  • Publication number: 20140158751
    Abstract: A wiring board on which an electronic component is to be mounted includes a resist having an opening exposing a joint face which is part of the surface of a wiring layer and to which a terminal of the electronic component is to be joined. In the placing step, the electronic component is placed on the wiring board such that the terminal covers the opening entirely and contacts the solder paste applied onto the joint face. Next, the solder paste applied onto the joint face is heated to melt solder and soften thermosetting resin. This allows the solder to gather in a first space within the opening closed with the wiring layer and the electronic component, while allowing the thermosetting resin to gather in a second space formed between a top side of the resist and a lateral side of the electronic component.

  • Publication number: 20120309133
    Abstract: A method of mounting an electronic component allows bumps to land onto electrodes via thermosetting flux formed of first thermosetting resin containing a first active ingredient, and brings a resin reinforcing member formed of second thermosetting resin containing a second active ingredient into contact with the electronic component at reinforcement sections, and then heats the substrate to form solder junction sections that bond the bumps to the electrodes. At the same time, the method forms resin reinforcement sections that reinforce the solder junction sections from the surroundings. A mixing ratio of the second active ingredient in the resin reinforcing member is set greater than a mixing ratio of the first active ingredient in the thermosetting flux.
