Abstract
The present invention relates to a solder ball for semiconductor packaging and an electronic member having such solder ball. Specifically there are provided: a solder ball capable of ensuring a sufficient thermal fatigue property even when a diameter thereof is not larger than 250 μm as observed in recent years; and an electronic member having such solder ball. More specifically, there are provided: a solder ball for semiconductor packaging that is made of a solder alloy containing Sn as a main element, 0.1-2.5% Ag by mass, 0.1-1.5% Cu by mass and at least one of Mg, Al and Zn in a total amount of 0.0001-0.005% by mass, such solder ball having a surface including a noncrystalline phase that has a thickness of 1-50 nm and contains at least one of Mg, Al and Zn, O and Sn, and an electronic member having such solder ball.
