A method for producing a metal-ceramic substrate includes attaching a metal layer to a surface side of a ceramic layer, the metal layer being structured into a plurality of metallization regions respectively separated from one another by at least one trench-shaped intermediate space to form conductive paths and/or connective surfaces and/or contact surfaces. The method further includes filling the at least one trench-shaped intermediate space with an electrically insulating filler material, and covering first edges of the metallization regions facing and adjoining the surface side of the ceramic layer in the at least one trench-shaped intermediate space, as well as at least one second edge of the metallization regions facing away from the surface side of the ceramic layer in the at least one trench-shaped intermediate space, by the electrically insulating filler material.
