Abstract: In a ceramic multilayer substrate formed by stacking and firing a plurality of insulating layers, the insulating layer in an uppermost surface layer includes a ceramic layer, a contraction suppression layer stacked on the ceramic layer, and a surface-layer via conductor penetrating through the ceramic layer and the contraction suppression layer and having a tapered shape gradually tapering toward the lower layer side. The surface-layer via conductor has an end surface that is exposed from the contraction suppression layer forming the surface of the ceramic multilayer substrate, and that is directly connected to a terminal of a component mounted to the surface of the ceramic multilayer substrate. A weight ratio of alumina contained in the contraction suppression layer is set higher than a weight ration of alumina contained in the ceramic layer.

Abstract: In a metal base substrate with a low-temperature sintering ceramic layer located on a copper substrate, bonding reliability is increased between the copper substrate and the low-temperature sintering ceramic layer. A raw laminated body is prepared by stacking, on a surface of a copper substrate, a low-temperature sintering ceramic green layer including a low-temperature sintering ceramic material containing about 10 mol % to about 40 mol % of barium in terms of BaO and about 40 mol % to about 80 mol % of silicon in terms of SiO2, and this raw laminated body is subjected to firing at a temperature at which the low-temperature sintering ceramic green layer is sintered. In the thus obtained metal base substrate, a glass layer composed of Cu—Ba—Si based glass with a thickness of about 1 ?m to about 5 ?m is formed between the metal substrate and the low-temperature sintering ceramic layer.
