Description
本発明は、放熱板、電子機器に関する。

電子部品を搭載し、電子部品で発生する熱を放熱できる放熱板として、特許文献1に記載されている放熱板が知られている。特許文献1に記載されている放熱板では、アルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金からなる基体の周囲に絶縁層が形成されている。また、特許文献1に記載されている放熱板では、絶縁層が、その内部に独立ポアが散在する多孔質構造のセラミックス保護膜からなる。内部に独立ポアが散在している状態とは、開口部を有しない穴であって、その最大長さ(穴内壁間の最大距離)が0.5μm以上の穴が複数観察される状態をいう。このようなセラミックス保護膜は、基体とセラミックス保護膜との熱膨張係数の差に起因する応力を吸収することができ、高温にしてもセラミックス保護膜に割れ(クラック)が発生しにくい。
A heat sink described in
特許文献1のセラミックス保護膜は、独立ポアが散在した多孔質構造を有する。そのため、熱伝導性が悪く、放熱性が低い。また、このセラミックス保護膜は、酸素プラズマと基体の金属イオンとが反応して生成される。酸素プラズマと金属イオンとの反応で発生するガスによって独立ポアが生成されるが、独立ポアの生成条件を精密にコントロールすることは難しい。特許文献1によれば、セラミックス保護膜の厚みは、5μm以上とされている。これは、このセラミックス保護膜の膜厚むらを小さくして安定した絶縁性を得ることが困難なためであると解される。しかし、セラミックス保護膜の放熱性を高めるためには、セラミックス保護膜の厚みは薄いほど良い。よって、特許文献1の放熱板では十分な放熱性が得られない。

[放熱板]
図1は、放熱板の第1形態である放熱板4の概略断面図である。
[Heatsink]
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a
放熱板4は、基体1をコアとして含む。基体1は、熱伝導性を有するものであれば、特に限定されず、ガラスやフィルムの表面に金属皮膜を形成したものや、アルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金などからなる金属板を用いることができる。アルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金からなる金属板は、熱伝導率が高く、安価に入手が可能であり、陽極酸化によって容易に表面にセラミック保護膜2を形成できるため、基体1の材料として好適である。
The
基体1の表面には、セラミック保護膜2が形成されている。セラミックス保護膜2は、基体1の外面全体を覆っている。セラミック保護膜2は、放熱板4の耐食性、耐摩耗性、電気絶縁性などを高めるための保護膜として機能する。セラミック保護膜2は、内部に空孔を有しないセラミックス皮膜である。内部に空孔を有しないとは、セラミック保護膜2が多孔質構造を有しないことを意味する。多孔質構造とは、特許文献1のようにセラミック保護膜内に独立ポアが散在した構造のほか、セラミック保護膜の膜厚方向に延びる多数の空孔がセラミック保護膜の膜面方向に規則的に配列したホールアレイ構造を含む。
A ceramic
例えば、アルミニウムを硫酸、シュウ酸、リン酸などの酸性電解液中でプラスに分極し陽極酸化すると、表面に多数の空孔が形成された多孔質の酸化皮膜が形成される場合がある。この酸化皮膜は、セルと呼ばれるシリンダ状のアルミナの集合体からなり、各セルの中心部には、酸化皮膜の厚み方向に延びる空孔が形成されている。セルが酸化皮膜の膜面方向にハニカム状に配置されることにより、膜厚方向に延びる多数の空孔が膜面方向に規則的に配列したホールアレイ構造が形成される。 For example, when aluminum is positively polarized and anodized in an acidic electrolyte such as sulfuric acid, oxalic acid, or phosphoric acid, a porous oxide film having a large number of pores formed on the surface may be formed. This oxide film is composed of an aggregate of cylindrical alumina called cells, and a hole extending in the thickness direction of the oxide film is formed at the center of each cell. By arranging the cells in a honeycomb shape in the film surface direction of the oxide film, a hole array structure in which a large number of holes extending in the film thickness direction are regularly arranged in the film surface direction is formed.
