Abstract

Disclosed is a method for removing a hybrid or integrated circuit chip soldered to a support structure. An electrical energy source is applied to the hybrid circuit chip for raising the temperature of the circuit chip sufficiently so as to melt the solderable material which interconnects the chip to the support structure. When the solderable material is melted, the circuit chip may then be removed from the support structure.
