Claims
- 1. A process for producing a multilayer ceramic circuit substrate comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a plurality of electrically insulating ceramic green sheets having through holes formed therein;
- (b) filling the through holes provided in a surface ceramic green sheet with an electrically conductive paste composition, said electrically conductive paste composition comprising a first electrically conductive paste containing from 40 to 90 wt. % of at least one element selected from the group consisting of W and Mo powder, 10 to 60 wt. % of a powder of at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ir, Pt, Ti and Cr and an organic binder or said first electrically conductive paste and a second electrically conductive paste containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of W and Mo powder as a main component, said first electrically conductive paste being exposed on an outer surface of said surface ceramic green sheet;
- (c) printing the second electrically conductive paste onto surfaces of the other ceramic green sheets to form internal conductor patterns and filling the through holes of the other ceramic green sheets with the second electrically conductive paste;
- (d) laminating all of the green ceramic sheets together;
- (e) cofiring the laminated green ceramic sheets;
- (f) applying a paste containing copper as a main ingredient on the surface of the surface ceramic green sheet in contact with the fired exposed first electrically conductive paste to form surface conductor patterns; and
- (g) firing the surface conductor patterns; said surface conductor patterns being electrically connected to the internal conductor patterns through an intermediate metal layer formed from the electrically conductive paste composition provided in the through holes of the surface green sheet.
- 2. The process for producing a multilayer ceramic circuit substrate as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first electrically conductive paste additionally contains up to 30 wt. % of a powder of the ceramic material used in forming the ceramic green sheets, said wt. % being based on 100 wt. % of the metals contained in the first electrically conductive paste.
- 3. The process for producing a multilayer ceramic circuit substrate as claimed in claim 2, wherein the ceramic powder is alumina powder, mullite powder or aluminum nitride powder.
