To reduce a manufacturing cost of a composite material with high thermal-conductivity, which is formed by combining a sintered plate of an aluminum powder with a fibrous carbon material, by reducing the amount of the fibrous carbon material to be used therein while securing a high mechanical strength so as to be used for a thermal diffusion plate for cooling an element, which serves as an element mounting portion, and also maintaining superior thermal conductivity.
This composite material includes: a tabular base metal 22 which is formed of pure aluminum or an aluminum alloy; and a tabular high-thermal-conductivity portion 23 which is buried in a middle part in the plate thickness direction of the tabular base metal 22 and in a part of planar regions perpendicular to the plate thickness direction. The tabular high-thermal-conductivity portion 23 is a stacked body of: a sintered compact layer of an aluminum powder; and a fiber-oriented sheet in which a fibrous carbon material is oriented in a specific one direction parallel to the surface of the sheet. This manufacturing method includes sintering the aluminum powder by using a powdery sheet which uses a binder therein, on a part of the surface of an aluminum powder layer of a stacked body before being sintered, which becomes the tabular high-thermal-conductivity portion 23, and using a tabular bulk body of aluminum on the top layer of the aluminum powder layer before being sintered, which becomes the tabular base metal 22.
