1. A method for producing an aluminum nitride sintered product comprising the steps of:
- (a) preparing a powder mixture that contains aluminum nitride, 2 to 10 parts by weight of europium oxide with respect to 100 parts by weight of aluminum nitride, aluminum oxide such that a molar ratio of aluminum oxide to europium oxide is 2 to 10, and titanium oxide such that a molar ratio of titanium oxide to aluminum oxide is 0.05 to 1.2, but not a samarium compound;
(b) producing a compact from the powder mixture; and
(c) firing the compact by (1) subjecting the compact to hot-press firing in a vacuum or in an inert atmosphere or (2) subjecting the compact to hot-press firing in a vacuum or in an inert atmosphere and subsequently to an annealing treatment at a temperature higher than a temperature in the firing.
