Abstract: A method for manufacturing a composite structure includes: an application step including providing a bonding material on a base member by applying a metal paste onto the base member; a preheating step including heating the bonding material before an element to be bonded is stacked on the bonding material and thereby drying the bonding material until a percentage of an organic component in the bonding material becomes 3% by mass and equal to or less than 8% by mass with respect to the bonding material; a mounting step including stacking the element to be bonded onto the bonding material and heating the bonding material to form a multi-layer stack; and a sintering step including sintering the bonding material by heating the multi-layer stack in a heating furnace and thereby forming the bonding layer.

Abstract: A protector includes a base member and a cover member. The base member includes a pair of guide grooves extending along an attachment direction in which the cover member is attached to the base member and disposed on respective bilateral sides in a width direction perpendicular to the attachment direction, walls facing attachment direction-side ends of guide grooves in the attachment direction, and lock portions facing detachment direction-side ends of the guide grooves in a detachment direction.

Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a bonded body having a structure where a substrate and an electronic part are bonded to each other with a metal particle paste interposed therebetween. The method includes an assembled body forming step where the electronic part is mounted on the substrate with the metal particle paste interposed therebetween, an assembled body arranging step of arranging the assembled body between two heating plates opposite to one another, and a bonding step of bonding the substrate and the electronic part to each other by heating while applying pressure to the assembled body by moving at least one of two heating plates to the other of two heating plates. The bonding step is performed under a condition that a temperature of the assembled body is within 0° C. to 150° C. In the bonding step, a metal particle paste minimally generates a sintering reaction.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a composite nanometal paste which is relatively low in price and is excellent in terms of bonding characteristics, thermal conductivity, and electrical property. The present invention is a copper-filler-containing composite nanometal paste that contains composite nanometal particles each comprising a metal core and an organic coating layer formed thereon. The metal paste contains a copper filler and contains, as binders, first composite nanometal particles and second composite nanometal particles which differ from the first composite nanometal particles in the thermal decomposition temperature of the organic coating layer, wherein the mass proportion W1 of the organic coating layer in the first composite nanometal particles is in the range of 2-13 mass %, the mass proportion W2 of the organic coating layer in the second composite nanometal particles is in the range of 5-25 mass %, and these particles satisfy the relationships W1.

With such a configuration, it is possible to provide a transferring member for being used in a method of manufacturing a bonded body which can suppress the lowering of bonding property between a substrate and an electronic part and which can prevent the remarkable lowering of productivity of a bonded body.
