Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013029656A1] The present invention relates to a method for bonding a first solid substrate (1) to a second solid substrate (2), which contains a first material, comprising the following steps, in particular with the following sequence: - forming or applying a functional layer (5) containing a second material onto the second solid substrate (2), - making contact between the first solid substrate (1) and the second solid substrate (2) at the functional layer (5), - pressing together the solid substrates (1, 2) to form a permanent bond between the first and the second solid substrates (1, 2), at least partly reinforced by solid-state diffusion and/or phase transformation of the first material with the second material, wherein an increase in volume is brought about at the functional layer (5). During bonding, the solubility limit of the first material for the second material is not exceeded, or is only slightly exceeded, such that precipitation of intermetallic phases is avoided to the greatest possible extent and, by contrast, the solid solution is formed. The first material can be copper and the second material can be tin.
