Abstract

The impact strength resistance of a solder joint portion of a semiconductor device is improved. The semiconductor device has a joint structure wherein a jointing layer which does not contain sulfur substantially is arranged between an underlying conductive layer and a lead-free solder layer and further between the jointing layer and the lead-free solder layer is formed an alloy layer comprising elements of these layers.
