Description

Ball bonding gold dispersion copper wire
Technical field
The present invention is to be related to a kind of ball bonding golden (Au) dispersion copper wire, and it is suitable for the IC cores used in semiconductor device The connection of the substrates such as plate electrode and outside lead;Even more particularly to 15 μm of superfine wires below of one kind, also can be obtained steady Surely the coating copper wire of soldered ball is melted.
Background technology
In general, engaged with the first of electrode for coating copper closing line, the mode engaged using referred to as soldered ball, and needle Coating copper closing line is engaged with second of the wiring on semiconductor circuit wiring substrate, the side engaged using referred to as wedge type Formula.In first engagement, by the mode for the balling (electronic frame off, EFO) that discharges, to coating copper closing line Front end bestow electric arc heated, after so that the front end is melted, so that fusant is solidified using surface tension, and before closing line End, which is formed, is known as soldered ball (FAB;Free air ball) positive sphere.Then, on one side that this is first in the range of 150-300 DEG C Phase soldered ball and the heated by electrodes, apply ultrasonic on one side, to be crimped, the aluminium pad (referring to Fig.1) that is engaged on chip.
Herein, it is formed in the first engagement of melting soldered ball, in order to inhibit the oxidation of copper, usually uses following soldered ball sides Formula:The gas based on nitrogen or the nitrogen containing 5% hydrogen are blown for closing line on one side, the front end of closing line is made to carry out fire on one side Flower electric discharge forms melting soldered ball.Which or be formed by this way melting soldered ball be known as FAB.
Palladium (Pd) coating copper wire that the IC chip electrode of semiconductor device was connect with outside lead in the past is opened in fact Japanese In clear 60-160554 bulletins (aftermentioned patent document 1), i.e., it has been proposed that a kind of semiconductor, which is used, engages filament, it is characterized in that " The coating of Pd or Pd alloys is directly arranged in the core wire periphery of Cu Cu alloys across middle layer ".Later, practical Palladium (Pd) coating copper wire, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2004-014884 bulletins (aftermentioned patent document 2), it is thus proposed that a kind of engagement Line is the closing line for the coating for having core material and being formed on core material, it is characterized in that " core material is hard with dimensional microstructure formula The material spent other than 80Hv gold below is constituted, and the coating be by fusing point be higher than core material 300 DEG C of fusing point or more and Inoxidizability is constituted better than the metal of copper ", in addition, the SEI Technical Review magazines the 160th of in March, 2002 distribution In number, introduce " exploitation of closing line ".Also there is the patent application case (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication at the interface for parsing the core material and coating 2010-272884 bulletins etc.).
However, palladium (Pd) coating copper wire of the exposed this free from admixture of palladium (Pd), because of bracing wire mold (wire drawing Dies abrasion) are serious, and the unwinding of wire rod is also bad, therefore are not the materials for being suitble to mass production.In addition, even if volume production Palladium (Pd) coating copper wire of free from admixture has the shortcomings that melting soldered ball is unstable if being formed continuously FAB.That is, the palladium of free from admixture (Pd) coating copper wire has the shortcomings that being easy to happen soldered ball easily becomes long spear problem when forming melting soldered ball.
Therefore, a kind of invention of closing line is proposed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2005-167020 bulletins (aftermentioned patent document 3), It is characterized in that:So that the fusing point of golden (Au) most surface is less than palladium (Pd) coating, and makes the thickness of golden (Au) coating than palladium (Pd) Coating is thin, and is 0.002 times or less (with the claim 8 of bulletin) of line footpath.Then, general FAB is to use following sides Formula:Engagement line front end and the front end arc torch (arc torch) are formed by angle, be within 60 degree of wire rod long side direction, And arc discharge is formed between the arc torch and wire rod front end, to form soldered ball portion, then the soldered ball portion is connected on electrode. If using the above-mentioned coating wire rod of gold (Au) most surface, golden (Au) is reached with the shortest distance by the tip of arc discharge, is protected Demonstrate,prove the dimensionally stable of FAB (with reference to Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2011-146754 bulletins).
