Mittels Ultraschallenergie wird hierbei eine dauerhafte Verbindung zwischen einem Draht aus AI, der einen Durchmesser von typischerweise einigen 100 μm aufweist, und der Kontaktfläche, die am Chip aus AI und am Leistungsmodul aus Cu besteht, über eine intermetallische Verbindung realisiert.The most common technology for contacting power semiconductor chips with each other and with conductor tracks is thick wire bonding. Using ultrasound energy, a permanent connection between a wire made of Al, which typically has a diameter of a few 100 μm, and the contact area, which consists of Al on the chip and Cu on the power module, is realized via an intermetallic connection.
Als Alternativen zum Bonden gibt es weitere Verfahren wie das ThinPak. Hierbei wird die Chipoberfläche über ein Lot kontaktiert, das über Löcher einer Keramikplatte eingebracht wird.There are other methods such as ThinPak as alternatives to bonding.

This also enables improved heat dissipation, since the power semiconductors can be soldered to the top and bottom of DCB substrates (DCB stands for Direct Copper Bonding).
Es gibt auch eine großflächige Kontaktierung über aufgedampfte Cu-Leitungen, wobei die Isolierung der Leiterbahnen mittels aus der Dampfphase abgeschiedenem (CVD- Verfahren) Isolator erfolgt (Power Module Overlay Structure) Schließlich ist die Kontaktierung mittels einer strukturierten Folie über einen Klebe- bzw.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren zum Kontaktieren einer oder mehrerer elektrischer Kontaktflächen eines auf einem Substrat befindlichen Bauelements bereitzustellen, das für Leistungselektronik geeignet ist und bei dem auch bei hoch bauenden Leistungsbauelementen die Möglichkeit einer Kontaktierung mit einer auf dem Substrat befindlichen Leiterbahn besteht.The object of the invention is to provide a method for contacting one or more electrical contact surfaces of a component located on a substrate, which is suitable for power electronics and in which there is the possibility of contacting a conductor track located on the substrate even in the case of high-power components.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in den unabhängigen Ansprüchen angegebenen Erfindungen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This object is achieved by the inventions specified in the independent claims. Advantageous refinements result from the subclaims.
Dementsprechend wird in einem Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Vorrichtung mit einem auf einem Substrat angeordneten Bauelement, wodurch Substrat und Bauelement eine Oberflächenkontur bilden und wobei das Bauelement eine elektrische Kontaktfläche aufweist, eine Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material auf dem Substrat und dem Bauelement so aufgebracht, dass die Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material der aus Substrat und Bauelement gebildeten Oberflächenkontur folgt, d.h. dass die Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material entsprechend der aus Substrat und Bauelement gebildeten Oberflächenkontur auf der Oberflächenkontur verläuft. Werden dagegen gemäß dem Stand der Technik Logikchips in einem Polymer eingebettet, so folgt nur die Unterseite der Polymerschicht der Oberflächenkontur, nicht aber die Polymerschicht selbst.Accordingly, in a method for producing a device with a component arranged on a substrate, whereby the substrate and component form a surface contour and wherein the component has an electrical contact surface, a layer of electrically insulating material on the substrate and the The component is applied such that the layer of electrically insulating material follows the surface contour formed from the substrate and the component, that is to say that the layer of electrically insulating material runs on the surface contour in accordance with the surface contour formed from the substrate and the component. If, on the other hand, logic chips are embedded in a polymer according to the prior art, only the underside of the polymer layer follows the surface contour, but not the polymer layer itself.
Dadurch dass die Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material der aus Substrat und Bauelement gebildeten Oberflächenkontur folgt, ergeben sich, insbesondere wenn ein Leistungsbauelement als Bauelement verwendet wird, gleich zwei Vorteile. Zum einen ist eine noch ausreichende Dicke der Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material über den dem Substrat abgewandten Kanten des Bauelementes gewährleistet, so dass ein Durchschlag bei hohen Spannungen bzw. Feldstärken verhindert wird. Zum anderen ist die Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material neben dem in der Regel sehr hohenBecause the layer of electrically insulating material follows the surface contour formed from the substrate and the component, there are two advantages, in particular if a power component is used as the component. On the one hand, a sufficient thickness of the layer of electrically insulating material is guaranteed over the edges of the component facing away from the substrate, so that breakdown at high voltages or field strengths is prevented. On the other hand, the layer of electrically insulating material is usually very high in addition to the
Leistungsbauelement auf dem Substrat nicht so dick, dass ein Freilegen und Kontaktieren von Kontaktflächen auf Leiterbahnen des Substrats problematisch wäre.Power component on the substrate is not so thick that an exposure and contacting of contact areas on conductor tracks of the substrate would be problematic.
