Abstract

A columnar metal component includes a first main surface, and a second main surface on an opposite side to the first main surface. The first main surface includes a first groove. The metal component includes a through-hole penetrating the metal component from the first main surface to the second main surface.

Claims (29)

1. A columnar metal component comprising:

a first main surface; and

a second main surface on an opposite side to the first main surface,

wherein the first main surface includes a first groove,

wherein the columnar metal component includes a through-hole penetrating the columnar metal component from the first main surface to the second main surface, and

wherein in the first main surface, positions of the first groove and the through-hole are misaligned to each other.

2. The columnar metal component according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a side surface including a second groove connecting to the first main surface and the second main surface.

3. The columnar metal component according to claim 2 , wherein the first groove and the second groove are connected.

4. The columnar metal component according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the first groove extend radially from a center to an outer edge on the first main surface.

5. A ceramic substrate comprising:

a ceramic insulating base material;

a conductive layer provided on one surface of the ceramic insulating base material;

an insulating layer provided on the one surface of the ceramic insulating base material and covering the conductive layer, the insulating layer including an opening portion for exposing a part of the conductive layer;

a columnar metal component disposed in the opening portion, the columnar metal component comprising:

a first main surface including a first groove; and

a second main surface on an opposite side to the first main surface,

wherein the columnar metal component includes a through-hole penetrating the columnar metal component from the first main surface to the second main surface; and,

a solder bonding layer bonding the first main surface of the metal component to the conductive layer.

6. The ceramic substrate according to claim 5 , wherein a first gap exists between the columnar metal component and an inner wall surface of the opening portion.

7. The ceramic substrate according to claim 5 , wherein the conductive layer has a convex portion protruding into the opening portion, and

wherein a second gap exists between the convex portion and an inner wall surface of the opening portion.

8. The ceramic substrate according to claim 7 , wherein the convex portion includes a third groove formed in a surface of the convex portion facing the columnar metal component.

9. The ceramic substrate according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a side surface including a second groove connecting to the first main surface and the second main surface.

10. The ceramic substrate according to claim 9 , wherein the first groove and the second groove are connected.

11. The ceramic substrate according to claim 5 , wherein in the first main surface, positions of the first groove and the through-hole are misaligned to each other.

12. The ceramic substrate according to claim 5 , wherein in the first main surface, positions of the first groove and the through-hole overlap each other.

13. The ceramic substrate according to claim 5 , wherein a plurality of the first groove extend radially from a center to an outer edge on the first main surface.
