Abstract:
1. An apparatus for connecting a component with a substrate by means of diffusion soldering in a closed evacuated chamber, wherein the component and the substrate to be connected are displaceable separate from one another in the chamber, and the chamber comprises a first carrier system operable to introduce the component into the chamber and a second carrier system operable to introduce the substrate into the chamber, the first and second carrier systems being separated from one another and running parallel to one another along a longitudinal direction of the chamber, the chamber further comprising a combined transfer and pressing unit being displaceable between a current position of the component and a current position of the substrate, for placing and pressing the component on the substrate, and the combined transfer and pressing unit comprises a rotatable element, which, in response to the placing and pressing of the component on the substrate, assumes an angle between the normal of a lower side of the component to be connected and a pressing direction of the component, the angle corresponding to an angle between the normal of a surface area of the substrate to be connected and the pressing direction of the component, wherein the combined transfer and pressing unit is operable to grip the component arranged on the second carrier system and place the component on the substrate arranged on the first carrier system.
