Abstract

A ceramic copper circuit board according to an embodiment includes a ceramic substrate and a first copper part. The first copper part is bonded at a first surface of the ceramic substrate via a first brazing material part. The thickness of the first copper part is 0.6 mm or more. The side surface of the first copper part includes a first sloped portion. The width of the first sloped portion is not more than 0.5 times the thickness of the first copper part. The first brazing material part includes a first jutting portion jutting from the end portion of the first sloped portion. The length of the first jutting portion is not less than 0 μm and not more than 200 μm. The contact angle between the first jutting portion and the first sloped portion is 65° or less.
