Abstract
A method for producing an aluminum nitride powder of superior sinterability of which steps are providing an aqueous boehmite sol having a pH of 1.2 to 4.5, mixing a carbon source material to the sol and drying the mixture. The mixture is sintered in a non-oxidizing atmosphere containing nitrogen or in a nitrogen atmosphere and finally decarbonized to obtain an aluminum nitride powder. The carbon source material is preferably a mixture of an organic carbon source material and a solid carbon powder. A predetermined amount of alpha-alumina may be added to the mixture.
