- the reflective layer 12 is a mixed layer of light-reflecting ceramics and glass.
- the reflective layer 12 contains zirconia as a light reflective ceramic and is formed by sintering or the like using a glass-based binder.
- the glass-based binder is made of a sol-like substance that synthesizes glass particles by a sol-gel reaction.
- the resin binder is composed of an epoxy resin, a silicone resin, a fluororesin, or a polyimide resin that has excellent heat resistance and light resistance and high transparency. Since the glass binder is superior in heat resistance and light resistance and has high thermal conductivity as compared with the resin binder, it is more preferable to use the glass binder.
- the glass-based binder used in the sol-gel method has a relatively low firing temperature of 200 ° C. to 500 ° C.
- a glass-based binder is used for the reflective layer 12
- the aluminum substrate 10 or intermediate can be used in the manufacturing process.
- the layer 11 is not damaged.
- a resin binder is used for the reflective layer 12
- the aluminum substrate 10 and the intermediate layer 11 are not damaged.
- Main examples of the light-reflective ceramic material used for the reflective layer 12 include titanium oxide particles, alumina particles, and aluminum nitride particles in addition to zirconia particles. Further, other highly reflective ceramic materials may be used.
- the ceramic material referred to here is not limited to a metal oxide, but may be any insulating material that reflects light from the light emitting element 6 (see FIG. 3).
- ceramic materials include ceramics in a broad sense including aluminum nitride and the like, that is, inorganic solid materials in general.
- any material can be used as the light-reflective ceramic material of the reflective layer 12 as long as it is a stable material excellent in heat resistance and thermal conductivity and excellent in light reflection and light scattering. You can use it. Therefore, a material that absorbs light is not suitable as a ceramic material for the reflective layer 12.
- silicon nitride, silicon carbide, and the like are generally black and are not suitable as a ceramic material used for the reflective layer 12.
- the thickness of the reflective layer 12 is preferably about 50 ⁇ m or more and 100 ⁇ m or less in consideration of the reflectance of the substrate 5. Since the thermal conductivity of the reflective layer 12 is lower than that of the intermediate layer 11, it is desirable that the thickness of the reflective layer 12 be a minimum necessary thickness that can ensure a desired light reflecting function. As a thickness for achieving this object, the thickness of the reflective layer 12 is suitably about 50 ⁇ m or more and 100 ⁇ m or less.
- the reflective layer 12 functions as a layer that fills the irregularities on the surface of the intermediate layer 11 and flattens the surface on which the light emitting element 6 is mounted.
- the intermediate layer 11 used in Embodiment 1 is a ceramic layer formed by using the AD method
- the depth of the uneven shape on the surface of the intermediate layer 11 is approximately 1-3 ⁇ m. The following are slight.
- the intermediate layer 11 of the first embodiment is formed by the AD method, the flatness of the intermediate layer 11 is originally higher than that of the ceramic layer formed by thermal spraying. The effect of is limited.
- the intermediate layer 11 is formed by laminating a ceramic layer on the aluminum substrate 10 by the AD method, and has an insulating property.
- the intermediate layer 11 contains ceramics formed by the AD method.
- the reflective layer 12 since the reflective layer 12 has a minimum necessary thickness that can ensure the light reflection function, there may be a case where the withstand voltage required for the substrate 5 is insufficient. Therefore, the intermediate layer 11 reinforces the dielectric strength that is insufficient with the reflective layer 12 alone.
- the reflective layer 12 depends on a ceramic material mixed with glass or resin and its amount, but the reflectance is saturated if it has a thickness of about 10 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m. Therefore, although depending on the formation conditions of the intermediate layer 11, the thickness of the intermediate layer 11 is preferably 50 ⁇ m or more and 1000 ⁇ m or less, and particularly preferably 50 ⁇ m or more and 500 ⁇ m or less. The reason why a relatively thick layer of 0.5 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less can be used for the intermediate layer 11 in this way will be described in detail later, but the ceramic layer (intermediate layer 11) formed by the AD method is used. This is because it has good quality and high thermal conductivity. For example, in the case of alumina, even when it is formed under typical forming conditions, a high thermal conductivity of about 15 W / (m ⁇ ° C.) can be realized.
- the thickness of the intermediate layer 11 is 100 ⁇ m, it is possible to stably secure a dielectric breakdown voltage of at least 1.5 kV to 3 kV at least by the intermediate layer 11 alone. If the thickness of the intermediate layer 11 is 500 ⁇ m, a dielectric breakdown voltage of 7.5 kV to 15 kV can be secured at least with the intermediate layer 11 alone. Finally, the thickness of the intermediate layer 11 may be determined so that the total withstand voltage of the reflective layer 12 and the withstand voltage of the intermediate layer 11 becomes a desired withstand voltage. In the first embodiment, it is desirable to configure the reflective layer 12 and the intermediate layer 11 so that the total withstand voltage is about 4 kV to 5 kV.
- alumina Al 2 O 3
- alumina is used as the ceramic material used for the intermediate layer 11.
- the ceramic material used for the intermediate layer 11 in addition to alumina, aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, and the like are preferable because both thermal conductivity and withstand voltage are good.
- silicon carbide has high thermal conductivity
- zirconia and titanium oxide have high withstand voltage.
- silicon carbide, zirconia, and titanium oxide may be properly used as the ceramic material used for the intermediate layer 11 according to the purpose and application.
- the ceramic material referred to here is not limited to metal oxides, but includes broadly defined ceramics including aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, silicon carbide and the like, that is, all inorganic solid materials. Of these inorganic solid materials, any material can be used as the ceramic material used for the intermediate layer 11 as long as it is a stable material excellent in heat resistance and thermal conductivity and excellent in dielectric strength. Absent.
- the ceramic material used for the intermediate layer 11 has a higher thermal conductivity than the ceramic material used for the reflective layer 12.
- zirconia particles are used as the ceramic material for the reflective layer 12.
- the intermediate layer 11 uses alumina. Since the thermal conductivity of alumina is higher than that of zirconia, it is possible to increase the thermal conductivity of the intermediate layer 11 as compared with the reflective layer 12 while maintaining high withstand voltage.
- the intermediate layer 11 is formed by laminating a ceramic layer on the aluminum substrate 10 by the AD method.
- Aluminum is a low melting point metal with a melting point of 660 ° C., and ceramics are usually sintered at a temperature higher than this. For this reason, a ceramic sintered body cannot be directly sintered on the aluminum substrate 10.
- the substrate temperature of the aluminum substrate 10 at the time of stacking by the AD method is a normal temperature, and the ceramic layer can be stacked on the aluminum substrate 10 at a temperature sufficiently lower than the melting point 660 ° C. of aluminum. That is, the intermediate layer 11 made of only ceramics can be formed on the low melting point metal without using a binder that lowers the thermal conductivity such as a glass binder or a resin binder. Therefore, the intermediate layer 11 is equivalent to or more than a layer formed using a glass-based binder or a resin binder without impairing the original high thermal conductivity of a ceramic material such as alumina. Has pressure resistance.
- the ceramic layer of the intermediate layer 11 is formed by the AD method, it is a dense ceramic having a small porosity (ratio of air holes in the formed film), which is an index of the density of the layer (film). Become a layer. Therefore, the intermediate layer 11 can stably secure a high withstand voltage and simultaneously realize an insulating layer having a high thermal conductivity with a lower thermal resistance.
- the ceramic layer may be heat-treated for the purpose of improving the dielectric strength performance of the ceramic layer or for improving the thermal conductivity of the ceramic layer.
- heat treatment when heat treatment is performed between 200 ° C. and 900 ° C., ceramic grains can be grown and defects in the ceramic layer can be reduced. This increases the dielectric strength and thermal conductivity of the ceramic layer.
- the heat treatment may be performed at an appropriate temperature in a range not exceeding 660 ° C., for example, in the case of an aluminum substrate, considering the melting point of the substrate.
