Abstract

A power component such as a power transistor is mounted on an insulating substrate of, e.g., beryllia by using a thick film deposition technique. A first layer (2) is deposited and a second layer (3) is deposited over the first layer to produce a regular series of troughs and lands, in the preferred embodiment troughs and ridges, whereby voiding in the solder bond is minimized if not eliminated to thus maintain a good thermal conductivity between the component and the substrate.
