ALUMINUM-SILICON CARBIDE COMPOSITE BODY AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING THE SAME

摘要

An aluminum-silicon carbide composite suitable as e.g. a base plate for power module is provided. An aluminum-silicon carbide composite comprising a flat plate-shaped silicon carbide porous body infiltrated with a metal containing aluminum as the main component, aluminum layers made of a material containing aluminum as the main component formed on both principal planes of the porous body, wherein the aluminum-silicon carbide composite has side faces formed by abrasive jet fabrication and the side faces do not have the aluminum layers made of a metal containing aluminum as the main component.
