Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide an Sn—Bi—Cu—Ni solder alloy or the like which has a low melting point, excellent ductility, and high tensile strength, and in which if soldering is performed on a Cu electrode subjected to electroless Ni plating treatment, a solder joint formed through this soldering exhibits high shear strength. In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide an Sn—Bi—Cu—Ni solder alloy in which a solder joint formed through soldering exhibits high shear strength even for a Cu electrode which has not been subjected to plating treatment. Furthermore, still another object of the present invention is to provide, in addition to the above-described objects, a solder alloy or the like of which yellowish discoloration can be suppressed and in which change in viscosity of a solder paste over time can be suppressed. The solder alloy has an alloy composition consisting of, by mass %, 31% to 59% of Bi, 0.3% to 1.0% of Cu, 0.01% to 0.06% of Ni, 0.0040% to 0.025% of As, and a balance of Sn.