ホールアレイ構造が形成されるメカニズムは次の通りである。硫酸、シュウ酸、リン酸などの酸を電解液として陽極酸化を行った場合には、一定の厚みの酸化皮膜が基体の表面に生成した後、膜厚方向の電場強度が増大し、酸化皮膜の溶解が加速される。同時に、溶解によって厚みが減少した分、酸化皮膜の基体側(例えばアルミニウム地金側)への成長が進行する。いったん空孔が形成された部分では、優先的に酸化皮膜の溶解や、酸化層の成長が進行する。局所的な酸化皮膜の溶解や、生成が進行することにより、酸化皮膜にホールアレイ構造が形成される。 The mechanism by which the hole array structure is formed is as follows. When anodization is performed using an acid such as sulfuric acid, oxalic acid, or phosphoric acid as the electrolyte, an oxide film with a certain thickness is formed on the surface of the substrate, and then the electric field strength in the film thickness direction increases and the oxide film Dissolution is accelerated. At the same time, the growth of the oxide film on the substrate side (for example, the aluminum base metal side) proceeds as much as the thickness decreases due to dissolution. Once the pores are formed, the dissolution of the oxide film and the growth of the oxide layer proceed preferentially. A hole array structure is formed in the oxide film by the local dissolution and generation of the oxide film.
空孔が形成されるのは、酸性の電解液によって酸化皮膜の溶解が起こるためである。よって、空孔を形成しないためには、電解液として弱酸性の電解液を用いるか、中性の電解液を用いてアルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金などからなる金属板をプラスに分極して陽極酸化すれば良い。こうすることで、セラミック保護膜2を、内部に空孔を有しない緻密なセラミックス皮膜とすることができる。
Vacancies are formed because the oxide film is dissolved by the acidic electrolyte. Therefore, in order not to form vacancies, a weakly acidic electrolytic solution may be used as the electrolytic solution, or a metal plate made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy may be positively polarized and anodized using a neutral electrolytic solution. good. By carrying out like this, the ceramic
セラミック保護膜2の厚みは、0.01μm以上5μm未満であることが好ましく、0.5μm以上3μm以下であることがより好ましい。セラミック保護膜2の厚みが0.01μm未満であると、十分な耐食性、耐摩耗性、電気絶縁性などが得られない。セラミック保護膜2の厚みが5μm以上であると、放熱板4が高温になった場合にセラミック保護膜2にクラックが発生し易くなる。また、セラミックス保護膜2の厚みが厚いと、セラミックス保護膜2の熱容量が大きくなり、放熱性が不十分になる。セラミック保護膜2の厚みが0.01μm以上5μm未満であると、セラミック保護膜2の耐食性、耐摩耗性、電気絶縁性、放熱性が良好になり、放熱板4が高温になったときのクラックの発生も抑制される。セラミック保護膜2の厚みが0.5μm以上3μm以下であると、このような効果がより高まる。
The thickness of the ceramic
セラミック保護膜2の表面には、金属皮膜3が形成されている。金属皮膜3は、基体1の一方の主面側のみに形成されている。金属皮膜3は、放熱板4の放熱性や耐摩耗性を高めるために設けられている。金属皮膜3は、熱伝導率の高い材料であれば、特に限定されない。アルミニウムや銅は熱伝導率が大きく、放熱性が高いので、セラミック保護膜2の表面に形成する金属皮膜3として好適である。
A
金属皮膜3の厚みは、0.03μm以上10μm以下であることが好ましく、0.1μm以上5μm以下であることがより好ましい。金属皮膜3の厚みが0.03μm未満であると、十分な耐摩耗性が得られない。金属皮膜3の厚みが10μmよりも大きいと、金属皮膜3の熱容量が大きくなり、放熱性が損なわれる。金属皮膜3の厚みが0.03μm以上10μm以下であると、金属皮膜3の放熱性や耐摩耗性が良好になり、金属皮膜3の厚みが0.1μm以上5μm以下であると、このような効果がより高まる。