Die elektrische Kontaktfläche des Bauelements bleibt beim Aufbringen der Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material frei und/oder wird nach dem Aufbringen der Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material freigelegt, insbesondere durch Ö fnen eines Fensters .The electrical contact surface of the component remains free when the layer of electrically insulating material is applied and / or is exposed after the layer of electrically insulating material has been applied, in particular by opening a window.
Weiterhin wird eine Schicht aus elektrisch leitendem Material auf der Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material und der elektrischen Kontaktfläche des Bauelements aufgebracht. Die Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material ist also eine Trägerschicht für die Schicht aus elektrisch leitendem Material . Selbstverständlich liegt es auch im Rahmen der Erfindung bei einem Substrat, auf dem mehrere Bauelemente mit Kontaktflächen angeordnet sind, und/oder bei Bauelementen mit mehreren Kontaktflächen entsprechend vorzugehen.Furthermore, a layer of electrically conductive material is applied to the layer of electrically insulating material and the electrical contact surface of the component. The layer of electrically insulating material is therefore a carrier layer for the layer of electrically conductive material. Of course, it is also within the scope of the invention for a substrate on which a plurality of components with contact surfaces are arranged, and / or for components with a plurality of contact surfaces.
Die Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material ist insbesondere keine Folie.The layer of electrically insulating material is in particular not a film.

Vorzugsweise sind die Dicken in etwa gleich, weichen also um weniger als 5% oder sogar weniger als 1% voneinander ab. Die Prozentangaben beziehen sich insbesondere auf die Dicke der Schicht über dem Bauelement in deren geradlinig verlaufenden Bereich, die dementsprechend die 100% angibt. Auf den geradlinig verlaufenden Bereich wird abgestellt, da die Schicht in Innenkanten von Substrat und Bauelement in der Regel dicker, über den dem Substrat abgewandten Kanten des Bauelements in der Regel dünner verläuft .The thickness of the layer of electrical, insulating material above the substrate in its rectilinear region deviates by less than 50% from its thickness above the component in its rectilinear region, in particular by less than 20%. The thicknesses are preferably approximately the same, that is to say deviate from one another by less than 5% or even less than 1%. The percentages relate in particular to the thickness of the layer above the component in its rectilinear area, which accordingly indicates 100%. The rectilinear area is used because the layer in the inner edges of the substrate and the component is generally thicker, and generally thinner over the edges of the component facing away from the substrate.
Zur Kontaktierung des Bauelements mit dem Substrat weist das Substrat vorzugsweise eine elektrische Kontaktfläche auf, die beim Aufbringen der Schicht aus elektrisch leitendem Material frei bleibt oder nach dem Aufbringen der Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material freigelegt wird und auf die die Schicht aus elektrisch leitendem Material ebenfalls aufgebracht wird. So wird die Kontaktfläche des Bauelements über die Schicht aus elektrisch leitendem Material mit der Kontaktfläche des Substrats verbunden.For contacting the component with the substrate, the substrate preferably has an electrical contact surface which remains free when the layer of electrically conductive material is applied or is exposed after the layer of electrically insulating material is applied and to which the layer of electrically conductive material is likewise applied becomes.

