Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wavelength conversion member, a light source device, and a method for manufacturing the wavelength conversion member.
- the wavelength conversion member is generally composed of a phosphor that converts the wavelength of incident light, a heat radiating member, and a solder layer that joins the phosphor and the heat radiating member, and dissipates the heat of the phosphor by the heat radiating member.
- the voids contained in the solder cause a decrease in thermal conductivity between the phosphor and the heat radiating member.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a technique in which the size of voids contained in a solder layer is set to a specified value or less.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a technique of forming a solder layer on the surface and the side surface of the phosphor on the heat radiating member side to increase the contact area between the phosphor and the solder layer.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and in the wavelength conversion member, both the improvement of the thermal conductivity between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member and the suppression of damage to the ceramic phosphor are achieved.
- the purpose is to provide technology.
- the present invention has been made to solve at least a part of the above-mentioned problems, and can be realized as the following forms.
- a wavelength conversion member comprises a ceramic phosphor that converts the wavelength of incident light, a heat radiation member that emits heat from the ceramic phosphor to the outside, and a solder layer that joins the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiation member.
- the solder layer includes a joint portion arranged between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member, and a protruding portion protruding outward from the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic phosphor, and the protruding portion includes a protruding portion.
- the maximum value of the thickness of the protruding portion of the solder layer is larger than the average value of the thickness of the joint portion, which is separated from the side surface formed on the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic phosphor.
- the maximum value of the protruding portion is larger than the average value of the thickness of the joint portion.
- the protruding portion is formed by extruding the solder between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member to the outside of the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic phosphor when the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member are joined. At this time, the voids in the solder between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member move from between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member together with the extruded solder, and float in the solder outside the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic phosphor. ..
- the number of voids in the joint portion is smaller than in the case where the voids do not move, so that the heat transfer between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member is less likely to be blocked by the voids. Therefore, the thermal conductivity between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member can be improved. Further, the protruding portion is separated from the side surface of the ceramic phosphor, and does not restrain the ceramic phosphor even if it shrinks when the temperature is lowered after the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member are joined. As a result, it is possible to prevent the ceramic phosphor from being damaged by the shrinkage of the solder layer.
- a wavelength conversion member comprises a ceramic phosphor that converts the wavelength of incident light, a heat radiation member that emits heat from the ceramic phosphor to the outside, and a solder layer that joins the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiation member.
- the solder layer includes a joint portion arranged between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member, and a protruding portion protruding outward from the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic phosphor, and includes the joint portion of the joint portion.
- the void ratio is smaller than the void ratio of the protruding portion.
- the void ratio of the joint portion is smaller than the void ratio of the protruding portion.
- the void ratio is a solder layer on a virtual plane when a part of the solder layer and a void included in a part of the solder layer are projected on a virtual plane perpendicular to the central axis of the wavelength conversion member. Refers to the ratio of the area of the void projection to the area of a part of the projection.
- a wavelength conversion member includes a ceramic phosphor that converts the wavelength of incident light, a heat radiation member that emits heat from the ceramic phosphor to the outside, and a solder layer that joins the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiation member.
- the solder layer includes a joint portion arranged between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member, and a protruding portion protruding outward from the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic phosphor, at the joint portion.
- the void ratio of the central portion through which the central axis of the wavelength conversion member passes is smaller than the void ratio of other portions of the joint portion other than the central portion.
- the central portion of the joint portion is located between the central portion of the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member, which generate a large amount of heat because it is easily irradiated with light.
- the void ratio of the central portion of the joint portion is smaller than the void ratio of the portion excluding the central portion of the joint portion.
- the protruding portion may be formed so as to surround the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic phosphor over the entire circumference.
- the solder between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member protrudes over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic phosphor.
- the distance that the void between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member moves to the outside of the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic phosphor is when the protruding portion is formed so as to surround a part of the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic phosphor.
- the number of voids at the junction is even smaller because it is shorter than the other. Therefore, the thermal conductivity between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member can be further improved.
- the maximum value of the thickness of the protruding portion may be 2 times or more and 10 times or less the average value of the thickness of the joint portion.
- the height of the protruding portion from the heat radiating member may be lower than the height of the incident surface on which the light of the ceramic phosphor is incident from the heat radiating member. According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the emission of light from the ceramic phosphor from being hindered by the protruding portion in which the maximum value of the thickness is larger than the average value of the thickness of the joint portion.
- a light source device includes the wavelength conversion member described above and a light source that irradiates a ceramic phosphor with light. According to this configuration, the light source device emits light having a wavelength different from the wavelength of the light irradiated to the ceramic phosphor by the light source to the outside.
- the number of voids contained in the joint portion of the solder layer between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiation member is relatively small, so that the ceramic phosphor in the joint portion The heat conduction between the heat radiation member and the heat radiation member is not easily blocked by the void.
- a method for manufacturing a wavelength conversion member includes a preparatory step of preparing a ceramic phosphor that converts the wavelength of incident light and a heat radiation member to be bonded to the ceramic phosphor, and a solder layer for the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiation member.
- a joining step of joining and a processing step of processing the solder layer after the joining step are provided.
- the solder layer is arranged between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member.
- a portion and a protruding portion that protrudes outward from the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic phosphor and the maximum value of the thickness is larger than the average value of the thickness of the joint portion are formed, and in the processing step, the ceramic of the protruding portion is formed. At least a part including a portion separated from the side surface formed on the outer peripheral portion of the phosphor is removed.
- the voids in the solder between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member move from between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member together with the solder, and on the outside of the outer peripheral portion of the ceramic phosphor. It floats in the solder.
- the number of voids in the joint portion is smaller than in the case where the voids do not move, so that the thermal conductivity between the ceramic phosphor and the heat radiating member can be improved.
- damage to the ceramic phosphor due to shrinkage of the solder layer can be suppressed by performing processing to remove at least a part of the protruding portion including a portion separated from the side surface of the ceramic phosphor. ..
- the present invention can be realized in various aspects, for example, a light emitting system using a wavelength conversion member or a light source device, a method for manufacturing a light source device or a light emitting system, and manufacturing a wavelength conversion member or a light source device. It can be realized in the form of a computer program to be executed by a computer, a server device for distributing the computer program, a non-temporary storage medium for storing the computer program, or the like.

- Element B Al (However, Ga may be further contained as element B)
- a metal film (not shown) is arranged on the main surface 12 of the ceramic phosphor 10 on the heat radiating member 20 side. Since this metal film has good solder wettability, it enhances the adhesion between the ceramic phosphor 10 and the solder layer 30, and also reflects the light transmitted through the ceramic phosphor 10 and the light generated by the ceramic phosphor 10. The luminous efficiency of the wavelength conversion member 1 is improved.
