Abstract
Abstract A multilayer ceramic substrate comprises several conductive layers and at least one insulating layer therefor, whereby the insulating layer is formed from an inorganic composition comprising: - at least one member selected from Al₂O₃ and ZrO₂; together with a mixture of SiO₂, PbO and at least one member selected from the group of BaO, CaO and ZnO. The multilayer ceramic substrate can be sintered at low temperature in air resulting in the desired properties of heat resistance, solderability, insulation layer resistance and avoidance of microcrack formation when laser trimming a top resistance film.
