METAL PASTE WITH OXIDATION AGENTS

摘要

The present invention relates to a sintering method which allows joining components in a stable manner, wherein the process temperature is below 200 °C and stable contact points occur which have a low porosity and a high electrical and thermal conductivity. The invention relates to a method for joining components, in which (a) a sandwich arrangement is provided, which comprises at least (a1) a component (1), (a2) a component (2) and (a3) a metal paste situated between component (1) and component (2), and in which (b) the sandwich arrangement is sintered. The invention is characterized in that the metal paste comprises (A) 75-90 % by weight of at least one metal, which is present in the form of particles having a coating, containing at least one organic compound; (B) 0-12 % by weight of at least one metal precursor; (C) 6-20 % by weight of at least one solvent; and (D) 0.1-15 % by weight of at least one auxiliary sintering agent which is selected from the group consisting of (i) organic peroxides, (ii) inorganic peroxides, and (iii) inorganic acids.
