Abstract
A method of soldering a bumped work without using flux is provided by the steps of vacuum-sucking the bumped work on a head, pressing a bump against a pad of another work, causing a projection of the bump to partially break an oxide film on the solder portion, to pierce it, and to be placed thereon, and cooling and solidifying the molten solder portion. The surface of the solder portion is coated by the oxide film as a hard shell, so that, even if the bump is firmly pressed against the solder portion, the solder of the solder portion does not flow sidewise, and a solder bridge is not produced.
