Nanoparticles exhibit a decrease in sintering and melting temperature with decreasing particle size in comparison to the corresponding bulk material. After melting or sintering of the nanoparticles, the material behaves like the bulk material. Therefore, high-strength and temperatureresistant joints can be produced at low temperatures, which is of big interest for various joining tasks. Joints (substrate: Cu) were prepared with an Ag nanoparticle-containing paste. The influence of the adjustable process parameters joining pressure, joining temperature, holding time, heating rate, thickness of paste application, surface treatment, pre-drying process, and subsequent heat treatment on the strength behavior of the joints was investigated. It is shown that in particular, the joining pressure exerts an essential influence on the achievable strengths. In addition, temperature, holding time, and thickness of paste application have a significant effect on strength behavior. In contrast, the pre-drying process, heating rate, surface pre-treatment, and subsequent heat treatment possess hardly any influence on joint strength.