- the thermal conductivity when the ceramic layer (intermediate layer 11) formed using the AD method is subjected to heat treatment is close to the thermal conductivity of a conventional ceramic substrate formed by sintering, for example, 10 to 30 W /
- the value of thermal conductivity (m ⁇ ° C.) can be obtained stably.
- the thermal conductivity of a conventional layer formed by hardening ceramic particles using a glass or resin binder is usually 1 to 3 W / (m because it is affected by glass or resin having a low thermal conductivity. ⁇ °C) degree.
- the former formed using the AD method
- the thermal conductivity of the ceramic layer is an order of magnitude greater.
- the thermal resistance of the former is about one tenth of the thermal resistance of the latter (conventional layer formed by solidifying ceramic particles using a glass or resin binder).
- the thermal resistance is roughly the same as the latter with a layer thickness of 50 ⁇ m. If the withstand voltage performance per thickness is the same, even if the former secures a withstand voltage 10 times that of the latter, the heat dissipation is the same.
- the unevenness in the depth direction with respect to the surface of the ceramic layer there is a difference in the unevenness in the depth direction with respect to the surface of the ceramic layer between the ceramic layer formed using the AD method and the conventional ceramic layer formed using thermal spraying.
- the unevenness is smaller than the unevenness of the ceramic layer by thermal spraying.
- the unevenness of the ceramic layer by the AD method is as small as about 2 ⁇ m or less, whereas the unevenness of the ceramic layer by spraying is as large as about 20 ⁇ m to 40 ⁇ m or more.
- the unevenness of about 2 ⁇ m is a slight unevenness enough to be easily filled with a die bond paste used when the light emitting element 6 is mounted on the substrate 5.
- the surface roughness of the ceramic layer obtained by the AD method is thus reduced because the particle size of the raw material ceramic particles used in the AD method is sufficiently smaller than the particle size of the ceramic particles used in the thermal spraying. It is. As a result, when a ceramic layer is formed using the AD method, a film that is denser and flatter than a ceramic layer formed by thermal spraying can be easily obtained.
- the AD method is a technique for forming a coating film by mixing fine particles and ultrafine particle raw materials prepared in advance by other methods with a gas to form an aerosol, and spraying it onto a substrate through a nozzle.
- thermal spraying in thermal spraying, molten particles obtained from a sprayed material that has been melted or heated close to it are collided with the substrate surface at high speed, and the molten particles are laminated on the substrate surface. It is a method to make it.
- the thermal spray material is supplied to the thermal spray apparatus in the form of powder or wire.
- the main difference is in the particle size of the powder used for the raw material and the temperature of the material.
- ceramic particles having a relatively large particle size of 10-50 ⁇ m, which is a typical particle size are heated, melted, or semi-molten using plasma, and then placed on a plasma flow ejected from a nozzle. Is accelerated and collided with the substrate to form a ceramic layer on the substrate.
- aerosolized fine particles and ultra fine particles are used as raw materials.
- a particle size suitable for aerosolization ceramic particles of about 0.08-2 ⁇ m can be mentioned.
- the particle size suitable for aerosolization is about 1/10 or less of the particle size suitable for thermal spraying.
- the above-mentioned fine particles and ultrafine particles may be obtained by mechanically pulverizing a ceramic sintered body prepared in advance.
- the fine particles prepared in this way are deposited on the substrate using the film forming apparatus 50 shown in FIG.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic view of a film forming apparatus 50 for forming the intermediate layer 11 of the substrate 5 by the AD method.
- the film forming apparatus 50 includes an aerosol generator 51 and a film forming chamber 52 connected by a thin transfer tube.
- the film forming chamber 52 is depressurized by the vacuum pump 53 to around 50 to 1 kPa.
- the aerosol generator 51 the dry fine particle material and the ultrafine particle material, which are raw materials, are agitated and mixed with the high pressure gas supplied from the high pressure gas container 57 through the mass flow controller 58 to be aerosolized.
- the aerosolized fine particle material and ultrafine particle material are transferred to the film formation chamber 52 by the gas flow generated by the pressure difference between the aerosol generator 51 and the film formation chamber 52, and are accelerated through the slit-shaped minute opening nozzle 54. And sprayed onto the aluminum substrate 10 fixed to the XYZ ⁇ stage 61. As a result, a ceramic layer is formed on the substrate 10 at room temperature.
- the fine particle material a ceramic sintered powder having a particle size of about 0.08 to 2 ⁇ m and mechanically pulverized is used.
- the ultrafine particle material transported by gas is easily accelerated to several hundreds m / sec by passing through the minute opening nozzle 54 having a minute opening of 1 mm or less.
- the film forming speed and the density of the film forming body greatly depend on the particle size, the aggregated state, the dried state, etc. of the ceramic fine particles to be used. Therefore, the aggregated particle pulverizer 55 is interposed between the aerosol generator 51 and the film forming chamber 52.
- a classifier 56 is provided to realize a high-quality particle flow.
- the fine particle material injected onto the aluminum substrate 10 is detected by a transmission optical sensor, and the particle beam concentration measuring device 60 measures the particle beam concentration of the injected fine particle material.
- the mass flow controller 58 controls the flow rate of the high pressure gas based on the measurement result of the particle beam concentration measuring device 60.
- the ceramic layer thus obtained by using the AD method It is possible to obtain a dense film formed of non-oriented fine crystals of 10 to 20 nm or less in which almost no amorphous layer or heterogeneous phase is observed between ceramic crystal particles.
- the ceramic layer thus obtained is a denser film-formed body than the ceramic layer obtained by thermal spraying.
- the ceramic layer by AD method has both high thermal conductivity and withstand voltage, and according to AD method, it is possible to stably reproduce such good characteristics.
- the particle size of the ceramic material used in the AD method is 0.08 to 2 ⁇ m, which is very small compared to thermal spraying. Further, since the fine particles collide with the aluminum substrate 10 during the film formation, the fine particles are further finely pulverized. Therefore, the ceramic layer obtained as the film-formed body has small surface irregularities and high flatness.
- the ceramic layer by AD method is originally a layer having high flatness, but may be polished to further improve flatness. Since the ceramic layer formed by the AD method is a dense layer made of fine ceramic particles, the ceramic layer is highly resistant to polishing, and the ceramic particles are rarely peeled off to cause a defect portion. In addition, since the ceramic layer by the AD method has a very small particle size, even if a defect portion is generated by polishing, the defect portion is so small that it is difficult to visually recognize and does not impede practical use.
- the ceramic layer When a ceramic layer is formed by conventional plasma spraying, the ceramic layer has a porosity of about 1% to 5%, and care must be taken not to create a through-hole in the ceramic layer in order to maintain dielectric strength. It was. For example, it was necessary to laminate the ceramic layer thickly until the through hole was filled.
- the ceramic layer formed by the AD method does not substantially cause such a problem of the through hole. Even if it occurs rarely, it is limited to a special case such as a case where the layer thickness is very thin, for example, a thickness of 50 ⁇ m or less or a film forming speed is too high. Usually, such a problem does not occur if the ceramic layer (insulating layer) has a thickness of about 50 ⁇ m or more. This is also because the ceramic particles used as the raw material have a very small particle size of 0.08 to 2 ⁇ m, the formed ceramic layer is dense over the entire surface, and the porosity is less than 1%.
- the AD method is not limited to the formation of a ceramic layer, and can be applied to the formation of a metal layer.
- the AD method when used to form an electrode layer made of copper, silver, etc., it can be formed at room temperature. Therefore, compared to plasma spraying, flame spraying, etc., when the raw material is at a high temperature, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity due to oxidation. This is more preferable because almost no decrease in the above occurs.
- the particle size is very high, such as 0.08 to 2 ⁇ m. It can be said that the AD method capable of depositing small fine particles at room temperature is more preferable than forming a ceramic layer and an electrode layer by a thermal spraying technique such as high-speed flame spraying or plasma spraying or other conventional methods.

