Abstract: Improved moisture absorption solder heat resistance is obtained in producing a metallic foil laminate body having a metal foil attached on both sides of a laminated base material including a plurality of insulating base materials. A laminated base material (2) is first prepared by pressurizing and integrating a plurality of insulating base materials (2a) in a prepressing step. Then, the laminated base material (2) is heat-treated. Thereafter, this laminated base material (2) is sandwiched between a pair of metal foils (3A) and (3B), and heated and pressurized to be integrated into a metallic foil laminate body. The prepressing step makes it possible to prevent an interface between the insulating base materials (2a) from being generated. As a result, swelling is not generated on the surfaces of the insulating base materials (2a).
