Solderable structures, and related methods for making them, can provide thermal conductivity and/or electrical isolation for electronic devices soldered to the structures. Each of the structures includes a solderable material bonded to a heat sink by a thermally-activated bonding material which provides thermal conductivity between the solderable material and the heat sink and which can be configured as a three-layer bonding film to also provide electrical isolation. The structures can be produced in a highly-automated, rapid way without the need for standard mounting hardware and mechanical preparation of the heat sinks. |
