Abstract

Electronic components are bonded to an electronic circuit board with a lead-free solder. The bonded structure is cooled from a temperature close to the liquids temperature of the solder to a temperature close to the solids temperature of the solder at a first cooling rate of about 10 to 20.degree. C./second, followed by cooling the bonded structure to a temperature lower than the solids temperature of the solder at a second cooling rate of about 0.1 to less than 5.degree. C./second.
