The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of double-sided metallized ceramic substrates according to the direct-bonding process. The method enables a ceramic substrate to be bonded to a metal plate or foil on the upper side and the underside in only one process sequence. The composite to be bonded is located on a specially designed carrier structured on the upper side with a plurality of contact points. After the bonding process the composite of metal plates and ceramic substrate can be detached from the carrier free of any residue.

Method for the manufacture of double-sided metalized ceramic substrates

A method for manufacturing insulated semiconductor power modules includes: presoldering a plurality of semiconductor sandwiches and a carrier unit including a metal base plate, ceramic insulating discs and connecting tabs with a high-melting solder in a first step; joining the semiconductor sandwiches and the carrier unit together with a low-melting solder in a second step; performing the first and second soldering steps without flux in a gas from the group consisting of hydrogen and forming gas; and preventing a mixture of the high-melting solder and the low-melting solder during the second step.
