Title:
HIGH-PURITY TIN OR TIN ALLOY AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HIGH-PURITY TIN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/004394
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A high-purity tin or tin alloy characterized in that the respective contents of U and Th are simultaneously 5 ppb or less and the respective contents of Pb and Bi simultaneously 1 ppm or less, and that the purity thereof is 5 N or higher (provided that the gas components of O, C, N, H, S and P are excluded). Further, there is provided a high-purity tin or tin alloy characterized in that the α-ray count of high-purity tin with cast structure is 0.001 cph/cm2 or less. Recent semiconductor devices, as density and capacity enhancements are promoted, increasingly encounter the danger of soft error generated by the influence of α-ray from a material lying in the neighborhood of semiconductor chips. Especially, the demand for purity increase of a solder material or tin used adjacent to semiconductor devices is strong, and a material of reduced α-ray is demanded. Accordingly, it is intended to obtain a high-purity tin or tin alloy having α-ray level of tin reduced in conformity with the above demands and obtain a process for producing such a high-purity tin.
