いために機械的強度の改善に限度があった。However, the above-mentioned conventional Pd ultrafine wire has an increased mechanical strength such as breaking strength when the amount of the base metal added is increased. However, during the wire bonding or the bump formation, sparks or the like are not formed. Since an oxide film is formed on the surface of the ball when the ball is formed by electric discharge heating, there is a problem that the sphericity is lowered due to distortion of the ball and a predetermined bonding strength cannot be obtained. That is, since the ball sphericity at the time of ball formation cannot be obtained, there is a limit to the improvement of mechanical strength.

度が向上する。According to the present invention, since the Pd extra fine wire absorbs hydrogen, the Pd extra fine wire is melted and the hydrogen absorbed therein is released when a ball is formed by heating the Pd extra fine wire by discharge heating. As a result, an atmosphere of hydrogen gas is formed around the ball to prevent the base metal contained in the Pd ultrafine wire from being oxidized. Therefore, the ball is not distorted and the sphericity of the ball is improved.

This spool is mounted on a wire bonding machine, and when the bonding machine is used, the Pd ultrafine wire is fed to a capillary while being fed out, and the tip of the Pd ultrafine wire is discharge-heated by a spark to form the tip into a ball shape, This ball is thermocompression-bonded to the chip electrode of the semiconductor element by descending the capillary, and then the Pd ultrafine wire is guided to the external lead while forming a loop and pressure-bonded to the lead (wire bonding method). It is used to cut a neck portion of a ball thermocompression bonded onto a chip to form a bump electrode.
