A method includes applying a first flux onto an electrode provided on a substrate and placing a solder material on the electrode, heating the substrate to form a solder bump on the electrode, deforming the solder bump to provide a flat surface or a depressed portion on the solder bump, applying a second flux to the solder bump; placing a core material on the solder bump, the core material including a core portion and a solder layer that covers a surface of the core portion, and heating the substrate to join the core material to the electrode by the solder bump and the solder layer.

This disclosure teaches methods for making high-temperature superconducting striated tape combinations and the product high-temperature superconducting striated tape combinations. This disclosure describes an efficient and scalable method for aligning and bonding two superimposed high-temperature superconducting (HTS) filamentary tapes to form a single integrated tape structure. This invention aligns a bottom and top HTS tape with a thin intervening insulator layer with microscopic precision, and electrically connects the two sets of tape filaments with each other. The insulating layer also reinforces adhesion of the top and bottom tapes, mitigating mechanical stress at the electrical connections. The ability of this method to precisely align separate tapes to form a single tape structure makes it compatible with a reel-to-reel production process.

An object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of suppressing displacement of an electronic component and a solder ball without using a jig. A semiconductor device includes an insulating substrate, an electronic component, and solder. A metal pattern and a semiconductor element are disposed on the insulating substrate. The metal pattern has a first recess and a second recess that are provided side by side. A part of the electronic component is disposed in the first recess. The solder connects the metal pattern disposed on the insulating substrate and the electronic component.

A BGA structure having larger solder balls in high stress regions of the array is disclosed. The larger solder balls have higher solder joint reliability (SJR) and as such may be designated critical to function (CTF), whereby the larger solder balls in high stress regions carry input/output signals between a circuit board and a package mounted thereon. The larger solder balls are accommodated by recessing each ball in the package substrate, the circuit board, or both the package substrate and the circuit board. Additionally, a ball attach method for mounting a plurality of solder balls having different average diameters is disclosed.

A Magnetic-field melting preform solder that melts by action of an AC magnetic field, wherein the preform solder includes a laminated structure made up of two or more layers, at least two layers constituting the laminated structure is made up of solder material, the at least two layers do not contain ferromagnetic material, each of the at least two layers includes a surface facing with each other, and the surfaces facing with each other are in contact with each other. A bonding method using the preform solder includes a providing the preform solder between an electrode on a substrate and an electrode of an electronic component, and bonding together the electrode on the substrate and the electrode of the electronic component by generating an AC magnetic field around the substrate and thereby melting the preform solder.

A method for circuit fabrication includes defining a solder bump, including a specified solder material and having a specified bump volume, to be formed at a target location on an acceptor substrate. A transparent donor substrate, having a donor film including the specified solder material, is positioned such that the donor film is in proximity to the target location on the acceptor substrate. A sequence of pulses of laser radiation is directed to pass through the first surface of the donor substrate and impinge on the donor film so as to induce ejection from the donor film onto the target location on the acceptor substrate of a number of molten droplets of the solder material such that the droplets deposited at the target location cumulatively reach the specified bump volume. The target location is heated so the deposited droplets melt and reflow to form the solder bump.

A printed circuit board, including: a contact point for contacting; a contact spring for an electrical contact in a vehicle; in which the contact point has a support element of tin that is reflow soldered to the printed circuit board. Also described are a related module and method.
