摘要

Provided is a power module substrate including a ceramic substrate, and a metal plate which contains aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and which is stacked and bonded on a surface of the ceramic substrate, wherein one or more additional elements selected from Ag, Zn, Ge, Mg, Ca, Ga, and Li are solid-solubilized in the metal plate, and the Ag concentration in the metal plate in the vicinity of the interface with the ceramic substrate is greater than or equal to 0.05% by mass and less than or equal to 10% by mass, or the total concentration of Zn, Ge, Mg, Ca, Ga, and Li in the metal plate in the vicinity of the interface with the ceramic substrate is greater than or equal to 0.01% by mass and less than or equal to 5% by mass.
