Abstract
The present invention provides a multilayer ceramic substrate and a method of producing the same which can prevent occurrence of cracks when laminating different ceramic substrates or due to subsequent heat shock, and which has excellent moisture resistance and insulation properties and high reliability. The ceramic multilayer substrate has two ceramic substrates of different thermal expansion coefficients laminated by at least two glass layers of different thermal expansion coefficients which are between the thermal expansion coefficients of the ceramic substrates so that the thermal expansion coefficient changes stepwise between the ceramic substrates. The differences in thermal expansion coefficient between the ceramic substrate and the glass layer which are adjacent to each other, and between the adjacent glass layers are preferably not more than 1.times.10.sup.-6 /.degree.C.
