Try Hytel Group. Their Q-Clad should meet any need your have. As for how you
get good adhesion to ceramic...well you buy it already adhered and then
plate up from the clad copper if necessary. Pretty darn simple.

Subject: [TN] copper adhesion to ceramic substrate

I'm trying to get artwork laid out on a ceramic substrate.  Our
instrumentations division can add metal and etch the artwork, but I need to
get a ceramic board that already has copper with a good adhesion to the
ceramic board. (I'm worried about it peeling away when the masking is
removed or the card-edge connector is used)
 
I'm looking for advice on how to ensure I will get good adhesion to the
ceramic and/or a company who can join the copper to the ceramic.  Any help
would be appreciated.
