There is provided a dimensionally accurate insulating substrate in which
plane direction-wise shrinkage is practically zero and shrinkage
variations are small. The insulating substrate includes a laminated body
composed of at least two kinds of insulating layers made of
crystallizable glass ceramics. The crystallization temperature of
crystallizable glass contained in the first insulating layer is lower
than the softening point of crystallizable glass contained in the second
insulating layer. The difference in thermal expansion coefficient between
the first and second insulating layers is preferably
2.times.10.sup.-6/.degree. C. or below.
