Abstract

See full text

A method of using a solder reflow oven can include disposing at least one substrate including solder in a chamber of the oven. The method can include decreasing a pressure of the chamber to a first pressure between about 0.1-50 Torr. After decreasing the pressure of the chamber, the temperature of the at least one substrate can be increased to a first temperature. Formic acid vapor can be admitted into the chamber above the at least one substrate while nitrogen is discharged into the chamber below the at least one substrate. The method can also include removing at least a portion of the formic acid vapor from the enclosure. After the removing step, the temperature of the at least one substrate can be further increased to a second temperature higher than the first temperature. The at least one substrate can be maintained at the second temperature for a first time. And then, the at least one substrate can be cooled.
