Abstract
A solder preform (250) has solder particles of one alloy (210) arranged within a matrix of a second solder alloy (200). This arrangement forms a structure having the desired predetermined shape of the solder preform. The solder particles comprise one or more of the following elements: tin, lead, bismuth, indium, copper, antimony, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, gallium, gold, silver. The particles have a predetermined melting temperature. The second solder alloy is compositionally distinct from the solder particles, and has a melting temperature that is lower than the melting temperature of the solder particles. The solder particles may comprise about 88% by weight of the solder preform, and the second solder alloy comprises about 12% by weight of the preform.
