sol·der

(sod'ĕr),

1. A fusible alloy used to unite edges or surfaces of two pieces of metal of higher melting point; hard solders, usually containing gold or silver as their main constituent, are usually used in dentistry to connect noble metal alloys.

2. To join two pieces of metal with such an alloy.

[L. solido, to make solid, through Fr., various forms]

Sealing the space between the CSP and substrate with liquid underfill makes it very difficult for volatiles from the CSP and substrate to escape during reflow. This is particularly true for lead-free CSP assembly, for which reflow temperatures are considerably higher.

The via holes permitted flux volatile ingredients to outgas and escape during reflow, and for some of the flux residue to drain to the back side of the board.
