• removing at least a portion of material from at least one of the first major surface or the second major surface of the at least one ceramic-containing material and form one or more structural features;
• providing at least one metal cover plate;
• disposing the at least one metal cover plate adjacent the at least one ceramic-containing material and covering the one or more structural features;
• and,
