Submount and semiconductor device

摘要

A submount can mount on it a semiconductor light-emitting device with high bonding strength, and a semiconductor unit incorporates the submount. The submount comprises (a) a submount substrate, (b) a solder layer formed at the top surface of the submount substrate, and (c) a solder intimate-contact layer that is formed between the submount substrate and the solder layer and that has a structure in which a transition element layer consisting mainly of at least one type of transition element and a precious metal layer consisting mainly of at least one type of precious metal are piled up. In the above structure, the transition element layer is formed at the submount-substrate side. The semiconductor unit is provided with a semiconductor light-emitting device mounted on the solder layer of the submount.
