Abstract

An apparatus comprises a sputter cleaning device, an alignment device operable in atmospheric condition and a heating and soldering device in the form of a belt furnace operable in non-oxidizing or reducing environment. Instead of the sputter cleaning device, a mechanical polishing or cutting device can be used to clean a surface of solder or a member to be bonded or a solder ball plated with gold may be used. An alignment between two members to be bonded is provided by an alignment mark means which comprises a protrusion on a surface of one member and a complimentary recess formed at a center portion of a protrusion means formed on a corresponding surface of the other member.