Die Kontaktfläche des Bauelements und die Kontaktfläche des Substrats sind vorzugsweise in etwa gleich groß, um einen durchgängigen Stromfluss zu gewährleisten. Die elektrische Kontaktfläche des Bauelements kann beim Aufbringen der Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material freigelassen und/oder später freigelegt werden. Das vollständige oder, partielle Freilassen schon beim Aufbringen lässt sich besonders vorteilhaft verwirklichen, wenn die Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material mit Öffnungen' aufgebracht wird. Dann lässt sich nämlich von vornherein eine Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material mit einer oder mehreren entsprechenden Öffnungen bzw. Fenstern verwenden, die sich beispielsweise zuvor durch kostengünstiges Ausstanzen oder Ausschneiden schaffen lassen.The contact area of the component and the contact area of the substrate are preferably approximately the same size in order to ensure a continuous current flow. The electrical contact surface of the component can be left free when the layer of electrically insulating material is applied and / or later exposed. The complete or partial release already during application can be realized particularly advantageously if the layer of electrically insulating material with openings is applied.

Die Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material ist dabei so gestaltet, dass ein Höhenunterschied von bis zu 10.00 μm überwunden werden kann. Der Höhenunterschied ist unter anderem durch die Topologie des Substrats und durch die auf dem Substrat angeordneten Halbleiterchips verursacht.Power semiconductor chips are fitted, on each of which there is or are one or more contact surfaces to be contacted, and the layer of electrically insulating material is applied to this surface under vacuum, so that the layer of electrically ■ insulating material. Surface including each semiconductor chip and each contact area closely covered and adheres to this surface including each semiconductor chip. The layer of electrically insulating material is designed so that a height difference of up to 10.00 μm can be overcome. The height difference is caused, among other things, by the topology of the substrate and by the semiconductor chips arranged on the substrate.
Die Dicke der Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material kann 10 μm bis 500 μm betragen. Vorzugsweise wird bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren eine Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material mit einer Dicke von 25 bis 150 μm aufgebracht .The thickness of the layer of electrically insulating material can be 10 μm to 500 μm.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung wird das Aufbringen sooft ι wiederholt, bis eine bestimmte Dicke der Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material erreicht ist. Beispielsweise werden Teilschichten aus elektrisch isolierendem Material geringerer Dicke zu einer Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material höherer Dicke verarbeitet. Diese Teilschichten aus elektrisch isolierendem Material bestehen vorteilhaft aus einer Art Kunststoffmaterial. Denkbar ist dabei auch, dass die Teilschichten aus elektrisch isolierendem Material aus mehreren unterschiedlichen Kunststoffmaterialen bestehen. Es resultiert eine aus Teilschichten aufgebaute Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material.In a further embodiment, the application is repeated until a certain thickness of the layer of electrically insulating material is reached. For example, partial layers made of electrically insulating material of smaller thickness are processed to form a layer made of electrically insulating material of higher thickness. These partial layers made of electrically insulating material advantageously consist of a type of plastic material. It is also conceivable that the partial layers made of electrically insulating material consist of several different plastic materials. The result is a layer made of partial layers of electrically insulating material.

Das Öffnen der Fenster erfolgt dabei ohne eine Beschädigung eines eventuell unter der Schicht aus isolierendem Material liegenden Chipkontakts aus Aluminium, Gold oder Kupfer. In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung wird eine fotoempfindliche Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material verwendet und zum Freilegen der elektrischen Kontaktfläche des Bauelements ein Fenster durch einen fotolithographischen Prozess geöffnet. Der fotolithographische Prozess umfasst ein Belichten der fotoempfindlichen Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material und ein Entwickeln und damit Entfernen der belichteten oder nicht-belichteten Stellen der Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material.In a special embodiment, a window in the layer of electrically insulating material is opened by laser ablation to expose the electrical contact surface of the component. The wavelength of a laser used for this is between 0.1 μm and 11 μm. The power of the laser is between 1 W and 100 W. A CO 2 laser with a wavelength of 9.24 μm is preferably used. The windows are opened without damaging a chip contact made of aluminum, gold or copper, which may be under the layer of insulating material. In a further embodiment, a photosensitive layer made of electrically insulating material is used and a window is opened by a photolithographic process to expose the electrical contact surface of the component. The photolithographic process comprises exposing the photosensitive layer of electrically insulating material and developing and thus removing the exposed or unexposed areas of the layer of electrically insulating material.
