One Albatra metal bonding wire and its preparation method and application
Technical field
The invention belongs to semiconductor sealing material technical fields, and in particular to Albatra metal bonding wire and preparation method thereof
And application.
Background technique
In field of semiconductor package, wire bonding is a critically important procedure, it be by chip and external pin into
The important technology of row connection.It is at present there are three types of the IC chip encapsulation common bonding lines of factory, i.e., golden with the development of encapsulation technology
Line, bare copper wire and plating palladium copper wire.Wherein, gold thread is soft, and electric conductivity is excellent, therefore gold thread is former large-scale integrated
Circuit chip most common bonding line, but gold is rare metal, and price of gold recent years soars all the way in addition, increases enterprise
Production cost.Therefore the higher metal wire substitution gold thread of cost performance is selected to become the task of top priority of each encapsulation factory at present.
Metallic copper is exactly such a alternative metal, copper relative to gold, its advantage is that: electric conductivity is better than gold, this decision
Its power loss is smaller, in order to pass through bigger electric current with filament;The good heat conductivity of copper.The thermal conductance of copper is golden
1.3 times of thermal conductance are conducive to the heat transmitting of contact surface when bonding, are better able to be bonded and work in high ambient conditions, copper
Tensile strength is high, is easy the arc radian of protection lead.But using fine copper line bonding, there is also inevitable disadvantages: copper is hard
Degree is high, it is not easy to it deforms, thus it is relatively large for the stress of pad, make lead be not easy to collapse change when entire plastic packaging is molded
Shape leads to short-circuit failure, the surface of chip is also easily destroyed in bonding process.But copper is easy to oxidize, chemical stability is than gold
Difference, during forming free air ball, the oxidation of copper will affect the size and shape of free air ball, control bad protection
The flow and ratio of gas, free air ball are difficult to control, so as to cause occurring underproof first weldering in bonding process
Point.
Plating palladium copper wire be in order to improve the inoxidizability of copper and research and develop a kind of surface plating palladium fine copper bonding wire, although plating
It is oxidizable when palladium copper wire solves the problems, such as copper bonding wire balling-up to a certain extent, but there are still the higher defect of hardness,
Bonding is not able to satisfy the application of high-end encapsulation still when using.The good invention of woods of one promise Electron Material Co., Ltd of Shandong is a kind of soft
The preparation method of property copper wire describes in disclosed Chinese patent CN101626006A: a kind of flexible bonding copper wire, by following
Group is grouped as: Ce0.001%~0.005%, Pd 0.003%~0.005%, Pt 0.005%~0.009%, surplus Cu,
By taking multi-element doping alloy, the hardness of copper, especially balling-up hardness are reduced, the impact force to chip and destruction, drop are reduced
Low bonding energy, prevents the generation of interfacial oxide and crackle, keeps the stabilization of its binding performance, to improve associativity
Energy, electric conductivity and inoxidizability.But the flexible bonding copper wire of the method for invention preparation is answered on a large scale due to needing to add Pt
Used time cost is higher, and there are still certain oxidative phenomenas when bonding;In fact, adulterating some suitable microelements in fine copper
It can be further improved the oxidation resistance of copper wire, but this way can be such that the hardness of copper wire rises again, in order to balance this lance
Shield, related researcher are seeking always a kind of not only low cost, hardness but also the copper alloy bonding wire for being suitble to high-end encapsulation, simultaneously also
Develop matched bonding method.
