic components provided on the board is easily dissipated, which can place a large load on the electronic components. However, this beryllium oxide-based insulating substrate has a problem in terms of toxicity, and attempts have been made to use boron nitride-based sintered bodies or aluminum nitride-based sintered bodies as an alternative. In particular, aluminum nitride-based sintered bodies are attracting attention as insulating substrates because they can be obtained at lower cost than boron nitride-based sintered bodies and have superior mechanical strength.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, since such a sintered aluminum nitride-based substrate has poor wettability with metal, for example, molybdenum-manganese alloy, molybdenum, tungsten, etc. are used to improve thermal conductivity. Even if metallization was attempted, the problem was that it was difficult to adhere.

Further, it is preferable to use these metals containing 100 to 2000 ppm of a binder, because bonding becomes easier. For example, when the metal is copper and the binder is oxygen, it is preferable to use Toughpitch electrolytic copper as the copper. Alternatively, if a metal is surface-treated with a binder in advance and a layer containing the binder of 200 to 5000 Å is used on the surface, bonding will be similarly facilitated.

The metal may be provided over the entire substrate, or may be provided selectively in the form of islands or grids. This heating temperature is suitably below the melting point of the metal and above the eutectic temperature of the eutectic alloy of the metal and the binder.

Below, the temperature is higher than the eutectic temperature of copper-copper oxide (1065°C). In addition, when heating metals that contain a binder or whose surface has been treated with a binder, heat in a gas atmosphere that is inert to the metal, binder, and aluminum nitride, such as a nitrogen gas atmosphere. If metals containing no binder are used, the binder should be
Heating in a reactive gas atmosphere containing 0.1 vol% is preferable from the viewpoint of ease of bonding.

(Function) In the thermally conductive substrate of the present invention, aluminum nitride, which is the base material of the base material, has high thermal conductivity, excellent heat dissipation, high electrical insulation, and low dielectric constant, and also has a small coefficient of thermal expansion. It has various properties required for a conductive substrate. In addition, by placing a metal in direct contact with an aluminum nitride-based sintered body containing a binder and heating it in a controlled atmosphere, a metal-binder eutectic liquid layer is formed at the contact interface. The metal and the sintered aluminum nitride base are bonded by forming a liquid layer, which wets the surface of the aluminum nitride sintered body, and then cooling the body, so that the bonding force is strong.
