Patent ID: 8735764

Claim:
A thermode device for connecting or electrically connecting a plurality of first semiconductor components to at least one support element or to a plurality of second semiconductor components by heating an adhesive under the application of pressure, the thermode device comprising: a basic body which comprises on its underside a plurality of heating plates which are oriented vertically and are arranged next to one another, each heating plate including at least one heater for generating heat and heating the heating plate; and a heating element which is extendable out of the basic body and which, under the application of pressure, acts on at least one of the first semiconductor components, wherein each heating plate has on its end and underside a plurality of the extendable heating elements, to the underside of each of which there is assigned a first semiconductor component, wherein each heating element is a separate element from the at least one heater, and wherein the plurality of heating elements extending from each heating plate are heated by the heating plate that has been heated by the heater.
