Abstract

A first solder is lead-free solder that contains no lead (Pb). The first solder includes a first metal that contains at least Sn; and a second metal that contains at least a Ni—Fe alloy. An electronic component built-in module may include an electronic component and a substrate on which the electronic component is installed, where a terminal of the electronic component and a terminal of the substrate are joined together by using the lead-free solder.

Claims (8)

1. An electronic component built-in module that includes an electronic component and a substrate on which the electronic component is installed, wherein

a terminal of the electronic component and a terminal of the substrate are joined together by using lead-free solder, and

the lead-free solder includes:

a first metal that contains at least Sn;

a second metal that contains at least a Ni—Fe alloy and contains no greater than 16% of Fe by mass; and

a paste material, wherein the first metal and the second metal are in the form of separated particles and are dispersed in the paste material,

wherein a ratio of the second metal to a total mass of the lead-free solder is in a range from 5% by mass to 30% by mass inclusive.

2. The lead-free solder according to claim 1 , wherein an average particle diameter of the second metal is in a range from 3 micrometers to 50 micrometers inclusive.