- the firing temperature It is effective to set the temperature to 400 ° C. to 500 ° C.
- Embodiment 1 a sol used for synthesizing a vitreous by a sol-gel reaction is applied on the intermediate layer 11 by screen printing as a binder of zirconia particles. Thereafter, the glass binder is dried at 200 ° C. to 300 ° C. and fired at 400 ° C. to 500 ° C. to form the reflective layer 12.
- a method for forming the reflective layer 12 there is a method for forming a vitreous layer by remelting particles of low melting point glass cured with an organic binder, other than the sol-gel method.
- a high temperature of 800 ° C. to 900 ° C. is required at least.
- a method for forming the reflective layer 12 that requires such a high-temperature process can also be used.
- Glass is most preferable as a material for forming the reflective layer 12 because it has excellent light resistance and heat resistance.
- a resin excellent in heat resistance and light resistance such as a silicone resin, an epoxy resin, a polyimide resin, or A fluororesin may be used as a binder for the ceramic particles.
- the resin is inferior to glass in terms of heat resistance and light resistance, the curing temperature of the resin is lower than the curing temperature of glass synthesis by the sol-gel reaction of the glass raw material, and the resin is used as a binder for ceramic particles. If used, the formation process of the reflective layer 12 becomes easy.
- a protective layer 13 is formed so as to cover the lower end surface and the side end surface of the aluminum substrate 10 (protective layer forming step).
- a sealing process is performed after the anodizing process to close the porous holes generated in the anodic oxide film of aluminum which is the protective layer 13.
- the sealing process is performed after the alumite treatment, the anodized film of aluminum forming the protective layer 13 is stabilized. For this reason, the durability and corrosion resistance of the aluminum substrate 10 are further ensured by the protective layer 13.
- the anodic oxide film of aluminum used as the protective layer 13, that is, the alumite layer is extremely thin, for example, 10 ⁇ m or less, for example, 1 to 3 ⁇ m, and is also sealed.
- the sealing process is an indispensable process in order to suppress erosion by the plating solution used in the plating process in the electrode pattern forming process described later, and to avoid unnecessary deposition of metal.
- the alumite layer can be used as a radiation layer having a high thermal radiation by forming a thick film of, for example, 50 ⁇ m or more using the porous property. However, if the porous property remains, the protective layer 13 can be used. It is not enough for the function.
- the protective layer 13 made by sealing a thin aluminum anodic oxide film of 10 ⁇ m or less does not function as a heat radiation layer because the hole of the porous film is blocked, but in the plating process It has sufficient functions to prevent erosion and unnecessary precipitation and improve the durability and corrosion resistance of the aluminum substrate 10 after the substrate 5 is completed.
- the protective layer 13 is formed by anodizing after the reflective layer 12 is formed.
- the firing temperature when the reflective layer 12 is formed by synthesizing vitreous by sol-gel reaction as in Embodiment 1 is 200 to 500 ° C.
- the protective layer 13 is cracked, and functions as a protective film for the substrate 5 for the light emitting device. It is because it falls.
- the reflective layer 12 containing ceramic particles serves as a mask for the alumite treatment in the process of forming the protective layer 13.
- the protective layer 13 is formed after the intermediate layer 11 is formed, only the exposed portion of the aluminum material excluding the intermediate layer 11 on the aluminum base 10 is covered with the protective layer 13.
- the curing temperature of the resin may be 250 ° C. or less depending on the material. In such a case, even if the reflective layer 12 is formed after the protective layer 13 is formed, the protective layer 13 does not crack (crack), so the order of formation may be arbitrary.
- the protective layer 13 is an anodized layer, there is no problem even if the protective layer 13 is substituted by, for example, attaching a protective sheet. Whether the protective sheet is peeled off from the substrate 5 or left in the final stage of manufacture may be determined based on the heat resistance, heat dissipation, and long-term reliability of the protective sheet.
- the substrate 5 in which the aluminum base 10 is covered with the intermediate layer 11, the reflective layer 12, and the protective layer 13 is manufactured through the above intermediate layer forming step, reflective layer forming step, and protective layer forming step.
- the electrode pattern 14 is formed on the reflective layer 12 as follows.
- a circuit pattern is drawn on the upper surface of the reflective layer 12 by using a metal paste made of a resin containing metal particles as a base for the electrode pattern 14, and then dried.
- a base circuit pattern 19 is formed (base circuit pattern forming step).

