Abstract

A method for producing a stable sandwich arrangement of two components with solder situated therebetween comprises the steps: (1) providing two components, which each have at least one contact area, and one free solder preform, (2) producing a sandwich arrangement of the components and a solder preform, which is arranged between said components and is not yet connected to said components, by bringing into contact (i) in each case one of the contact areas or (ii) in each case the single contact area of the components or (iii) one of the contact areas of one component and the single contact area of the other component with the contact areas of the free solder preform, and (3) hot-pressing the sandwich arrangement produced in step (2) so as to form the stable sandwich arrangement at a temperature which lies at 10 to 40% below the melting point, expressed in °C, of the solder metal of the solder preform. Each of the two components can be selected from the group consisting of substrates, active components and passive components. The combination of pressure and pressing duration can lie in a range which causes a reduction in the original thickness of the originally free solder preform of <10%. The method can comprise the further steps: (4) heating the stable sandwich arrangement to a temperature above the melting point of the solder metal of the solder connection which connects the two components, and (5) cooling down the sandwich arrangement to below the solidification temperature of the molten solder metal, which is situated between the components, so as to form a solder connection between the components.

Abstract

Method for producing a component which is connected to a solder preform comprises the steps of: (1) providing a component, which has at least one contact face, and a free solder preform, (2) producing an arrangement comprising the component and the solder preform, which is not yet connected to it, by bringing one or the only contact face of the component into contact with a contact face of the free solder preform, and (3) hot-pressing the arrangement, which is produced in step (2), so as to form the component, which is connected to the solder preform, at a temperature which is 10 to 40% below the melting point of the solder metal of the solder preform expressed in °C and a combination of pressing force and pressing duration which in the process creates a reduction in the original thickness of the originally free solder preform of <10%. The component can be a substrate, an active component or a passive component. The method can comprise the further steps of: (4) producing a sandwich arrangement comprising solder preform which is connected to the component and a further component which is to be connected thereto by bringing the outwardly facing solder metal contact face of the solder preform, which is connected to the component, into contact with one or the only contact face of the further component, (5) heating the sandwich arrangement to a temperature above the melting point of the solder metal of the solder preform, and (6) cooling down the sandwich arrangement to below the solidification temperature of the molten solder metal which is located between the components, so as to form a solder connection between the components. As an alternative, the method can comprise, instead of steps (4)-(6), the further steps of: (4') producing a sandwich arrangement comprising solder preform, which is connected to the component, and a further component, which is to be connected thereto, by bringing the outwardly facing solder metal contact face of the solder preform, which is connected to the component, into contact with one or the only contact face of the further component, and (5') hot-pressing the sandwich arrangement which is produced in step (4') at a temperature which is 10 to 40% below the melting point of the solder metal of the solder preform, which is connected to the component which is provided in step (1), expressed in °C, so as to form a solder connection between the components, wherein the combination of pressing force and pressing duration which acts during step (5') lies in a region which can cause a reduction in the thickness of the connected solder preform of <10%.
