| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for connecting components, in which an assembly of at least two components, which each have a metal contact surface, and of metal sintering element, which is arranged between the components and is in the form of a metal solid having metal oxide surfaces, is provided and the assembly is pressure sintered, wherein metal oxide surfaces of the metal sintering agent each form a common contact surface with the metal contact surfaces of the components, and wherein (I) the pressure sintering is carried out in an atmosphere containing at least one oxidizable compound and/or (II) the metal oxide surfaces are provided with at least one oxidizable organic compound before the formation of the respective common contact surfaces. |