- the aluminum substrate 10 is already covered with a reflective layer 12 having a high reflectance containing ceramics, an intermediate layer 11, and a protective layer 13 of an anodized aluminum film. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently deposit the electrode metal from the plating solution only on the base circuit pattern 19 without the aluminum substrate 10 being eroded by the plating solution used in the plating process in the electrode pattern forming step. .

- the thermal conductivity of the reflective layer 12 is the same as the thermal conductivity of the reflective layer 23, and the thermal conductivity ⁇ 1 is 1 W / (m ⁇ ° C.).
- the ceramic layer typified by alumina formed by the AD method used for the intermediate layer 11 can be formed only of ceramics without using a binder having low thermal conductivity such as glass or resin. For this reason, the ceramic layer formed by AD method can implement

- the ceramic layer 201 in FIG. 11 of this comparative example is formed by thermal spraying
- the insulating reflective layer 24 provided on the substrate 5A of Embodiment 2 shown in FIG. 9 is formed by using the AD method.
- the surface When a ceramic layer is formed on a metal substrate by thermal spraying, the surface often becomes rough. This is mainly due to the fact that the particle size of the material particles used for thermal spraying is larger than the particle size of the material used for the AD method. Comparing the typical particle size of the raw material ceramic particles used for film formation, the thermal spraying uses relatively large particles of 10 to 50 ⁇ m, whereas the AD method uses 0.08 to Relatively small particles of about 2 ⁇ m are used separately.
- the surface of the aluminum base 210 is made uneven by blasting, and then the ceramic layer 201 is laminated by thermal spraying.
- the surface of the ceramic layer 201 after lamination remains affected by the concavo-convex shape of the aluminum substrate 210 made by blasting.
- the unevenness finally remaining on the surface of the ceramic layer 201 is generally as large as 20 ⁇ m to 40 ⁇ m or more.
- the base circuit pattern 19 shown in FIG. 10 When the base circuit pattern 19 shown in FIG. 10 is formed on the surface having such a large uneven shape, the base circuit pattern 19 is disconnected.
- the light-emitting element 206 and the ceramic layer 201 on which the light-emitting element 206 is mounted are not in sufficient contact, and the light-emitting element 206 and the ceramic layer 201 may have a high thermal resistance.
- the insulating reflective layer 24 formed on the aluminum base 10 provided on the substrate 5A of the second embodiment is formed by the AD method.
- the AD method relatively small particles of about 0.08 to 2 ⁇ m suitable for aerosolization are separated and used, so that the unevenness finally remaining in the insulating reflection layer 24 is generally as small as 2 ⁇ m or less.
- the surface of the aluminum base 210 is made uneven by blasting for the purpose of improving the adhesion between the aluminum base 210 and the ceramic layer 201, and then the ceramic layer 201 is laminated by thermal spraying.
- the same blasting process is performed on the aluminum base 10, and the insulating reflection layer 24 is formed by the AD method to improve the adhesion between the aluminum base 10 and the insulating reflection layer 24.
- Concave and convex shapes are formed on the surface of the aluminum substrate 10 by blasting, but the ceramic fine particles used in the AD method are relatively small, such as about 0.08 to 2 ⁇ m suitable for aerosolization.

