Abstract

A method for soldering an electronic component is provided. A first solder land containing copper and a second solder land are formed on a surface of a circuit board. A first solder section composed of a Sn—Ag—Cu solder material is formed on each of the first and the second solder lands, and a terminal of an electronic component chip is mounted on the first solder land. The first solder land and the terminal are fusion-bonded. A second solder section composed of a Sn—Zn solder material is formed on the first solder section disposed on the second solder land. A lead terminal of another electronic component is inserted into a terminal hole formed near the second solder land; and the second solder section and the lead terminal are heated at a temperature lower than the previous temperature to connect the lead terminal to the second solder section by fusion bonding.

Claims (24)

1. A method for soldering an electronic component, the method comprising:

(a) forming a first solder land, which is a patterned conductor, containing copper and a second solder land, the first solder land and the second solder land being formed on the same surface of a circuit board;

(b) forming a first solder section on each of the first solder land and the second solder land, the first solder section comprising a Sn—Ag—Cu solder material;

(c) mounting a terminal of an electronic component chip on the first solder land;

(d) heating the first solder land and the terminal to connect each other by fusion bonding;

(e) forming a second solder section on the first solder section disposed on the second solder land, the second solder section comprising a Sn—Zn solder material;

(f) inserting a lead terminal of another electronic component into a terminal hole formed near the second solder land; and

(g) heating the second solder section and the lead terminal at a temperature lower than a temperature in step (d) so as to connect the lead terminal to the second solder section by fusion bonding.

2. A method for soldering an electronic component, the method comprising:

(a) forming a first solder land, which is a patterned conductor, containing copper and a second solder land, the first solder land and the second solder land being formed on the same surface of a circuit board;

(b) forming a first solder section on each of the first solder land and the second solder land, the first solder section comprising Sn—Ag—Cu solder material containing at least one additive selected from the group consisting of antimony, nickel, phosphorus, germanium, and gallium;

(c) mounting a terminal of an electronic component chip on the first solder land;

(d) heating the first solder land and the terminal to connect each other by fusion bonding;

(e) forming a second solder section on the first solder section disposed on the second solder land, the second solder section comprising a Sn—Zn solder material;

(f) inserting a lead terminal of another electronic component into a terminal hole formed near the second solder land; and

(g) heating the second solder section and the lead terminal at a temperature lower than a temperature in step (d) so as to connect the lead terminal to the second solder section by fusion bonding.

3. A method for soldering an electronic component, the method comprising:

(a) forming a first solder land, which is a patterned conductor, containing copper and a second solder land, the first solder land and the second solder land being formed on the same surface of a circuit board;

(b) forming a first solder section on each of the first solder land and the second solder land, the first solder section comprising Sn—Ag solder material containing at least one additive selected from the group consisting of antimony, nickel, phosphorus, germanium, gallium, aluminum, cobalt, chromium, iron, manganese, palladium, and titanium;

(c) mounting a terminal of an electronic component chip on the first solder land;

(d) heating the first solder land and the terminal to connect each other by fusion bonding;

(e) forming a second solder section on the first solder section disposed on the second solder land, the second solder section comprising a Sn—Zn solder material;

(f) inserting a lead terminal of another electronic component into a terminal hole formed near the second solder land; and

(g) heating the second solder section and the lead terminal at a temperature lower than a temperature in step (d) so as to connect the lead terminal to the second solder section by fusion bonding.
