Abstract

Provided is a heat dissipation member according to the present invention that includes a flat metal-silicon carbide composite containing aluminum, the heat dissipation member including: at least one through hole that penetrates the flat metal-silicon carbide composite in a plate thickness direction; a tapered portion where an inner diameter of the through hole gradually increases toward an outer side in a periphery of one or both end portions of the through hole; a metal portion containing aluminum that is formed on an inner surface of the through hole; and a screw hole that is formed in the metal portion.

Claims (22)

1 . A heat dissipation member that includes a flat metal-silicon carbide composite containing aluminum, the heat dissipation member comprising:

at least one through hole that penetrates the flat metal-silicon carbide composite in a plate thickness direction;

a tapered portion where an inner diameter of the through hole gradually increases toward an outer side in a periphery of one or both end portions of the through hole;

a metal portion containing aluminum that is formed on an inner surface of the through hole; and

a screw hole that is formed in the metal portion;

wherein an angle of the tapered portion is equal to or more than 0.2° and equal to or less than 7°.

2 . The heat dissipation member according to claim 1 ,

wherein when a maximum hole diameter of the through hole is represented by D 1 and a hole diameter of the screw hole is represented by D 2 , D 2 /D 1 satisfies equal to or more than 0.1 and equal to or less than 0.9.

3 . The heat dissipation member according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a plating layer that is formed on a surface of the metal portion in the screw hole.

4 . The heat dissipation member according to claim 3 ,

wherein in a cross-sectional view of the through hole, when a thickness of the metal portion is represented by W 1 and a thickness of the plating layer in the screw hole is represented by W 2 , W 2 /W 1 satisfies equal to or more than 0.001 and equal to or less than 0.04.

5 . The heat dissipation member according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a plating layer that is formed on a main surface side of the heat dissipation member.

6 . The heat dissipation member according to claim 5 ,

wherein the plating layer is formed of a Ni plating layer containing Ni element.

7 . The heat dissipation member according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a metal layer that is provided on a main surface of the heat dissipation member and contains aluminum.

8 . The heat dissipation member according claim 1 ,

wherein an average thermal expansion coefficient of the heat dissipation member at 25° C. to 150° C. is equal to or more than 4 ppm/K and equal to or less than 12 ppm/K.

9 . The heat dissipation member according to claim 1 ,

wherein a thermal conductivity of the heat dissipation member in a plate thickness direction at 25° C. is equal to or more than 150 W/m·K and equal to or less than 300 W/m·K.