In this way, being coated with palladium (Pd) the coating copper wire of golden (Au), have " with the wetability of FAB is good, melting soldered ball is easy Attach to the wire rod that root does not melt " tendency.Therefore, develop thereafter " continuous bracing wire to final film thickness reach 1-9nm be Gold (Au) coating wire rod (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2012-036490 bulletins (aftermentioned patent document 4)) only ".If however, being drawn with diamond Line mould carries out continuous bracing wire to closing line, then because the abrasion of mold cause line footpath to increase so that gold (Au) quilt of nano-scale Coating becomes uneven.Therefore, if being intended to the film thickness monitoring by gold (Au) coating of most surface in several nanometers of (nm) units, most It is difficult to maintain and manage mold eventually, and the formality of more mold exchange etc. is complicated.
On the other hand, someone develops a kind of technology of the gold of most surface (Au) film, and utilization " makes the palladium of middle layer invade Enter golden thin layer, and so that fine metallographic and palladium phase 3 is tieed up and grow up " Stranski-Krastanov growth (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2013- No. 131654 bulletins (aftermentioned patent document 5)).It is close using the atomic radius of Au and the atomic radius of Pd, and make palladium (Pd) film Grown up with chevron from golden (Au) film.In the technology, golden (Au) film and the thickness relationship of palladium (Pd) layer are particularly important.
If however, because mold abrasion cause golden (Au) film uneven, which can not be according to thickness Relationship causes palladium (Pd) film not grown up, or golden (Au) film can diffuse in palladium (Pd) layer.In addition, finally with diamond In the case of bracing wire mould is handled, the trace of the mold is transferred to wire rod, and remains striated groove, so at this there are Thicker gold (Au) coating.Therefore, if still there are melting soldered ball is formed with FAB, soldered ball is melted along striated groove Gold (Au) coating not melted climb, and then attach to wire rod, cause to melt the unstable problem of soldered ball.

The better embodiment of the present invention is as described below.
The copper alloy preferably contains 3 mass ppm or more, 500 mass ppm phosphorus below (P).Preferably, the copper alloy, Preferably contain 50 mass ppm or more, 500 mass ppm golden (Au) below.Preferably, the copper alloy preferably contains 0.2 matter Measure the metallic element other than 100 mass ppm phosphorus below (P) of ppm or more and golden (Au).Preferably, the copper alloy, preferably contains There are 3 mass ppm or more, 500 mass ppm phosphorus below (P), 50 mass ppm or more, 500 mass ppm golden (Au) below, 0.2 matter 100 mass ppm of ppm or more other metallic elements below are measured, and the total amount of these elements is less than 1,000ppm.Preferably, should Theoretical film thickness preferably 2 nanometers (nm) below.
In the present invention, foregoing " theoretical film thickness ", because the film thickness of gold (Au) epidermis of most surface can not be practical It measures and the concept stretched of spreading out.That is, acquiring golden (Au) institute among closing line entirety by gravimetry and chemical analysis The ratio accounted for.Then, the value acquired from this, it is assumed that the section of closing line is positive round, and assumes that the most surface of its line footpath is golden (Au) uniformly coating, to calculate film thickness.It is concave-convex in having on the surface of actual closing line due to the grade of nano-scale, therefore Atomic radius of the film thickness value of the theory likely to be less than golden (Au).
In addition, " chemical analysis " is following analysis methods:Dissolving golden (Au) dispersion copper wire is whole, then passes through high-frequency induction The micro- spy instrument (EPMA) of coupled plasma (ICP) ICP Atomic Emission Spectrophotometer method-electronics acquires gold (Au) concentration in the solution.In addition, most The gold (Au) " coating " on surface and the statement of " layer " in " epidermis " are convenient to indicate that golden (Au) particulate is deposited with " layer " Range.
In addition, by micro- spy instrument (EPMA) surface analysis of electronics, the distribution by gold (Au) particulate is with countless dotted Distribution is used as feature, be because gold (Au) particulate if greatly to some degree if can with visual confirmation, but also with too small and Can not be with visual confirmation the case where.In addition it can be seen that, among micro- spy instrument (EPMA) surface analysis of electronics, size is greatly to some journey Gold (Au) particulate of degree will not be examined in the distribution of the obtained Pd of same analysis in the position of gold (Au) particulate Measure Pd (with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).
