Abstract

Abstract Method for the metallic joining of parts which are formed by semiconductor components with metallization on at least one side or by metallic components or metallic substrates. A composite multilayer material is arranged between the parts to be joined together. Subsequently, the components are joined together at least under the action of defined heat such that only the surface layers directly facing the parts of the composite material are softened.
