Abstract

Generally, the subject matter disclosed herein relates to methods for forming modern sophisticated semiconductor devices, and more specifically, methods wherein substantially lead-free solder bumps may be formed above a contact layer of a semiconductor chip. One illustrative method disclosed herein includes forming a solder bump above a metallization layer of a semiconductor device, removing an oxide film from a surface of the solder bump, and, after removing the oxide film, performing a solder bump reflow process in a reducing ambient to reflow the solder bump.