The thickness of the
金属皮膜3の表面には凹凸3aが形成されていることが好ましい。これにより、金属皮膜3の表面積が大きくなり、放熱性が高まる。金属皮膜3の表面に凹凸3aを形成する方法としては、金属皮膜3の表面に研磨材を吹きつけるサンドブラスト法や、金属皮膜3の表面をエッチング処理するエッチング法などがある。金属皮膜3をスパッタで形成するときに、基体1の温度を高温にすると、金属皮膜3の表面にヒロックと呼ばれる微細な凹凸が形成されることがある。このヒロックを金属皮膜3の凹凸3aとして利用しても良い。この場合、金属皮膜3と凹凸3aとを同時に形成することができる。
It is preferable that
上記構成の放熱板4によれば、セラミック保護膜2は多孔質ではなく、緻密なセラミックス皮膜である。そのため、多孔質なセラミック保護膜よりも熱伝導性が良く、放熱性に優れたセラミック保護膜2となる。緻密なセラミック保護膜2は、膜厚が小さくても、膜厚むらが少なく、安定した絶縁性を有する。よって、セラミック保護膜2の膜厚を0.01μm以上5μm未満の薄い膜とすることができ、これにより、放熱性に優れた放熱板4が提供される。また、セラミック保護膜2が薄く形成されているので、放熱板4が高温になってもセラミック保護膜2にクラックが発生しにくい。そのため、信頼性の高い放熱板4が提供される。また、セラミック保護膜2は多孔質ではないので、セラミック保護膜2の表面には凹凸が少ない。よって、セラミック保護膜2と金属皮膜3との密着力が高く、信頼性に優れた放熱板4となる。
According to the

図2Aに示すように、コアとなる基体1を用意する。基体1としては、例えば、アルミニウム又はアルミニウム合金からなる金属板が用いられる。
As shown in FIG. 2A, a
次に、図2Bに示すように、基体1の表面を陽極酸化することにより、基板1の表面にセラミックス保護膜2を形成する。電解液中に基体1を浸し、基体1を陽極として通電すると、基体1の表面が酸化されて、基体1の酸化皮膜からなるセラミックス保護膜2が形成される。電解液としては、弱酸性又は中性の電解液が用いられる。これにより、内部に空孔を有しない緻密なセラミックス保護膜2が形成される。形成されるセラミックス保護膜2の厚みは、通電する電圧の大きさや通電時間に比例する。よって、これらを調節してセラミックス保護膜2の厚みを0.01μm以上5μm未満、より好ましくは、0.5μm以上3μm以下とする。
Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, a ceramic
次に、図2Cに示すように、セラミックス保護膜2の表面に金属皮膜3を形成する。金属皮膜3は、例えば、基体1を250℃程度に加熱してセラミックス保護膜2の表面にアルミニウムをスパッタすることにより形成される。
Next, as shown in FIG. 2C, a
アルミニウムを金属皮膜3として形成する場合、スパッタ処理中の基体1の温度が高いと、金属皮膜3の表面にヒロックと呼ばれる微細な凹凸が形成される場合がある。ヒロックは、金属皮膜3と金属皮膜3の形成対象物との熱膨張係数差によって発生すると考えられている。すなわち、金属皮膜3と金属皮膜3の形成対象物との熱膨張係数差によって、金属皮膜3に圧縮応力が発生し、この圧縮応力がドライビングフォースとなって金属皮膜3の結晶粒界に沿った金属原子の拡散が生じ、ヒロックが形成されると考えられている。
When forming aluminum as the
ヒロックは、金属皮膜3を配線として利用する場合には問題となる。しかし、放熱板4では、金属皮膜3を放熱層として利用しているので、金属皮膜3の表面に積極的にヒロックを形成している。ヒロックを形成することで、金属皮膜3は、表面に凹凸3aが形成された多孔質な膜となり、金属皮膜3の表面積が拡大される。これにより、セラミックス保護膜2に蓄積された熱は、金属皮膜3の表面を介して速やかに外部に放出されるようになり、放熱板4の放熱性が高まる。
Hillock becomes a problem when the

This substrate was obtained from Ueda Anodized Industry Co., Ltd. as an anodized substrate. A ceramic film formed by a normal anodic oxidation method has a hole array structure in which a large number of holes extending in the film thickness direction are regularly arranged in the film surface direction. A sample having a size of 30 mm × 30 mm was cut out from the substrate. A 3 μm thick aluminum metal film was formed on the entire surface of one of the main surfaces of the sample by sputtering to obtain a heat radiating plate of Comparative Example 2. Sputtering was performed at a lower substrate temperature than in Example 1 so that hillocks were not generated on the surface of the metal film.
