In the case, on the upper and lower surface of conductor terminal 29, form the plating mask 38 and 39 that each is made of gold plate 35, priming coat 34 and gold plate 33 respectively, the generation that prevents to electroplate burr thus.
In the above-described embodiments, each of electroplating mask 38 and 39 forms and makes the precious metal electroplating layer be set to the bottom and the superiors, is set to mid portion as the Ni coating of priming coat; But the precious metal electroplating layer in the bottom can be omitted, and priming coat can be the base metal electrodeposited coating with big thickness.In the case, arbitrarily metal can be used as the base metal electrodeposited coating, and liquid does not corrode as long as this metal is not etched, but preferably use as demonstrate the etching liquid repellence tin coating, tin bismuth coating, kupper solder coating or lead-free solder coating.Liquid corrodes because these metals can not be etched, and lip-deep thin precious metal electroplating layer does not form burr.Should be noted that if compare its corrosion (for example, etch rate is 1/10 or following) that is difficult to be etched with Ni coating, so this base metal electrodeposited coating is enough, even and it is corroded to a certain extent, this corrosion can compensate (for example, 4 to 8 μ m) by increasing its thickness.
Next, Fig. 4 is by the explanatory according to the semiconductor device of the manufacture method manufacturing of the semiconductor device of second embodiment of the invention.Fig. 5 is the cutaway view of explanation according to the details of the lead-in wire bonding part of second embodiment of the invention.Fig. 6 A to 6C is the explanatory of application according to the semiconductor device of the manufacture method of the semiconductor device of second embodiment of the invention.
At first, will describe shown in Figure 4 and by semiconductor device 28 according to the manufacture method manufacturing of the semiconductor device of second embodiment of the invention.Those composed components identical with the manufacture method of semiconductor device shown in Figure 1 are represented that by same reference numbers its detailed description will be omitted.
As shown in Figure 4, by according to the semiconductor device 28 of the manufacture method manufacturing of the semiconductor device of second embodiment of the invention therein the heart have semiconductor element 18 and have conductor terminal 29 at its periphery, the upper surface side of this conductor terminal 29 (front surface side) forms lead-in wire bonding part 17, promptly, an inner example that connects the end, and the lower face side of this conductor terminal 29 (anti-face side) forms the outside end 22 that connects, lead-in wire bonding part 17 and the outside arranged in form of end 22 with area array that be connected.The lead-in wire bonding part 17 and the electrode pad part 30 of semiconductor element 18 are electrically connected by bonding wire 20, and the first half of semiconductor element 18, bonding wire 20 and 21 resin-encapsulates of conductor terminal 29 encapsulated resins.
Figure 4 illustrates the details of conductor terminal 29.At first, by making lead frame material 10 stand on the upper and lower side of the shaft-like copper conductor 32 (referring to Fig. 4) that etching forms the priming coat 34 with about 0.5 to 2 μ m thickness to be set, and the gold plate 35 with 0.15 to 0.5 μ m thickness further is set thereon, this gold plate 35 is examples of precious metal electroplating layer.In this embodiment, Ni coating is set to priming coat 34.The thickness that should be noted that lead frame material 10 is about 0.1 to 0.3 μ m, but the present invention is not limited to these thickness.The thickness of this gold plate 35 is not limited, as long as it has and makes the substrate thickness that liquid corroded that is not etched; But too thick if gold plate 35 becomes, manufacturing cost is increased sharply unfriendly so.Form conductor terminal 29 (and will below with the element mounting portion of describing 16) by etching, and because its peripheral burr 26 have been removed, the above-mentioned priming coat 34 that forms on the upper and lower side of copper conductor 32 and the width of gold plate 35 width with the section of copper conductor 32 basically are identical.
According to its structure, element mounting portion 16 is provided with the coating with conductor terminal 29 same structures.The Lower Half of element mounting portion 16 and conductor terminal 29 protrude and are exposed to the outside from encapsulating resin 21.On the bottom of each connection end 22, outside, the electrodeposited coating with excellent wettability is set, and the fusion of passing through the emulsion scolder of setting on another substrate 36, be electrically connected with another substrate 36 foundation, as shown in Figure 4.
Element mounting portion 16 is disposed on the basal surface side of semiconductor element 18, promotes thus from the heat dissipation of semiconductor element 18.
Next, will describe the method for making this semiconductor device 28, still only describe the different part of manufacture method in detail with the conventional semiconductor device 23 shown in Fig. 7 A to 7J.In Fig. 7 A to 7J, the step of Fig. 7 A to 7C is identical.In the step of Fig. 7 D, under the situation of carrying out the whole body plating, the priming coat 34 with about 0.5 to 2 μ m thickness at first is set, as shown in Figure 5.Then, the gold plate 35 with 0.15 to 0.5 μ m thickness is set further thereon, this gold plate 35 is examples of precious metal electroplating layer.
