In soldering an electronic component, for the purpose of leading molten
solder during re-flow, metallic powder 8 is mixed into flux employed so
as to intervene between a bump and an electrode. The metallic powder 8
has a flake or dendrite shape including a core segment 8a of the metal
molten at a higher temperature than the liquid phase temperature of
solder constituting a solder bump and a surface segment 8b of the metal
with good-wettability for the molten solder and to be solid-solved in the
core segment 8a molten. In the heating by the re-flow, the metallic
powder remaining in the flux without being taken in a solder portion is
molten and solidified to become substantially spherical metallic
particles 18. Thus, after the re-flow, the metallic powder does not
remain in a flux residue in a state where migration is likely to occur,
thereby combining both solder connectivity and insurance of insulation.
