The present invention provides a coated solder material that is capable of preventing the advancement of oxidation of the surface during long-term storage and when melted, and that has excellent wetting extendability and bondability, without the occurrence of gaps in the bonded areas. A coating film is formed on the surface of a solder material; the coating film including a carbon compound that is formed by introducing an organic compound having a carbon number of 8 or less together with a carrier gas into a reaction gas that has been plasmatized under atmospheric pressure, and after a radicalized organic compound has been formed by radicalizing the organic compound, causing the radicalized organic compound to react with the metal on the surface of the solder material; the thickness of the coating film is 4 nm to 200 nm, and when heated at 150°C to 300°C and melted, the mass-reduction rate is 60% or greater. |
