Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are a Cu core ball and a cu core column, which achieve dropping strength and strength against heat cycle. The Cu core ball ( 1 ) contains a Cu ball ( 2 ) made of Cu or a Cu alloy and a solder layer ( 3 ) which is made of a solder alloy composed of Sn and Cu and covers the Cu ball ( 2 ). The solder layer ( 3 ) contains not less than 0.1% through not more than 3.0% of Cu and the remainder is composed of Sn and impurities.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 12 . (canceled) 13 . A Cu core ball comprising: a spherical core layer; and a solder layer made of a solder alloy composed of Sn and Cu, the solder layer covering the core layer, wherein in the core layer, purity of Cu is not less than 99.9% through not more than 99.995%; a content of either Pb or Bi, or a total content of Pb and Bi is 1 ppm or more; a content of U is 5 ppb or less; a content of Th is 5 ppb or less; sphericity is 0.95 or more; and an emitting α dose is 0.0200 cph/cm2 or less; and wherein in the solder layer, a content of U is 5 ppb or less; a content of Th is 5 ppb or less; and an α dose emitting from the Cu core ball is 0.0200 cph/cm2 or less. 14 . The Cu core ball of claim 13 , wherein the solder layer comprises not less than 0.1% through not more than 3.0% of Cu, the remainder being composed of Sn and impurities. 15 . The Cu core ball of claim 14 , wherein the core layer covered by a layer made of at least one element selected from Ni and Co is covered by the solder layer. 16 . A solder paste comprising the Cu core ball of claim 13 . 17 . A formed solder comprising the Cu core ball of claim 13 . 18 . A solder joint comprising the Cu core ball of claim 13 .
