A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11887909B2) discloses a copper/titanium/aluminum bonded body that involves a copper member and an aluminum member bonded via a titanium layer. The bonded interface between the copper member and the titanium layer forms intermetallic compounds containing Cu and Ti, with specific length and concentration parameters defined. The patent also extends to insulating circuit substrates, power modules, LED modules, thermoelectric modules, and more, all incorporating the unique copper/titanium/aluminum bonded body.

The patent further details the formation of an Al—Ti—Si layer between the aluminum member and the titanium layer, with specific thickness requirements. Additionally, the ratio of certain lengths along the bonded interface, as well as the concentration distribution of Cu and Ti, are crucial aspects of the patented technology. The innovative approach outlined in the patent aims to enhance the performance and reliability of various electronic components and modules by utilizing the unique properties of the copper/titanium/aluminum bonded body.
