Abstract: A ceramic package includes a ceramic substrate, a metallization layer, a first plating layer, a brazing material layer, and a seal member. The ceramic substrate has a surface, and the metallization layer is disposed along an outer periphery of a predetermined region on the surface. The first plating layer is disposed on the metallization layer. The brazing material layer is disposed on the metallization layer with the first plating layer interposed therebetween. The seal member is joined on the metallization layer via the brazing material layer. In at least one of an outer peripheral portion and an inner peripheral portion of the brazing material layer, an end of the brazing material layer is located outside a region directly below the seal member and the end of the brazing material layer is positioned nearer to the seal member than an end of the metallization layer.

Abstract: In a ceramic package, a seal ring is brazed to a substrate portion. A joint portion of the seal ring includes: a metallization layer; a first plating layer disposed on the metallization layer; and a brazing material layer disposed on the metallization layer with the first plating layer interposed therebetween. An end of the brazing material layer is located outside a region directly below the seal ring and at a position at the seal ring side away from an end of the metallization layer by 0.02 mm or greater.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a ceramic IC package base which comprises a ceramic substrate, and a heat radiating member adhered to a side surface of the ceramic substrate and made of copper or copper alloy. The heat radiating member has an adhering portion at which it is adhered to the ceramic substrate. The adhering portion, when the heat radiating member is observed in a plan view, has one side which is equal to or larger than 8 mm. The adhering portion is of the thickness within the range from 0.25 mm to 0.76 mm. A ceramic IC package cover is also provided.
