Patent ID: 8415251

Claim:
A method of manufacturing an electrical component, comprising: providing a base body comprised of ceramic, the base body comprising: at least one through-hole contact that reaches a surface of the base body; and at least one metallization surface electrically connected to the at least one through-hole contact; applying a layer of a first material that is electrically insulating above the at least one through-hole contact; applying a second material that is electrically conductive above the at least one through-hole contact; and hardening the second material to form a solder contact that electrically connects to the at least one through-hole contact; wherein providing the base body comprises: preparing a green ceramic structure with a through-hole containing electrically conductive filling; wherein the green ceramic structure has a greater shrinkage than the electrically conductive filling during hardening the second material; and wherein the green ceramic structure and the electrically conductive filling are hardened to produce the base body with the at least one through-hole contact, the at least one through-hole contact projecting above the base body.