表1は、実施例1、比較例1、比較例2の特性を比較した結果である。 Table 1 shows the results of comparing the characteristics of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2.
表1において、「セラミックス皮膜の電気絶縁性」は、金属皮膜とアルミニウム板との間の電気抵抗をテスターで測定し、金属皮膜とアルミニウム板との間に短絡が生じているか否かを評価したものである。電気絶縁性の測定は、放熱板にヒートサイクル処理を行う前に行っている。金属皮膜とアルミニウム板とが短絡していない状態を「良好」とし、短絡している状態を「短絡」としている。 In Table 1, “electrical insulation of the ceramic film” was measured by measuring the electric resistance between the metal film and the aluminum plate with a tester, and evaluated whether or not a short circuit occurred between the metal film and the aluminum plate. Is. The measurement of electrical insulation is performed before heat cycle processing is performed on the heat sink. The state where the metal film and the aluminum plate are not short-circuited is “good”, and the state where the metal film is short-circuited is “short-circuit”.
「セラミックス皮膜の空孔の有無」は、金属皮膜を形成する前の試料の断面SEM像を観察し、セラミックス皮膜の内部に空孔が形成されているか否かを評価したものである。
セラミックス皮膜の内部に空孔が形成されている場合を「空孔あり」とし、空孔が形成されていない場合を「空孔なし」としている。
“Presence / absence of pores in the ceramic coating” is an evaluation of whether or not pores are formed inside the ceramic coating by observing a cross-sectional SEM image of the sample before forming the metal coating.
A case where holes are formed inside the ceramic film is referred to as “having holes”, and a case where holes are not formed is referred to as “no holes”.
「金属皮膜表面の空孔の有無」は、金属皮膜の表面SEM像を観察し、金属皮膜の表面にヒロックにより形成された空孔が存在するか否かを評価したものである。金属皮膜の表面に空孔が形成されている場合を「空孔あり」とし、金属皮膜の表面に空孔が形成されていない場合を「空孔なし」としている。 “Presence / absence of vacancies on the surface of the metal film” is an evaluation of whether or not vacancies formed by hillocks exist on the surface of the metal film by observing the surface SEM image of the metal film. The case where holes are formed on the surface of the metal film is referred to as “having holes”, and the case where holes are not formed on the surface of the metal film is referred to as “no holes”.
「セラミックス皮膜のクラックの有無」は、セラミックス皮膜の表面を顕微鏡で観察し、セラミックス皮膜の表面にクラックが発生しているか否かを評価したものである。顕微鏡による観察は、放熱板にヒートサイクル処理を行う前とヒートサイクル処理を行った後の合計2回行っている。クラックが発生している場合を「クラックあり」とし、クラックが発生していない場合を「クラックなし」としている。 "The presence or absence of cracks in the ceramic film" is an evaluation of whether or not cracks have occurred on the surface of the ceramic film by observing the surface of the ceramic film with a microscope. Observation with a microscope is performed twice before the heat cycle treatment on the heat sink and after the heat cycle treatment. A case where a crack has occurred is referred to as “with crack”, and a case where no crack has occurred is referred to as “without crack”.
