Stenciling machines and methods for forming solder balls on microelectronic workpieces are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method for depositing and reflowing solder paste on a microelectronic workpiece having a plurality of dies includes positioning a stencil having a plurality of apertures at least proximate to the workpiece. The method further includes placing discrete masses of solder paste into the apertures and reflowing the discrete masses of solder paste while the stencil is positioned at least proximate to the workpiece and while the discrete masses are in the apertures. In another embodiment of the invention, a stenciling machine for depositing and reflowing solder paste on the microelectronic workpiece includes a heater for reflowing the solder paste, a stencil having a plurality of apertures, and a controller operatively coupled to the heater and the stencil. The controller has a computer-readable medium containing instructions to perform the above-mentioned method.
