Abstract

A ceramic scribe substrate according to the present embodiment includes a continuous groove having multiple grooves connected to each other formed by fiber laser irradiation on a surface portion of a scribe line shaping a ceramic substrate. The continuous groove has a depth of more than 50 μm within a range of 0.15 times or more and 0.55 times or less a thickness of the ceramic substrate.

Claims (22)

1 . A ceramic scribe substrate comprising a continuous groove having multiple grooves connected to each other formed by fiber laser irradiation on a surface portion of a scribe line shaping a ceramic substrate, wherein

the continuous groove has a depth of more than 50 μm within a range of 0.15 times or more and 0.55 times or less a thickness of the ceramic substrate.

2 . The ceramic scribe substrate according to claim 1 , comprising a group of non-continuous grooves having multiple grooves not connected to each other formed by fiber laser irradiation on a deeper portion of the scribe line.

3 . The ceramic scribe substrate according to claim 2 , wherein the group of non-continuous grooves has a depth greater than 0 and 0.45 times or less the thickness of the ceramic substrate.

4 . The ceramic scribe substrate according to claim 2 , wherein the group of non-continuous grooves has a distance between adjacent grooves of 10 μm or more and 100 μm or less.

5 . The ceramic scribe substrate according to claim 2 , wherein each groove of the group of non-continuous grooves has a width of 5 μm or more and 50 μm or less.

6 . The ceramic scribe substrate according to claim 1 , wherein a difference in brightness between a laser irradiation mark of the continuous groove and a surface of the ceramic substrate is 5 or less.

7 . The ceramic scribe substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic substrate is a silicon nitride substrate or an aluminum nitride substrate.

8 . A ceramic substrate comprising a continuous groove having multiple grooves connected to each other formed by fiber laser irradiation on a surface portion of at least one of four side scribe lines, wherein

the continuous groove has a depth of more than 50 μm within a range of 0.15 times or more and 0.55 times or less a thickness of the ceramic substrate.

9 . The ceramic substrate according to claim 8 , wherein the ceramic substrate comprises a group of non-continuous grooves having multiple grooves not connected to each other formed by fiber laser irradiation on a deeper portion of the scribe line.

10 . A method for manufacturing a ceramic scribe substrate, comprising forming the continuous groove on a surface portion of a substrate by a fiber laser, followed by forming a group of non-continuous grooves having multiple grooves not connected to each other on the deeper portion by a fiber laser so as to generate the ceramic scribe substrate according to claim 1 .

11 . A method for manufacturing a ceramic substrate, comprising applying a stress to the ceramic scribe substrate according to claim 1 to divide the ceramic scribe substrate along the scribe line, thereby manufacturing a ceramic substrate.

12 . A method for manufacturing a ceramic circuit board, comprising the method for manufacturing a ceramic substrate according to claim 11 , wherein

a metal circuit is bonded to the ceramic substrate to manufacture a ceramic circuit board.

13 . A method for manufacturing a ceramic circuit board, comprising:

bonding a metal circuit to the ceramic scribe substrate according to claim 1 ; and

applying a stress to the ceramic scribe substrate to which the metal circuit is bonded to divide the ceramic scribe substrate along the scribe line, thereby manufacturing a ceramic circuit board.

14 . The method for manufacturing a ceramic circuit board according to claim 12 , comprising bonding the metal circuit to a surface of the ceramic substrate opposite to a surface where the scribe line is formed.

15 . A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising the method for manufacturing a ceramic circuit board according to claim 12 , wherein

a semiconductor element is mounted on the ceramic circuit board to manufacture a semiconductor device.

16 . The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to claim 15 , wherein the ceramic substrate, the metal circuit, and the semiconductor element is integrated by resin molding.
