A method of electrically connecting a semiconductor package to a substrate by using bump contacts formed by heating the tip of an alloy wire and directly joined to aluminum alloy wiring lines, an alloy wire for such a purpose, and a semiconductor device constructed by electrically connecting a semiconductor package to a substrate by such a method. The alloy wire is produced by drawing an alloy material produced by quench solidifying an alloy containing Pb, Sn or In as a principal element, and an additive element or additive elements. The tip of the alloy wire is heated to form a ball to be joined to the aluminum alloy wiring line as a bump contact. The Brinell hardness number of the ball is HB 6 or higher. |
