- a ceramic substrate on which this number of LED elements are arranged for example, there is a substrate using a plane size of 20 mm ⁇ 20 mm or more and a thickness of about 1 mm.
- ceramic materials are basically ceramics, there is a problem in substrate strength when the size is increased. If the substrate is thickened to overcome this problem, a new problem arises in that the thermal resistance increases (heat dissipation becomes worse) and the material cost of the substrate also increases. In addition, when the ceramic substrate is enlarged, not only the outer dimensions of the substrate but also the dimensions of the electrode pattern formed on the substrate are likely to be distorted, resulting in a decrease in manufacturing yield and an increase in manufacturing cost of the substrate.

Abstract
Description
(セラミックス基板)
例えば、セラミックス基板は、板状のセラミックス基板に電極パターンを形成して作製される。発光装置の高出力化傾向に伴って、発光素子を多数並べて、明るさを向上させることが追及された結果、年々、セラミックス基板は大型化の一途をたどってきた。
(金属基体を用いた基板)
一方、このようなセラミックス基板での上記問題点を克服する目的で、高出力発光装置用基板として、熱伝導性の高い金属基体を使用する場合がある。ここで、金属基体上に発光素子を搭載するためには、電極パターンを形成するためにも金属基体上に絶縁層を設けなくてはならない。
本発明の一実施形態について図1~図4に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。(発光装置)
図1は、本実施の形態の発光装置1の概略構成を示す平面図である。
以下、図2に基づいて、発光装置用基板20に備えられた各層について説明する。
本実施の形態においては、金属材料からなる基体2としてアルミニウム基体を用いた。アルミニウム基体としては、例えば、縦50mm×横50mm×厚み3mmのアルミニウム板を用いることができる。アルミニウムの長所として、軽量で加工性に優れ、熱伝導率が高いことが挙げられる。また、アルミニウム基体には陽極酸化処理を妨げない程度のアルミニウム以外の成分が含まれていてもよい。なお、詳しくは後述するが、本実施の形態においては、比較的低い温度で、基体2上に、第1の絶縁層11と、配線パターン3と、光反射性を有する第2の絶縁層12と、を形成することができるので、金属材料からなる基体2として660℃の融点を有する低融点金属であるアルミニウム基体を用いることができる。このような理由から、アルミニウム基体に限定されることはなく、例えば、銅基体など金属材料からなる基体2として選択できる材質の幅が広い。
本実施の形態においては、図2に図示されているように、発光装置用基板20に高放熱性と、高い絶縁耐圧特性とを安定的に付与するために、熱伝導性のセラミックス絶縁体である第1の絶縁層11が、金属材料からなる基体2と、配線パターン3または光反射性を有する第2の絶縁層12との間に形成されている。
溶射(Thermal Spraying)とは、溶融あるいはそれに近い状態に加熱した溶射材料から得られる溶融粒子を、基体面に高速で衝突させ、積層させる方法であり、溶射材料は、粉末あるいは線材の形態で溶射装置に供給される。溶射においては、溶射材料を加熱する方法により、フレーム溶射、アーク溶射、プラズマ溶射、高速フレーム溶射などに分類される。材料を溶融させること無く不活性ガスと共に超音速流で固相状態のまま基材に衝突させて被膜を形成するコールドスプレー方式も溶射の一種に分類される。なお、セラミックス層を金属基体上に形成する目的としては、高速フレーム溶射、プラズマ溶射、フレーム溶射が適当である。以下、高速フレーム溶射、プラズマ溶射およびフレーム溶射について説明する。
第1の絶縁層11上に形成する配線パターン3は、従来の配線パターンの形成方法で形成することもできるが、従来の配線パターンの形成方法を用いた場合、配線パターンは、電極下地用の金属ペーストとメッキ層とで構成され、例えば、電極下地用の金属ペーストでは、バインダーとして樹脂等の有機物を使用しているため熱伝導率が低く、熱抵抗が高くなる一因となっていた。
図2に図示されているように、発光装置用基板20においては、配線パターン3の一部が露出するように、第1の絶縁層11の上および配線パターン3の一部の上に光反射性を有する第2の絶縁層12が形成されている。
