Abstract

A method and a resulting device for mounting a semiconductor to a submount by depositing a first layer of a first metal solder having a selected first melting point and corresponding thickness onto a surface of the semiconductor. Depositing a second layer of a second metal solder having a selected second melting point higher than the first melting point and a corresponding selected thickness onto a surface of the submount. Disposing the semiconductor surface and submount surface in confronting intimate contact and heating the submount and semiconductor to a temperature greater than the first temperature and lower that the second temperature for initiating and promoting liquid interdiffusion between the first and second solders.
