A lid material (1) according to the present invention comprises: a base layer (2) composed of a low thermal expansion metal; an intermediate metal layer (3) provided on one surface of the base layer (2) and composed of a low proof stress metal having a proof stress of not greater than 110 N/mm<2>; and a brazing material layer (4) provided on the intermediate metal layer (3) and composed of a silver brazing alloy mainly comprising silver. The intermediate metal layer (3) and the brazing material layer (4) are press- and diffusion-bonded to each other, and the brazing material layer (4) has a blistered area ratio of not greater than 0.5% as observed on an outer surface of the brazing material layer. The low proof stress metal is preferably oxygen-free copper. A lid produced from the lid material (1) exhibits an excellent bonding property when the lid is brazed to a case mainly composed of a ceramic material for an electronic component package. Further, the lid suppresses the breakage of the case, and ensures excellent brazing workability. <IMAGE> |
