An embodiment related to a device. The device includes a first die with first and second die surfaces. The second die surface is bonded to a first die attach pad (DAP) disposed on a first substrate surface of a package substrate and the first die surface includes a first die contact pad. The device also includes a first clip bond including a first clip bond horizontal planar portion attached to the first die contact pad on the first die surface, and a first clip bond vertical portion disposed on an edge of the first clip bond horizontal planar portion. The first clip bond vertical portion is attached to a first substrate bond pad on the first substrate surface. The device further includes a first conductive clip-die bonding layer with spacers on the first die contact pad of the first die. The first conductive clip-die bonding layer bonds the first clip bond horizontal planar portion to the first die contact pad, and the spacers maintain a uniform Bond Line Thickness (BLT) of the first conductive clip-die bonding layer.

A composite assembly of three stacked joining partners, and a corresponding method. The three stacked joining partners are materially bonded to one another by an upper solder layer and a lower solder layer. An upper joining partner and a lower joining partner are fixed in their height and have a specified distance from one another. The upper solder layer is fashioned from a first solder agent, having a first melt temperature, between the upper joining partner and a middle joining partner. The second solder layer is fashioned from a second solder agent, having a higher, second melt temperature, between the middle joining partner and the lower joining partner. The upper joining partner has an upwardly open solder compensating opening filled with the first solder agent, from which, to fill the gap between the upper joining partner and the middle joining partner, the first solder agent subsequently flows into the gap.
