There is provided a substrate excellent in high reflectance, high heat dissipation, withstand voltage property, and thermal and light stability. A substrate (5) includes an aluminum base (10), a reflective layer (17) which is formed between the aluminum base (10) and an electrode pattern (20) for electrical connection with a light emitting element to contain ceramic and reflects light from the light emitting element, and an intermediate layer (16) containing resin and having high thermal conductibility which is formed to reinforce withstand voltage performance of the reflective layer (17).
