A method for producing a component bonded to a solder preform, comprising the following steps:n (1) providing a component having at least one contact surface, and a free solder preform, (2) producing an assembly of the component and the solder preform, which is not yet bonded to said component, by bringing a contact surface, or the sole contact surface, of the component into contact with a contact surface of the free solder preform, and (3) forming the component bonded to the solder preform by hot pressing the assembly produced in step (2) at a temperature that is 10 to 40% lower than the melting temperature of the soldering metal of the solder preform, expressed in ° C., and with a combination of pressing force and pressing duration that will effect a reduction of 10% in the original thickness of the originally free solder preform. |
