Patent ID: 6915945

Claim:
A method for contact-connecting an electrical component on a substrate having a conductor structure, which comprises the steps of: introducing a bonding agent between the electrical component and the conductor structure of the substrate, the bonding agent having a melting point being at a temperature at which the substrate is not damaged; and producing a permanent electrically conductive connection by the steps of: melting the bonding agent by heating the bonding agent to the melting point; bringing the bonding agent to solidification; increasing a joining temperature above a glass transition temperature of the substrate without causing the bonding agent to remelt; and exerting a pressure on the electrical component resulting in the substrate experiencing a plastic deformation and the electrical component being pressed together with the conductor structure into the substrate in a positively locking manner, and the bonding agent being brought to solidification to form a rigid electric contact before the plastic deformation of the substrate takes place.
