Abstract
A submount includes: a support layer; a first graphite layer disposed on the support layer; a first metal layer disposed on the first graphite layer; and a second metal layer disposed on the first metal layer. The first metal layer is thicker than the second metal layer. A first region in which the first metal layer is not disposed is provided at an outer peripheral portion of an upper surface of the first graphite layer. The second metal layer covers the first metal layer and the first region of the upper surface of the first graphite layer.
Claims13
A submount, comprising:
- a support layer;
- a first graphite layer disposed on the support layer;
- a first metal layer disposed on the first graphite layer;
- and
- a second metal layer disposed on the first metal layer, wherein:
- the first metal layer is thicker than the second metal layer,
- a first region in which the first metal layer is not disposed is provided at an outer peripheral portion of an upper surface of the first graphite layer, and
- the second metal layer covers the first metal layer and the first region of the upper surface of the first graphite layer.
A method of producing a submount, comprising:
- providing a layered body comprising a support layer, and a first graphite layer disposed on the support layer;
- disposing a first metal layer on the first graphite layer;
- forming a first groove portion at which the first graphite layer is not covered by the first metal layer by removing a portion of the first metal layer;
- disposing a second metal layer on the first metal layer and on a portion of the first graphite layer not covered with the first metal layer in the first groove portion, the second metal layer being thinner than the first metal layer;
- and
- cutting the second metal layer and the layered body along the first groove portion.
