Abstract

By a solder bump, a CSP is bonded to a first electrode of the module substrate of a multi-chip module. For this solder bump, a solder added with an alkaline earth metal such as Ba, Be, Ca or Mg is used. Accordingly, upon solder reflow, phosphorous (P) reacts with the alkaline earth metal, thereby forming a P compound. Owing to dispersion of this P compound inside of the solder bump, no P concentrated layer is formed on the Ni film, making it possible to prevent peeling of the solder bump from the first electrode upon solder reflow. Thus, the present invention makes it possible to improve the solder bonding property.
