The invention relates to a method for producing an electronic component with a carrier element (100), with the steps: producing the carrier element (100), having the steps A) providing a first metal layer (1) comprising a first metal material, wherein the first metal layer (1) has a first and a second main surface (10, 11) which face away from one another, B) applying a second metal layer (2) comprising a second metal material on at least one of the main surfaces (10, 11), C) converting a part of the second metal layer (2) into a dielectric ceramic layer (3), wherein the second metal material forms a component of the ceramic layer (3), and the ceramic layer (3) forms a surface (30) which faces away from the first metal layer (1) and is above the second metal layer (2);—arranging at least one electronic semiconductor chip (21) on the carrier element (100). The invention further relates to an electronic component with a carrier element (100).
