Abstract:
A method of fabricating an electronic assembly, comprising the steps of:furnishing a support having an electrical bonding pad thereon;furnishing metallic solder having a solder temperature/time reflow cycle;tinning the solder to the electrical bonding pad of the support;furnishing an electronic component having an electrical contact thereon;furnishing an adhesive having an adhesive temperature/time curing cycle permitting the adhesive to cure during the solder temperature/time reflow cycle;applying the adhesive to at least one of the component and a bonding location on the support to which the component is to be attached;contacting the component to the bonding location and the electrical contact to the electrical bonding pad; and thereafterheating the component and the support to an elevated temperature following the solder temperature/time reflow cycle so that, in a single heating cycle, the adhesive is cured and the solder is simultaneously reflowed.
