A removal apparatus for a semiconductor chip may include a stage configured to support a board on which the semiconductor chip is mounted by bumps, a laser configured to irradiate a laser beam into the board over an area larger than the semiconductor chip, and a picker configured to cause the laser beam to penetrate the semiconductor chip locally and to separate the semiconductor chip from the board. A method of removing a semiconductor chip from a board may include loading the board, on which the semiconductor chip is mounted by bumps, on a stage; irradiating a laser beam into the semiconductor chip to melt the bumps and to separate the semiconductor chip from the board; continuously irradiating the laser beam into the board on which solder pillars, that are residues of the bumps, remain to melt the solder pillars; and removing the solder pillars.

A method for producing a layer including a connecting medium on an assembly partner is provided. The method includes providing a carrier on which the connecting medium is applied. The connecting medium contains a metal in the form of a multiplicity of metal particles. The assembly partner is placed on the connecting medium located on the carrier and pressed onto the connecting medium located on the carrier, so that a layer of the connecting medium adheres to the assembly partner. The assembly partner together with the layer adhering thereto is removed from the carrier. By means of a gas flow, edges of the layer, at which the latter extends laterally beyond the assembly partner, are removed so that a layer residue of the layer remains adhering to the assembly partner.

A processor receives solder paste information, where the solder paste information describes a solder paste used in assembly of a printed circuit board. A processor determines a minimum magnetic force required for removing the solder paste from the printed circuit board based on the solder paste information. A processor receives electromagnet information, where the electromagnet information describes an electromagnet used in cleaning of a misprint of the solder paste on the printed circuit board. A processor determines a minimum amount of power to provide the electromagnet to induce the minimum magnetic force in the electromagnet, where the determination of the amount of power is based on the electromagnet information and the minimum magnetic force. A processor adjusts an amount of power applied to the electromagnet to at least the determined minimum amount of power to clean the misprint of the solder paste from the printed circuit board.
