A bonding wire for a semiconductor device includes a Cu alloy core material and a Pd coating layer formed on a surface thereof. Containing an element that provides bonding reliability in a high-temperature environment improves the bonding reliability of the ball bonded part in high temperature. Furthermore, making an orientation proportion of a crystal orientation <100> angled at 15 degrees or less to a wire longitudinal direction among crystal orientations in the wire longitudinal direction 30% or more when measuring crystal orientations on a cross-section of the core material in a direction perpendicular to a wire axis of the bonding wire, and making an average crystal grain size in the cross-section of the core material in the direction perpendicular to the wire axis of the bonding wire 0.9 to 1.5 m provides a strength ratio of 1.6 or less.

A bonding wire includes a Cu alloy core material, and a Pd coating layer formed on the Cu alloy core material. The bonding wire contains at least one element selected from Ni, Zn, Rh, In, Ir, and Pt. A concentration of the elements in total relative to the entire wire is 0.03% by mass or more and 2% by mass or less. When measuring crystal orientations on a cross-section of the core material in a direction perpendicular to a wire axis of the bonding wire, a crystal orientation <100> angled at 15 degrees or less to a wire axis direction has a proportion of 50% or more among crystal orientations in the wire axis direction. An average crystal grain size in the cross-section of the core material in the direction perpendicular to the wire axis of the bonding wire is 0.9 m or more and 1.3 m or less.

A light emitting device mount includes a positive lead terminal, and a negative lead terminal. Each of the positive and negative lead terminal includes a first main surface, a second main surface, and an end surface. The end surface is provided between the first main surface and the second main surface. The end surface includes a first recessed surface area and a second recessed surface area. The first recessed surface area is extending from a first point of the first main surface in cross section. The second recessed surface area is extending from a second point of the second main surface in cross section. The first and second recessed surface areas define a protruding portion protruding outwardly.