It is possible to ensure the flatness necessary for the substrate for the illumination light emitting device. Even if a flattening operation such as mechanical polishing or buffing is necessary, polishing can be performed relatively easily. Since the ceramic layer formed using the AD method is a dense layer, the ceramic layer is peeled off from the metal substrate by polishing work, or the ceramic particles in the ceramic layer are peeled off, resulting in a hole-like defect of 1 ⁇ m size or more on the surface. This is because the portion is rarely formed.
- the particle size of the fine particles constituting the ceramic layer formed by using the AD method is 0.08 to 2 ⁇ m at the stage of incidence on the aluminum substrate 10.
- the fine particles are pulverized when entering the aluminum substrate 10 to further reduce the particle size
- the ceramic layer formed by the AD method is a dense layer mainly composed of fine particles of 0.08 ⁇ m or less. Since the fine particles constituting the ceramic layer are small, even if the fine particles are lost by polishing, no large hole is left in the defective portion.
- the ceramic layer 201 is formed by thermal spraying, as opposed to the insulating reflective layer 24 by the AD method. Therefore, the unevenness remaining on the surface of the ceramic layer 201 after the ceramic layer 201 is formed is 20 ⁇ m to It is as large as 40 ⁇ m or more. Therefore, in order to ensure the flatness required as a substrate for a light emitting device for high brightness illumination, in order to improve the comparative example of FIG. Indispensable for. However, it is generally difficult to flatten unevenness of 20 ⁇ m to 40 ⁇ m or more remaining on the surface of the ceramic layer 201 to 2 to 3 ⁇ m or less by mechanical polishing, buffing or the like.
- the ceramic layer 201 is peeled off from the metal substrate 210 by polishing, the ceramic particles in the ceramic layer 201 are peeled off, and a hole-shaped defect portion having a size of 10 ⁇ m or more is formed on the surface of the ceramic layer 201.
- the comparative example of FIG. 11 uses relatively large particles of 10 to 50 ⁇ m and aggregates to form the ceramic layer 201. Therefore, if polishing is performed to flatten the unevenness, defects such as peeling and formation of defective portions are likely to occur.
- the insulating reflective layer 24 formed by the AD method as in the second embodiment than to use the ceramic layer 201 formed by thermal spraying as in the comparative example of FIG. It has been found that it is effective as a substrate for a light emitting device for high brightness illumination.

It may be replaced with a ceramic layer with increased reflectivity formed by the AD method shown in FIG. 2 to form a two-layer structure in which the insulating reflective layer 24 of the second embodiment is formed on the intermediate layer 11 of the first embodiment. . That is, the ceramic material or composition may be changed between the intermediate layer 11 and the reflective layer 12.

- both the intermediate layer 11 and the reflective layer 12 are formed by the AD method.
- an alumina ceramic is used as the base material of the reflective layer 12
- an additive of an inorganic material for improving whiteness is added to the alumina

- the buffer layer 250 according to the second modification of the second embodiment is the same as the buffer layer 250 described in the first modification, and has been described in the first modification. Therefore, the description thereof is omitted here.
- the linear expansion coefficient of sapphire is 7 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 / ° C.
- the alumina wire Since the expansion rate is substantially the same and the thermal expansion and contraction occur synchronously, the mechanical load on the light emitting element 6 due to the thermal expansion and contraction of the insulating reflective layer 24 itself can be almost ignored.
- the mechanical load due to the thermal expansion and contraction of the aluminum base 10 having a linear expansion coefficient of 23 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 6 / ° C. is reduced to the insulating reflection layer 24 through the buffer layer 250 having a smaller linear expansion coefficient than that of the base 10. Therefore, the mechanical load on the light emitting element 6 is remarkably reduced because it is further reduced and transmitted to the light emitting element 6 through the insulating reflection layer 24.
- the intermediate layer 11, the reflective layer 12, and the protective layer 13 are formed on the aluminum substrate 10 (FIG. 4).
- the intermediate layer 11 is formed by the AD method between the aluminum base 10 and the reflective layer 12, and has a high thermal conductivity as an insulating layer.

- the protective layer 13 is an aluminum anodized film (alumite), and is formed on the end surface of the aluminum substrate 10 (reference to FIG. 12C).
- the protective insulating layer 25 can be made sufficiently thicker than the intermediate layer 11 (FIG. 4). Therefore, in the substrate 5 (FIG. 4) according to the first embodiment, the intermediate layer 11 cannot be thickened and is desired. Even when the withstand voltage cannot be ensured, the substrate 5B according to the third embodiment can ensure the desired withstand voltage.

- FIG. 12C is a portion of the cross-sectional view. It is an enlarged view.
- the reflective layer 12 is formed on the surface of the aluminum base 10.
- the reflective layer 12 is made of the same material as the reflective layer 12 described in the first embodiment. Further, as the reflective layer 12, when the base is aluminum, an aluminum base surface subjected to an alumite treatment suitable for high luminance reflection may be used. An electrode pattern 14 is formed on the upper surface of the reflective layer 12.
- the protective insulating layer 25 is formed on the back surface of the aluminum base 10.
- the protective insulating layer 25 is formed on the aluminum base 10 by the same material and the same method as the intermediate layer 11 described in the first embodiment. That is, the protective insulating layer 25 contains ceramics formed by the AD method.
- the protective layer 13 is an anodized film (anodized) formed on the end face of the aluminum substrate 10 by anodizing. Note that the intermediate layer 11 described in the first embodiment is not formed on the substrate 5B.

- the thermal resistance greatly affects the thermal resistance of the entire substrate 5. If it is necessary to make the thickness of the intermediate layer 11 thicker than expected in order to obtain a desired withstand voltage, the thermal resistance may increase more than expected.
- the protective insulating layer 25 may be formed on the lower surface of the aluminum substrate 10 apart from the light emitting element 6 (see FIG. 3) as a heat source instead of the intermediate layer 11.
- the protective insulating layer 25 having a lower thermal conductivity than the aluminum base 10 is formed on the back surface of the aluminum base 10 away from the light emitting element 6 (see FIG. 3), so that the protective insulating layer 25 becomes the intermediate layer 11 (see FIG. 4). ), The thermal resistance of the protective insulating layer 25 can be reduced more than that of the intermediate layer 11.

