Abstract
Along with miniaturization of a solder connection portion in a bump repair or a local reflow, a void generated at the time of soldering remains in a solder to remarkably reduce connection strength, and there occurs a non-connection phenomenon in which the solder connection portion and a solder paste are melted, but are not fused with each other. During melting of a solder, a target component is clamped, ultrasonic oscillation is directly applied only to the target component. Further, start of solidification of the solder connection portion is detected by change of an electric impedance of a transducer while applying the ultrasonic oscillation, and the clamp is released before a substrate is warped.
