The wiring board 1a of the first embodiment according to the present disclosure has a ceramic substrate 2 having a first wiring 3 having a thickness of 80% or more of the height from the second lower surface 22b to the first lower surface 22a and arranged in contact with the second lower surface 22b and the second side surface 23b, the side surface 31 of the first wiring 3 being exposed from the first side surface 23a of the ceramic substrate 2, and a main surface of 50% or more of the surface area of the lower surface 32 of the first wiring 3 being approximately parallel to the second lower surface 22b and arranged inside the first lower surface 22a. The wiring board 1a is rectangular in top view, and the side of the wiring board 1a includes a front surface 11, a right side surface 12 and a left side surface 13 adjacent to the front surface 11, and a back surface 14 opposite the front surface 11 and adjacent to the right side surface 12 and the left side surface 13. The first wiring 3 is present on the front surface 11, the right side surface 12, the left side surface 13, and the back surface 14. The top surface 21 includes a first top surface 21a located on the outermost side, and a second top surface 21b located inside the first top surface 21a. The ceramic substrate 2 has a recess 25 defined by the second top surface 21b and a fifth side surface 24 located between the first top surface 21a and the second top surface 21b. The wiring board 1a has a second wiring 5 in the recess 25. The second wiring 5 has a thickness of 80% or more of the height from the second upper surface 21b to the first upper surface 21a of the ceramic substrate 2, and is disposed in contact with the second upper surface 21b. A main surface of 50% or more of the surface area of the upper surface 52 of the second wiring 5 is substantially parallel to the second upper surface 21b, and is disposed inside the first upper surface 21a. The wiring substrate 1a has a first metal layer 4 disposed on the lower surface 32 of the first wiring 3. The wiring substrate 1a has a second metal layer 6 disposed on the upper surface 52 of the second wiring 5. As shown in FIG. 4, in a cross-sectional view in the thickness direction of the ceramic substrate 2, a first corner 27 defined by the first lower surface 22a and the second side surface 23b is rounded, and the first metal layer 4 covers the first corner 27. A second corner portion 28 defined by the first upper surface 21a and the fifth side surface 24 is rounded, and the second metal layer 6 covers the second corner portion 28.
[0013] (Method of Manufacturing Wiring Board) A method for manufacturing a wiring board 1a according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure includes: (a) preparing a ceramic substrate 2 having an upper surface 21, a lower surface 22 opposite to the upper surface 21, and a side surface 23 between the upper surface 21 and the lower surface 22, the lower surface 22 having a first lower surface 22a which is the outermost surface and a second lower surface 22b which is the inner surface of the first lower surface 22a, the side surface 23 having a first side surface 23a which is the outermost surface and a second side surface 23b which is the innermost surface on the lower surface 22 side; (b) arranging a first conductive paste on the second lower surface 22b to form a first conductive paste layer 41; and (c) forming a first conductive paste layer 41 on the second lower surface 22b. (d) polishing or grinding the first wiring intermediate 43 to form a first wiring 3 having a main surface that accounts for 50% or more of the surface area of the lower surface 32 of the first wiring 3, which is approximately parallel to the second lower surface 22b and is positioned more inward than the first lower surface 22a, wherein (b) in forming the first wiring 3, the first wiring 3 has a thickness that is 80% or more of the height from the second lower surface 22b to the first lower surface 22a, is positioned in contact with the second lower surface 22b and the second side surface 23b, and the side surface 31 of the first wiring 3 is exposed from the first side surface 23a of the ceramic substrate 2.
[0014] The method for manufacturing the wiring board 1a of the first embodiment according to the present disclosure preferably further includes, in preparing the ceramic substrate 2, preparing the ceramic substrate 2 having, on the upper surface 21, a first upper surface 21a and a second upper surface 21b located inside the first upper surface 21a. Furthermore, after preparing the ceramic substrate 2, it is preferable to further include disposing a second conductive paste on the second upper surface 21b to form a second conductive paste layer 42, and in forming the first wiring intermediate body 43, firing the second conductive paste layer 42 to form a second wiring intermediate body 44. Note that, in the method for manufacturing the wiring board of the present disclosure, these steps may not be present. That is, the wiring substrate of the present disclosure may not have the second upper surface 21b and the second wiring 5. In other words, the upper surface 21 of the ceramic substrate 2 may be only the first upper surface 21a.