The ball bonding of the present invention is disperseed with golden (Au) in copper wire, is existed with the obtained theoretical film thickness of the chemical analysis of the gold (Au) 10 nanometers (nm) more than 0.1 nanometer (nm) below.Make the upper limit at 10 nanometers (nm) hereinafter, being because the gold (Au) of most surface is coating The film thickness of layer not by so-called with " layer " of thickness in the form of exist, but with " gold (Au) particulate dotted is distributed in countless On palladium (Pd) coating " it is used as constitutive requirements.Because the electric conductivity of golden (Au) is better than palladium (Pd), therefore spark discharge reaches the gold (Au) particulate can make FAB stablize.In addition, be the state of golden (Au) particulate by the modification of gold (Au) layer that will be through extension, The chemism of golden (Au) particulate can also stablized.
The film thickness of golden (Au) coating if more than 10 nanometers (nm), if because of film thickness inhomogeneities, lead to spark discharge It is uneven to reach place, and then keeps FAB unstable.If carrying out the heat of palladium (Pd) film by being heat-treated with homogeneous etc. and growing up, as a result Cause the film thickness of golden (Au) coating more uneven.Make lower limit more than 0.1 nanometer (nm), is to make golden (Au) particulate It dotted is distributed on palladium (Pd) coating with countless.If being less than lower limit, golden (Au) particulate can not be with countless spot distributions.
If with golden (Au) particulate not with spot distribution in the region on palladium (Pd) coating, spark discharge reaches Place is uneven, causes FAB unstable.Herein, golden (Au) particulate refers to even if as mold with " countless dotted presence " On the striated groove of trace, it is also dispersed with the state of golden (Au) particulate.It is coating by the final heat treatment of proper temperature In most surface the atomic plane gold (Au) formula assemble, and form particulate.If being higher than the proper temperature, golden (Au) atom point It dissipates in palladium (Pd) coating, and generates so-called diffusion phenomena, golden (Au) particulate is caused to disappear.
Based on following reason, keep theoretical film thickness preferable below at 2 nanometers (nm).
In general, the film thickness of golden if (Au) is thickeied to hundreds of nanometers, and can be with Ou Jie spectroscopy apparatus in depth The analysis in direction is surveyed, then so-called phenomenon of crawling can be observed, the phenomenon of crawling, and is that melting soldered ball infiltration is located at melting Gold (Au) film of the wire surface of soldered ball root, and because of the surface tension of melting soldered ball, cause it in the wire rod table not melted It climbs in face.On the other hand, if golden (Au) film thickness measured value at 50 nanometers (nm) hereinafter, if become the region of theoretical film thickness, Without observing such phenomenon of crawling.
However, even if in 50 nanometers of (nm) ranges below, as long as the region that the theoretical film thickness of golden (Au) is thicker, gold (Au) particulate can be disappeared with countless dotted existing phenomenons because of final Tempering and Quenching, and be difficult to control golden (Au) Film thickness.Therefore, in order in the case where carrying out bracing wire for a long time with 1 final diamond bracing wire mould, also can steadily make golden (Au) micro- Particle will get over Bao Yuehao with countless dotted presence, the film thickness of golden (Au).Therefore, theoretical film thickness 2 nanometers (nm) below.
In addition, the ball bonding of the present invention is disperseed with golden (Au) in copper wire, the noble metal that golden (Au) and palladium (Pd) are constituted is coating Layer, it is however generally that at 1 micron (μm) hereinafter, its 10-25 μm of line footpath relative to closing line, the thickness that can almost ignore. Therefore, it even if forming melting soldered ball by FAB, will not also be influenced by the film thickness of coating.However, because there are the antioxygens Palladium (Pd) coating for the property changed, therefore the copper wire of core material will not be aoxidized because of the oxygen in air.Therefore, with existing copper (Cu) The core material composition that is constituted of copper alloy of the purity more than 99.9 mass % it is identical, ball bonding of the invention disperses copper with golden (Au) Line, melting soldered ball becomes positive spherical, and can be bonded to aluminium pad.
In addition, even if in bracing wire to final line footpath and then coating palladium (Pd) and the lining material of the noble metal of golden (Au), Also it can not reach the purpose of the present invention.This is because final coating can not fill irregular lengthwise open groove, and can not Form the epidermis of the gold (Au) of the theoretical film thickness of the present invention.The present invention very thin epidermis formation, though also with core material and by The combination variety for covering material is related, but in general, the diameter of wire rod must 1/10 or more undergauge in bracing wire step.
