Soldering of semiconductor chip to substrate

The present invention relates to a method of soldering a semiconductor chip to a substrate, such as to a capsule in an RF-power transistor, for instance. The semiconductor chip is provided with an adhesion layer consisting of a first material composition. A solderable layer consisting of a second material composition is disposed on this adhesion layer. An antioxidation layer consisting of a third material composition is disposed on said solderable layer. The antioxidation layer is coated with a layer of gold-tin solder. The chip is placed on a solderable capsule surface, via said gold-tin solder. The capsule and chip are exposed to an inert environment to which a reducing gas is delivered and the capsule and chip are subjected to a pressure substantially beneath atmospheric pressure whilst the gold-tin solder is heated to a temperature above its melting point. The gas pressure is increased whilst the gold-tin solder is molten and the temperature is lowered when a predetermined gas pressure is exceeded, so that the gold-tin solder will solidify.
