1. A device comprising:

  • a. a first copper layer;

    b. a ceramic layer;

    c. a second copper layer;

    d. a first active brazing alloy layer bonded between the first copper layer and the ceramic layer to form a first joining layer, wherein the first copper layer and the first joining layer are configured to form a plurality of electrically isolated conductive pads, wherein each of the plurality of electrically isolated pads includes an etched wall extending from a first surface of the first copper layer through the first copper layer and the first joining layer to a first surface of the ceramic layer, the first surface of the first copper layer is distal from the first joining layer, and the first surface of the ceramic layer is proximate to the first joining layer, further wherein a slope of the etched wall through the first joining layer is steeper than a slope of the etched wall through the first copper layer; and

    e. a second active brazing alloy layer bonded between the ceramic layer and the second copper layer to form a second joining layer.
