Abstract
Abstract A method for manufacturing and mounting a semiconductor device in which a void in a bonding portion is eliminated. A material which is to be formed into a protruding electrode is placed on a semiconductor element. The protruding electrode material is heated in a depressurized atmosphere so as to be melted. Then, the protruding electrode material is heated in a pressurized atmosphere which provides a pressure greater than a pressure in said depressurized atmosphere. Finally, the protruding electrode material is cooled so as to be solidified while the pressurized atmosphere is maintained. The semiconductor device is mounted to a mount board after a surface layer is electroplated on an electrode of the mount board.
