  • Patent number: 8928141
    Abstract: A first substrate provided with a receiving area made from a first metallic material is supplied. A second substrate provided with an insertion area comprising a base surface and at least two bumps made from a second metallic material is arranged facing the first substrate. The bumps are salient from the base surface. A pressure is applied between the first substrate and the second substrate so as to make the bumps penetrate into the receiving area. The first metallic material reacts with the second metallic material so as to form a continuous layer of an intermetallic compound having a base formed by the first and second metallic materials along the interface between the bumps and the receiving area.
