Abstract
A method of soldering includes providing a substrate having a first metal joining surface, providing a semiconductor die having a second metal joining surface, providing a solder preform having a first interface surface and a second interface surface, arranging the solder preform between the substrate and the semiconductor die such that the first interface surface faces the first metal joining surface and such that the second interface surface faces the second metal joining surface, and performing a mechanical pressure-free diffusion soldering process that forms a soldered joint between the substrate and the semiconductor die by melting the solder preform and forming intermetallic phases in the solder. One or both of the first interface surface and the second interface surface has a varying surface profile that creates voids between the solder preform and one or both of the substrate and the semiconductor die before the melting of the solder preform.
