A composite solder material for mixing with flux to provide a composite solder paste. The solder material includes a mixture having a relatively low melting solder or solder-forming powder and a relatively high melting Ni-containing reinforcement powder. Use of the solder paste under solder reflow conditions produces a high melting point solder joint by liquid phase diffusion bonding wherein a Ni-stabilized high temperature hexagonal (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 phase is the solder joint matrix that bonds together the Ni-containing reinforcement powder particles. With each reflow cycle, more of the low melting solder or solder-forming powder is converted to the hexagonal (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 matrix phase, raising the final melting temperatures of the post-processed solder joint and giving the solder the ability to withstand higher Joule-heating, all while improving resistance to solder joint cracking.

A flip chip package, apparatus and technique in which a ball grid array composed of a doped eutectic Pb / Sn solder composition is used. The dopant in the Pb / Sn solder forms a compound or complex with the phosphorous residue from the electroless nickel plating process that is mixable with the Pb / Sn solder.