ヒートサイクル処理とは、金属皮膜を形成する前の試料を-55℃の液に15分、125℃の液に15分浸漬し、これを50サイクル施す処理をいう。ヒートサイクル処理を施した試料についてセラミックス皮膜の表面を1000倍の倍率で観察し、セラミックス皮膜にクラックが発生しているか否かを調べた。 The heat cycle process is a process in which a sample before forming a metal film is immersed in a liquid at −55 ° C. for 15 minutes and in a liquid at 125 ° C. for 15 minutes and subjected to 50 cycles. About the sample which performed the heat cycle process, the surface of the ceramic membrane | film | coat was observed by 1000 time magnification, and it was investigated whether the ceramic membrane | film | coat has cracked.
表1に示すように、実施例1、比較例1、比較例2のセラミックス皮膜(セラミックス保護膜)の厚みはいずれも0.8μmである。実施例1のセラミックス皮膜は、空孔の無い緻密な膜である。比較例1のセラミックス皮膜は、独立ポアが散在した多孔質な膜である。比較例2のセラミックス皮膜は、ホールアレイ構造が形成された多孔質な膜である。 As shown in Table 1, the thicknesses of the ceramic films (ceramic protective films) of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 are all 0.8 μm. The ceramic film of Example 1 is a dense film without voids. The ceramic film of Comparative Example 1 is a porous film in which independent pores are scattered. The ceramic film of Comparative Example 2 is a porous film in which a hole array structure is formed.
セラミックス皮膜の厚みが薄いと、セラミックス皮膜の熱容量が小さくなり、放熱性が高まる。しかし、比較例1や比較例2のようにセラミックス皮膜の内部に多数の空孔が存在する場合には、セラミックス皮膜の厚みが薄くなると、金属皮膜とアルミニウム板(基体)との電気絶縁性が不十分になり、短絡が生じやすい。実施例1の放熱板では、セラミックス皮膜が、内部に空孔を有しない緻密な膜として形成されているため、セラミックス皮膜の厚みが薄くなっても電気絶縁性が高く、短絡が生じにくい。 If the thickness of the ceramic film is thin, the heat capacity of the ceramic film is reduced and the heat dissipation is increased. However, when a large number of pores exist in the ceramic film as in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, when the thickness of the ceramic film is reduced, the electrical insulation between the metal film and the aluminum plate (substrate) is increased. It becomes insufficient and short circuit is likely to occur. In the heat radiating plate of Example 1, since the ceramic film is formed as a dense film having no pores therein, even if the thickness of the ceramic film is reduced, the electrical insulation is high and short-circuiting is unlikely to occur.
実施例1の金属皮膜は、表面に空孔が形成された多孔質な膜である。比較例1と比較例2の金属皮膜は、表面に空孔を有しない平滑な膜である。そのため、実施例1の金属皮膜の表面積は、比較例1や比較例2の金属皮膜の表面積よりも大きい。従って、実施例1の金属皮膜の放熱性は、比較例1や比較例2の金属皮膜の放熱性よりも高い。実施例1のセラミックス皮膜は比較例1や比較例2のセラミックス皮膜よりも緻密な膜であるから、熱伝導性が高く、放熱性にも優れている。よって、セラミックス皮膜の放熱性と金属皮膜の放熱性とを総合した放熱板全体の放熱性は、実施例1の放熱板ほうが比較例1や比較例2の放熱板よりも優れている。 The metal film of Example 1 is a porous film having pores formed on the surface. The metal films of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 are smooth films having no pores on the surface. Therefore, the surface area of the metal film of Example 1 is larger than the surface area of the metal film of Comparative Example 1 or Comparative Example 2. Therefore, the heat dissipation of the metal film of Example 1 is higher than the heat dissipation of the metal films of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2. Since the ceramic film of Example 1 is a denser film than the ceramic film of Comparative Example 1 or Comparative Example 2, it has high thermal conductivity and excellent heat dissipation. Therefore, the heat dissipation of the entire heat sink combining the heat dissipation of the ceramic film and the heat dissipation of the metal film is superior to that of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 in the heat sink of Example 1.
