Abstract

Abstract In a method of manufacture of a multilayer ceramic board, a conductor land is formed and baked on a first substrate. A second substrate on which the wiring pattern is formed is then electrically connected to the first substrate via the land. An error in the substrate due to shrinkage at the time of sintering is thereby compensated by the conductor land. This assures the formation of a highly accurate wiring pattern on the sintered substrate surface, despite shrinkage of the ceramic during sintering of the raw sheets of ceramic.