図2では、LEDチップ4が、発光装置用基板20に搭載され、パッケージ化されている。ここでは、LEDチップ4が、フリップチップボンディングにより、配線パターン3の端子部分と電気的に接続されている。
以下、図3および図4に基づいて、発光装置用基板20の製造工程について説明する。
本発明の実施の形態1の変形例について、図16に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。図16は図2に示した実施の形態1の発光装置用基板20の変形例を説明する図である。
上記変形例1では、緩衝層250を金属あるいは合金層としているが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、代わりにシート状に加工した樹脂やペースト状の樹脂を用いて緩衝層250としてもよい。
次に、図5、図6および図7に基づいて、本実施の形態2について説明する。本実施の形態において説明する発光装置用基板20aは、金属基体2と第1の絶縁層11との間に接着層16が備えられている点において実施の形態1で説明した発光装置用基板20とは異なる。なお、説明の便宜上、上記実施の形態1の図面に示した部材と同じ機能を有する部材については、同じ符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
以下、図6および図7に基づいて、発光装置用基板20aの製造工程について説明する。
次に、図8に基づいて、本実施の形態3について説明する。本実施の形態において説明する発光装置用基板は、保護膜(保護層)として第1の絶縁層11を金属基体の側面にも形成している点において実施の形態1および2で説明した発光装置用基板とは異なる。なお、説明の便宜上、上記実施の形態1および2の図面に示した部材と同じ機能を有する部材については、同じ符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
次に、図9に基づいて、本実施の形態4について説明する。本実施の形態において説明する発光装置用基板は、保護膜19(保護層)を金属基体2の側面のみでなく、第1の絶縁層11が形成されている面と対向する面(金属基体2の裏面)にも形成し、裏面保護シート14を使用しないという点において実施の形態1から3で説明した発光装置用基板とは異なる。なお、説明の便宜上、上記実施の形態1から3の図面に示した部材と同じ機能を有する部材については、同じ符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
次に、図10に基づいて、本実施の形態5について説明する。本実施の形態において説明する発光装置用基板20′においては、配線パターン3′の形成に金属ペーストである銅ペーストを用いていることと、溶射アルミナ層(第1の絶縁層11)がアルミナ含有ガラス層である平滑化層21(第3の絶縁層)で被覆されている点において実施の形態1から4で説明した発光装置用基板とは異なる。なお、説明の便宜上、上記実施の形態1から4の図面に示した部材と同じ機能を有する部材については、同じ符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
本発明の実施形態5の変形例について、図17に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。図17は本実施の形態5の発光装置用基板20′の変形例を説明する図である。
本実施の形態においては、本発明の効果を確認するために、発光装置用基板の熱抵抗を試算し、比較例との比較を行った。
図11(a)は、図2に図示した発光装置用基板20上に、フリップチップ型発光素子であるLEDチップ4を搭載するとともに、発光装置用基板20の金属基体2においてLEDチップ4が設けられている面と対向する面にアルマイトからなる保護膜を形成し、さらには、ヒートシンクに放熱グリースを介して熱的に接続されている発光装置の切断面を模式的に示す図である。
図11(a)から図15(a)までの模式図で示した層構造を持つ発光装置用基板の熱抵抗を計算するために用いた、各層ごとの熱伝導率σth(W/(m・℃))と、層厚d(mm)は、図11(b)から図15(b)にそれぞれ示した。
発光装置用基板の熱抵抗の値は、熱源の位置や寸法に依存するが、図11(b)、図12(b)、図13(b)、図14(b)および図15(b)に示す熱抵抗Rth(℃/W)の結果においては、発光素子の活性層を唯一の熱源と仮定して、各層の熱抵抗Rth(℃/W)を計算している。さらに、図11(b)、図12(b)、図13(b)、図14(b)および図15(b)においては、各層の熱抵抗Rth(℃/W)だけでなく、各層の温度上昇ΔT(℃)も求めているが、この温度上昇ΔT(℃)は、熱源の発熱量を0.75Wと仮定した場合の値である。
図11の(b)に示した、各層の熱抵抗Rth(℃/W)および温度上昇ΔT(℃)は、上記計算方法で試算したものである。図12の(b)、図13の(b)、図14の(b)および図15の(b)においても、同様の計算方法で試算している。
実施の形態1から6のように、金属基体上に緻密で高品質なセラミックス層を用いる利点としては、放熱性、絶縁耐圧性以外にも、長期信頼性の改善が挙げられる。発光素子と金属基体の線膨張率の差を埋める緩衝層としてセラミックス層が機能し、フリップチップ型発光素子の寿命を改善できる。
