Abstract: A multilayered air-fuel ratio sensor consists of a plurality of substrate layers. At least one heterogeneous boundary layer is interposed between the plurality of substrate layers. The heterogeneous boundary layer has a thickness in a range of 10 to 100 ?m. The heterogeneous boundary layer absorbs thermal shocks or any other stresses acting on the substrate layers and stops the growth of cracks.
