Abstract

A semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor chip, an Au bump formed on the semiconductor chip, and Cu lead bonded to the Au bump through a bonding part. The Cu lead has a Cu core and a plated Sn layer formed on the Cu core, and the bonding part is formed of an Au--rich Au--Cu--Sn alloy of a ternary system having a single-phase structure with a composition of 15 atomic % Sn or less and 25 atomic % Cu or less.
