Abstract: The present invention provides a ceramic metal circuit board including a ceramic substrate and metal plates bonded to both surfaces of the ceramic substrate through respective bonding layers, wherein a metal film is provided on a surface of one metal plate bonded to one surface of the ceramic substrate; and at least a part of another metal plate bonded to another surface of the ceramic substrate is not provided with the metal film. Preferably, a protruding portion is formed as a portion of the bonding layer so as to protrude from a side surface of each of the metal plates. According to the above-described configuration, it is possible to provide a ceramic circuit board which is easy to use according to the parts to be bonded and is excellent in heat-cycle resistance characteristics.

Abstract: The present invention provides a silicon nitride circuit board in which metal plates are attached on front and rear sides of a silicon nitride substrate having a three-point flexural strength of 500 MPa or higher, wherein assuming that a thickness of the metal plate on the front side is denoted by t1, and a thickness of the metal plate on the rear side is denoted by t2, a numerical relation: |t1?t2|?0.30 mm is satisfied, and a warp is formed in the silicon nitride substrate so that the silicon nitride substrate is convex toward the metal plate on one of the front side or the rear side; and warp amounts of the silicon nitride substrate in a long-side direction and a short-side direction both fall within a range from 0.01 to 1.0 mm. It is preferable that a longitudinal width (L1) of the silicon nitride substrate falls within a range from 10 to 200 mm, and a transverse width (L2) of the silicon nitride substrate falls within a range from 10 to 200 mm.
