Method and paste for contacting metal surfaces

摘要

The method for producing an electrically conductive or heat-conductive component (3a) for producing a metallic contact between two elements e.g. cooling bodies or solar cells (8), comprises forming an elemental silver from a silver compound between contact areas connecting one above the other. The silver compound is an organic silver compound or silver carbonate. The contact area comprises a base metal in the surface. The method is carried out at 400[deg] C. A paste containing the silver compound is applied on the contact area. Independent claims are included for: (1) a method for producing a fully flat metallic contact between a metallic connecting surface of an electronic component and a metallic connecting surface of a further component; and (2) a contacting paste.
