Methods of making a paste of materials used in forming bumps for semiconductor applications wherein the distribution of trace elements is substantially uniform are provided. The methods of making a paste for a semiconductor package process comprises heating and fusing several materials to alloy the materials, rapidly cooling the fused alloy composition to improve conformity of the composition, processing the cooled alloy composition into a fine powder, and processing the alloy powder to be a paste-shape.

1. A method of preparing a paste of two or more component materials to form bumps for a semiconductor package process, the method comprising the steps of:(a) heating, fusing and mixing the component materials to form an alloy composition of the materials;(b) rapidly cooling the alloy composition to form a cooled alloy composition having a high degree of conformity;(c) processing the cooled alloy composition to form a solid;(d) processing the solid alloy composition into a fine alloy powder; and,(e) processing the alloy powder into a paste. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, further wherein the component materials are heated and fused in separate component furnaces. 3. The method as claimed in claim 2, further comprising the steps of mixing and alloying the fused component materials from the separate component furnaces in a component mixing furnace. 4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the component materials are mixed, fused and alloyed in a single heating and mixing furnace. 5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of processing the cooled alloy composition into a powder comprises an arc discharging or crushing method. 6. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of rapidly cooling the alloy composition comprises a first cooling step in which the alloy composition is slowly cooled to a first cooled temperature which is at or higher than the melting point of the alloy composition but lower than the melting points of the component materials to form a partially-cooled alloy composition, and a second cooling step in which the partially-cooled alloy composition is then rapidly cooled to a second cooled temperature which is at or below the melting point of the alloy composition. 7. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of rapidly cooling the alloy composition is carried out in a vacuum state or in an inert gas ambient atmosphere to prevent oxidization. 8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of heating, fusing and mixing the component materials to form an alloy composition is carried out in a vacuum state or an inert gas ambient atmosphere to prevent oxidization of the component materials and contamination caused by impurities. 9. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step of processing the alloy powder into a paste comprises kneading the powder with a suitable resin or flux to make a paste. 10. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said alloy composition comprises three or more component materials. 11. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein one of said component materials is present in a trace amount of less than about 10% by weight. 12. The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein one of said component materials is present in a trace amount of less than about 10% by weight. 13.
