Patent attributes
The method for bonding a semiconductor element comprises the step of applying to solder bumps 10 of a semiconductor chip 12 a soldering flux 16 which contains a thermosetting resin, a polyhydric alcohol and an organic acid and in which the thermosetting resin remains uncured after reflow-bonding, the step of reflow-bonding the solder bumps 10 to the electrodes 18 of the circuit board 20 with the soldering flux 16 while melting the solder bumps 10, and the step of filling an underfill material 22 between the semiconductor chip 12 and the circuit board 20 with the soldering flux 16 being left, the underfill material 22 containing a thermosetting resin of the same group as the thermosetting resin contained in the soldering flux 16 and at least one of a curing agent and a cure catalyst for curing the thermosetting resins.
