DCFirst Claim
1. A semiconductor device having at least a solder bump formed of alloy solder on an under-bump layer including a first metal formed above a wiring layer, comprising:
- an intermetallic compound including a metal that is the main component of the alloy solder and a second metal different from the metal that is the main component of the alloy solder, said second metal also being different from a metal in the adjoining under-bump layer, wherein the intermetallic compound is formed between the solder bump and the adjoining under-bump layer.

Abstract
A highly reliable semiconductor chip electrode structure allowing control of interface reaction of bonding sections even in the case of using two- or three-element solder used conventionally is disclosed. A solder alloy making layer for preventing dissolving and diffusion of tin into tin-based lead free solder is thinly formed on a UBM layer. The tin-based solder is supplied in solder paste or solder ball form. A combined solder alloy layer composed of a combination of intermetallic compounds, one of tin and the solder alloy making layer, and one of tin and the UBM layer, is formed by heating and melting.
