Abstract
Electrical insulating properties between adjacent copper plates are improved while a defect of a bonded substrate which is caused by concentration of stress to end portions of the copper plates is prevented. A bonded substrate includes a silicon nitride ceramic substrate, a copper plate, and a bonding layer. The copper plate and the bonding layer are disposed on the silicon nitride ceramic substrate. The bonding layer bonds the copper plate to the silicon nitride ceramic substrate. The bonding layer includes: an interplate portion between the silicon nitride ceramic substrate and the copper plate; and a protruding portion protruding from between the silicon nitride ceramic substrate and the copper plate. Exposure of the silicon nitride ceramic substrate is prevented at a position where the protruding portion is disposed.
