Protruding solder structures are created for electrical attachment of semiconductor devices. A rigid mold having one or more mold openings is attached to and used in combination with a decal structure that has one or more decal holes. The decal structure is disposed on the rigid mold so that the decal openings are aligned over the mold openings. Each of the decal hole and mold opening in contact form a single combined volume. The single combined volumes are filled with solder to form protruding solder structures. Various structures and methods of making and using the structures are disclosed.

In conventional fluid discharge devices, a discharge head used should be increased in size according to increase in size of a workpiece such as silicon wafer. However, if the discharge head increases in length, a deformation amount of a mask used for discharging the fluid on the workpiece increases, thereby the discharging amount varies. Discharging the fluid in a reciprocating manner is performed using a fluid discharging device including a head unit having a width shorter than a length of the workpiece. A suction port having opening portions each having a slit shape are disposed on the both sides of the discharge nozzle in a vicinity of the discharge nozzle.

The present application provides a method for providing solder paste, for providing solder paste accommodated in a solder paste tub into a solder paste printer, the method comprising: inserting a solder paste nozzle into a housing of the solder paste tub through an opening of the solder paste tub, wherein solder paste is accommodated in the housing of the solder paste tub; bearing the solder paste tub, with the opening facing downward, on a working platform by means of the solder paste nozzle; holding the solder paste tub by mating a holder with an engagement means on an outer wall of the housing of the solder paste tub, the holder being capable of moving up and down with the housing of the solder paste tub; and pressing the housing of the solder paste tub, such that the housing of the solder paste tub moves relative to the solder paste nozzle, at the same time causing the holder to move as the housing of the solder paste tub moves, so as to extrude solder paste accommodated in the housing of the solder paste tub from the solder paste nozzle.
