Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a method of connecting two components by ultrasonic welding for producing a power semiconductor module, said method comprising the steps of: a) Aligning the components to be welded to form a welding interface; b) Aligning a welding tool to the aligned components; c) Removably arranging a trapping material at least partly encompassing the welding interface, whereby the trapping material is a foam; and d) Connecting the components by activating the welding tool. The method like described above provides an easy and cost-saving measure in order to prevent particle contamination when performing a welding process such as particularly an ultrasonic welding process sue to scattered particles.
