The invention relates to a substrate for holding at least one component and method for producing the same, the component (4) is specially a power
semiconductor, the substrate has a substrate body (1) provided at the front and rear sides with an
electrically conductive layer (3, 3a, 3b). For improving the
thermal conductivity of the
electrically conductive layer (3, 3a, 3b), an electrically insulated connection layer (2, 2a, 2b) is provided between the substrate body (1) and the
electrically conductive layer (3, 3a, 3b), which has a duroplastic matrix formed from the pre-
ceramic polymer. In the method for producing the substrate, the electrically conductive layer (3, 3a, 3b), in the presence of the pre-
ceramic polymer, is connected with the substrate body (1), then the pre-
ceramic polymer is transformed into the thermosetting form, thereby the electrically insulated connection layer (2, 2a, 2b) is formed for connecting the electrically conductive layer (3, 3a, 3b) and the substrate body (1).
