Generally, the ceramic substrate 10 is formed by virtue of a conventional ceramic-making process (e.g., tape casting, slip casting, or pressing). However, the ceramic substrate 10 made by the conventional ceramic-making process has a thickness larger than 0.2 mm such that the ceramic substrate 10 is too thick for the horizontally structured LED 91 in terms of heat-dissipation. The ceramic substrate 10 is unable to efficiently transfer heat generated by the horizontally structured LED 91, thereby reducing the service life of the electronic component and adversely affecting the efficiency of the electronic component.

    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Before the present invention is described in greater detail, it should be noted that the same reference numerals have been used to denote like elements throughout the specification.
  • Referring to FIG. 3, the first preferred embodiment of a ceramic circuit board according to the present invention is adapted to be electrically connected to at least one electronic element, such as a horizontally structured light emitting diode (LED) 91, and includes a ceramic-copper plate and a heat-dissipating unit 5.
  • The ceramic-copper plate includes a ceramic substrate 2 that has opposite first and second surfaces 21,22, and a through-hole 20 formed through the first and second surfaces 21,22, a top copper pattern 3 that overlies the first surface 21 of the ceramic substrate 2 and that has two conducting portions 32 spaced apart from each other, and a bottom copper layer 4 that underlies the second surface 22 of the ceramic substrate 2. The top copper pattern 3 further has a gap 31 that separates the two conducting portions 32 and that completely exposes the through-hole 20 of the ceramic substrate 2. It should be noted that the top copper pattern 3 might have more than two conducting portions 32 spaced apart from each other so as to be electrically connected to a plurality of electronic elements.
  • The heat-dissipating unit 5 is adapted for dissipating heat from the electronic element (e.g., the horizontally structured LED 91), and includes a heat-dissipating layer 51 that is disposed in the through-hole 20 of the ceramic substrate 2 above the bottom copper layer 4. The heat-dissipating unit 5 further includes a ceramic layer 52 that lies between the heat-dissipating layer 51 and the bottom copper layer 4 of the ceramic-copper plate. The ceramic layer 52 may be made from Al2O3, AlN, or TiO2.
  • When the first preferred embodiment of the ceramic circuit board is used for an electronic element (such as the horizontally structured LED 91) that has an insulating bottom portion, the ceramic layer 52 is not required. When the first preferred embodiment of the ceramic circuit board is used for an electronic element (such as a vertically structured LED or a concentrator photovoltaic cell) that has a conductible bottom portion, the ceramic layer 52 is required.
  • In order to increase heat-dissipating efficiency of the ceramic circuit board, preferably, the heat-dissipating layer 51 has a thermal conductivity larger than that of the ceramic substrate 2 of the ceramic-copper plate, and the ceramic layer 52 of the heat-dissipating unit 5 has a thickness (d) smaller than a thickness (D) of the ceramic substrate 2 of the ceramic-copperplate. Generally, the thickness (D) of the ceramic substrate 2 of the ceramic-copper plate is larger than 0.2 mm. When the thickness (d) of the ceramic layer 52 of the heat-dissipating unit 5 is not sufficient, internal pores of the ceramic layer 52 may greatly reduce breakdown voltage of the ceramic layer 52. Therefore, preferably, the thickness (d) of the ceramic layer 52 ranges from 0.02 mm to 0.2 mm. The thermal conductivity of the heat-dissipating layer 51 is larger than 170 Wm−1K−1. The heat-dissipating layer 51 may be made of copper having a thermal conductivity of about 401 Wm−1K−1, a Cu/W alloy having a thermal conductivity of about 209 Wm−1K−1, or a Cu/Mo alloy having a thermal conductivity of about 184 Wm−1K−1.
  • The ceramic layer 52 of the heat-dissipating unit 5 may be formed by a thermal spraying technique or a plasma spraying technique. The heat-dissipating layer 51 in this embodiment is made of copper. The ceramic layer 52 of the heat-dissipating unit 5 and the bottom copper layer 4 of the ceramic-copper plate are sinter-bonded (e.g., eutectic bonding) to each other by virtue of a heat treatment at a temperature, which is lower than the melting point of copper (about 1083° C.) and higher than the eutectic temperature of the copper-copper oxide eutectic (about 1065° C.).
  • Referring to FIGS. 4, 5, and 7, a method of making the ceramic circuit board includes: (a) providing the ceramic-copper plate that includes a top copper layer 3′ and the bottom copper layer 4, the ceramic substrate 2 between the top and bottom copper layers 3′4, and the through-hole 20 formed in the ceramic substrate 2; and (b) providing the heat-dissipating unit 5 on the bottom copper layer 4 and within the through-hole 20 for dissipating heat from the electronic element.
  • Referring to FIG. 4, the first preferred embodiment of the method according to the present invention is conducted to make the ceramic circuit board as shown in FIG. 3, and step (a) thereof includes: (a1) forming the through-hole 20 that extends through the first and second surfaces 21,22 of the ceramic substrate 2; (a2) sinter-bonding the top and bottom copper layers 3′, 4 respectively to the first and second surfaces 21,22 of the ceramic substrate 2 after step (a1); and (a3) patterning the top copper layer 3′ to form the two conducting portions 32, and the gap 31 that separates the two conducting portions 32 and that completely expose the through-hole 20 after step (a2). In step (b) of the first preferred embodiment of the method, the heat-dissipating unit 5 is provided on the bottom copper layer 4 in the through-hole 20 of the ceramic substrate 2 via a sinter-bonding process.
