Abstract

Provided with an insulation circuit board in which a circuit layer is joined to one side of a ceramic substrate and a metal layer made of aluminum or aluminum alloy is joined to the other side of the ceramic substrate, and a heat sink joined to the metal layer; the heat sink has a first metal layer made of copper joined to the metal layer, a ceramic board material joined to the first metal layer at an opposite side to the metal layer, and a second metal layer made of copper or copper alloy joined to an opposite side of the ceramic board material to the first metal layer; and a thickness T1 of the first metal layer is 0.3 mm to 3.0 mm inclusive and equal to or more than a thickness T2 of the second metal layer.

Claims (18)

1. An insulation circuit board with a heat sink, comprising an insulation circuit board provided with a ceramic substrate, a circuit layer joined to one side of the ceramic substrate, and a metal layer made of aluminum or aluminum alloy, which is joined to the other side of the ceramic substrate; and a heat sink joined to the metal layer, wherein

the heat sink includes a first metal layer with a thickness T1 made of copper or copper alloy joined to the metal layer, a ceramic board material joined to an opposite side surface of the first metal layer to the metal layer, and a second metal layer with a thickness T2 made of copper or copper alloy joined to an opposite side surface to the first metal layer of the ceramic board material, and

the thickness Ti of the first metal layer is not less than 1.0 mm and not more than 3.0 mm, and a thickness ratio T1/T2 is 1.0 or more.

2. The insulation circuit board with a heat sink according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness ratio T1/T2 is not more than 10.0.
