A solid electrolyte layer or body capable of being co-fired with an insulating
ceramic substrate or body to be used as a gas sensor laminate. The gas sensor laminate
is preferably composed of an alumina substrate (1) and an oxygen-ion conductive
solid electrolyte layer (6) bonded to the alumina substrate (1) by
firing. The oxygen-ion conductive solid electrolyte layer or body is formed from
partially or wholly stabilized zirconia, which layer contains alumina in an amount
of 10% to 80% by weight, particularly 30% to 75% by weight. In this manner, another
ceramic layer; particularly, a ceramic layer (7) of alumina can further
be bonded to the oxygen-ion conductive solid electrolyte layer. The relative density
of the ceramic layer can be 60% to 99.5%, preferably 80% to 99.5%.
