Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a method for the force-coupled and vacuum-tight bonding of components of ceramic material together or to metallic components by means of thermocompression while using a soldering material in the form of an AlMgZn alloy provided between the components to be bonded prior to the thermocompression process. The soldering material used consists preferably of an aluminum-zinc-magnesium alloy having 95% by weight of Al, 4% by weight of Zn and 1% by weight of Mg.
