Abstract
In embodiments a method for providing a contacting for a functional ceramic element includes providing a functional ceramic, applying a metal paste to two opposing surfaces of the functional ceramic, laminating ceramic substrate green films on the metal paste on the two opposite surfaces of the functional ceramic, and jointly sintering the functional ceramic, the ceramic substrate green films forming electrically insulating ceramic layers and the metal paste forming electrically conductive metal structures.

A method for providing a contacting for a functional ceramic element, the method comprising:
- providing a functional ceramic;
- applying a metal paste to two opposing surfaces of the functional ceramic;
- laminating ceramic substrate green films on the metal paste on the two opposite surfaces of the functional ceramic;
- and
- jointly sintering the functional ceramic, the ceramic substrate green films forming electrically insulating ceramic layers and the metal paste forming electrically conductive metal structures.
A monolithic functional ceramic element comprising:
- a functional ceramic layer with two opposing surfaces;
- two electrically conductive metal structures with different polarity during operation, which are each arranged in direct contact on one of the opposing surfaces of the functional ceramic layer;
- and
- two electrically insulating ceramic layers, each arranged on one of opposing surfaces of the functional ceramic layer and the metal structures arranged thereon
- wherein the layers are laminated in a stacking direction perpendicular to an outer surface of the functional ceramic element.
