Patent ID: 11383981

Abstract:
An aluminum nitride plate satisfies a “c1>97.5%”, a “c2>97.0%”, a “w1<2.5 degrees”, and a “w1/w2<0.995” where c1 is a c-plane degree of orientation that is defined as a ratio of a diffraction intensity of (002) plane when a surface layer of the aluminum nitride plate is subjected to an X-ray diffraction measurement, and c2 is a c-plane degree of orientation that is defined as a ratio of the diffraction intensity of (002) plane when a portion other than the surface layer of the aluminum nitride plate is subjected to the X-ray diffraction measurement, wherein w1 is a half-value width in an X-ray rocking curve profile of (102) plane of the surface layer and w2 is a half-value width in the X-ray rocking curve profile of (102) plane of the portion other than the surface layer.
