Abstract
According to this invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a highly reliable circuit board in which a copper member is strongly, directly bonded to a substrate made of an aluminum nitride sintered body, thereby obtaining high peel strength. The method of manufacturing the circuit board includes the steps of bringing a copper member containing 100 to 1,000 ppm of oxygen into contact with an oxide layer having a thickness of 0.1 to 5 .mu.m formed on a surface of a substrate made of an aluminum nitride sintered body, and heating the substrate in an inert gas atmosphere containing 1 to 100 ppm of oxygen at a temperature not more than a temperature corresponding to a liquidus including a pure copper melting point of a hypoeutectic region of a two-component phase diagram of Cu-Cu.sub.2 O and not less than a temperature corresponding to a eutectic line obtained by connecting a line corresponding to copper and a line corresponding to a cuporus oxide composition, and directly bonding the copper member to the substrate.
