A monolithic substrate including a silica material fused to bulk copper is provided for coupling with electronic components, along with methods for making the same. The method includes arranging a base mixture in a die mold. The base mixture includes a bottom portion with copper micron powder and an upper portion with copper nanoparticles. The method includes arranging a secondary mixture on the upper portion of the base mixture. The secondary mixture includes a bottom portion with silica-coated copper nanoparticles and an upper portion with silica nanoparticles. The method includes heating and compressing the base mixture and the secondary mixture in the die mold at a temperature, pressure, and time sufficient to sinter and fuse the base mixture with the secondary mixture to form a monolithic substrate. The resulting monolithic substrate defines a first major surface providing thermal conductivity, and a second major surface providing an electrically resistive surface.

A method of manufacturing a functional sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprise powdering a filler with specific functional component and a binder, charging the filler and the binder with second polarity, spraying the binder and the filler onto an upper surface of an electrode plate charged with first polarity opposite to the second polarity, heat-treating the binder and filler, pressing an upper surface of the filler with a rolling roller, and separating the binder and the filler from the electrode plate. Therefore, the method can improve functionality while reducing harmfulness by manufacturing the functional sheet using a powdered filler and binder without using an organic solvent.
