First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A solder material, comprising: an alloy of at least five elements including Sn, Cu, Sb, In, and 20 mass % or less of Ag, wherein a solidus temperature of the solder material is higher than 290° C., a liquidus temperature of the solder material is 379° C. or less and is higher than the solidus temperature, and a temperature difference between the liquidus temperature and the solidus temperature is 70° C. or less. 2 . The solder material according to claim 1 , wherein the solder material includes 25 to 45 mass % of Sn, 30 to 40 mass % of Sb, 3 to 8 mass % of Cu, 3 to 9 mass % of In, a remaining portion of Ag, and inevitable impurities. 3 . The solder material according to claim 1 , wherein the solder material includes Si and Ti, and respective contents of Si and Ti are 0.1 mass % or less. 4 . The solder material according to claim 1 , wherein the solder material includes at least one of Zn or Pd, and respective contents of Zn and Pd are 0.1 mass % or less. 5 . The solder material according to claim 1 , wherein the solder material includes 36 to 40 mass % of Sn, 34 to 38 mass % of Sb, 4 to 6 mass % of Cu, 4 to 6 mass % of In, a remaining portion of Ag, and inevitable impurities. 6 . The solder material according to claim 1 , wherein the solder material includes a paste mixed with a flux. 7 . The solder material according to claim 1 , wherein the solder material is in a form of a preform that is punched out after the solder material is processed into a metal foil. 8 . An electronic component for mounting on a circuit board, comprising a container that houses an electronic element; and the solder material according to claim 1 used for the container. 9 . The electronic component according to claim 8 , wherein the solder material is used as a sealing material to airtightly seal the container. 10 . The electronic component according to claim 9 , wherein the container is constituted of a base portion and a lid portion sealed with the solder material, and an atmosphere inside the container is at least one of a depressurized atmosphere and an inert gas atmosphere. 11 . The electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the container is mounted on a wiring board, and the container is sealed with a resin material over the whole container from a surface of the wiring board, and the solder material is used to electrically connect an electrode of the container to the wiring board.
