It's very late run ceramic. Ceramic for chip
substrates only comes from a
few vendors one being a beer maker in the rockies a few in the far east and
Europe.
heh... actually, Adolph Coors spun-off its non-brewery assets in 1992
into ACX Technologies, and most recently, CoorsTek (formerly Coors
Ceramics) was spun-off into a wholly separate company on Jan 1, 2000.

Back in the early days of 64k DRAMs, the COORS ceramics were described as having
too much radioactivity for use in high-density memories. I'm not sure that was,
in fact, the case, but somebody seems to have thought so. Do you suppose they
fixed that? Coors was a leader, in the '60's in porcelain tooling and other
such oddities, not to mention having "perfected" the draw-and-iron process for
making thin-walled aluminum beverage cans.
