Methods and apparatuses for controlled processing of high temperature bonding systems via devices to control heating and cooling systems of a high temperature heating bonding includes use of a sinter fixture device including a plate surface, that is shaped to contact and conform to a contacting surface of a TLPS substrate assembly, and a plurality of channels below the plate surface within a base body of the sinter fixture device shaped to receive heating and cooling elements. A first set of the one or more channels includes a plurality of cross-channels, a cooling medium inlet, and a cooling medium outlet, which cross-channels, cooling medium inlet, and cooling medium outlet are in fluid communication with one another. A second set of the one or more channels includes a plurality of heating element passageways.

An anisotropic conductive film contains conductive particles and spacers. The spacers are arranged at a central part of the film in a width direction. The central part of the film in the width direction represents 20 to 80% of the overall width of the film. The height of the spacers in the thickness direction of the anisotropic conductive film is larger than 5 m and less than 75 m. Such an anisotropic conductive film has a layered structure having a first insulating adhesion layer and a second insulating adhesion layer, wherein the conductive particles are dispersed in the first insulating adhesion layer, and the spacers are regularly arranged on a surface of the first insulating adhesion layer on a side of the second insulating adhesion layer.

A carrier and the clip are used to produce a packaging having a lead frame by connection to the chip using sintering of the solidified sintering pastes in one work step. The carrier may be a lead frame and a clip for at least one semiconductor element has at least one functional surface for connecting to the semiconductor element and a plurality of connections. The material of the earlier or of the clip includes a metal and a layer made of a solidified sintering paste. The sintering paste may contain silver and/or a silver compound. The sintering paste is arranged on the functional surface. The carrier or clip and the layer made of sintering paste form an intermediate product that can be connected to the semiconductor element.
