A method for securing electronic components, in particular power semiconductor components such as diodes, transistors or thyristors, and connection elements, to a substrate by pressure sintering. The method includes: applying a pastelike layer, made up of a metal powder and a solvent, to a supporting film; drying the pastelike layer; applying at least one component to the dried layer; subjecting the at least one component, the supporting film and the dried layer to pressure, as a result of which the adhesive force between the layer and the component becomes greater than that between the layer and the supporting film; lifting off the at least one component, with the layer adhering to it, from the supporting film; positioning the component, with the layer adhering to it, to the substrate; and subjecting the substrate and the component to pressure, for connecting them by sintering.

Method for securing electronic components to a substrate

An electronic power module includes at least one electronic power device, a DCB ceramic substrate, a heat sink and at least one additional thermal capacitance. The electronic power devices are connected by a sintered layer on their underside to an upper copper layer of the DCB ceramic substrate. The upper copper layer of the DCB ceramic substrate is structured into copper conductor tracks for electrically contacting the power devices. The lower copper layer of the DCB ceramic substrate is connected by a sintered layer to a heat sink. The upper sides of the power devices are connected by a sintered layer to an addition thermal capacitance.
