Disclosed is a substrate for device bonding which enables to bond a device with high bonding strength to an Au electrode which is formed on the substrate composed of an aluminum nitride or the like by soldering at a low temperature using a soft solder metal having a low melting point such as an Au-Sn solder with an Au content of 10 weight%. The substrate for device bonding is characterized in that (i) a layer composed of a platinum group element, (ii) a layer composed of at least one transition metal element selected from the group consisting of Ti, V, Cr and Co, (iii) a barrier metal layer composed of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ag, Cu and Ni, and (iv) a solder layer composed of a solder mainly containing Sn or In are sequentially formed in this order on an Au electrode layer which is formed over the surface of the substrate for device bonding. |
