A flip chip mounting process or a bump-forming process according to the present invention is characterized in that electrically-conductive particles are fixed on electrodes formed on an electronic component. A composition comprising solder powder, a convection additive and a resin component is supplied onto a surface of the electronic component, the surface is provided with the electrodes. The supplied composition is heated up to a temperature enabling the solder powder to melt. As a result, the convection additive boils or is decomposed so as to generate a gas. The generated gas produces a convection phenomenon within the supplied composition. Since the convection phenomenon promotes the movement of the solder powder, the solder powder can move freely within the composition. The electrically-conductive particles serve as nuclei for the solder powder to self-assemble and grow. As a result, the molten solder powder is allowed to self-assemble and grow in the vicinity of the electrically-conductive particles, which leads to a formation of connections or bumps. |
