Abstract
Abstract A method in which a multi-layered ceramic circuit board made of a hybrid laminate consisting of green sheets containing hollow silica and green sheets containing no hollow silica is manufactured without failures occurring during the firing of the laminate. By incorporating quartz glass into a first ceramic material containing hollow silica to replace part of the hollow silica with quartz glass, the compositions of the first ceramic material and a second ceramic material containing no hollow silica are controlled so that the difference between the percentages of shrinkage on firing of the green sheets formed of the first and second ceramic materials is within 1%.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
A method of manufacturing a multi-layered ceramic circuit board comprising: providing a plurality of greensheets of a first ceramic powder material comprising quartz glass and containing hollow silica; providing a plurality of greensheets of a second ceramic powder material comprising quartz glass and containing no hollow silica; laminating said greensheets of said first ceramic powder material and said greensheets of said second ceramic powder material to make a hybrid laminate, in which electrically conductive layers are disposed in contact with at least the greensheets of the first ceramic powder material; and then firing the hybrid laminate to produce a multi-layer ceramic circuit board, wherein the compositions of the first and second ceramic powder materials are controlled so that the difference between the percentage of shrinkage of said greensheets of said first ceramic powder material and said second ceramic powder material during the firing of said hybrid laminate is within 1 percent.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
