Bisazo compounds useful as charge generating materials

Of two sheet-like solder stocks, one sheet-like solder stock is fed at a constant speed, and additive particles having a constant particle diameter are spread on an upper surface of the one solder material sheet in a quantitative fixed quantity. The other sheet-like solder stock is stacked on the upper surface of the one sheet-like solder stock, and the two stacked solder stocks are rolled and integrally laminated by rollers. The laminated solder sheet is cut into a plurality of narrow solder strips. Each of the solder strips is wound on a reel, and supplied as a die bonding material capable of being used for the die bonding. Thus, if this solder is used for a semiconductor chip die bonding, the unevenness in thickness of the solder layer directly under the die-bonded semiconductor chip becomes small, and it is possible to minimize the error in the semiconductor chip recognition in the case of the wire bonding.