[0015] The method for manufacturing the wiring board 1a of the first embodiment according to the present disclosure preferably further includes (e) forming a first metal layer 4 on the lower surface 32 of the first wiring 3. The method for manufacturing the wiring board 1a of the first embodiment according to the present disclosure preferably further includes forming a second metal layer 6 on the upper surface 52 of the second wiring 5.
[0016] Each step will be described in detail below.
[0017] (a) Preparing a ceramic substrate A ceramic substrate 2 is prepared (FIG. 5A).
[0018] The ceramic substrate 2 is an insulating member that will later become a base on which the first wiring 3 and the second wiring 5 are arranged. The ceramic substrate 2 has an upper surface 21, a lower surface 22 opposite to the upper surface 21, and a side surface 23 between the upper surface 21 and the lower surface 22. The lower surface 22 has a first lower surface 22a that is the outermost surface, and a second lower surface 22b that is located inside the first lower surface 22a. The side surface 23 has a first side surface 23a that is the outermost surface, and a second side surface 23b that is the innermost surface on the lower surface 22 side. The second lower surface 22b and the second side surface 23b define a first arrangement portion 26. The first wiring 3 is arranged in the first arrangement portion 26. The upper surface 21 has a first upper surface 21a that is the outermost surface, and a second upper surface 21b that is located inside the first upper surface 21a. The ceramic substrate 2 has a second upper surface 21b and a recess 25 defined by a fifth side surface 24 between the first upper surface 21a and the second upper surface 21b. Although one ceramic substrate 2 is illustrated, an aggregate substrate in which a plurality of ceramic substrates 2 are aligned in row and column directions can be used.
[0019] From the viewpoint of heat dissipation, ceramics having high thermal conductivity are preferable as the material for the ceramic substrate 2. For example, nitride-based ceramics such as silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, and boron nitride are preferable as the material for the ceramic substrate 2, but oxide-based ceramics such as aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, calcium oxide, and magnesium oxide may also be used.
[0020] The thickness of the ceramic substrate 2 is preferably, for example, 0.08 mm or more and 2 mm or less. The thickness of the ceramic substrate 2 means the distance between the first upper surface 21a and the first lower surface 22a.
[0021] The first arrangement portions 26 are rectangular in plan view and have a long side direction and a short side direction. The two first arrangement portions 26 are arranged side by side with their long sides facing each other.
[0022] The recess 25 has a rectangular shape in a plan view and has a long side direction and a short side direction. The two recesses 25 are arranged side by side with their long sides facing each other.
[0023] As shown in FIG. 4, in a cross-sectional view in the thickness direction of the ceramic substrate 2, a first corner 27 defined by the first lower surface 22a and the second side surface 23b is rounded. In addition, in a cross-sectional view in the thickness direction of the ceramic substrate 2, a second corner 28 defined by the first upper surface 21a and the fifth side surface 24 is rounded. Since the first corner 27 and the second corner 28 are rounded, the contact areas between the ceramic substrate 2 and the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 are increased, respectively, and thus the adhesiveness is improved. In addition, since the distance from the first lower surface 22a to the first wiring 3 and the distance from the first upper surface 21a to the second wiring 5 are increased, the length of the portion where the ceramic substrate 2 contacts the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 in the cross-sectional view is increased. That is, the intrusion path of substances from the external environment, such as oxygen, sulfur, and moisture, is increased. Therefore, substances entering from the external environment are less likely to reach the first wiring 3 and the second wiring 5, and deterioration of the first wiring 3 and the second wiring 5 can be suppressed. Typically, sulfurization of the first wiring 3 and the second wiring 5 is suppressed.
[0024] It is preferable that the inner surfaces defining the first arrangement portion 26 and the recess 25, i.e., the second lower surface 22b, the second side surface 23b, the second upper surface 21b, and the fifth side surface 24, are roughened. By roughening the surfaces, peeling of the first wiring 3 and the second wiring 5 disposed in the first arrangement portion 26 and the recess 25 can be reduced. The arithmetic mean roughness Ra of the inner surfaces defining the first arrangement portion 26 and the recess 25 can be, for example, 200 nm or more and 2 μm or less, and preferably 300 nm or more and 800 nm or less. The arithmetic mean roughness Ra may be measured in accordance with JIS B 0601 using a stylus-type surface roughness meter (for example, SE3500 manufactured by Kosaka Laboratory Co., Ltd.) equipped with a diamond stylus with a tip curvature radius r of 2 μm.
