Abstract
A mounting structure which reduces the mechanical stress added to a low-κ material due to warping caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between a chip and a chip support during mounting. This mounting structure includes: a low-κ layer formed on top a semiconductor substrate; an electrode layer formed on the low-κ layer; a protective layer formed the low-κ layer and the electrode layer and having an opening reaching the electrode layer; a first solder layer filling the opening and formed on the electrode layer inside; a second solder layer formed on the first solder layer and having an elastic modulus smaller than the first solder layer; and a support layer connected to the second solder layer and supporting the semiconductor substrate. The protective layer has a greater elastic modulus and a smaller thermal expansion coefficient than an underfill layer formed between the protective layer and the support layer.
