Abstract: A method and an apparatus for the pressure-sintering connection of a first and a second connection provide a frame element lowerable onto a frame surface surrounding the supporting surface, having a sintering ram lowerable lowered from the normal direction onto the second connection partner and exerts pressure thereon, and converting a sintering paste between the connection partners into a sintered metal, and having an auxiliary apparatus for the arrangement of a separating film for the peripheral covering of the frame surface and the connection partners. This arrangement of the separating film produces an inner region bounded by the frame element and bounded by a separating film portion within the frame element and by the supporting surface, and injection opening and an outlet opening allow a second gas to flush through said inner region from the injection opening to the outlet opening and displace a first gas.

Abstract: A power electronic system with a cooling device, and a method for producing the system, comprising a plurality of submodules, each submodule having a first planar insulating material body, one first conductor track cohesively connected thereto, one power switch arranged on the conductor track, at least one internal connecting device composed of an alternate layer sequence of at least one electrically conductive film and at least one electrically insulating film, wherein at least one electrically conductive layer forms at least one second conductor track, and comprising external connection elements. In this case, the submodules are arranged cohesively or in a force-locking manner and in a manner spaced apart from one another with their first main surface on the cooling device. At least one second conductor track at least partially covers first conductor tracks of two submodules, electrically connects them to one another and covers an interspace between the submodules.
