Embodiment
(first embodiment)
Semiconductor device 100 according to first embodiment of the invention has been shown in 1A and 1B.Figure 1A showed before heat treatment, the device 100 before promptly welding, and Figure 1B shows after heat treatment, i.e. device 100 after the welding.
Device 100 comprises Semiconductor substrate 1 and substrate parts 2.Substrate 1 has the electronic unit that is formed on substrate 1 front side, as power transistor.The dorsal part of substrate 1 that will be relative with semiconductor device with tin-based solder layer S is bonded on the substrate parts 2.Substrate parts 2 for example is heat abstractor (heat sink), lead frame or circuit board.Following manufacturing device 100.
At first, on the front side of substrate 1, form electronic unit.On the dorsal part of substrate 1, form the first metal layer M and the second metal level N successively.Thus, formed semiconductor chip 10.Then, the solder layer S by between the second metal level N that is clipped in substrate parts 2 and chip 10 is assemblied in chip 10 on the substrate parts 2.Thus, prepared the laminated construction that constitutes chip 10 and substrate parts 2.Heat this laminated construction, so that second metal level is diffused among the solder layer S.And the first metal layer M and solder layer S directly react, and the result has formed alloy-layer T1 between the first metal layer M and solder layer S.Alloy-layer T1 is made by the alloy of the first metal layer M and solder layer S.Particularly, alloy-layer T1 is made by first metal among the first metal layer M and the tin among the solder layer S.After the welding, device 100 is made up of substrate 1, the first metal layer M, alloy-layer T1, solder layer S and substrate parts 2.At this, alloy-layer T1 is as the knitting layer between chip 10 and the substrate parts 2.Though the first metal layer M is formed directly on the substrate 1, can between substrate 1 and the first metal layer M, form another metal level or insulating barrier.
In device 100,, the dorsal part of substrate 1 is joined on the substrate parts 2 by metal level and the tin-based solder layer S that utilizes minimum number.Therefore, the manufacturing process of device 100 is simple, and the low cost of manufacture of device 100.
First metal among the first metal layer M for example is that (that is, Ti), (that is, Al), (that is, Fe), (that is, Mo), (that is, Cr), vanadium (that is, V) or Fe-Ni-Cr-alloy (that is Fe-Ni-Cr alloy) for chromium for molybdenum for iron for aluminium for titanium.First metal have with silicon substrate good engage character and good ohmic contact.And first metal and tin form alloy in solder layer S.Preferred first metal is made by Ti.Ti is as the conventional material of the metallization material of silicon in Semiconductor substrate.Therefore, Ti and silicon substrate have good character and the good ohmic contact of engaging.Yet, on the Ti film, form passivating film easily, as oxide-film.Thereby, usually, be difficult to the Ti layer is directly joined on the solder layer.Yet, in above device 100, on the first metal layer M, form the second metal level N, so that the second metal level N is as the sacrifice layer of welding.Thereby, between the first metal layer M and solder layer S, formed alloy-layer T1.Alloy-layer T1 has enough strong joint character.
The thickness of alloy-layer T1 preferably equals 3nm or thicker than 3nm.More preferably, the thickness of alloy-layer T1 equals 10nm or thicker than 10nm.When the average thickness of alloy-layer T1 is equal to or greater than 10nm, and when at the interface the minimum thickness of alloy-layer T1 is equal to or greater than 3nm between the first metal layer M and solder layer S, obtained enough strong joint character.And, when the thickness of alloy-layer T1 during greater than 10nm, the situation that has obtained to equal 10nm with average thickness much at one engage character.
The second metal level N is a thin layer, is used to protect the surface of the first metal layer M so that do not form passivating film on the surface of the first metal layer M.Heat treatment by welding can be diffused among the solder layer S the second metal level N, so that the second metal level N is disappeared.Thus, can easily control the thickness of the second metal level N.And, the welding condition of control device 100 easily.Thus, the manufacturing cost of device 100 becomes relatively low.
The thickness of the second metal level N is preferably in the scope between 50nm and 750nm, and is as described below.When the thickness of the second metal level N during less than 50nm, the second metal level N can not protect the surface of not oxidation of the first metal layer M the first metal layer M fully, that is, avoid forming passivating film on the surface of the first metal layer M.Therefore, in this case, the scolder wettability of solder layer S during heating treatment becomes littler, as a result the bond strength step-down between substrate 1 and the substrate parts 2.When the thickness of the second metal level N during greater than 50nm, the bond strength between substrate 1 and the substrate parts 2 becomes strong and constant.When the thickness of the second metal level N during, after welding, retained the second metal level N greater than 750nm.Therefore, unnecessary second metal level can increase the manufacturing cost of device 100.
Preferably (that is, PVD) method as vacuum deposition method and sputtering method, forms the first and second metal level M, N in proper order in vacuum chamber by utilizing physical vapor deposition.And preferably the vacuum degree before deposition is equal to or less than 5 * 10 -4Pa.This is because prevent that the first metal layer M's is surperficial oxidized.
