The invention relates to a method for producing a metal-ceramic substrate including first and second metallizations and at least one ceramic layer incorporated between the first and second metallizations. Advantageously, first and second metal layers and the at least one ceramic layer are stacked superposed, and in such a way that the free edge sections, of the first and second metal layers respectively, project beyond the edges of the at least one ceramic layer and the first and second metal layers are deformed toward each other in the region of the projecting free edge sections and directly connected to each other in order to form a gas-tight, sealed metal container enclosing a container interior for receiving the at least one ceramic layer. Subsequently, the metal layers forming the metal container with the at least one ceramic layer received in the container interior are hot isostatically pressed together in a treatment chamber at a gas pressure between 500 and 2000 bar and at a process temperature between 300° C. and the melting temperature of the metal layers for producing a preferably flat connection of at least one of the metal layers and the at least one ceramic layer, and at least the projecting free edge sections, which are connected to each other, of the metal layers for forming the first and second metallization are subsequently removed. |
