Abstract
Abstract A multilayer ceramic substrate comprises plural conductive layers and insulation layer for insulating the plural conductive layers, and the insulation layer is made of an inorganic composition comprising at least one member selected from the group of Al2O3 and ZrO2, SiO2, PbO, and at least one member selected from the group of BaO, CaO and ZnO in predetermined range. The multilayer ceramic substrate can be sintered at low temperature in the air and is splendid in a heat resistance, a solderability and resistance value of the insulation layer and furthermore, a microcrack is not caused in a laser trimming of a top resistance film.
