Abstract: An electronic module comprising one or more assemblies each consisting of a first electronic component with a first contact surface with a first end, wedge-bonded on this first contact surface, and a second electronic component with a second contact surface with a second end, wedge-bonded on this second contact surface, wherein the originally free structure not made of solid metal material is a structure (i) in the form of a ribbon made from warp-knitted, weft-knitted, woven or braided fine metal wire and having a cross-sectional area within a range of 25,000 to 800,000 ?m2, or (ii) in the form of a cable made from stranded fine metal wire and having a cross-sectional area within a range of 8,000 to 600,000 ?m2, or (iii) in the form of a tube made from circular-warp-knitted or circular-weft-knitted fine metal wire and having a cross-sectional area within a range of 8,000 to 600,000 ?m2.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a wire, having at least the following steps: (i) providing a wire precursor; (ii) pressing depressions on the wire precursor and optionally reshaping the wire precursor in the process, and (iii) annealing the wire precursor provided with depressions in order to form the wire; wherein the wire has a content of at least 95 wt. % of copper based on the total weight of the wire. The invention additionally relates to a wire which can be obtained according to the aforementioned method and to the use of a roller in order to produce the wire and/or in order to set the roughness at at least one location of the wire.

Abstract: A method for producing a bondable coating on a metallic carrier strip made of a brass alloy with at least 15 wt. % zinc or an excretion-hardening copper-based alloy containing at least 0.03 wt. % titanium, chromium, zirconium and/or cobalt is provided. According to the method, in a single working step, a bondable metallic functional layer made of aluminum or an aluminum-based alloy and a metallic intermediate layer are placed onto the metallic carrier strip and bonded thereto using a roll cladding method. The intermediate layer is arranged fully between the functional layer and the metallic carrier strip, so that no contact between the functional layer and the metallic carrier strip is created. A coated carrier strip produced using such a method. The intermediate layer is arranged and affixed on the carrier strip and the functional layer is arranged and affixed on the intermediate layer.
