Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A highly heat-conductive ceramic material which consists essentially of (i) an amount of silicon carbide not less than about 20% by weight and up to about 85% by weight, (ii) from about 0.1 to about 5% by weight of at least one metal oxide selected from the group consisting of calcium oxide, barium oxide and strontium oxide, (iii) 0 to about 5% by weight of carbon, and (iv) the balance of aluminum nitride.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
A highly heat-conductive ceramic material which consists essentially of (i) an amount of silicon carbide not less than about 20% by weight and up to about 85% by weight, (ii) from about 0.1 to about 5% by weight of at least one metal oxide selected from the group consisting of calcium oxide, barium oxide and strontium oxide, (iii) 0 to about 5% by weight of carbon, and (iv) the balance of aluminum nitride.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The ceramic material according to claim 1, wherein the amount of said metal oxide ranges from 0.5 to 3% by weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
114 words
The ceramic material according to claim 1, which is prepared by a process comprising mixing (i) not less than about 20 to 85% by weight of silicon carbide powder; (ii) 0.1 to 5% by weight of one or more of powder of metal oxide selected from the group consisting of calcium oxide, barium oxide and strontium oxide or powder of a precursor of said oxide, selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, calcium nitrate, barium carbonate, barium nitrate, strontium carbonate and strontium nitrate and (iii) the balance of aluminum nitride powder; forming the powdery mixture into a desired shape, which is then sintered within the temperature range of from 1600° to 1820° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
