Abstract
In soldering together two members such as electronic circuit devices, after an oxide or contaminated layer has been removed from the surface of a solder material or bonding pad, for example, the members are aligned in an oxidizing atmosphere. Then the solder material is heated in a nonoxidizing atmosphere to melt the solder and bond the members. Cleaning of the solder material or bonding pad is performed by sputter-cleaning, laser cleaning, mechanical polishing, or cutting.
