Semiconductor device
A semiconductor device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a semiconductor element, an island having a surface on which the semiconductor element is fixed using a first metal, and a first pattern formed by a second metal, the first pattern being arranged on one part of the surface, wherein the second metal has a greater wetting characteristic than the surface when the first metal is melted.
1. A semiconductor device comprising:
a semiconductor element;
an island having a surface on which the semiconductor element is fixed using a first metal; and
a first pattern formed by a second metal, the first pattern being arranged on one part of the surface,
wherein the second metal has a greater wetting characteristic than the surface when the first metal is melted.
2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal is a solder, and the second metal is a silver.
3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the first pattern is formed by plating the second metal.
4. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the first pattern has a radial shape in which a plurality of rectangular patterns or linear patterns is intersected while differing directions.
5. The semiconductor device according to claim 4 , wherein the first pattern is a pattern in which a position where the plurality of rectangular patterns or linear patterns intersects is offset from a center of the island.
6. The semiconductor device according to claim 4 , wherein the first pattern has the plurality of rectangular patterns or the linear patterns intersected at a plurality of positions while differing directions.
7. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the first pattern includes a plurality of patterns of different shapes.
8. The semiconductor device according to claim 7 , wherein the first pattern includes an L-shaped pattern and a square or rectangular pattern.
9. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the first pattern includes a plurality of circular patterns.
10. The semiconductor device according to claim 9 , wherein the first pattern is a pattern in which a length of a liner segment joining a center of a certain circular pattern and that of another circular pattern which is arranged adjacent to the certain circular pattern and a length of another liner segment joining the center of the certain circular pattern and that of still another circular pattern which is arranged adjacent to the certain circular pattern are the same, and so that extension lines of the two liner segments are intersect other than the 90 degrees.
11. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising a second pattern made from the second metal that surrounds the first pattern.
