Abstract
Solder reflow on an electrical interconnect substrate between a plurality of electrical contacts. The method includes coating the contacts with tin/lead solder, depositing a wetting metal between the contacts, and heating the substrate to at least the melting point of the solder so that the solder melts, reflows across the wetting metal and connects or links the contacts. The entire surface of a customizable copper/polyimide substrate can be personalized by solder links and TAB leads from surface-mounted integrated circuits can simultaneously be soldered to the substrate.