For this reason, it is possible to increase the withstand voltage by making the thickness of the protective insulating layer 25 sufficiently thicker than when it is used as the intermediate layer 11. At this time, even if the thickness of the protective insulating layer 25 is increased, the influence of the thermal resistance of the protective insulating layer 25 on the thermal resistance of the entire substrate 5B is slight.

- the intermediate layer 311 is formed between the base 302 made of a metal material and the electrode pattern 303 or the reflective layer 312 having light reflectivity.
- the intermediate layer 311 is an insulating layer that is formed on the substrate 302 made of a metal material by the AD method and has good thermal conductivity. Since the intermediate layer 311 does not use a binder that lowers thermal conductivity like glass or resin, it does not impair the high thermal conductivity inherent in ceramics, so it was formed using the binder. Compared to the insulating layer, the same withstand voltage can be realized with a low thermal resistance. Further, since the ceramic layer (intermediate layer 311) formed by the AD method is a dense film typically made of particles having a particle size smaller than 0.1 ⁇ m, the adhesion to the substrate 302 made of a metal material. In addition, the dielectric strength per unit thickness is high. Furthermore, the flatness of the layer (intermediate layer 311) formed by the AD method is also high.
- the ceramic sintered body is directly formed on the aluminum substrate.
- the intermediate layer 311 cannot be formed by sintering, the intermediate layer 311 can be formed on the aluminum substrate by using the AD method.
- the intermediate layer 311 made only of ceramics can be easily formed with high quality without using a binder made of glass or resin.
- the substrate 320 has high heat dissipation and high withstand voltage characteristics. Can be stably provided.
- alumina is desirable because the insulating property and the thermal conductivity are high in a good balance.
- alumina was used as the ceramic used for forming the intermediate layer 311.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and in addition to alumina, aluminum nitride and silicon nitride are preferable because both thermal conductivity and withstand voltage performance are good.
- silicon carbide has high thermal conductivity, and zirconia and titanium oxide have high withstand voltage performance. Therefore, it is preferable to properly use the intermediate layer 311 depending on the purpose and application.
- the ceramics referred to here are not limited to metal oxides, but include ceramics in a broad sense including aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, silicon carbide and the like, that is, inorganic solid materials in general. Of these inorganic solid materials, any material may be used as long as it is a stable material excellent in heat resistance and thermal conductivity and excellent in dielectric strength.
- the intermediate layer 311 is preferably higher than the thermal conductivity of ceramic particles that can be used for the reflective layer 312 described later in detail.
- an insulating layer made of alumina having a higher thermal conductivity than zirconia is used as the intermediate layer 311. This is also because the insulating layer containing zirconia particles is used as the reflective layer 312 in the fourth embodiment.
- Such an insulating layer made of alumina is preferable because both thermal conductivity and withstand voltage performance are good.
- the intermediate layer 311 and the reflection layer 312 described later are both insulating layers, but it is sufficient for the reflection layer 312 having light reflectivity to have a minimum thickness that can ensure the light reflection function.
- the reflective layer 312 having light reflectivity depends on the ceramic material to be mixed and its amount, the reflectance is saturated at a layer thickness of about 10 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m.
- the withstand voltage of the intermediate layer 311 depends on the formation conditions of the insulating layer, the intermediate layer 311 is preferably formed with a layer thickness of 50 ⁇ m or more and 1000 ⁇ m or less, and the reflective layer 312 has a layer thickness of 10 ⁇ m or more. It is preferable to be formed with a thickness of 300 ⁇ m or less. In addition, it is desirable that the thickness of the reflective layer 312 be smaller than the thickness of the intermediate layer 311.
- the intermediate layer 311 is particularly preferably formed with a layer thickness of 50 ⁇ m to 500 ⁇ m.
- the intermediate layer 311 alone can ensure a minimum withstand voltage of 1.5 kV to 3 kV or more, and if formed with a thickness of 500 ⁇ m, With the layer 311 alone, a dielectric breakdown voltage of 7.5 kV to 15 kV can be ensured at a minimum.
- the layer thickness of the intermediate layer 311 is designed so that the withstand voltage between the substrate 302 and the electrode pattern 303 is about 4 kV to 5 kV. Is required. If the thickness of the intermediate layer 311 is at least 300 ⁇ m, a dielectric breakdown voltage of 4.5 kV can be realized.
- the thermal conductivity of the ceramic layer (intermediate layer 311) formed using the AD method is close to the thermal conductivity of the ceramic layer formed by sintering, for example, a value of 10 to 30 W / (m ⁇ ° C.). It is. However, the insulating layer formed by consolidating ceramic particles using a binder made of glass or resin is affected by the low thermal conductivity of glass or resin, and the thermal conductivity is usually around 1 to 3 W / (m ⁇ ° C). It is. As described above, the thermal conductivity of the ceramic layer (intermediate layer 311) formed using the AD method is compared with the thermal conductivity of the insulating layer formed by solidifying ceramic particles using a binder made of glass or resin. Then it can be said that it is an order of magnitude higher.
- the thermal resistance of the insulating layer made of alumina formed by the AD method used as the intermediate layer 311 is about 10 minutes that of the insulating layer formed by solidifying alumina particles with a binder made of glass or resin.
- the former layer thickness of 500 ⁇ m and the latter layer thickness of 50 ⁇ m are approximately the same thermal resistance. If the withstand voltage performance per thickness is the same, even if the former secures a withstand voltage 10 times that of the latter, the heat dissipation is the same.
- the inside of the intermediate layer 311 may be further constituted of a plurality of layers as appropriate.
- the electrode pattern 303 formed on the intermediate layer 311 can be formed by a conventional electrode pattern forming method.
- the electrode pattern is formed of a metal paste for an electrode base.
- a metal paste for an electrode substrate uses an organic substance such as a resin as a binder, which is a cause of low thermal conductivity and high thermal resistance.
- Such a conventional forming method requires printing, drying, and plating of a metal paste.
- a copper conductive layer was formed on the intermediate layer 311 by an AD method to form an electrode pattern 303.
- the substrate 320 since the copper conductive layer is formed directly on the intermediate layer 311 by the AD method, the adhesion between the intermediate layer 311 and the electrode pattern 303 is good. In addition, since a high resistance layer having low thermal conductivity is not interposed therebetween, a substrate 320 having good heat dissipation can be realized.
- the layer thickness of the electrode pattern 303 having a high thermal conductivity In order to increase heat dissipation as the substrate 320, it is effective to increase the layer thickness of the electrode pattern 303 having a high thermal conductivity. However, if the AD method is used, a thick conductive layer can be formed at high speed at room temperature. I can do it.
- the electrode pattern 303 is formed by etching the conductive layer after the conductive layer is formed. Since the surface of the conductive layer formed by using the AD method is flat with few irregularities like the ceramic layer, it is not necessary to perform pretreatment for flattening the surface of the conductive layer by polishing or the like for the purpose of adjusting the etching depth. Even if the etching is performed as it is, the electrode pattern 303 can be removed well, and the formation failure of the electrode pattern 303 and the short circuit between the electrode terminals at the position where the light emitting element 304 is mounted do not occur.
- the formation of the conductive layer may be performed by thermal spraying instead of the AD method.
- thermal spraying tends to form large irregularities on the surface of the conductive layer
- a pretreatment for flattening by polishing or the like is indispensable for cutting out the electrode pattern 303 using etching.
- the material particles become high temperature in the thermal spraying. For this reason, it is necessary to pay attention to suppression of oxidation on the surface of the metal particles.

