Laser welding, gap welding, microflex ball bonding, and soldering are evaluated. Corresponding processes were established and evaluated in respect to their mechanical strength. Best results were obtained by soldering. If soldering cannot be used because of regulatory reasons, parallel gap welding and microflex are recommended. Laser welding provides weaker interconnects with only moderate reproducibility.
