The present invention can give a joining structure using metal nanoparticles to join the same types or different types of metal where when one surface metal is Al based, the parts are joined through a joining layer containing Ni nanoparticles, whereby a good joining strength is obtained. Further, by using two joining layers () including metal nanoparticles to sandwich metal foil () so as to form a joining layer and joining the same type or different types of surface metals (-) through this joining layer, it is possible to ease the thermal stress due to the difference in amounts of thermal expansion of joined members which have two surface metals.

According to a lead-free solder bump bonding structure, by causing the interface (IMC interface) of the intermetallic compound layer at a lead-free-solder-bump side to have scallop shapes of equal to or less than 0.02 [portions/&#x3bc;m] without forming in advance an Ni layer as a barrier layer on the surfaces of respective Cu electrodes of first and second electronic components like conventional technologies, a Cu diffusion can be inhibited, thereby inhibiting an occurrence of an electromigration. Hence, the burden at the time of manufacturing can be reduced by what corresponds to an omission of the formation process of the Ni layer as a barrier layer on the Cu electrode surfaces, and thus a lead-free solder bump bonding structure can be provided which reduces a burden at the time of manufacturing in comparison with conventional technologies and which can inhibit an occurrence of an electromigration.

In an Sn&#x2014;Ag&#x2014;Cu based solder joint portion on a Cu electrode, a CuSn intermetallic compound layer is formed directly on the Cu electrode, and then a CuSnintermetallic compound layer is formed thereon. A Cu atomic site in the CuSnintermetallic compound layer is replaced by Ni having a smaller atomic radius than Cu to thereby reduce strain in the CuSnintermetallic compound layer, thus enabling impact resistance and vibration resistance to be improved therein.
