A power electronics method and assembly produced by the method. The assembly has a substrate, having a power semiconductor element, and an adhesion layer disposed therebetween, wherein the substrate has a first surface that faces a power semiconductor element, a power semiconductor element has a third surface that faces the substrate, the adhesion layer has a second surface which, preferably across the full area, contacts the third surface and has a first consistent surface contour having a first roughness, and wherein a fourth surface of the power semiconductor element that is opposite the third surface has a second surface contour having a second roughness, said second surface contour following the first surface contour.
