  • Patent number: 9627342
    Abstract: Plating pre-processing is carried out before carrying out a plating process on the surface of a conducting section provided on a semiconductor wafer. A first metal film is formed on the surface of the conducting section by NiP alloy plating process. A second metal film is formed on the surface of the first metal film by immersion Ag plating process. The semiconductor wafer is diced and cut into semiconductor chips. A conductive composition containing Ag particles is applied to the surface of the second metal film which is on the front surface of the semiconductor chip. A bonding layer containing Ag particles is formed by sintering the conductive composition through heating. A metal plate is then bonded to the surface of the second metal film via the bonding layer containing Ag particles. The electronic component has high bonding strength, excellent thermal resistance and heat radiation properties.

  • Patent number: 9355987
    Abstract: A first metal film, of which major component is copper, is formed on a surface of a conductive portion which becomes a front surface electrode of a semiconductor element. A second metal film of which major component is silver is formed on a surface of the first metal film. A metal plate, which electrically connects the conductive portion and the other members (e.g. a circuit pattern of an insulated substrate) is bonded with a surface of the second metal film via a bonding layer containing silver particles. The second metal film does not contain nickel which decreases the bonding strength between the second metal film and the bonding layer containing silver particles. With the above configuration, an electronic component having a high bonding strength, excellent heat resistance and radiation performance, and a manufacturing method for the electronic component can be provided.
