A method and structure for joining a semiconductor device and a laminate substrate or two laminate substrates where the joint is formed with lead free solders and lead free compositions. The various lead free solders and lead free compositions are chosen so that there is a sufficient difference in liquidus temperatures such that some components may be joined to, or removed from, the laminate substrate without disturbing other components on the laminate substrate.

A method of determining curing conditions is for determining the curing conditions of a thermosetting resin to seal a conductive part between a substrate and an electronic component. A curing degree curve is created. The curing degree curve indicates, with respect to each of heating temperatures, relationship between heating time and curing degree of the thermosetting resin. On the basis of the created curing degree curve, a void removal time of a void naturally moving upward in the thermosetting resin, at a first heating temperature, is calculated. The first heating temperature is one of the heating temperatures.

A semiconductor structure which includes a first semiconductor substrate having a first plurality of copper connectors; a second semiconductor substrate having a second plurality of copper connectors; and a joining structure joining the first plurality of copper connectors to the second plurality of copper connectors, the joining structure including a copper intermetallic mesh having pores filled with silver.

Embodiments of the invention include a dye and pry process for removing quad flat no-lead (QFN) packages and bottom termination components (BTC) from card assemblies. Aspects of the invention include immersing a semiconductor package assembly in a solution comprising dye and placing the immersed semiconductor package assembly under vacuum pressure. Vacuum conditions ensure that the dye solution is pulled into any cracks in the solder formed between the semiconductor package assembly and the QFN package or BTC. The package assembly is dried and a hole is drilled to expose a bottom surface of the QFN package or BTC. The QFN package or BTC is then removed by applying a force to the exposed bottom surface. The semiconductor package assembly can then be inspected for the dye to locate cracks.
