  • METHOD OF DISPENSING SMALL AMOUNTS OF LIQUID MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20070164089
    Abstract: A method of dispensing a solder paste comprising at least a flux carrier and solder onto a substrate, wherein the flux carrier and solder each have a melting temperature with the melting temperature of the solder being higher than the flux carrier, includes providing a reservoir of the solder paste and supplying the solder paste to a dispenser having an outlet through which the solder paste is dispensed. The solder paste is heated to a temperature of at least the melting temperature of the solder so that the flux carrier and solder are in a molten state. An amount of the solder paste is dispensed through the outlet and onto the substrate. The flux carrier and solder in the reservoir are maintained at a temperature below the melting temperature of the flux carrier so that neither of the flux carrier and solder is in a molten state in the reservoir.
