A process for producing a multilayered ceramic substrate having a step portion of a desired shape does not require complicated process steps and equipment. An auxiliary-layer-lined unfired ceramic body, which has a step portion in a principal surface thereof, has an unfired ceramic body and an auxiliary layer which is adhered to one principal surface of the unfired ceramic body and which is made of a material that is substantially unsinterable at a temperature at which the unfired ceramic body is fired. The auxiliary-layer-lined unfired ceramic body is fired at a temperature at which the unfired ceramic body is sinterable but the auxiliary layer is substantially unsinterable, while the auxiliary layer remains adhered to the unfired ceramic body. A pressing operation is performed by using a die having a projection placed on the side of the auxiliary-layer-lined unfired ceramic body retaining the auxiliary layer, so that the step portion, having a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the die projection, is formed in the side of the auxiliary-layer-lined unfired ceramic body retaining the auxiliary layer. |

A composite member includes a ceramic base and a metallic member which are bonded to each other. An active metal foil is disposed on the surface of the ceramic base and a solder material including Au or a solder material including an Au—Ag alloy is disposed on the active metal foil. The active metal foil and the solder material are heated to form a bonding layer and the metallic member is disposed on the surface of the bonding layer, and these are pressed and heated to bond the bonding layer and the metallic member through solid phase bonding. Since in this composite member the bonding layer and the metallic member are bonded by solid phase bonding, the composite members can be effectively inhibited from breakage caused by residual stress at the time of bonding and, moreover, is excellent in thermal cycle characteristics and thermal shock characteristics. |
