Abstract
The described embodiments relate to electrical interconnect assemblies and methods of forming same. One exemplary method applies a generally flowable protective material to an electrical interconnect region comprising portions of at least two conductors. The method also exposes the protective material to conditions sufficient to render the protective material to a generally non-flowable state which protects the electrical interconnect region from degradation, wherein said exposing also reflows solder positioned proximate the electrical interconnect region to allow the solder to bond with the at least two conductors.
