Provided are a Cu column, a Cu core column, a solder joint, and a through-silicon via, which have the low Vickers hardness and the small arithmetic mean roughness. For the Cu column 1 according to the present invention, its purity is equal to or higher than 99.9% and equal to or lower than 99.995%, its arithmetic mean roughness is equal to or less than 0.3 μm, and its Vickers hardness is equal to or higher than 20 HV and equal to or less than 60 HV. Since the Cu column 1 is not melted at a melting temperature in the soldering and a definite stand-off height (a space between the substrates) can be maintained, it is preferably applied to the three dimensional mounting or the pitch narrowing mounting.
