Abstract

Un substrat de dissipation de chaleur comprend : un matériau de base central en forme de plaque comprenant du Mo, dans lequel est formé un trou traversant qui traverse dans le sens de l'épaisseur ; un corps d'insertion remplissant l'intérieur du trou traversant et comprenant du Cu et n'ayant pas de vides ; une première couche de jonction formée de façon continue ou discontinue entre la surface de paroi interne du trou traversant et le corps d'insertion, la première couche de liaison comprenant du Ni et n'ayant pas de vides ; une couche thermoconductrice formée sur les surfaces avant et arrière du matériau de base central, la couche thermoconductrice comprenant uniquement du Cu et n'ayant pas de vides ; et une seconde couche de jonction formée de façon continue ou discontinue sur la surface d'interface entre le matériau de base central et la couche thermoconductrice, la seconde couche de jonction comprenant du Ni et n'ayant pas de vides. La valeur maximale du coefficient de dilatation linéaire du substrat de dissipation de chaleur dans la plage de température allant de la température ambiante à 800 °C est inférieure ou égale à 10 ppm/K, la conductivité thermique dans la direction perpendiculaire à la surface à température ambiante est supérieure ou égale à 200 W/m∙K, et la conductivité thermique dans la direction perpendiculaire à la surface est supérieure ou égale à 200 W/m∙K après réalisation d'un test de cycle thermique dans lequel le chauffage à 250 °C et le refroidissement à -40 °C sont répétés 100 fois.
