A solder alloy is a tin-silver-copper solder alloy containing tin, silver, copper, nickel, antimony, bismuth, and indium, and substantially does not contain germanium, wherein relative to the total amount of the solder alloy, the silver content is more than 0.05 mass % and less than 0.2 mass %, and the antimony content is 0.01 mass % or more and less than 2.5 mass %.

A lead-free solder joint is formed between a tin-silver-copper solder alloy (SAC), SACX, or other commonly used Pb-free solder alloys, and a metallization layer of a substrate. Interaction of the SAC with the metallization layer forms an intermetallic compound (IMC) that binds the solder mass to the metallization layer. The IMC region is substantially free of any phosphorous-containing layers or regions.

A semiconductor device having both high strength and high thermal radiation that is capable of being applied to mounting on automobiles experiencing many thermal cycles, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. A circuit board 1a for a resin encapsulated semiconductor module device has a configuration where a silicon nitride plate 2 with a thickness of 0.635 mm has copper plates of 1.0 mm and 0.8 mm bonded to both sides thereof via active metal. A copper plate 3a is bonded to the surface side of the silicon nitride plate 2, and a prescribed circuit pattern is formed on the copper plate 3a. Tin-silver-copper cream solder layers 4a and 4b with a thickness of 200 μm are formed at a prescribed location on the circuit pattern 3a on which a semiconductor element 6 is mounted and at a prescribed location of a base plate 1 on which the circuit board 1a is disposed. Nickel particles 5 having a maximum particle size of 100 μm and an average particle size of 70 μm are dispersed in the solder 4a on the base plate 1 of good thermal conductivity. A semiconductor element (chip) 6, the circuit board 1a, and the base plate 1 are disposed on predetermined locations. Thereafter, they are set in a reflow oven (not shown in the drawings) for reflow soldering. After the inside of the reflow oven is replaced by a nitrogen atmosphere, the reflow oven is heated to 280° C. At the time when solder is melted, the inside of the oven is decompressed to 1 Pa, nitrogen is introduced, and the reflow oven is cooled to about room temperature, thereby completing the solder bonding step. After flux is washed, an outer case 7 with an insert-molded outlet terminal 8 is adhered to the base plate 1 and a predetermined connection is conducted via an aluminum bonding wire 9. Then, silicone gel 10 is injected into a package delimited via the base plate 1 and the outer case 7, and the silicone gel 10 is heat-hardened, thereby completing a resin encapsulated semiconductor device A.
