An arrangement is disclosed. In one example, the arrangement of a conductor and an aluminum layer soldered together comprises a substrate and the aluminum layer disposed over the substrate. The aluminum forms a first bond metal. An intermetallic compound layer is disposed over the aluminum layer. A solder layer is disposed over the intermetallic compound layer, wherein the solder comprises a low melting majority component. The conductor is disposed over the solder layer, wherein the conductor has a soldering surface which comprises a second bond metal. The intermetallic compound comprises aluminum and the second bond metal and is predominantly free of the low melting majority component.
