Abstract

A method for forming a metallic contact and manufacturing a product having an electronic component 101 and a printed circuit board 100 (PCB) includes dispensing a slurry solder paste mixture 104 including a metallic powder 105 and an acidic fluid 106, placing electronic component 101 over solder paste dispensed over a surface area of PCB 100, and applying pressure on at least a section of electronic component 101 such that at least a portion of slurry solder paste mixture 104 dispensed on the surface area and in contact with the section of electronic component 101 consolidates into at least one of an inter-metallic compound of hardened solder and a hardened alloy of solder forming the metallic contact between electronic component 101 and said PCB 100.