実施例1、比較例1、比較例2のいずれにおいても、ヒートサイクル処理前のセラミックス皮膜の表面にはクラックは発生していない。ヒートサイクル処理を行うと、実施例1と比較例1のセラミックス皮膜の表面にはクラックは発生しないが、比較例2のセラミックス皮膜の表面にはクラックが発生する。 In any of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2, no cracks are generated on the surface of the ceramic film before the heat cycle treatment. When heat cycle treatment is performed, cracks do not occur on the surfaces of the ceramic coatings of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, but cracks occur on the surface of the ceramic coating of Comparative Example 2.
ヒートサイクル処理後においても実施例1と比較例2のセラミックス皮膜にクラックが発生しない原因としては、次のことが考えられる。一般に、セラミックス皮膜の厚みが厚いと、セラミックス皮膜とアルミニウム板との間の熱膨張係数差に起因した熱応力によってセラミックス皮膜にクラックが発生し易くなる。セラミックス皮膜が緻密な膜である場合にはこの傾向が顕著となるが、実施例1のセラミックス皮膜は厚さが0.8μmの薄い膜であるため、柔軟性が高い。そのため、ヒートサイクル処理時の熱応力がセラミックス皮膜で吸収され、クラックの発生が抑制されたと考えられる。比較例1でも同様である。
比較例1の場合は、セラミックス皮膜の内部に独立ポアが散在しているため、さらに柔軟性が高くなっており、クラックの発生もより抑制されたと考えられる。
The following can be considered as the cause of no cracks occurring in the ceramic coatings of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 even after the heat cycle treatment. In general, when the thickness of the ceramic film is large, cracks are likely to occur in the ceramic film due to thermal stress caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the ceramic film and the aluminum plate. This tendency becomes remarkable when the ceramic film is a dense film. However, since the ceramic film of Example 1 is a thin film having a thickness of 0.8 μm, it has high flexibility. Therefore, it is considered that the thermal stress during the heat cycle treatment was absorbed by the ceramic film, and the generation of cracks was suppressed. The same applies to Comparative Example 1.
In the case of Comparative Example 1, since the independent pores are scattered inside the ceramic film, the flexibility is further increased, and it is considered that the occurrence of cracks is further suppressed.
比較例2のセラミックス皮膜も薄い膜であるが、比較例2のセラミックス皮膜は、多数の空孔が厚み方向に貫通したホールアレイ構造をとる。このようなセラミックス皮膜は膜面方向の熱応力に弱い。そのため、ヒートサイクル処理後にクラックが発生したと考えられる。 The ceramic film of Comparative Example 2 is also a thin film, but the ceramic film of Comparative Example 2 has a hole array structure in which a large number of holes penetrate in the thickness direction. Such a ceramic film is vulnerable to thermal stress in the film surface direction. Therefore, it is considered that cracks occurred after the heat cycle treatment.
以上のことから、総合的な評価として、実施例1が最も優れている。 From the above, Example 1 is the most excellent as a comprehensive evaluation.

