CONSTITUTION:An Ni-Cr alloy layer 12 of a film thickness of 300 to 1000Angstrom , an Au-Ge alloy layer 13 of a film thickness of thousands Angstrom , a Cr/NiCn alloy layer 14 of a film thickness of 50 to 300Angstrom and an Au layer 15 of a film thickness of 1000 to 4000Angstrom are laminated on the rear of a P-type or N-type Si pellet (an Si substrate) 11 with elements, such as a transistor and the like, which are formed on its surface, by deposition or a sputtering method. If the type of the pellet 11 is an N-type, the layer 13 is replaced with an Au-Ge-Sb layer for ohmic contact. In the structure of a back electrode formed in such a way, a copper material can be directly bonded to tag parts, which are exposed, of a lead frame without using a brazing metal, the layer 15 fulfills an oxidation preventive role and the layers 15 and 13 fulfill jointly the role of a brazing metal.

The germanium in the gold-germanium alloy layer (3) plays the role of lowering the melting point of gold and improving bondability, and the nickel-chromium alloy layer (2) plays the role of bonding the pellet together by forming a u-alloy. It acts as an intermediary between the silicon (1) and the gold/germanium alloy layer (3) to prevent the gold layer (4) from peeling off. In addition, when the pellet (1) is composed of an N-type substrate such as an NPN-type transistor, it is easy to create a Schottky barrier between the N-type silicon and the electrode, so antimony (Sb) is added to the gold-germanium alloy N (3).
