Abstract
The disclosure relates to bonding plural elements by sintering a bonding layer sandwiched between the elements. An exemplary embodiment includes a support frame; a clamping device; a reception region for receiving a stack including the plural elements, in-between which the bonding layer is arranged, wherein the stack is clamped when loaded into the reception region to permanently apply a sintering pressure. An exemplary method is also disclosed for bonding plural of elements using a sintering process. The method includes clamping the stack into a reception region of a fixture device, and applying heat to the stack and the bonding layer to perform a sintering process of the bonding layer.
