Abstract
Abstract A semi-conductor device comprising a silicon body having an exposed surface of N-type conductivity layer and a substrate bonded to the exposed surface by means of a layer of a new solder material, the solder material being an alloy consisting essentially of 2 to 12% by weight of at least one element of Group V of the periodic table, preferably antimony, and 0.01 to 5% by weight of at least one of rare earth elements, for example, Misch metal and aluminum being balance on the basis of total weight of the solder material. An increase in FVD of the device in which a conventional aluminum solder is used is prevented by the use of the new solder materials.
