Abstract:
A semiconductor-supporting device comprising a substrate made of an aluminum nitride-based ceramic material and having a semiconductor-placing surface, wherein an orientation degree of the aluminum nitride-based ceramic material specified by the following formula is not less than 1.1 and not more than 2.0.Orientation degree=[I'(002)/I'(100)]/[I(002)/I(100)]in which in an X-ray diffraction measurement, I'(002) is a diffraction intensity of a (002) face of the aluminum nitride-based ceramic material when X-rays are irradiated from the semiconductor-placing surface, I'(100) is a diffraction intensity of a (100) face of the aluminum nitride-based ceramic material when X-rays are irradiated from the semiconductor-placing surface, I(002) is a diffraction intensity of the (002) face of the aluminum nitride ceramic according to a JCPDS Card No. 25-1133, and I(100) is a diffraction intensity of the (100) face of the aluminum nitride ceramic according to a JCPDS Card No. 25-1133.