[0025] The ceramic substrate 2 is a sintered substrate. If a conductive paste is applied using a green sheet before sintering, the green sheet may warp or shrink significantly, making it difficult to precisely arrange the first wiring 3 and the second wiring 5. In contrast, in this embodiment, a sintered ceramic substrate is used and the conductive paste is applied, so warping and shrinkage are significantly reduced and the first wiring 3 and the second wiring 5 can be precisely arranged.
[0026] The ceramic substrate 2 may be formed by firing ceramics, or a fired substrate such as a commercially available product may be used. The first arrangement portion 26 and the recess 25 in the ceramic substrate 2 may be present in advance, or may be formed after purchasing a fired substrate such as a commercially available product. Also, a substrate on which the first arrangement portion 26 and the recess 25 are formed may be purchased as the ceramic substrate 2.
[0027] The first arrangement portion 26 and the recess 25 can be formed by, for example, etching, blasting, or laser processing, but laser processing is preferable because it can form the recess 25 with high accuracy. Note that only one of the etching, blasting, and laser processing may be performed, or two or more of them may be combined. During such processing, the first corner portion 27 and the second corner portion 28 may be rounded.
[0028] The etching can be performed by wet etching or dry etching, and wet etching is preferable. The wet etching can form the curved first arrangement portion 26 by etching using an acidic or alkaline agent such as HF, NHF, KOH, NaOH, or CsOH.
[0029] In blasting, abrasive grains are collided with the upper surface 21 or the lower surface 22 in a perpendicular direction, thereby polishing or grinding the ceramic substrate 2 to form a desired shape.
[0030] Prior to the etching or blasting process, a resist having a predetermined pattern may be disposed. For example, the resist is formed as follows.
[0031] A dry film is attached to the upper surface 21 and the lower surface 22 of the ceramic substrate 2. The dry film is a sheet-like photoresist. For example, a dry film that hardens in an exposed area is used.
[0032] Next, the dry film is exposed to light and developed. Before exposure, a mask is attached over the dry film. The mask has a light-shielding pattern in the area where the first arrangement portion 26 and the recess 25 are to be formed. Next, light is irradiated to perform exposure. The light is, for example, ultraviolet light. The light is transmitted through the areas other than the light-shielding pattern, and the dry film in those positions is hardened. In the subsequent development, the mask is removed, and the unhardened parts of the dry film are dissolved and removed with an alkaline aqueous solution or the like. The hardened parts remain without being dissolved and removed, forming a resist.
[0033] The resist is removed after etching or blasting.
[0034] For example, preparing the ceramic substrate may include arranging a photoresist on the upper surface 21 and / or the lower surface 22 of the ceramic substrate 2, exposing and developing the photoresist through a mask, etching or blasting the ceramic substrate 2 through the photoresist formed in a predetermined pattern by the exposure and development, forming the first arrangement portion 26 and / or the recessed portion 25 by etching or blasting, and removing the photoresist from the ceramic substrate 2. Alternatively, the ceramic substrate may be prepared, and the first arrangement portion 26 and / or the recessed portion 25 may be formed by directly irradiating the substrate with a laser without using a photoresist.
[0035] (b) forming a conductive paste layer; A first conductive paste is disposed on the second lower surface 22b to form a first conductive paste layer 41. In the first embodiment, a second conductive paste is disposed on the second upper surface 21b to form a second conductive paste layer 42 (FIG. 5B). The first conductive paste and the second conductive paste may be collectively referred to as the conductive paste. The first conductive paste layer and the second conductive paste layer may be collectively referred to as the conductive paste layer.
[0036] A first conductive paste is placed in the first placement portion 26 of the ceramic substrate 2 to form a first conductive paste layer 41. The first conductive paste layer 41 becomes the first wiring 3 by firing. The first conductive paste is a member having fluidity, and can be applied and placed so as to adhere to the second lower surface 22b and the second side surface 23b. Similarly, a second conductive paste is placed in the recess 25 of the ceramic substrate 2 to form a second conductive paste layer 42. The second conductive paste layer 42 becomes the second wiring 5 by firing. The conductive paste can be applied and placed so as to adhere to the second upper surface 21b and the fifth side surface 24. Here, the first placement portion 26 and the recess 25 are filled with the conductive paste up to a position higher than the height of the first lower surface 22a and the first upper surface 21a. The present disclosure is not limited to such an embodiment, and the conductive paste may be placed, for example, up to the same position as the first lower surface 22a and the first upper surface 21a, or up to a position lower than the first lower surface 22a and the first upper surface 21a. In this case, the second wiring intermediate body may be used as the second wiring 5 as it is.
