ABSTRACT:
A technique of forming a metallurgical bond between pads on two surfaces is provided. A metal coating placed on each surface includes a first metal base layer and a second metal surface layer. The first and second metals include a low melting point constituent. A first ratio of the two metals forms a liquid phase with a second ratio of the two metals forming a solid phase. The volume of the base layer metal exceeds the volume necessary to form the solid phase between the base metal and the surface metal. Conductive metal particles are provided having a core metal and a coating metal dispersed in an uncured polymer material, at a volume fraction above the percolation threshold. The core metal and the coating metal together include a low melting point constituent. At a first ratio the components form a liquid phase and at a second ratio the two components form a solid phase. The polymer containing particles is placed between the two metal surfaces with the particles interfacing with each other and the surface layer of metal. The structure is heated to a temperature higher than the low melting liquid constituent to form a liquid phase which extends to include the surface of the pads and the surface of the particles, and thereafter form a solid phase by diffusion of the core material into the surface material and the base metal into the coating material.
