Abstract

A method for roughening a ceramic substrate surface includes a step of sequentially taking out part of roughening a treatment bath of phosphoric acid into which the ceramic substrate is dipped prior to a formation on the substrate of conductor a layer, and subjecting the part of the bath taken out sequentially to regeneration treatment. Any increase in the viscosity due to dehydrating condensation of the roughening bath can be thereby effectively restrained to prolong effective life of the bath. Further, the surface roughened ceramic substrate can be provided thereon with conductor layers smoothly formed by means of a plating and eventually with a circuit pattern as well as a resistor formed on the pattern within an inert gas atmosphere.
