Method for interconnecting components of an electronic system by sintering

Abstract

Method for interconnecting components of an electronic system comprising the steps of: a) depositing a sintering solution onto a first component in order to form an interconnection layer, the sintering solution comprising a solvent, metal nanoparticles dispersed in the solvent, and a stabilizing agent adsorbed onto the metal nanoparticles, more than 95.0%, preferably more than 99.0% of the mass of the metal nanoparticles comprising a metal selected from silver, gold, copper and alloys thereof and having a polyhedral shape with an aspect ratio of more than 0.8, b) eliminating, at least partially, the solvent from the interconnection layer such as to form at least one ordered agglomerate in which the metal nanoparticles are regularly disposed in three axes, the stabilizing agent binding them together and maintaining at least a portion of the metal nanoparticles at a distance from each other, c) debinding and sintering the interconnection layer, and d) depositing a second component in contact with the interconnection layer before or during debinding or sintering.
