Abstract
Organic solderability protectant (OSP) is applied to copper bond pads. The copper bond pads include flip chip bond pads and SMD bond pads on a dielectric upper surface and BGA bond pads on a dielectric lower surface. Solder paste is applied to the flip chip bond pads. This solder paste is reflowed in an inert atmosphere to form solder-on-pads (SOPs) on the flip chip bond pads. Flux residue from the solder paste is then removed with water. By reflowing the solder paste in an inert atmosphere and removing the flux residue with water, degradation of the OSP and oxidation of the SMD and BGA bond pads is inhibited.
