Abstract

Abstract A laminated body comprising a ceramic member and a metal member, and a method of forming the laminated body are described. The laminated body is characterized in that the ceramic member contains in its surface portion a bonding agent and the metal member is directly bonded to the surface of the ceramic member. The method of forming the laminated body is characterized in that a bonding agent-containing layer is first formed in the surface of the ceramic member and then the bonding agent-containing layer is heated while being contacted with the metal member.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5

Claim 1

Independent Claim 97 words

A method for directly bonding a nonoxide-type ceramic member selected from the group consisting of nitride ceramic member and carbide member to a copper member, comprising the steps of: oxidizing a surface of said ceramic member to form an oxide layer 20 μm or less in thickness, bringing said copper member into contact with the oxide layer of said nonoxide-type ceramic member, and heating said copper member and said nonoxide-type ceramic member at a temperature of from 1065° to 1083° C. in an inert gas atmosphere to directly bond said copper member to said nonoxide-type ceramic member.

Claim 2

Independent Claim 97 words

Claim 3

Dependent Claim 24 words

A method according to claim 1, wherein the oxidizing step is performed in an air atmosphere at a temperature of 1,000° to 1,400° C.

Claim 4

Dependent Claim 25 words

A method according to claim 1, wherein the oxidizing step is performed in a wet gas atmosphere at a temperature of 1,200° to 1,500° C.

Claim 5

Dependent Claim 34 words

A method according to claim 1, wherein the heating temperature is below the melting temperature of the metal of said metal member and above the eutectic temperature of said metal and said bonding agent.
