[0003] 1. The interface of metal and ceramic is weak due to atomic bonding, that is, the metal bond and the ionic bond are incompatible, and the interface defects (microcracks and pores) are many, resulting in low shear strength, and the interface of metal and ceramic is easy to debond under long-term thermal cycle or mechanical vibration, causing thermal resistance to increase or device short circuit. 2. Due to the large difference in CTE between metal and ceramic, under temperature fluctuation, that is, due to the inconsistent expansion or shrinkage rate in-55 DEG C-150 DEG C, periodic tensile or compressive stress is generated at the interface of metal and ceramic, which eventually leads to microcrack propagation and finally failure.

[0022] As Figures 1 to 7 As shown in the figure, the present application provides a kind of cermet composite substrate, comprising: cermet composite substrate 1, cermet composite substrate 1 includes upper cermet plate 101, lower cermet plate 102 and transition layer 103, upper cermet plate 101 is inserted at the top of transition layer 103, lower cermet plate 102 is inserted at the bottom of transition layer 103, the thermal expansion coefficient of upper cermet plate 101 is greater than the thermal expansion coefficient of transition layer 103, the thermal expansion coefficient of transition layer 103 is greater than the thermal expansion coefficient of lower cermet plate 102, transition layer 103 is made of nickel-phosphorus alloy, the material of upper cermet plate 101 and lower cermet plate 102 can be ceramic or metal, and the composition of upper cermet plate 101 and lower cermet plate 102 is opposite state, if the main component of upper cermet plate 101 is ceramic, then the main component of lower cermet plate 102 is metal, and then upper cermet plate 101, transition layer 103 and lower cermet plate 102 are sequentially carried in the mode of "metal-transition layer-ceramic" multilayer structure, since the thermal expansion coefficient of transition layer 103 is between metal and ceramic, and the thermal expansion coefficients of the three are different, the transition layer 103 with intermediate thermal expansion coefficient is placed between them, so that upper cermet plate 101 or lower cermet plate 102 can avoid large heat difference when heated, and fall off, and then the thermal stress is relieved by gradient transition.
[0023] As an implementation form, the upper and lower sides of the transition layer 103 are fixedly installed with transition layer positioning faces 1031, the outer sides of the transition layer positioning faces 1031 are fixedly installed with multiple groups of transition plates 1033, the front and rear ends of the transition plates 1033 are fixedly installed with two groups of arc-shaped positioning plates 1032, the side of the transition plate 1033 away from the transition layer positioning face 1031 is fixedly installed with multiple groups of clamping strips 1034, the multiple groups of clamping strips 1034 are installed between the two groups of arc-shaped positioning plates 1032, the transition plates 1033 are arranged between the arc-shaped positioning plates 1032 and the clamping strips 1034 and between every two groups of clamping strips 1034, and the arc-shaped positioning plates 1032, the transition plates 1033 and the clamping strips 1034 are sequentially inserted into the hollow accommodation cavities 1022 when the upper metal ceramic plate 101, the lower metal ceramic plate 102 and the transition layer 103 are sequentially inserted and installed, and then when the upper metal ceramic plate 101 or the lower metal ceramic plate 102 is inserted into the transition layer 103, the upper metal ceramic plate 101, the lower metal ceramic plate 102 and the transition layer 103 can be assembled according to the specified area because the shapes and specifications of the upper metal ceramic plate 101, the lower metal ceramic plate 102 and the transition layer 103 are fixedly set, and the outer side of the metal ceramic composite substrate 1 is adhered with an external adhesive coating 2, so that the upper metal ceramic plate 101, the lower metal ceramic plate 102 and the transition layer 103 are fixed by smearing the external adhesive coating 2 later.
[0024] As an implementation form, as shown in Figures 3 to 7 the lower metal ceramic plate 102 in the embodiment is fixedly installed with 1021 on the side facing the transition layer positioning face 1031, the side of 1021 facing the transition layer positioning face 1031 is provided with an installation groove, multiple groups of limiting clamping layer blocks 1023 are fixedly installed in the installation groove, hollow accommodation cavities 1022 are arranged between every two groups of limiting clamping layer blocks 1023, the arc-shaped positioning plates 1032 and the clamping strips 1034 are inserted into the hollow accommodation cavities 1022, and the limiting clamping layer blocks 1023 are inserted into the transition plates 1033.