[0037] The conductive paste contains a first metal powder. The first metal powder may contain at least one selected from Ag, Cu, Al, Zn, Sn, Ni, and an Ag-Cu alloy. Among these, an Ag-Cu alloy that can be fired at a relatively low temperature of 780°C to 950°C is preferred. The Ag-Cu alloy may also contain Cu, Ag, etc. together with the Ag-Cu alloy having high electrical conductivity. This allows firing at a temperature lower than the melting points of Ag and Cu, and allows wiring to be formed that has a thermal conductivity close to that of 100% Ag or Cu. When the conductive paste containing the first metal powder is placed in the first arrangement portion 26 or the recess 25, the size of the first metal powder may be smaller than the depth of the first arrangement portion 26 or the recess 25. For example, the median diameter of the first metal powder is preferably 0.5 μm to 50 μm, more preferably 0.8 μm to 20 μm, and particularly preferably 1 μm to 3 μm. By setting the median diameter of the first metal powder to 1 μm or more, aggregation can be suppressed and thermal conductivity can be increased. On the other hand, by setting the median diameter of the first metal powder to 3 μm or less, packing properties can be increased. In addition, the shape of the first metal powder is preferably spherical or elliptical from the viewpoint of fluidity, but it may also be flat or acicular. This is because the flat or acicular shape can increase contact between particles, increase thermal conductivity, and reduce electrical resistance.
[0038] The conductive paste may contain at least an active metal powder. The active metal powder may be at least one selected from TiH2, CeH2, ZrH2, and MgH2. Among these, TiH2 is preferable. By containing TiH2, it reacts with nitrogen contained in the ceramic substrate 2 to form a metal compound layer that becomes a reaction layer such as TiN at the interface with the ceramic substrate 2. This improves the adhesion between the ceramic substrate 2 and the first wiring 3 and second wiring 5, which are formed by hardening the conductive paste.
[0039] The conductive paste may further contain a first organic solvent. Examples of the first organic solvent include those used in general conductive pastes. For example, glycol-based solvents, carbitol-based solvents, and terpineol-based solvents are included.
[0040] The conductive paste may further include a first organic resin binder. The viscosity of the conductive paste can be adjusted by the type and amount of the first organic resin binder. The first organic resin binder may be, for example, a solvent generally used in conductive pastes, or a resin material such as acrylic, epoxy, urethane, ethyl cellulose, silicone, phenol, polyimide, polyurethane, melamine, or urea. The organic binder is decomposed and evaporated by firing, which will be described later.
[0041] The conductive paste may contain a plurality of inorganic fillers other than metal. By containing the inorganic filler, the volumetric shrinkage of the conductive paste during sintering can be reduced. As the inorganic filler, for example, AlN, Si3N4, etc. can be used.
[0042] The first conductive paste and the second conductive paste may be the same or different, but preferably the first conductive paste and the second conductive paste are the same.
[0043] (c) Firing the conductive paste layer to form a wiring intermediate body. The first conductive paste layer 41 is fired to form a first wiring intermediate body 43. In the first embodiment, the second conductive paste layer 42 is fired at the same time to form a second wiring intermediate body 44 (FIG. 5C).
[0044] The firing temperature when firing the conductive paste layer can be 700° C. or more and 1200° C. or less, preferably 750° C. or more and 1100° C. or less, more preferably 780° C. or more and 950° C. or less, and particularly preferably 780° C. or more and 850° C. or less. -3 It is preferable to use a vacuum atmosphere of less than 1 Pa or an Ar atmosphere of 99.9% or more.
[0045] The wiring intermediate body may be formed by a method other than forming a conductive paste layer and firing it. As another method, a plating seed layer may be formed on both sides of the ceramic substrate including the first arrangement portion 26 and / or the recessed portion 25 by sputtering or the like, and then the wiring intermediate body may be formed by electrolytic plating, for example, electrolytic copper plating.
[0046] (d) Polishing or grinding the intermediate wiring body to form wiring. The first wiring intermediate body 43 is polished or ground to form a first wiring 3 in which a main surface of 50% or more of the surface area of the lower surface 32 of the first wiring 3 is substantially parallel to the second lower surface 22b and is disposed inside the first lower surface 22a. The formed first wiring 3 and the first lower surface 22a are preferably separated. In the first embodiment, the second wiring intermediate body 44 is polished or ground to form a second wiring 5 in which a main surface of 50% or more of the surface area of the upper surface 52 of the second wiring 5 is substantially parallel to the second upper surface 21b and is disposed inside the first upper surface 21a (FIG. 5D). The formed second wiring 5 and the first upper surface 21a are preferably separated.
