In a fee-setting system, an assessment unit assesses the degree of appropriateness in a medical facility regarding the use of a device relating to medical treatment used in the medical facility based on the degree of deviation and information regarding the medical facility, in which the degree of deviation that is obtained by comparing information indicating the usage status of the device that has been detected by a detection unit for detecting the usage status of the device with reference information regarding the method of using the device. A calculation unit calculates a fee to be charged to the medical facility based on the degree of appropriateness.

In connecting an electronic circuit part such as a semiconductor or other part to a substrate for mounting the part with solder, the solder is composed of a high-melting-point solder portion which is subjected to working such as rolling and heat treatment in order to break the cast structure thereof, and a smaller volume of low-melting-point solder portions. The high-melting-point solder portion is connected to both the electronic circuit substrate and the electronic circuit part through the low-point-melting solder portions. This method enables interconnection between objects to be connected without impairing the high ductility and toughness of the high-melting-point solder which is subjected to working and heat treatment. This soldering method ensures highly reliable manufacture of miniaturized high density circuits, such as LSI.
