Abstract
A method of manufacturing a flip-chip semiconductor device by attaching a semiconductor die to a substrate using solder comprises the steps of applying a no-clean flux to the semiconductor die and the substrate; heating the solder and the flux in a furnace to bond the semiconductor die to the substrate; and underfilling between the semiconductor die and the substrate. While the solder and flux is being heated, a reducing atmosphere in the furnace is being measured to determine the moisture content. When the moisture content exceeds a threshold amount, a signal will be provided. A reflow furnace for practicing the method is also disclosed.