[0047] The first wiring intermediate body 43 is polished and ground so that the main surface of 50% or more, preferably 80% or more, more preferably 90% or more, and even more preferably 95% or more of the surface area of the lower surface 32 of the first wiring 3 is substantially parallel to the second lower surface 22b. The first wiring 3 may be located at a higher position than the main surface at a portion contacting the second side surface 23b. That is, the first wiring 3 may be located closer to the first lower surface 22a than the main surface at a portion contacting the second side surface 23b. For example, the first wiring 3 may be at the same height as the first lower surface 22a at the boundary portion with the first lower surface 22a. Note that substantially parallel may include not only the case where the first wiring 3 is strictly parallel, but also the case where the deviation from parallel is 5° or less (typically 3° or less). The first wiring intermediate body 43 is polished and ground so that the first wiring 3 is disposed inside the first lower surface 22a. Here, "the first wiring 3 is disposed on the inside of the first lower surface 22a" means that the main surface of the first wiring 3 is located on the inside of the first lower surface 22a. For example, the boundary portion of the first wiring 3 with the first lower surface 22a may be at the same height as the first lower surface 22a, and the other portion may be located on the inside of the first lower surface 22a. Preferably, the polishing and grinding are performed so that the first wiring 3 and the first lower surface 22a are separated from each other. As described above, substances that enter from the external environment, such as oxygen, sulfur, and moisture, are less likely to reach the first wiring 3, and deterioration of the first wiring 3 can be suppressed.
[0048] The polishing and grinding of the second wiring intermediate body 44 is performed so that the main surface of 50% or more, preferably 80% or more, more preferably 90% or more, and even more preferably 95% or more of the surface area of the upper surface 52 of the second wiring 5 is approximately parallel to the second upper surface 21b. The second wiring 5 may be located at a higher position than the main surface at a portion contacting the fifth side surface 24. That is, the second wiring 5 may be located closer to the first upper surface 21a than the main surface at a portion contacting the fifth side surface 24. For example, the second wiring 5 may be at the same height as the first upper surface 21a at the boundary portion with the first upper surface 21a. The polishing and grinding of the second wiring intermediate body 44 is performed so that the second wiring 5 is disposed inside the first upper surface 21a. Here, "the second wiring 5 is disposed inside the first upper surface 21a" means that the main surface of the second wiring 5 is located inside the first upper surface 21a. For example, the boundary portion between the second wiring 5 and the first upper surface 21a may be at the same height as the first upper surface 21a, and the other portion may be located inside the first upper surface 21a. Preferably, the polishing and grinding are performed so that the second wiring 5 and the first upper surface 21a are separated from each other.
[0049] The polishing or grinding can be carried out, for example, by polishing with abrasive grains or by grinding with a grindstone embedded with diamonds.
[0050] In forming the first wiring, it is preferable to polish or grind the first wiring intermediate body so that the main surface of the lower surface 32 of the first wiring 3 is located at least 0.4 μm or more, for example 0.6 μm or more, 0.8 μm or more, or 1.0 μm or more, inside the first lower surface 22 a. The main surface of the lower surface 32 of the first wiring 3 is preferably located within 5.0 μm, for example 3.0 μm or less, 2.0 μm or less, or 1.5 μm or less, from the first lower surface 22 a.
[0051] In forming the second wiring, it is preferable to polish or grind the second wiring intermediate body so that the main surface of the upper surface 52 of the second wiring 5 is located at least 0.4 μm or more, for example 0.6 μm or more, 0.8 μm or more, or 1.0 μm or more inside the first upper surface 21 a. The main surface of the upper surface 52 of the second wiring 5 is preferably located within 5.0 μm, for example 3.0 μm or less, 2.0 μm or less, or 1.5 μm or less, from the first upper surface 21 a.
[0052] In the wiring board of the present disclosure, the subsequent step (e) may not be performed, and the first wiring intermediate body and the second wiring intermediate body may serve as the first wiring and the second wiring, respectively.