Second metal among the second metal level N can be made by any metal.Preferred second metal is that (that is, Ni), (that is, Cu), (that is, Ag), (that is, Au), (that is, Pt), (that is (that is, Ag-Pd) alloy or palladium be (that is, Pd), Ag-Pt) to close gold, silver-palladium for silver-platinum for platinum for gold for silver for copper for nickel.More preferably, second metal is nickel or gold.These two kinds of metals can form alloy with first metal or the tin among the solder layer S among the first metal layer M.The second metal level N can be made up of multilayer film, and it is made by above metal.In Technology for Heating Processing, promptly in welding procedure, second metal can be diffused among the solder layer S.And second metal can be contained among the alloy-layer T1, and alloy-layer becomes the second alloy-layer T2 as a result, shown in Fig. 6 A and 6B.
Tin-based solder layer S can be made by Pb-free solder, and it does not comprise lead (that is, Pb).Therefore, can make device 100 harmless and safely, so that obtain environmental protection.The mass content of tin is equal to or greater than 95wt.% among the preferred solder layer S.(that is, Sn), (that is, Sn-Cu) alloy, tin-silver-copper be (promptly for tin-copper by tin for preferred solder layer S, Sn-Ag-Cu) alloy, tin-copper-nickel (that is, Sn-Cu-Ni) alloy, tin-antimony (that is, Sn-Sb) alloy, tin-indium be (promptly, Sn-In) (that is, Sn-Zn) alloy is made for alloy or tin-zinc.More preferably, solder layer S is made by pure Sn, Sn-(0.7wt.%Cu) alloy, Sn-(3.5wt.%Ag) alloy, Sn-(1wt.% to 3.9wt.%Ag)-(0.3wt.% to 1.5wt.%Cu) alloy or Sn-(0.7wt.%Cu)-(0.06wt.%Ni) alloy.Preferably, solder layer S can comprise additive, as phosphorus (that is, P) and germanium (that is, Ge).
Next, for example, following manufacturing device 100.
At first, on the dorsal part of substrate 1, form Ti film, so that on substrate 1, form the first metal layer M with 250nm thickness.Then, on the first metal layer M, form the second metal level N that forms by Ni film with 50nm and 1000nm ranges of thicknesses and Au film with 50nm thickness.At this, the second metal level N is made by multilayer film.Next, on substrate parts 2, form the solder layer S that makes by (99.24wt.%Sn)-(0.7wt.%Cu)-(0.06wt.%Ni) alloy.Substrate parts 2 is made of metal.The semiconductor chip 10 that will comprise the substrate 1 with the first and second metal level M, N via solder layer S is assemblied on the substrate parts 2.Then, assembling chip 10 and substrate parts 2 in the hydrogen reducing atmosphere stove.In stove, chip 10 and substrate parts 2 are heated to 270 ℃, it is than the solidus temperature height of solder layer S.At this, solidus temperature is about 220 ℃.Thus, in 20 seconds, make chip 10 and substrate parts 2 be heated to 270 ℃ peak temperature, so that solder layer S is refluxed.In this Technology for Heating Processing, that is, in this welding procedure, chip 10 is welded on the substrate parts 2.
After welding, study the cross section of device 100.As a result, when the thickness of Ni film was equal to or less than 750nm, the second metal level N that is made up of Ni film and Au film had been diffused among the solder layer S, made to have formed the first alloy-layer T1 that is made up of Ti and Sn.Yet when the thickness of Ni film during greater than 750nm, the Ni film among the second metal level N remains.This unreacted Ni film is to not contribution of the joint between chip 10 and the substrate parts 2.Therefore, in order to reduce the manufacturing cost of device 100, the thickness of preferred Ni film is equal to or less than 750nm.
Fig. 2 shows the percentage of defects of the device 100 of the Ni film with different-thickness.Caused the defective of device 100 by the solder of defective.Fig. 3 shows the tensile strength of the device 100 of the Ni film with different-thickness.At this, ten samples of the device 100 in the Ni film of having studied at every kind of thickness.
Shown in Fig. 2 and 3, when the thickness of Ni film was 50nm, 100% the solder of defective occurred.Therefore, the bond strength between substrate 1 and the substrate parts 2 is very weak.This is the very thin thickness because of the Ni film, so that the second metal level N can not protect the first metal layer M to avoid oxidized.In this case, the Ti film of the first metal layer M is surperficial oxidized.Therefore, need the Ni film to become thicker more oxidized to prevent the Ti film than 50nm.When the thickness of Ni film during, obtained enough strong bond strength greater than 50nm.
Fig. 4 shows the tensile strength of the device 100 of the Au film with different-thickness.In this case, the second metal level N of device 100 only is made up of the Au film.Therefore, in the second metal level N, do not form the Ni film.At this, ten samples of the device 100 in the Au film of having studied at every kind of thickness.When the thickness of Au film was 50nm, the solder of defective had appearred.Yet,, obtained enough strong bond strength when the thickness of Au film during greater than 50nm.
Fig. 5 shows the results of elemental analyses in the knitting layer cross section in device 100.In this case, device 100 has by molybdenum (that is the first metal layer M that, Mo) makes and the second metal level N that is made by Ni.In the enterprising row element analysis of thickness direction.Thus, Fig. 5 shows the depth profile of elementary analysis.As shown in Figure 5, the Ni among the second metal level N has been diffused among the solder layer S, and the result has formed the first alloy-layer T1 by the Mo-Sn alloy composition.
