Abstract

A structure in which a phosphorus-nickel layer, a rich phosphorus nickel layer that contains phosphorus or boron higher than this phosphorus-nickel layer, a nickel-tin ally layer, a tin-rich tin alloy layer, and a tin alloy solder layer are formed in sequence on an electrode. Accordingly, adhesiveness between a metal pattern used as the electrode, the wiring, or the pad and the solder can be improved.
