A ceramic circuit substrate and a manufacturing method thereof are provided, which has excellent thermal shock tolerance by forming a gap between a circuit pattern section and a ceramic substrate, and has a capability to prevent etchant residue from remaining therein. The ceramic circuit substrate according to the present invention includes patterns of brazing material 8 and 9 formed on the ceramic substrate, a circuit pattern section jointed onto the pattern of brazing material; wherein the pattern of brazing material includes a line pattern along the edge of the circuit pattern, and a gap is formed within the line pattern located between the ceramic substrate and the circuit pattern.