The upper limit of this thickness is limited by the thickness of the electrode pattern 303. If the copper electrode pattern 303 is exposed, light is absorbed, so that a sufficient thickness is necessary to cover all of the electrode pattern 303 except for the portion that needs to be exposed.
- the reflective layer 312 should also have an optimum thickness of 300 ⁇ m or less in order to cover it.
- the optimum thickness should be 500 ⁇ m or less.

Abstract
Description
例えば、セラミックス基板は、板状のセラミックス基体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、発光素子を基板上に多数並べて、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。
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、発光素子と接続する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。
(照明装置1の構成)
実施形態1について図1~図8に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。
図3(a)は発光装置4の構成を示す平面図であり、(b)は(a)に示す面AAに沿った断面図である。なお、図3では、簡略化のために便宜上発光素子6の数を大幅に省略して描いている。どの図面もそうであるが、寸法、形状、個数などは、必ずしも、実際の基板、発光素子、発光装置と同一ではない。
図4(a)は発光装置4に設けられた基板5の構成を示す平面図であり、(b)は(a)に示す面BBに沿った断面図であり、(c)は上記断面図の部分拡大図である。
アルミニウム基体10としては、例えば、縦50mm、横50mmおよび厚み3mmtのアルミニウム板を用いることができる。アルミニウム材料の長所として、軽量で加工性に優れ、熱伝導率が高いことが挙げられる。アルミニウム基体10には保護層13の形成のための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。
反射層12は、発光素子6(図3参照)からの光を反射する光反射性セラミックスを含有し、絶縁性を有している。このため、反射層12は、発光素子6(図3参照)からの光を反射させる。反射層12は、電極パターン14と中間層11との間、言い換えると、電極パターン14とアルミニウム基体10との間に形成される。反射層12は、ガラス系バインダー、または、耐光・耐熱性を備えた樹脂バインダーに混ぜたセラミックス粒子を乾燥や焼成などにより硬化させて、セラミックス粒子を含む絶縁性反射層として基板5の最外層に形成される。実施形態1では、反射層12は、光反射性セラミックスとガラス質との混合層である。反射層12は、光反射性セラミックスとしてジルコニアを含有し、ガラス系バインダーを用いて焼結などにより形成されている。
中間層11は、AD法によりアルミニウム基体10にセラミックス層を積層することで形成され、絶縁性を有している。言い換えると、中間層11は、AD法により形成したセラミックスを含有する。また、上述したように、反射層12は光反射機能を確保できる必要最低限の厚みとするため、基板5として必要な絶縁耐圧性が不足する場合が考えられる。そこで、中間層11は、その反射層12だけでは不足する絶縁耐圧性を補強する。
AD法とは、あらかじめ他の手法で準備された微粒子、超微粒子原料をガスと混合してエアロゾル化し、ノズルを通して基板に噴射して被膜を形成する技術である。
次に、実施形態1に係る基板5の製造方法を、図6を参照して説明する。図6(a)~(d)は、実施形態1の基板5の製造工程を説明する模式断面図である。
本発明の実施形態1の変形例について、図19に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。図19は実施形態1の基板5の変形例に係る基板5の構成を説明する図である。図19の(a)は実施形態1の変形例に係る基板5の平面図であり、(b)は(a)に示すB-B線矢視断面図であり、(c)は(b)の部分拡大図である。
本発明の実施形態2について図9~図11に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。なお、説明の便宜上、前述した実施形態にて説明した部材と同じ機能を有する部材については、同じ符号を付記し、その説明を省略する。
実施形態2に係る基板5Aの構造を、図9を参照して説明する。
実施形態2に係る基板5Aの製造方法を、図10を参照して説明する。図10(a)~(d)は、実施形態2に係る基板5Aの製造方法を説明するための断面図である。
実施形態2の比較例について、図11に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。図11は実施形態2の基板5Aの比較例を説明する図であり、基板200の断面図であって、発光素子206を搭載した部分の近傍の部分拡大図である。
なお、本実施形態2では図9のようにAD法で形成した絶縁反射層24を一層で構成したが、図4に示す実施形態1の反射層12を本実施の形態2の絶縁反射層24に示したAD法で形成される反射率を高めたセラミックス層で置き換えて、実施の形態1の中間層11上に本実施の形態2の絶縁反射層24を形成した2層構造にしてもよい。すなわち、中間層11と反射層12とでセラミックスの材料あるいは組成を変える構成としてもよい。中間層11と反射層12とを比較した場合、熱伝導率では、前者が後者に比べ高く、光反射率では、後者が前者よりも高くなるようにしてもよい。この場合、中間層11と反射層12はともにAD法で形成される。例えば、反射層12の母材としてアルミナのセラミックスを用いる場合、アルミナに白色度を向上させるための無機材料の添加剤を添加するが、反射層12の母材として酸化チタンのセラミックスを用いる場合、酸化チタンは白色度の高いセラミックスであるため、単独で使用し添加剤を用いなくてもよい。また、反射層12の厚みを中間層11の厚みよりも薄くする事が望ましい。