Nach dem Öffnen der Fenster erfolgt gegebenenfalls ein Reinigungsschritt, bei dem Reste der Schicht aus elektrisch isolierendem Material entfernt werden. Der Reinigungsschritt erfolgt beispielsweise nasschemisch. Denkbar ist insbesondere auch ein Plasmareinigungsverfahren.After the windows have been opened, a cleaning step is optionally carried out in which remnants of the layer of electrically insulating material are removed. The cleaning step is carried out, for example, by wet chemistry. In particular, a plasma cleaning process is also conceivable.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung wird eine Schicht aus mehreren übereinander angeordneten Teilschichten aus unterschiedlichem, elektrisch leitendem Material verwendet. Es werden beispielsweise verschiedene Metalllagen übereinander aufgetragen. Die Anzahl der Teilschichten beziehungsweise Metalllagen beträgt insbesondere 2 bis 5. Durch die aus mehreren Teilschichten aufgebaute elektrisch leitende Schicht kann beispielsweise eine als Diffusionsbarriere fungierende Teilschicht integriert sein. Eine derartige Teilschicht besteht beispielsweise aus einer Titan-Wolfram-Legierung (TiW) . Vorteilhafterweise wird bei einem mehrschichtigen Aufbau direkt auf der zu kontaktierenden Oberfläche eine die Haftung vermittelnde oder verbessernde Teilschicht aufgebracht. Eine derartigeIn a further embodiment, a layer of several partial layers of different, electrically conductive material arranged one above the other is used. For example, different metal layers are applied one above the other. The number of sub-layers or metal layers is, in particular, 2 to 5. A sub-layer functioning as a diffusion barrier can be integrated, for example, by the electrically conductive layer composed of a plurality of sub-layers. Such a partial layer consists, for example, of a titanium-tungsten alloy (TiW). In the case of a multilayer structure, a partial layer that promotes or improves adhesion is advantageously applied directly to the surface to be contacted. Such
Teilschicht besteht beispielsweise aus Titan.Partial layer consists for example of titanium.
In einer besonderen Ausgestaltung wird nach dem flächigen Kontaktieren in und/oder auf der Schicht aus dem elektrisch leitenden Material mindestens eine Leiterbahn erzeugt. Die Leiterbahn kann auf der Schicht aufgetragen werden. Insbesondere wird zum Erzeugen der Leiterbahn ein Strukturieren der Schicht durchgeführt. Dies bedeutet, dass die Leiterbahn in dieser Schicht erzeugt wird. Die Leiterbahn dient beispielsweise der elektrischen Kontaktierung eines Halbleiterchips .In a special embodiment, at least one conductor track is produced from the electrically conductive material after the two-dimensional contacting and / or on the layer. The conductor track can be applied to the layer. In particular, a is used to generate the conductor track Structuring the layer performed. This means that the conductor track is created in this layer. The conductor track is used, for example, to make electrical contact with a semiconductor chip.
Das Strukturieren erfolgt üblicherweise in einem fotolithographischen Prozess. Dazu kann auf der elektrisch leitenden Schicht ein Fotolack aufgetragen, getrocknet und anschließend belichtet und entwickelt werden. Unter Umständen folgt ein Temperschritt, um den aufgetragenen Fotolack gegenüber nachfolgenden Behandlungsprozessen zu stabilisieren. Als Fotolack kommen herkömmliche positive und negative Resists (Beschichtungsmaterialien) in Frage. Das Auftragen des Fotolacks erfolgt beispielsweise durch einen Sprüh- oder Tauchprozess . Electro-DepositionThe structuring is usually carried out in a photolithographic process. For this purpose, a photoresist can be applied to the electrically conductive layer, dried and then exposed and developed. A tempering step may follow in order to stabilize the applied photoresist against subsequent treatment processes. Conventional positive and negative resists (coating materials) can be used as photoresist. The photo lacquer is applied, for example, by a spraying or dipping process. Electro-Deposition
(elektrostatisches oder elektrophoretisches Abscheiden) ist ebenfalls denkbar.(electrostatic or electrophoretic deposition) is also conceivable.
