Abstract
By controlling the cooling rate during the oxidation process for forming an oxide layer on solder balls and by selecting an elevated temperature as an initial temperature of the oxidation process, a reliable yet easily removable oxide layer may be obtained. Consequently, yield losses during the flip chip assembly process may be significantly reduced.
