Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to the combination of a support and a semiconductor body and to a method of manufacturing same, in which a deformable metal layer is disposed between the semiconductor body and the support. The semiconductor body is connected to the support by pressing the semiconductor body and the support against each other under pressure after heating the metal layer. The semiconductor body is then provided at its surface facing the support with at least one projecting part, which is embedded in the metal layer.
