Abstract
An aluminum nitride-based sintered body having a thermal conductivity of greater than 110 W/mK and a relative density of at least 90% and a process for the production thereof are disclosed. The sintered body contains minor amounts of at least one compound of a Group IIa metal and at least one compound of a Group IIIa metal of the Periodic Table and can be produced from an aluminum nitride starting powder prepared by direct nitriding of metallic aluminum powder and having a purity of at lest 99%, an oxygen content of lower than 1.8%, and an Si content of at most 1.0% by mixing the starting powder with powdery sintering additives consisting of at least one metal or compound of a Group IIa metal such as Ca and at least one metal or compound of a Group IIIa metal such as Y, shaping the powder mixture, and baking the shaped mixture at a relatively low temperature.
