Ltcc substrate structure and method for the production thereof

Abstract

An LTCC substrate structure with at least one contact element for connecting a wire conductor, which has a first metallization (20) arranged on and/or in the ceramic substrate for electrical connection to the wire conductor, wherein the first metallization (20) preferably contains silver or a silver alloy. To avoid via posting or a plating process, a diffusion barrier layer covering the first metallization or metal layer, which diffusion barrier layer (22) covering the first metallization (20), which diffusion barrier layer is produced with a locally acting application method, and a second metal layer (24) arranged on the diffusion barrier layer (22) are provided, wherein the second metal layer (24) preferably contains gold and/or platinum and/or an alloy that has at least one of these elements. The invention also discloses a production method for an LTCC substrate structure of this type.