In addition, because the epidermis for forming " gold (Au) particulate of the invention is with countless dotted existing aspects " is very thin, Therefore epidermis once being formed, then epidermis will not be destroyed because of general pull wire speed and diameter reducing rate.Therefore, if appropriate adjust The temperature and time of whole Tempering and Quenching can then be easily formed gold (Au) particulate of set theoretic throat with countless dotted presence Aspect.
The copper alloy of core material, if including expected addition element, for the copper (Cu) of 99.9 mass % of general purity or more The copper alloy constituted.In the case of the copper alloy that the copper (Cu) of 99.9 mass % of purity or more is constituted, phosphorus (P) or gold are selected (Au) in the case of, the alloy of the prior art is can refer to, suitably determines other remaining metal components.Copper alloy base material it is pure Degree, the copper alloy that preferably copper (Cu) of 99.99 mass % of purity or more is constituted, particularly good is 99.999 mass % of purity or more The copper alloy that is constituted of copper (Cu).Then, also can be according to required semiconductor species and purposes, and determine to be properly added element Type, also can be according to as thermal property, the engineering properties needed for closing line, the appropriate combination and addition for determining addition element Amount.
If stable FAB can be formed there are phosphorus (P) in the copper (Cu) of core material, this known (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2010-225722 bulletins and International Publication WO2011/129256 bulletins).Therefore, the case where which includes phosphorus (P) In, preferably contain 3 mass ppm or more, 500 mass ppm or less.
If there is golden (Au) in the copper (Cu) of core material, with it is countless it is dotted there are the gold of most surface (Au) particulate be easy it is mixed Enter to melt the inside of soldered ball, gold (Au) particulate of most surface is preferentially scattered in compared to being scattered in palladium (Pd) coating In the copper (Cu) of core material.As a result, there is golden (Au) among the copper (Cu) of core material, compared to not existing, there is the gold for interfering AuCu Compound is formed in the effect opposite in this way with the joint interface of aluminium pad between category.On the other hand, because golden (Au) is high-valency metal, Therefore it can not largely add.Therefore, preferably include 50 mass ppm or more, 500 mass in the case which includes golden (Au) Ppm or less.
The very thin superficial layer and coating of wire surface in the present invention all disappear in the FAB engagements of the first engagement, separately Outside, it in the ultrasonic engagement of the second engagement, also disappears in joint.
Ball bonding according to the present invention disperses copper wire with golden (Au), because between arc torch and the front end of closing line, with nothing Gold (Au) particulate of the dotted most surface for being present in closing line of number forms such as general arc discharge of lightning rod, therefore is connect first Arc discharge when conjunction is stablized.In addition, since the most surface is very thin, therefore will not there is the melting soldered ball to be formed infiltration root not melt The wire rod that melts and the problem of cause soldered ball to deviate.As a result, compared to current size, it can be by ball bonding golden (Au) dispersion copper wire more Refinement macro.
In addition, the ball bonding of the present invention golden (Au) dispersion copper wire, which can reduce aluminium, pads area, and the smaller soldered ball of diameter can Disperse copper wire to configure golden (Au) to high-density.In addition, gold (Au) according to the present invention disperses copper wire, palladium (Pd) coating and gold (Au) epidermis can block the oxygen invaded from wire surface, therefore the effect that the copper alloy that core material can be obtained will not aoxidize.The present invention Ball bonding disperse copper wire with golden (Au) because coating is very thin, therefore unrelated with the material of lining material, stable positive ball can be obtained Shape soldered ball can also form circuit etc. well.
Further, ball bonding of the invention disperses copper wire with golden (Au), because golden (Au) particulate is with countless dotted presence Wire rod most surface, therefore even if wire rod is multilaminate coiled each other, wire rod will not also stick each other.As a result, the unwinding of wire rod becomes Well.As additional effect, wire surface improves relative to the flatness of capillary.Ball bonding according to the present invention is disperseed with golden (Au) Gold (Au) particulate of copper wire, wire rod most surface will not be removed from the coating of palladium (Pd).Therefore, even if repeating to engage repeatedly, The oxide of copper (Cu) will not also be attached to capillary, therefore will not pollute capillary.
