Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide Cu ball that has an excellent alignment performance. In order to control wettability failure of the Cu ball at a moment of soldering, lightness is regulated as an index of determining oxide film thickness on a surface of the ball and the lightness is set to be 55 or more. Further, since it is preferable that the Cu ball has a higher sphericity to measure the lightness accurately, the purity of the Cu ball is set to be 99.995% or less to order to make the sphericity higher. When the lightness is 55 or more, it is preferable that the thickness of oxide film formed on the surface of the Cu ball is 8 nm or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 .- 5 . (canceled) 6 .
