  • Patent number: 9630379
    Abstract: Laminated composite (10) comprising at least one electronic substrate (11) and an arrangement of layers (20, 30) made up of at least a first layer (20) of a first metal and/or a first metal alloy and of a second layer (30) of a second metal and/or a second metal alloy adjacent to this first layer (20), wherein the melting temperatures of the first and second layers are different, and wherein, after a thermal treatment of the arrangement of layers (20, 30), a region with at least one intermetallic phase (40) is formed between the first layer and the second layer, wherein the first layer (20) or the second layer (30) is formed by a reaction solder which consists of a mixture of a basic solder with an AgX, CuX or NiX alloy, wherein the component X of the AgX, CuX or NiX alloy is selected from the group consisting of B, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Se, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ag, In, Sn, Sb, Ba, Hf, Ta, W, Au, Bi, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Gd, Dy, Sm, Er, Tb, Eu, Ho, Tm, Yb and Lu and wherein the melti

  • Publication number: 20160064350
    Abstract: A connection arrangement includes at least one electric and/or electronic component. The at least one electric and/or electronic component has at least one connection face, which is connected in a bonded manner to a join partner by means of a connection layer. The connection layer can for example be an adhesive, soldered, welded, sintered connection or another known connection that connects joining partners while forming a material connection. Furthermore, a reinforcement layer is arranged adjacent to the connection layer in a bonded manner. The reinforcement layer has a higher modulus of elasticity than the connection layer. A particularly good protective effect is achieved if the reinforcement layer is formed in a frame-like manner by an outer and an inner boundary and, at least with the outer boundary thereof, encloses the connection face of the at least one electric and/or electronic component.

  • Patent number: 9177934
    Abstract: The connection arrangement (100, 200, 300, 400) comprises at least one electric and/or electronic component (1). The at least one electric and/or electronic component (10) has at least one connection face (11), which is connected in a bonded manner to a join partner (40) by means of a connection layer (20). The connection layer (20) can for example be an adhesive, soldered, welded, sintered connection or another known connection that connects joining partners while forming a material connection. Furthermore, a reinforcement layer (30?) is arranged adjacent to the connection layer (20) in a bonded manner. The reinforcement layer (30?) has a higher modulus of elasticity than the connection layer (20). A particularly good protective effect is achieved if the reinforcement layer (30?) is formed in a frame-like manner by an outer and an inner boundary (36, 35) and, at least with the outer boundary (36) thereof, encloses the connection face (11) of the at least one electric and/or electronic component (10).

  • Publication number: 20150123263
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for joining a semiconductor (20) to a substrate (10), comprising the following steps: •applying a first paste layer (1) of a sintering paste to the substrate; •heating and compressing the first paste layer to form a first sintered layer; •applying a second paste layer (2) of a sintering paste to the first sintered layer and arranging a semiconductor (20) on the second paste layer; •heating and compressing the second paste layer (2) to form a second sintered layer. The invention further relates to a semiconductor component produced by means of the method.