Statt eines Fotolacks kann auch ein anderes strukturierbares Material mit einer oder mehreren der folgendenInstead of a photoresist, another structurable material can be used with one or more of the following
Vorgehensweisen aufgebracht werden: Vorhanggießen, Tauchen, insbesondere einseitiges Tauchen, Sprühen, insbesondere elektrostatisches Sprühen, Drucken, insbesondere Siebdrucken, Overmolden, Dispensen, Spincoaten, Auflaminieren einer Folie.Procedures are applied: curtain casting, dipping, in particular one-sided dipping, spraying, in particular electrostatic spraying, printing, in particular screen printing, overmolding, dispensing, spin coating, laminating a film.
Zum Strukturieren können auch fotoempfindliche Folien eingesetzt werden, die auflaminiert und vergleichbar mit der aufgetragenen Fotolackschicht belichtet und entwickelt werden.For structuring, photosensitive foils can also be used, which are laminated on and exposed and developed in a manner comparable to the applied photoresist layer.
Zum Erzeugen der Leiterbahn kann beispielsweise wie folgt vorgegangen werden: In einem ersten Teilschritt wird die elektrisch leitende Schicht strukturiert und in einem darauf folgenden Teilschritt wird auf der erzeugten Leiterbahn eine weitere Metallisierung aufgebracht. Durch die weitereFor example, the following can be used to produce the conductor track: in a first sub-step, the electrically conductive layer is structured and in a subsequent sub-step a further metallization is applied to the conductor track produced. By the further
Metallisierung wird die Leiterbahn verstärkt. Beispielsweise wird auf der durch Strukturieren erzeugten Leiterbahn Kupfer galvanisch in einer Dicke von 1 μm bis.400 μm abgeschieden. Danach wird die Fotolackschicht beziehungsweise die auflaminierte Folie oder das alternativ verwendete strukturierbare Material abgelöst. Dies gelingt beispielsweise mit einem organischen Lösungsmittel, einem alkalischen Entwickler oder dergleichen. Durch nachfolgendes Differenzätzen wird die flächige, nicht mit der Metallisierung verstärkte, metallisch leitende Schicht wieder entfernt. Die verstärkte Leiterbahn bleibt erhalten.Metallization the conductor track is reinforced. For example, copper becomes on the conductor track produced by structuring galvanically deposited in a thickness of 1 μm to 400 μm. The photoresist layer or the laminated film or the structurable material used alternatively is then removed. This can be done, for example, with an organic solvent, an alkaline developer or the like. Subsequent differential etching removes the flat, metallically conductive layer that is not reinforced with the metallization. The reinforced conductor track is retained.

Jedenfalls ist danach eine Vorrichtung aus einem Substrat 1 mit Bauelement 2 mit einer Oberfläche, auf der elektrische Kontaktflächen 210, 112 angeordnet sind, bereitgestellt, bei der auf der Oberfläche ein Isolator in Form einer Schicht 3 aus elektrisch isolierendem Material aufgebracht ist, die eng an der Oberfläche anliegt und an der Oberfläche haftet und bei der die Schicht 3 aus elektrisch isolierendem Material bei den Kontaktflächen 210 und 112 jeweils Fenster 31 aufweist, in welchem diese Kontaktfläche 210, 112 frei von der Schicht 3 aus elektrisch isolierendem Material und flächig mit einer Schicht 4 und beispielsweise zusätzlich mit einer Schicht 6 aus elektrisch leitendem Material kontaktiert ist. Spezielle Ausbildungen dieser Vorrichtung ergeben sich aus der vorstehenden Beschreibung. In any case, a device is then provided from a substrate 1 with component 2 with a surface on which electrical contact surfaces 210, 112 are arranged, in which an insulator in the form of a layer 3 of electrically insulating material is applied to the surface, which is closely attached bears on the surface and adheres to the surface and in which the layer 3 of electrically insulating material has windows 31 in each case at the contact surfaces 210 and 112, in which this contact surface 210, 112 is free of the layer 3 of electrically insulating material and flat with one layer 4 and, for example, is additionally contacted with a layer 6 of electrically conductive material. Special designs of this device result from the above description.
