A method having a step of heating a mass forming a braze. Before the heating step, the method includes steps of arranging the mass and the member on the support. In particular, it includes a step of positioning the mass on the support and a step of applying a first compressive force on the mass so as to compress said mass against the support, the intensity of the first force increasing up to a predetermined first value chosen so as to flatten the mass. Next, the method includes a step of positioning the member on the flattened mass and a step of applying a second compressive force to the member so as to compress said member against the flattened mass and the support, the intensity of the second force increasing up to a second predefined value, the second predefined value being lower than the first predefined value.

Method of bonding a member to a support by addition of material, and device for arranging two elements, one on the other

In this method, the conductive powder mass is placed on the support, and then the member is placed on the mass and a compression force is applied, urging the member against the mass and the support before heating the mass. The magnitude is increased from an initial value to a first predefined value for agglomerating the mass, which value is less than a plastic deformation threshold of the powder mass. Then, the magnitude is maintained at the first predefined value throughout a predetermined duration for agglomerating the powder mass. Finally, the magnitude is increased from the first value to a second predefined value less than a critical threshold for damaging the member but greater than a minimum threshold for sintering the mass at the predetermined temperature, the second predefined value being greater than the first predefined value.

Method of assembling a member on a support by sintering a mass of conductive powder

The module is of the type comprising an electronic component provided with a conductive face that is electrically connected to a connection member of the component by means of a conductor that is corrugated at least in part so as to define an alternating sequence of oppositely-directed arcs, a first series of arcs being connected to the conductive face of the electronic component. The conductor also includes a second series of arcs opposite to the arcs of the first series and interposed between the arcs of the first series, the second series of arcs being connected to the conductive face of the connection member.
