A solder bump and a conductive connection structure are provided which can conductively connect a semiconductor chip and a substrate with high connection reliability. Filler 5 is contained in a solder bump 6 and a solder joint 17 which connect a connection electrode 3 of a semiconductor chip 2 and a substrate 11, and the filler has a larger density on the side of the connection electrode 3 than on the side of the substrate 11 in the solder joint 17. Therefore, in the cooling solidification of solder, the shrinkage of the solder joint 17 near the connection electrode 3 of the semiconductor chip 2 is reduced by the filler 5 and the occurrence of a stress is reduced on the peripheral portion of the connection electrode 3, thereby preventing the occurrence of cracks near the joint.
