Abstract

The disclosed junction material, manufacturing method thereof, and manufacturing method of junction structure utilize lead-free materials and ensure a high reliability of the junction between a semiconductor element and a frame or substrate, or, between a metal plate and another metal plate. For junctions between a semiconductor element and a frame or substrate, by using as the JUNCTION MATERIAL a laminate material comprising a Zn-based metallic layer (101), Al-based metallic layers (102a, 102b) on both sides thereof, and X-based metallic layers (103a, 103b) (X=Cu, Au, Ag or Sn) on the outside of both the Al-based metallic layers (102a, 102b), even in an oxygen-rich environment, the superficial X-based metallic layers protect the Zn and Al from oxidation until said junction material melts, preserving the wettability and bondability of said junction material as solder and securing the high reliability of the junction.
