Abstract
A method for soldering a lead to a pad having a solder plate formed thereon is described. In one embodiment of the method, a tape is disposed between the lead and a laser source, and the method includes the steps of aligning the lead with the solder plated pad, transmitting a beam from the laser source through the tape and to a location where a solder joint is to be formed, and the beam heating the solder plate thereby causing reflow of the solder plate to form a solder joint.
