1. a micro force sensor; 2. a thin film material layer; 3. a metal wire.
Detailed Description
The technical solutions for achieving the objects of the present invention are further illustrated by the following specific examples, and it should be noted that the technical solutions claimed in the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following examples.
Example 1
As a most basic embodiment of the invention, the invention discloses a method for detecting the reliability of a wire bonding process, which comprises the following steps:
step one, as shown in fig. 1, a micro force sensor 1 for measuring pressure and tension between a metal wire 3 and a bonded surface is taken, two stepped thin film material layers 2 are deposited on the working surface of the micro force sensor 1, wherein one thin film material layer 2 is the same as pad materials on a chip, and the other thin film material layer is the same as lead frames;
step two, as shown in fig. 1, a lead bonding process to be detected is adopted, a metal wire 3 is used as a lead to bond two layers of thin film material layers 2 on the working surface of the micro force sensor 1, and pressure and/or tension data parameters generated in the process of the lead bonding process are recorded;
and step three, respectively applying continuous pressure and/or tension to the wire bonding points on the two film material layers 2 for testing, recording pressure and/or tension change parameter data of the wire bonding points detected by the sensor, and analyzing and evaluating according to the parameter data.
Example 2
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a method for detecting reliability of a wire bonding process is disclosed, comprising the steps of:
(1) as shown in fig. 1, a miniature force sensor 1 capable of measuring tension and pressure is taken; the pressure means that when a lead bonding process is carried out, under the condition of certain ultrasonic energy, certain pressure needs to be applied to the bonding metal wire 3 and the bonded surface to promote the bonding process to be faster and more reliable, and the pressure is one of important parameters of the lead bonding process; the tensile force is the tensile force which can be borne between the bonding metal wire 3 and the bonded surface and is used for carrying out quantitative evaluation on the bonding reliability which needs to be evaluated after the wire bonding process is finished.
The Micro force sensor 1 can be understood as a force sensor based on a Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS). The size of the force sensor is equivalent to the size of a common chip or larger than the size of the chip by 100%, and the invention mainly obtains the simulation of the working condition of the actual chip by depositing steps on the chip, so the force sensor can be larger than the actual chip. Examples of the type of selection are: GZP2009 piezoresistance pressure sensitive chip.
(2) As shown in fig. 1, two kinds of thin film materials are respectively deposited on the working surface of the micro force sensor 1, and a first step-like structure and a second step-like structure are formed, and the two kinds of thin film materials respectively correspond to and are consistent with the materials of a first bonding point and a second bonding point of a chip; the deposition can be carried out by firstly depositing a second step layer film material on the working surface of the micro force sensor 1, then depositing a first step layer film material on the second step layer film material, and then processing by a patterning process to form a step shape and a material similar to a chip. Or the first step layer material can be directly deposited on the second step layer film or deposited on the surface of the force sensor; the first step layer generally has a smaller area than the second step layer because the first step layer simulates the chip and the second step layer simulates the lead frame, and the material of the first step layer is the same as the material of the pad on the chip, and is generally aluminum; the second step layer material is the same as the material of the lead frame, typically copper.
Furthermore, an adhesion layer can be added between the two layers of film materials, and the adhesion between the two layers of film materials can be avoided because the adhesion between the two layers of film materials is better.
(3) Wire bonding is carried out on the first step structure and the second step structure, and a sensor records and outputs key force parameters of a technological process; and carrying out nondestructive or destructive force test on bonding points on the first step structure and the second step structure respectively, and evaluating the bonding quality and the process stability according to the critical force detected by the force sensor. There are two test methods for evaluating the process reliability of wire bonding: destructive and non-destructive testing. The method has the advantages that the maximum value which can be borne by a bonding process can be accurately known, and the defect is that the bonding structure needs to be damaged; in addition, if an upper limit of bearing capacity is set, the bonding point does not fail when the bonding force can be borne, the bonding process is judged to be qualified, and the method has the advantage that the reliability of the bonding structure can be judged without damaging the bonding structure.
The technological process and reliability simulation test stated in the method not only comprises materials, structures, connection modes (lead bonding) and the like, but also can simulate the technological process to the maximum extent, monitor the force parameters in the process and evaluate the reliability of the technological process, the force monitoring in the bonding process can be compressive stress, tensile stress and action time thereof, and the tensile force or pressure applied in the reliability test of a bonding point, if the force application direction forms a certain angle with the bonding surface, two component forces are respectively generated in the direction vertical to and parallel to the bonding surface, namely vertical tensile force and horizontal shearing force. When the force application direction is vertical to the bonding surface, only tension exists; when the force application direction is parallel to the bonding surface, only shear forces are present. The reliability of the wire bonding process is evaluated by adopting the direction force, and the direction force can be defined according to the application scene of the chip.
Preferably, the micro force sensor 1 may be of the piezoelectric, piezoresistive, strain gauge, or other principles; according to the reality of a simulation object, the two film materials can be simple substances, alloys or compounds of aluminum, copper, tungsten, titanium and gold; the preparation method of the two film materials can be deposition processes such as sputtering, evaporation, electroplating and the like; finally, the method for evaluating the process reliability of the lead bonding comprises early warning pushing, trend analysis, process drift prevention and the like, a data analysis auxiliary system can be established based on the process parameter monitoring and reliability testing data, and if parameter drift or reliability abnormity occurs, the data analysis auxiliary system can be judged and give an alarm through system software; if the data has unidirectional deviation and still is in a qualified range, early warning can be sent out; the data analysis processing method can be established based on test data, and belongs to common big data processing application technologies.
