Electrical joint structure

Abstract

An electrical joint structure including a substrate, a multi-layer bonding structure, and a blocking layer is provided. The multi-layer bonding structure is present on the substrate and includes a diffusive metal layer and a tin-rich layer. The diffusive metal layer includes a copper-tin alloy on a surface of the diffusive metal layer. The surface faces the substrate. A thickness of the copper-tin alloy is less than or equal to 2 μm. The tin-rich layer is present on and in contact with the diffusive metal layer. The blocking layer is present between the multi-layer bonding structure and the substrate and at least in contact with a part of said copper-tin alloy, such that the multi-layer bonding structure is spaced apart from the substrate.