Next, shown in Fig. 7 E, cover the whole lower face side of lead frame material 10 with resist film 15, and carry out etching partially of face side, shown in Fig. 7 F.In the case, liquid corrodes although part lead frame material 10 and part priming coat 34 are etched, and therefore the corrosion because gold plate 35 is not etched forms lead-in wire bonding part 17, as shown in Figure 5.That is, lead frame material 10 is etched to reservation shape, and with the first half of formation copper conductor 32, and part priming coat 34 is also corroded simultaneously.Then, remaining at gold plate 35 quilts of topmost portion, and directly form plating burr 26 around the periphery on copper conductor 32.Be left by former state ground if electroplate burr 26, cause the product defects of semiconductor device, as describing before.
Thus, etch partially the step that step (F) provides the unhairing limit afterwards and cleans this coating at this.The ultrasonic wave of unhairing limit by for example applying at Qi Chu of this coating is applied to burr 26 with cleaning fluid and realizes.In addition, the unhairing limit of coating can also be by grinding with brush etc. or by the water injection etc., by realizing on the mechanical epilation limit, and maybe can the chemical treatment of chloroazotic acid realizes by for example utilizing.Because electroplate burr from upside and downside fusing, and the part that needs (for example, lead-in wire bonding part) only melts separately from a side, therefore electroplating burr can be removed.Subsequently, remove the plating burr of being removed by cleaning fully from this product.Should be noted that etching partially step (F) and (I) afterwards, flushing is carried out naturally, removing etching liquid, and realizes in the time that is different from the unhairing limit and cleans these steps of this coating.
Should be noted that the resist film that uses as in etching partially step (F), preferably have resist, be convenient to etching strip operation afterwards thus at the carrying material of its place's bonding.
After removing plating burr 26, the resist film 15 on the lower face side is removed.Install on element mounting portion 16 after the semiconductor element 18, the electrical connection between semiconductor element 18 and the lead-in wire bonding part 17 is realized that by bonding wire 20 upper end of lead frame material 10 is by resin-encapsulate (Fig. 7 H).Then, shown in Figure 71, carry out the etching partially of anti-face side of lead frame material 10.In the case, because outside anti-face side and the element mounting portion 16 that connects end 22 is provided with priming coat 34 and gold plate 35, produced plating burr 26, therefore carried out the above-mentioned steps of unhairing limit and this coating of cleaning, to remove all formed plating burr 26.
Next, shown in Fig. 7 J, each semiconductor device 28 is cut and is separated, to obtain single semiconductor device.
Next, with reference to figure 6A to 6C, will the semiconductor device of using according to the manufacture method of the semiconductor device of inventing second embodiment 40,42 and 45 be described.Should be noted that in the manufacture method that is described below that the above-mentioned steps that the unhairing limit is provided and cleans this coating is handled the plating burr 26 that form so that remove by etching partially after each etches partially processing.
Fig. 6 A shows the semiconductor device 40 that has wherein omitted element mounting portion (die pad), around semiconductor element 18 periphery gaps is set, and with the arranged in form conductor terminal 29 of grid array.The upside of these conductor terminals 29 forms lead-in wire bonding part 17, and its downside forms the outside end 22 that connects.Surface in lead-in wire bonding part 17 forms priming coat 34 and gold plate 35 (referring to Fig. 1) respectively with outside the connection on the end 22.Electroplate burr 26 although around the periphery of gold plate 35, form, in the step of unhairing limit and this coating of cleaning, remove this plating burr 26.
Should be noted that in the bottom of semiconductor element 18 also can provide pipe core welding disc 18a, as by shown in the double dot dash line among Fig. 6 A.This pipe core welding disc 18a can be etched partially, and as describing before, maybe can be adhered to the bottom of semiconductor element 18.
Next, Fig. 6 B shows the semiconductor device that element mounting portion wherein is omitted, and instead, with the form of grid array a plurality of conductor terminals 29 is set directly below semiconductor element 18.Directly be arranged in semiconductor element 18 following conductor terminals 29 and do not form conducting channel, but assist heat dissipation (terminal that is used for heat dissipation) from semiconductor element 18.Should be noted that the periphery at semiconductor element 18 forms lead-in wire bonding part 17 respectively on the upper surface of the conductor terminal 29 that is provided with, and on its lower surface, form the outside end 22 that connects.
Each plating mask 13 and 14 that is made of priming coat 34 and gold plate 35 is set at respectively on the upper and lower surface of each conductor terminal 29, and formed plating burr are removed in etching partially processing.
Semiconductor device 45 shown in Fig. 6 C is flip-chip (FC) N-type semiconductor N devices, wherein with the electrode pad part 44 of the arranged in form semiconductor element 43 of grid array, semiconductor element 43 is furnished with prone electrode pad part 44, and the upside at conductor terminal 29 is provided with the inner end that connects respectively, and should connect the electrode pad part 44 that the end is directly connected to semiconductor element 43 in inside.As a result, can make the semiconductor device of further compactness.
In the case, priming coat 34 and gold plate 35 are set also on the upper and lower surface of each conductor terminal 29, and formed plating burr are removed in etching partially processing.
Although gold plate is used as an example of precious metal electroplating layer, also can use other metals (for example, Ag, Pd, Pt etc.) in the present invention, liquid does not corrode or is difficult to and is corroded as long as this metal is not etched usually, and is difficult to stand surface oxidation.
