Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a sintering apparatus comprising a first and a second carbon-comprising thermally conductive substrate arranged at a distance from each other, thereby providing a space for receiving a substrate to be sintered, and provided between a third and a fourth thermally conductive substrate; and heating means for heating the third and/or the fourth thermally conductive substrate at a heating rate of at least 50 °C/s to a temperature between 750 °C and 1400 °C, thereby heating the first and/or the second thermally conductive substrate, respectively, wherein the third and the fourth thermally conductive substrate comprise, independently from one another, one or more metal nitride and/or metal oxide.
