Abstract

A process for manufacturing electronic circuits, according to which soldering can be carried out without using flux by applying a metal surface treatment procedure which allows oxide film, organic matters, carbon or the like on the surface of metal to be easily removed without using a complex process nor unfavorably affecting electronic devices or circuit substrates. A process of connecting an electronic device and a circuit substrate by means of solder comprises the steps of irradiating the solder with a laser beam to clean the solder, aligning and mounting the electronic device on the circuit substrate, and hot-melting said solder in a low-oxygen content atmosphere to bond the electronic device and the circuit substrate.
