Abstract: First and second ball forming plates are prepared. The cavities of the first plate and the cavities of the second plate 20 are filled with solder paste, respectively. The first plate and the second plate are placed in a facing relationship to each other and heated to form metal balls each of which corresponds to the total metal components of the solder paste in one cavity of the first plate and one cavity in the second plate. The metal balls are formed in the cavities of the lower plate 10. The metal balls are transferred from the cavities of the first plate to a device on which bumps are to be formed.

Abstract: A method for fabricating solder bumps onto a semiconductor chip. A solder ball forming member having a flat surface and a plurality of cavities arranged on the flat surface in a predetermined pattern is prepared. The cavities are then filled with a solder paste, and the solder ball forming member is heated to a temperature higher than the melting point of the solder so that the molten solder powder in the solder paste form solder balls due to surface tension. The semiconductor chip is then moved toward the solder ball forming member to transfer the heated solder balls from the solder ball forming member to the semiconductor chip.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device using a solder ball forming plate having cavities. The plate is made from a silicon plate having a flat surface in a <110> crystallographic plane, and an orientation flat in a <1-11> crystallographic plane. The cavities are formed on the flat surface of the plate by etching, using a mask having openings in the shape of rhombus arranged such that one side of the rhombus is generally parallel to the <1-11> crystallographic plane. As a result, the cavities having wedge-shaped bottom are formed. The cavities are then filled with a solder paste and are heated to form solder balls in the cavities while the plate in an inclined position. The solder balls are then transferred from the plate to a semiconductor chip.
