A production of voids between substrates is prevented when the substrates are bonded together, and the substrates are bonded together at a high positional precision while suppressing a strain. A method for bonding a first substrate and a second substrate includes a step of performing hydrophilization treatment to cause water or an OH containing substance to adhere to bonding surface of the first substrate and the bonding surface of the second substrate, a step of disposing the first substrate and the second substrate with the respective bonding surfaces facing each other, and bowing the first substrate in such a way that a central portion of the bonding surface protrudes toward the second substrate side relative to an outer circumferential portion of the bonding surface, a step of abutting the bonding surface of the first substrate with the bonding surface of the second substrate at the respective central portions, and a step of abutting the bonding surface of the first substrate with the bonding surface of the second substrate across the entirety of the bonding surfaces, decreasing a distance between the outer circumferential portion of the first substrate and an outer circumferential portion of the second substrate with the respective central portions abutting each other at a pressure that maintains a non-bonded condition.

Methods and process flows for diffusion bonding and forming metallic sheets are disclosed herein. The methods include stacking a first metallic sheet and a second metallic sheet to define a sheet stack. The methods further include creating a pneumatic seal between the first metallic sheet and the second metallic sheet to define a sealed sheet stack that defines a pneumatically isolated region. The methods also include increasing a surface area of the sealed sheet stack to define an expanded sheet stack. The methods further include compressing at least a portion of the expanded sheet stack to form a diffusion bond between a corresponding portion of the first metallic sheet and an opposed portion of the second metallic sheet thereby defining a diffusion bonded sheet stack.

A bonding head for performing a thermal compression process including a base body. A bonding heater is disposed on the base body that generates a melting heat. A bonding tool is disposed on the bonding heater that compresses a bonding object against a bonding base while transferring the melting heat to the bonding object to thereby bond the bonding object to the bonding base by the thermal compression process. A heat controller is disposed at the bonding tool, and a thermal conductivity of the heat controller is less than a thermal conductivity of the bonding tool.

A power module substrate includes a circuit layer, an aluminum layer arranged on a surface of an insulation layer, and a copper layer laminated on one side of the aluminum layer. The aluminum layer and the copper layer are bonded together by solid phase diffusion bonding.