本発明の実施形態2の変形例2について、図20に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。図20は実施形態2の基板5Aの変形例2に係る基板5Aの構成を説明する図である。図20の(a)は、実施形態2の変形例2に係る基板5Aの平面図であり、(b)は(a)に示すC-C線矢視断面図であり、(c)は(b)の部分拡大図である。
本発明の実施形態3について図12及び図13に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。なお、説明の便宜上、前述した実施形態にて説明した部材と同じ機能を有する部材については、同じ符号を付記し、その説明を省略する。
実施形態3に係る基板5Bの構成を、図12を参照して説明する。図12(a)は実施形態3に係る基板5Bの構成を示す平面図であり、(b)は(a)に示す面DDに沿った断面図であり、(c)は上記断面図の部分拡大図である。
実施形態3に係る基板5Bの製造方法を、図13を参照して説明する。図13(a)~(d)は、実施形態3に係る基板5Bの製造方法を説明するための断面図である。
本発明の実施形態3の変形例について、図21に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。図21は実施形態3の変形例に係る基板5Bの構成を説明する図である。図21の(a)は、実施形態3の変形例に係る基板5Bの平面図であり、(b)は(a)のD-D線矢視断面図であり、(c)は(b)の部分拡大図である。
本発明の実施形態4について図14~図18に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。なお、説明の便宜上、前述した実施形態にて説明した部材と同じ機能を有する部材については、同じ符号を付記し、その説明を省略する。
以下、図15に基づいて、基板320に備えられた各層について説明する。
実施形態4においては、金属材料からなる基体302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、実施形態4においては、比較的低い温度で、基体302上に、中間層311と、電極パターン303と、光反射性を有する反射層312とを形成することができるので、金属材料からなる基体302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、銅基体なども用いることができ、金属材料からなる基体302として選択できる材質の幅が広い。
本実施形態においては、図15に図示されているように、(発光装置用)基板320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中間層311が、金属材料からなる基体302と、電極パターン303または光反射性を有する反射層312との間に形成されている。
中間層311上に形成する電極パターン303は、従来の電極パターンの形成方法で形成することもできるが、従来の電極パターンの形成方法を用いた場合、電極パターンは、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。このような従来の形成方法では、金属ペーストの印刷、乾燥、メッキ処理が必要である。
図15に図示されているように、基板320においては、電極パターン303の一部が露出するように、中間層311の上および電極パターン303の一部の上に光反射性を有する反射層312が形成されている。
図15では、発光素子304が、基板320に搭載され、パッケージ化されている。ここでは、発光素子304が、フリップチップボンディングにより、電極パターン303の端子部分と電気的に接続されている。電気的接続を取るために、はんだやバンプあるいは金属ペーストなど一般的に用いられる手法を適用すればよい。
以下、図16および図17に基づいて、発光装置用の基板320の製造工程について説明する。
次に、図18に基づいて、実施形態4に係る比較例について説明する。比較例において説明する発光装置用の基板320Aにおいては、中間層311が、溶射アルミナ層311Bと、溶射アルミナ層311を被覆するアルミナ含有ガラス層である平坦化層311Cとで置き換えられている点において実施形態4で説明した発光装置用の基板320とは異なる。なお、説明の便宜上、上記実施形態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4の変形例について、図22に基づいて説明すれば、以下のとおりである。図22は実施形態4の基板320の変形例に係る基板320の構成を説明する図である。図22は、実施形態4の変形例に係る発光装置301に設けられた基板(発光装置用基板)320と発光素子304との構成を示す断面図である。
実施形態1から4のそれぞれの変形例に示した発光装置用基板に用いられる緩衝層250は、金属あるいは合金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。
前記市販の放熱基板用絶縁シートは、セラミックス粒子にエポキシ系樹脂をバインダーとして用いることで、線膨脹率の値が10×10-6-15×10-6/℃であって、アルミニウムの線膨脹率23×10-6/℃および代表的なセラミックス材料であるアルミナの線膨脹率7×10-6/℃の中間の線膨脹率を示す。また、熱伝導率5W/(m・K)、100μmの厚みにおける絶縁耐圧性は5kV以上の優れた熱伝導性、絶縁耐圧性を示している。
実施形態1から4のように、金属基体上にAD法を用いて緻密で高品質なセラミックス層を形成する利点としては、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との間の線膨張率の差を埋める緩衝層として上記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。
本発明の態様1に係る発光装置用基板(基板5)は、金属材料を含む基体(アルミニウム基体10)と、前記基体(アルミニウム基体10)の一方の面(表面)側に形成されて熱伝導性を有する第1絶縁層(中間層11)と、前記第1絶縁層(中間層11)の上に形成された光反射性を有する第2絶縁層(反射層12)と、前記第2絶縁層(反射層12)の上に形成された配線パターン(電極パターン14)とを備え、前記第1絶縁層(中間層11)は、エアロゾルデポジション法により形成されたセラミックスからなり、前記第2絶縁層(反射層12)の絶縁耐圧性能を補強する。
