Abstract: Since the solder 106 temporarily remaining in the first region 301 is in a state of being high in curvature, it is in point contact with the semiconductor element 105 at the vertex of the solder 106. Thereafter, the solder 106 is gradually wetted and spread from the center part to the peripheral part and from the first region 301 to the second region 302 while the semiconductor element 105 is pressed against the solder 106. At this time, since the solder 106 wets and spreads while discharging air, generation of voids can be suppressed.