LED照明装置11は、基板8、放熱板4、カバー部材10を有する。基板8は、複数のLED(Light Emitting Diode;発光ダイオード)7が搭載されている。放熱板4は、基板8を挟んでLED7とは反対側に設けられている。カバー部材10は、LED7及び基板8の周囲を覆う透明なカバー部材である。
The
基板8は、放熱板4の金属皮膜3が形成されている面とは反対側の面に設置されている。基板8は、熱伝導性を有するものであれば、特に限定されず、ガラス、アルミニウム、銅、ステンレスなどの板や、樹脂フィルムなどが用いられる。基板8は接着剤9によって放熱板4に密着しているが、接着剤を介さずに基板8と放熱板4とを密着させても良い。
The
基板8の周囲には、基板8及びLED7の上部を覆う透明なカバー部材10が設けられている。カバー部材10は、LEDから放射された光を透過するものであれば良く、ガラスや樹脂などの透明な部材が用いられる。カバー部材10は、基体1との間で基板8及びLED7を密閉する密閉空間12を形成して、セラミックス保護膜2上に固定されている。
A
LED7で発生した熱H1は、基板8に伝わり、接着剤9、セラミックス保護膜2、基体1、セラミックス保護膜2、金属皮膜3を介して、熱H2として外部に放出される。そのため、密閉空間12内の温度上昇が抑制され、LEDの温度も低減される。これにより、LED7の安定的な駆動が可能となる。

なお、図5では、基体1の外面全体にセラミックス保護膜2が形成されているが、基体1の基体8と対向する側とは反対側の主面には、必ずしもセラミックス保護膜2は形成されていなくてもよい。例えば、基体1の基体8と対向する側とは反対側の主面以外の面にセラミックス保護膜2を形成し、セラミックス保護膜2の形成されていない基体1の表面に金属皮膜3を形成してもよい。これにより、放熱板4の放熱性を高めることができる。

The
セラミック保護膜2の表面には、配線14が形成されている。配線14は、基体1の一方の主面側のみに形成されている。配線14は、例えば、図1に示した第1形態の放熱板4の金属皮膜3を選択エッチングすることにより形成することができる。図1の金属皮膜3の表面には凹凸3aが形成されているので、配線14の表面には凹凸14aが形成されているが、配線14の表面は平滑でも良い。
A
配線14上には、半導体チップなどの別の電子部品(図示略)が接続される。配線14上に電子部品を実装しない状態のものを電子部品基板15としても良く、配線14上に電子部品を実装したものを電子部品基板15としても良い。配線14上の電子部品で発生した熱は、配線14、セラミックス保護膜2、基体1、セラミックス保護膜2を介して外部に放出される。そのため、電子部品の温度上昇が抑制され、電子部品の安定的な駆動が可能となる。

The
太陽電池パネル16は、光入射面16aから入射した光を光起電力効果によって電力に変換する素子である。太陽電池パネル16としては、光電変換部にシリコンを用いるシリコン系太陽電池パネルや、光電変換部に化合物半導体を用いる化合物系太陽電池や、光電変換部に有機化合物を用いる有機系太陽電池パネルなどが用いられる。太陽電池パネル16としては公知の太陽電池パネルが用いられ、その種類や構成は特に限定されない。

太陽電池パネル16は、放熱板4の金属皮膜3が形成された面とは反対側の面に設置されている。放熱板4は、太陽電池パネル16の光入射面16a側とは反対側の面に直接又は接着剤(図示略)を介して密着している。太陽電池パネル16、放熱板4、及び保護フィルム17は一体化されて背板18に固定されている。
The
通常、太陽電池パネル16の最大光電変換効率は約15%であり、残りの太陽エネルギーは80%程度廃熱になる。その熱が排除されなければ、太陽電池パネル16の温度が最適温度(25℃)以上に上昇し、太陽電池パネル16の光電変換効率を低下させてしまう。太陽電池パネル16は長期間高温環境で使用されると劣化が早くなり、寿命も短くなる。冬場を除くと、太陽電池パネル16の温度が70℃~90℃に達し、光電変換効率は7%~10%程度まで低下してしまう。

太陽電池ユニット20には、太陽電池パネル16の光入射面16aとは反対側の面に放熱板4が設けられている。太陽電池パネル16に蓄積された熱は、放熱板4を介して外部に放出される。そのため、太陽電池パネル16の光電変換部の温度が最適温度付近(例えば45℃以下)に維持される。よって、太陽電池パネル16の光電変換効率が高い太陽電池ユニット20が得られる。
