of thermal shock. If the temperature rate is too fast, the component may be damaged<br />

due to the thermal influence such as thermal stress inside the components.<br />

Figure 3.16 Schematic of the four zones of reflow soldering [73]<br />

The soak zone is intended to achieve a uni<strong>for</strong>m thermal distribution be<strong>for</strong>e reaching<br />

the reflow zone. It is the flux activation zone where the volatiles in flux are further<br />

evaporated and the acid is thermally triggered. The flux reacts with the oxides on the<br />

surface of the solder spheres and bumping pads. If an oven has many heating zones, a<br />

significant number of zones should be dedicated to the soak zone. Once the<br />

temperature is above the melting point of the solder, the system enters the reflow<br />

zone. With the aid of flux, the solder bumps melt and the molten solders spread onto<br />
