Patent ID: 8302843

Claim:
A process of producing a semiconductor device, comprising: first melting by heating a superior portion of a bump formed on an electrode on one principle surface of a semiconductor substrate disposed in an interior of a chamber with a first heating unit provided at an upper portion in the interior of the chamber; and after the first melting, approximating a second heating unit provided at a lower portion in the interior of the chamber to the other principle surface of the semiconductor substrate by a moving unit, and second melting the entire bump by heating an inferior portion of the bump with the second heating unit, wherein, before the first melting, the process comprises first controlling a temperature of a formic acid gas atmosphere to be lower than a melting temperature of the bump and in the vicinity of a reduction starting temperature of an oxide film; and subsequently to the first controlling, second controlling a temperature of the formic acid gas atmosphere to be constant for a predetermined time to be a temperature lower than the melting temperature of the bump and not lower than the reduction starting temperature of the oxide film, to remove the oxide film.
