A solder ball achieves a desired quantity of solder material for a solder joint easily without increasing the thickness of a solder layer formed to cover a core. The solder ball comprises a conductive core having depressions on its outer surface, and a solder layer formed to cover the outer surface of the core in such a way as to fill the depressions of the core. Thus, the quantity of the solder material included in the ball is supplemented by the solder material filled into the depressions. Preferably, the core has a higher melting point than the solder layer and wettability to the solder layer. The core may have a cavity in its inside, thereby forming a shell-shaped core. The core may be made of a porous metal body having pores, in which part of the pores reaches the outer surface of the core, thereby forming the depressions.
