Abstract:
When a first joining object and a second joining object are joined to each other, the first joining object has a first metal composed of Sn or an alloy containing Sn, the second joining object has a second metal composed of an alloy containing at least one selected from among Ni, Mn, Al and Cr, and Cu. The first joining object and the second joining object are subjected to heat treatment in a state of being in contact with each other to produce an intermetallic compound at an interface between both joining objects such that both joining object are joined to each other. An alloy containing Sn in an amount of 70% by weight or more is used as the first metal. An alloy containing Sn in an amount of 85% by weight or more is used as the first metal.
Abstract:
In joining a first metal member composed of a first metal to a second metal member composed of a second metal with a joining material interposed therebetween, the joining material including a low melting point metal having a lower melting point than the first metal and/or the second metal, the low melting point metal composing the joining material is Sn or an alloy containing Sn, at least one of the first metal and the second metal is a metal or an alloy which forms an intermetallic compound with the low melting point metal composing the joining material, and heat treatment is performed at a temperature at which the low melting point metal melts in a state of locating the joining material between the first metal member and the second metal member.
Abstract:
A connection structure that includes a region where at least a Cu—Sn intermetallic compound, a M-Sn intermetallic compound and a Cu-M-Sn intermetallic compound (where M is Ni and/or Mn) exist in a cross-section of a connecting part when the cross-section of the connecting part is analyzed with a WDX. Further, the connection structure is configured so that when the cross-section of the connecting part is evenly divided into ten sections in a vertical direction and a lateral direction, respectively, to form 100 segmentalized squares in total, a ratio of the number of squares in which two or more kinds of intermetallic compounds having different constituent elements exist to the number of all the squares, except for squares in which only a Sn-based metal component exists, is 70% or more.
Abstract:
A conductive material that includes a metal component consisting of a first metal and a second metal having a melting point higher than that of the first metal, wherein the first metal is Sn or an alloy containing 70% by weight or more of Sn, and the second metal is a metal or alloy which forms an intermetallic compound having a melting point of 310° C. or higher with the first metal and has a lattice constant difference of 50% or greater between itself and the intermetallic compound generated at the circumference of the second metal.