[0053] (e) forming a metal layer on the wiring; After the first wiring 3 is formed, the first metal layer 4 is further formed on the lower surface 32 of the first wiring 3. In forming the first metal layer 4, the first metal layer 4 is formed so that the surface 4a of the first metal layer 4 and the first lower surface 22a are flush with each other or the surface 4a of the first metal layer 4 is more convex than the first lower surface 22a. The height of the convexity from the first lower surface 22a is preferably 3 μm or less. After forming the second wiring 5, the second metal layer 6 is further formed on the upper surface 52 of the second wiring 5. In forming the second metal layer 6, the second metal layer 6 is formed so that the surface 6a of the second metal layer 6 and the first upper surface 21a are flush with each other or the surface 6a of the second metal layer 6 is more convex than the first upper surface 21a (FIG. 5E). The height of the convexity from the first upper surface 21a is preferably 3 μm or less. The first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 may be collectively referred to as a metal layer. Here, the surface 4a of the first metal layer 4 being flush with the first lower surface 22a means that the main surface of the surface 4a of the first metal layer 4 is flush with the first lower surface 22a. For example, even if the edge of the first metal layer 4 is located outside the first lower surface 22a, it is sufficient that the main surface of the surface 4a of the first metal layer 4 is flush with the first lower surface 22a. The same applies to the surface 6a of the second metal layer 6 and the first upper surface 21a.
[0054] The metal layer may contain at least one selected from, for example, gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium, nickel, tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, and titanium. The metal layer may be a single layer or may be a multilayer. The metal layer may be formed by, for example, plating (electrolytic plating or electroless plating), vapor deposition, sputtering, or the like. At least one of the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 is preferably formed by plating. It is particularly preferable that both the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 are formed by plating. The metal layer may be formed through a mask. The first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 may have the same structure or different structures. For example, the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 may contain the same metal or different metals. In addition, the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 may have the same layer structure or different layer structures.
[0055] In forming the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6, it is preferable to press the edge of at least one of the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6. That is, it is preferable to press at least one of the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 at the boundary portion with the ceramic substrate 2 toward the inside in the thickness direction of the ceramic substrate 2. At least one edge of the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 is formed in a state floating from the ceramic substrate 2, and a gap may be generated between at least one of the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 and the ceramic substrate 2. By pressing, at least one of the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 is more closely attached to the ceramic substrate 2, and the gap between at least one of the first metal layer 4 and the second metal layer 6 and the ceramic substrate 2 is reduced. This makes it possible to suppress the deterioration of the first wiring 3 and the second wiring 5 due to the influence of the external environment. Typically, sulfurization of the first wiring 3 and the second wiring 5 is suppressed.
[0056] When an aggregate substrate in which a plurality of ceramic substrates 2 are aligned in row and column directions is used, after the metal layer is formed, the aggregate substrate is cut to separate the individual wiring substrates 1a. The cutting can be performed, for example, by a laser or a blade.

In the wiring board 1c, the first wiring 3 is continuously disposed in contact with the second side surface 23b, the second lower surface 22b, the third side surface 23c, and the third lower surface 22c.
[0064] By disposing the first metal layer 4 on the side surface 33 of the first wiring 3, the solder wettability to the side surface of the wiring board is improved, and heat dissipation is improved.
[0065] The side surface 33 of the first wiring 3 and the fourth side surface 23d of the ceramic substrate 2 are preferably on the same plane.

[0067] (Fourth embodiment) A wiring board 1d according to the fourth embodiment and a manufacturing method thereof will be described with reference to Fig. 10 and Fig. 11A to Fig. 11C. Fig. 10 is a schematic bottom view of the wiring board 1d.
[0068] The wiring board 1d of the fourth embodiment is rectangular when viewed from above, and differs from the wiring board 1a of the first embodiment in that the side surfaces of the wiring board 1d include a front surface 11, a right side surface 12 and a left side surface 13 adjacent to the front surface 11, and a back surface 14 opposite the front surface 11 and adjacent to the right side surface 12 and the left side surface 13, and the first wiring 3 is present on the right side surface 12 and the left side surface 13, but not on the front surface 11 or the back surface 14.
[0069] The manufacturing method of the wiring board 1d of the fourth embodiment differs from the manufacturing method of the wiring board 1a of the first embodiment in that (a) in preparing a ceramic substrate 2, a ceramic substrate 2 is prepared in which a first lower surface 22a is further disposed along the front surface 35 and the back surface 36 of the ceramic substrate 2.
[0070] (Variation 1) Fig. 12 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a wiring board 1e according to Modification 1.

In the composite board 101a, the connection member 64 is arranged so as to contact both the first metal layer 4 and the side of the first wiring 3. By arranging the connection member 64 up to the side of the first wiring 3, the contact area between the connection member 64 and the wiring board 1e is increased, and the connection strength and thermal conductivity are improved. Note that, when the first metal layer 4 does not exist, the connection member 64 is arranged so as to contact both the lower surface of the first wiring 3 and the side of the first wiring 3.