  • In this embodiment, step (a1) may be performed using CO2 laser having power larger than 100 W so as to cut the ceramic substrate 2, thereby forming the through-hole 20. Step (a1) of the first preferred embodiment of the method is suitable to form the through-hole 20 that has a small size. A cross-section of the through-hole 20 may be square, circular, or polygonal. If the size of the through-hole 20 is unduly large, the ceramic substrate 2 may be damaged since both of the top and bottom copper layers 3′, 4 may go through expansion and contraction during step (a2) such that both of the top and bottom copper layers 3′, 4 may exert thermal stress on the ceramic substrate 2, and the top copper layer 3′ may be deformed such that the quality of the top copper pattern 3 may be influenced. Consequently, preferably, the first preferred embodiment of the method is conducted to form the through-hole 20 having the size that is approximately smaller than 5 mm.
  • Referring to FIG. 5, the second preferred embodiment of the method according to the present invention is performed to make the ceramic circuit board as shown in FIG. 3 as well, and step (a) thereof includes: (a1) sinter-bonding the top copper layer 3′ to the first surface 21 of the ceramic substrate 2; (a2) patterning the top copper layer 3′ to form the two conducting portions 32 and the gap 31 that separates the two conducting portions 32 after step (a1); (a3) forming the through-hole 20 in the ceramic substrate 2 after step (a2); and (a4) sinter-bonding the bottom copper layer 4 to the second surface 22 of the ceramic substrate 2 opposite to the first surface 21 through the heat treatment after step (a3). Instep (b) of the second preferred embodiment of the method, the heat-dissipating unit 5 is provided on thebottomcopper layer 4 in the through-hole 20 of the ceramic substrate 2 via a sinter-bonding process. In this embodiment, steps (a4) and (b) are conducted together after step (a3).
  • Since step (a2) (formation of the top copper pattern 3) is performed before step (a3) (formation of the through-hole 20), in steps (a4) and (b), thermal stress exerted by the top copper pattern 3 and the bottom copper layer 4 is smaller than the aforementioned thermal stress exerted by the larger top copper layer 3′ and the bottom copper layer 4. Therefore, step (a3) of the second preferred embodiment of the method is suitable to form the through-hole 20 having a larger size compared to step (a2) of the first preferred embodiment of the method. Preferably, the second preferred embodiment of the method is conducted to form the through-hole 20 having the size larger than 5 mm. In contrast with the through-hole 20 formed using the first preferred embodiment of the method, the larger through-hole 20 formed by virtue of the second preferred embodiment of the method is able to accommodate the larger heat-dissipating unit 5. Thus, the heat generated by the electronic element (e.g., the horizontally structured LED 91 as shown in FIG. 3) can be more efficiently dissipated.
  • Referring to FIG. 6, the second preferred embodiment of the ceramic circuit board according to the present invention is similar to the first preferred embodiment except that the gap 31 of the top copper pattern 3 partially exposes the through-hole 20 of the ceramic substrate 2 and that one of the conducting portions 32 of the top copper pattern 3 contacts the heat-dissipating layer 51 of the heat-dissipating unit 5. Namely, the heat-dissipating layer 51 is hidden between the top copper pattern 3 and the bottom copper layer 4. The second preferred embodiment of the ceramic circuit board of this invention is adapted for both of the horizontally structured LED 91 (see FIG. 3) and a vertically structured LED 92.
  • Referring to FIG. 7, the third preferred embodiment of the method according to the present invention is conducted to make the ceramic circuit board as shown in FIG. 6, and step (a) thereof includes: (a1) forming the through-hole 20 extending through the opposite first and second surfaces 21,22 of the ceramic substrate 2; (a2) sinter-bonding the top and bottom copper layers 3′,4 respectively to the first and second surfaces 21,22 of the ceramic substrate 2 via the heat treatment after step (a1); and (a3) patterning the top copper layer 3′ to form the two conducting portions 32. Step (b) of the third preferred embodiment of the method includes sinter-bonding the heat-dissipating unit 5 to the bottom copper layer 4 in the through-hole 20 of the ceramic substrate 2 simultaneously with step (a2) via the heat treatment. In this embodiment, when steps (a2) and (b) are conducted together, the heat-dissipating unit 5 is sinter-bonded to both of the top and bottom copper layers 3′,4. Compared to the ceramic substrate 10 of the conventional ceramic circuit board 1, by virtue of the heat-dissipating unit 5 that has the heat-dissipating layer 51 with larger thermal conductivity and the ceramic layer 52 with the smaller thickness (d), the ceramic circuit board of this invention is able to efficiently dissipate the heat from the electronic element, thereby increasing the service life and the efficiency of the electronic element.
  • While the present invention has been described in connection with what are considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is understood that this invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation and equivalent arrangements.
