A method of fabricating a semiconductor device is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes placing a first semiconductor chip on a carrier with the first main surface of the first semiconductor chip facing the carrier. A first layer of soft solder material is provided between the first main surface and the carrier. Heat is applied during placing so that a temperature at the first layer of soft solder material is equal to or higher than a melting temperature of the first layer of soft solder material. A second layer of soft solder material is provided between the first contact area and the second main surface. Heat is applied during placing so that a temperature at the second layer of soft solder material is equal to or higher than a melting temperature of the second layer of soft solder material. The first and second layers of soft solder material are cooled to solidify the soft solder materials.

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor die, arranging an electrical connector over the semiconductor die, the electrical connector including a conductive core, an absorbing feature arranged on a first side of the conductive core, and a solder layer arranged on a second side of the conductive core, opposite the first side and facing the semiconductor die, and soldering the electrical connector onto the semiconductor die by heating the solder layer with a laser, wherein the laser irradiates the absorbing feature and absorbed energy is transferred from the absorbing feature through the conductive core to the solder layer.

A method of making a semiconductor including soldering a conductor to an aluminum metallization is disclosed. In one example, the method includes substituting an aluminum oxide layer on the aluminum metallization by a substitute metal oxide layer or a substitute metal alloy oxide layer. Then, substitute metal oxides in the substitute metal oxide layer or the substitute metal alloy oxide layer are at least partly reduced. The conductor is soldered to the aluminum metallization using a solder material.

An electrical connection member (1, 301, 401, 501, 601) includes a clad material (10, 110, 610) including at least both a first Cu layer (12) made of a Cu material and a low thermal expansion layer (11) made of an Fe material or Ni material having an average thermal expansion coefficient from room temperature to 300° C. smaller than that of the first Cu layer, the first Cu layer and the low thermal expansion layer being bonded to each other.
