1. A system for reflowing solder to interconnect a plurality of electronic components to a substrate, the system comprising:
- an oven for preheating the substrate and the plurality of electronic components disposed thereon;
a supplemental heat source positioned within the oven for providing additional heat energy to reflow the solder, wherein the supplemental heat source creates a stream of hot gas that flows transversely across the substrate; and
a pallet for supporting and absorbing heat from the substrate.
