Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The Cu core ball contains a Cu ball and one or more metal layer for covering a surface of the Cu ball, each layer including one or more element selected from Ni, Co, Fe and Pd. The Cu ball contains at least one element selected from Fe, Ag, and Ni in a total amount of 5.0 or more to 50.0 ppm by mass or lower, S in an amount of 0 ppm by mass or more to 1.0 ppm by mass or lower, P in an amount of 0 ppm by mass or more to less than 3.0 ppm by mass, and remainder of Cu and inevitable impurities. The Cu ball contains purity which is 99.995% by mass or higher and 99.9995% or lower, sphericity which is 0.95 or higher and a diameter of 1 μm or more to 1000 μm or lower.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A Cu core ball comprising: a Cu ball, and one or more metal layer for covering a surface of the Cu ball, each layer including one or more element selected from a group of Ni, Co, Fe and Pd, wherein the Cu ball contains at least one element selected from a group of Fe, Ag and Ni in a total amount of 5.0 ppm by mass or more to 50.0 ppm by mass or lower, S in an amount of 0 ppm by mass or more to 1.0 ppm by mass or lower, P in an amount of 0 ppm by mass or more to less than 1.0 ppm by mass, and remainder of Cu and inevitable impurities, wherein the Cu ball contains purity which is 99.995% by mass or higher to 99.9995% by mass or lower, and sphericity which is 0.95 or higher, and wherein the Cu ball contains a diameter of 1 μm or more to 1000 μm or lower. 2. The Cu core ball according to claim 1 wherein the sphericity thereof is 0.98 or higher. 3. The Cu core ball according to claim 1 wherein the sphericity thereof is 0.99 or higher. 4. The Cu core ball according to claim 1 wherein the Cu core ball contains alpha dose which is 0.0200 cph/cm 2 or lower. 5. The Cu core ball according to claim 1 wherein the Cu core ball contains alpha dose which is 0.0010 cph/cm 2 or lower. 6. The Cu core ball according to claim 1 , further containing a solder layer which covers a surface of the metal layer wherein the sphericity of the Cu core ball is 0.95 or higher. 7. The Cu core ball according to claim 6 wherein the sphericity of the Cu core ball is 0.98 or higher. 8. The Cu core ball according to claim 6 wherein the sphericity of the Cu core ball is 0.99 or higher. 9. The Cu core ball according to claim 6 wherein the Cu core ball contains alpha dose which is 0.0200 cph/cm 2 or lower. 10. The Cu core ball according to claim 6 wherein the Cu core ball contains alpha dose which is 0.0010 cph/cm 2 or lower. 11. A solder joint formed from the Cu core ball according to claim 1 . 12. The solder joint according to claim 11 , the Cu core ball further containing a solder layer which covers a surface of the metal layer wherein the sphericity of the Cu core ball is 0.95 or higher. 13. Solder paste comprising the Cu core ball according to claim 1 . 14. The solder paste according to claim 13 , the Cu core ball further containing a solder layer which covers a surface of the metal layer wherein the sphericity of the Cu core ball is 0.95 or higher. 15. Formed solder comprising the Cu core ball according to claim 1 . 16. The formed solder according to claim 15 , the Cu core ball further containing a solder layer which covers a surface of the metal layer wherein the sphericity of the Cu core ball is 0.95 or higher.
