Abstract

An insulating substrate (1) has insulative ceramic layers (2, 3) laid one upon another, an intermediate layer (4) made of a material that is different from a material of the ceramic layers and arranged between adjacent ones of the ceramic layers to join the adjacent ceramic layers to each other, a first conductive layer (5) joined to the top surface of a top one of the ceramic layers, and a second conductive layer (6) joined to the bottom surface of a bottom one of the ceramic layers. Even if any one of the ceramic layers has strength lower than design strength and causes a breakage due to, for example, thermal stress, the remaining ceramic layers are sound to secure a specified breakdown voltage for the insulating substrate.