[0025] In detail, the internal mechanism of the upper and lower metal ceramic plates 101 and 102 is consistent, and both are provided with hollow accommodation cavities 1022 and limiting interlayer blocks 1023, except that the metal content and ceramic content between the two are different. As shown in the figure, due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of the upper metal ceramic plate 101, the transition layer 103 and the lower metal ceramic plate 102, the degree of thermal expansion at high temperature is also different. Since the metal ceramic composite substrate 1 is manufactured by heating forming as the last step of the processing technology, the thermal expansion coefficients of the respective materials of the limiting interlayer blocks 1023, the clamping strips 1034 and the arc-shaped positioning plates 1032 are different. At this time, the thermal expansion distance between each other produces an error, and the deformation of the clamping strips 1034 and the arc-shaped positioning plates 1032 is smaller than that of the limiting interlayer blocks 1023. Therefore, the limiting interlayer blocks 1023 on the lower metal ceramic plate 102 expand in turn to press the side walls of the clamping strips 1034 and the arc-shaped positioning plates 1032. If the deformation coefficient of the clamping strips 1034 and the arc-shaped positioning plates 1032 is greater than that of the limiting interlayer blocks 1023, the clamping strips 1034 and the arc-shaped positioning plates 1032 expand in turn to press the side walls of the limiting interlayer blocks 1023. It is to be noted that the number of limiting interlayer blocks 1023, clamping strips 1034 and arc-shaped positioning plates 1032 shown in the figure is not all, and more groups can be set to improve the anti-deformation ability of the metal ceramic composite substrate 1, so that the metal ceramic composite substrate 1 is more stable in use. When the metal ceramic composite substrate 1 is in a relatively hot or cold environment, the insertion type installation of the multi-layer material can form a relative resistance, thereby improving the stability of the metal ceramic composite substrate. At the same time, by mixing different materials to replace part of the metal and ceramic contact surface, the stability between the atomic bonds of the metal and ceramic interface is improved.

It is to be noted that the micro-etching liquid composition contains sodium persulfate and sulfuric acid, and the etching rate is 5-10 μm / min, thereby forming a micro-rough structure on the surface of the metal copper, thereby increasing the contact area of the metal copper and the ceramic; S3, ultrasonic cleaning: then the metal copper is thrown into the ultrasonic cleaning equipment, the ultrasonic cleaning equipment removes the particles with particle size >1 μm on the surface of the metal copper after micro-etching by releasing ultrasonic waves, so as to avoid the pollution of the residual particles on the whole processing interface after micro-etching; S4, powder preparation: the ceramic is synthesized into ceramic powder by a solid phase reaction method, it is explained that the ceramic powder is high purity, the purity is >99.9%, and the average particle size of the powder is 0.5 μm-1 μm, and 5%-10% polyvinyl alcohol binder is added in the ceramic powder, and the ceramic powder is prepared into spherical particles by a spray granulation method, and the particle size of the spherical particles is 50 μm-100 μm, then the ceramic powder in the form of spherical particles is dry-pressed, the pressure range of dry-pressing is 500 MPa-100 MPa, then the ceramic powder in the form of spherical particles is made into a ceramic green body, the thickness range of the ceramic green body is 0.5 mm-2 mm, then the green body is heated to 600 ℃ at a rate of 2 ℃ / min in a muffle furnace, and the embryo after heating is kept for 2 h, and then the polyvinyl alcohol binder in the embryo is removed; S5, the metal and the ceramic green body are placed in a radio frequency plasma device, and the metal and the ceramic green body are treated for 5-10 minutes, the surface of the metal and the ceramic green body is bombarded by high-energy plasma, the oxide layer on the surface of the metal and the ceramic green body is removed, and the surface energy of the two is increased, the surface energy of the metal is increased from 30 mN / m to 50 mN / m, and the surface energy of the ceramic is increased from 20 mN / m to 40 mN / m; S6, installation preparation: a fiber laser is used to etch the surface of the metal, a plurality of hollow accommodation cavities 1022 are formed on the surface of 1021, so that a plurality of limiting clamping layer blocks 1023 are formed on 1021, then the front and back sides of the transition layer 103 are processed by a machine tool, a plurality of groups of transition plates 1033 arranged in a whole are provided with arc-shaped positioning plates 1032 and clamping strips 1034, and the arc-shaped positioning plates 1032 and the clamping strips 1034 are inserted into the hollow accommodation cavities 1022, so as to increase the mechanical locking effect between the ceramic embryo and the metal; S7, material placement: the activated copper sheet and the ceramic green body are alternately stacked, that is, the upper metal ceramic plate 101 and the lower metal ceramic plate 102 are alternately stacked, and a layer of transition layer 103 is arranged between every two activated copper sheets and ceramic green bodies, and the two are inserted and installed for stacking, then the activated copper sheet and the ceramic green body are placed into a graphite mold coated with boron nitride lubricant; S8, heating forming: then hot-press sintering metal and ceramic body, and the temperature inside the heating equipment is raised to 1200℃ at a rate of 10℃ / min, since the melting point of copper is 1083℃, and the ceramic body starts to be densified, and a pressure of 150MPa is applied, at this time the metal and ceramic body are diffusion bonded, and the formed metal ceramic composite substrate 1 is kept for 2h; S9, cooling and demolding: after the metal ceramic plate is cooled to room temperature, the composite substrate is demolded, and the surface of the metal ceramic composite substrate 1 is treated by mechanical polishing and chemical cleaning, so that the quality of the metal ceramic composite substrate 1 is improved.
