The bonding method allows at least one printed circuit substrate (10) to be bonded to a carrier (40) via an intermediate material layer (30), which is previously impregnated with a resin (prepreg), upon application of pressure via a pressure stamp. The applied pressure is at least partially reduced in the vicinity of an opening (11) in the printed circuit substrate. The carrier may have a recess (42) in its surface underlying the opening in the printed circuit substrate and the pressure stamp may have a cut-out section aligned with the opening.
