In this way, a component module is achieved. The contact (40, 50) is preferably a flat part or has a contact surface, the largest planar extent thereof being greater than an extension of the contact (40, 50) perpendicular to said contact surface. The temperature of the galvanic connection is at most 100° C., preferably at most 60° C., advantageously at most 20° C. and ideally at most 5° C. and/or deviates from the operating temperature of the component by at most 50° C., preferably by at most 20° C., in particular by at most 10° C. and ideally by at most 5° C., preferably by at most 2° C. The component (10) can be contacted by means of the contact piece (60, 70) with a further component, a current conductor and/or a substrate (90). Preferably, a component (10) having two contacts (40, 50) on opposite sides of the component (10) is used, wherein at least one open-pored contact piece (60, 70) is galvanically connected to each contact (40, 50).

A manufacturing method includes the step of laminating a sheet assembly onto chips arranged on a processing tape, where the sheet assembly has a multilayer structure including a base and a sinter-bonding sheet and is laminated so that the sinter-bonding sheet faces the chips, and subsequently removing the base B from the sinter-bonding sheet. The chips on the processing tape are picked up each with a portion of the sinter-bonding sheet adhering to the chip, to give sinter-bonding material layer-associated chips. The sinter-bonding material layer-associated chips are temporarily secured through the sinter-bonding material layer to a substrate. The sinter-bonding material layers lying between the temporarily secured chips and the substrate are converted through a heating process into sintered layers, to bond the chips to the substrate. The semiconductor device manufacturing method is suitable for efficiently supplying a sinter-bonding material to semiconductor chips while reducing loses of the sinter-bonding material.
