Abstract

An electrically conductive connection is made between a metal connector and a metal layer applied and bonded by sintering to a ceramic substrate comprising glass and/or vitreous ceramic in small quantities. An adhesion-promoting layer having a glass and/or vitreous ceramic and metal particles is applied and bonded by fusion to the ceramic substrate. The metal layer with the sintered bond is then applied to the ceramic substrate and the connector is welded to the metal layer by laser welding.
