Abstract
A member having a separated structure made by an alloy consisting of two regions having different compositions with each other is formed by casting a molten alloy into a prescribed shape, or by spray-quenching the same from a temperature of Tc+10° C. or more, wherein the molten alloy exhibits two phase separation in a liquid state having a temperature difference ΔT between the maximum temperature Tc (° C.) and minimum temperature Td (° C.) in the region of two phase separation in the liquid state being 10° C. or more, and the molten alloy has a mean composition with a difference of the volume fraction between the two liquid phases of 5% by volume or more. The suitable alloy is a Cu—Fe—X alloy, a Cu—Cr—X alloy, a Cu—Co—X alloy, a Cu—Bi—X alloy, an Al—Sn—X alloy or an Al—In—X alloy. The powder obtained by spray-quenching any one of the molten alloys of the Cu—Bi—X alloy, the Al—Sn—X alloy and the Al—In—X alloy has a separated structure comprising a surface portion having a solder composition and a core portion with a composition mainly comprising Cu and Al being excellent in electrical conductivity and heat conductivity and is suitable as a solder ball.
