Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A mount structure includes two members that are bonded to each other with a bonding material layer having a first interface layer and a second interface layer at the interfaces with the two members. The bonding material layer contains a first intermetallic compound and a stress relaxation material. The first intermetallic compound has a spherical, a columnar, or an oval spherical shape, and the same crystalline structure as the first interface layer and the second interface layer, and partly closes the space between the first interface layer and the second interface layer. The stress relaxation material contains tin as a main component, and fills around the first intermetallic compound.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A mount structure comprising two members that are bonded to each other with a bonding material layer having a first interface layer and a second interface layer at the interfaces with the two members, the bonding material layer containing a first intermetallic compound and a stress relaxation material, the first intermetallic compound having a spherical, a columnar, or an oval spherical shape, and same crystalline structure as the first interface layer and the second interface layer, and partly closing space between the first interface layer and the second interface layer, the stress relaxation material containing tin as a main component, and filling around the first intermetallic compound, wherein the first interface layer, the second interface layer, and the first intermetallic compound are (Cu,Ni) 6 Sn 5 . 2. The mount structure according to claim 1 , wherein the bonding material layer further comprises a second intermetallic compound having a different crystalline structure from the first interface layer and the second interface layer. 3. The mount structure according to claim 1 , wherein the stress relaxation material contains Sn, and In or Bi. 4. The mount structure accordingly to claim 1 , wherein the stress relaxation material contains Sn, and Co or Ge. 5. A mount structure comprising two members that are bonded to each other with a bonding material layer having a first interface layer and a second interface layer at the interfaces with the two members, the bonding material layer containing a first intermetallic compound and a stress relaxation material, the first intermetallic compound having a spherical, a columnar, or an oval spherical shape, and same crystalline structure as the first interface layer and the second interface layer, and partly closing space between the first interface layer and the second interface layer, the stress relaxation material containing tin as a main component, and filling around the first intermetallic compound, wherein the stress relaxation material contains Sn, and Co or Ge. 6. A mount structure comprising two members that are bonded to each other with a bonding material layer having a first interface layer and a second interface layer at the interfaces with the two members, the bonding material layer containing a first intermetallic compound and a stress relaxation material, the first intermetallic compound having a spherical, a columnar, or an oval spherical shape, and same crystalline structure as the first interface layer and the second interface layer, and partly closing space between the first interface layer and the second interface layer, the stress relaxation material containing tin as a main component, and filling around the first intermetallic compound, wherein the bonding material layer further comprises a second intermetallic compound having a different crystalline structure from the first interface layer and the second interface layer, and wherein the second intermetallic compound is Ag 3 Sn.
