広く使用されている。2. Description of the Related Art In a so-called packaging process, a semiconductor element such as an IC or an LSI is fixed on a lead frame, is electrically connected to the lead frame by wire bonding, and is molded with a molding resin. In order to connect to an external circuit such as a substrate using solder or the like, lead (external lead) exposed to the outside of the mold resin is mainly made of lead.
A tin-lead alloy containing 40 wt%, so-called lead solder plating, is applied, and then the lead is cut from the frame and bent into a predetermined shape. For this reason, plating on the leads is required to have properties such as solder wettability, heat resistance, whisker resistance, adhesion, bending properties, and corrosion resistance. Lead solder plating satisfies all of these required characteristics and is widely used in current products.

Zn−Bi系等の鉛フリーはんだが開発されている。However, among the recent environmental problems, environmental pollution due to lead has become a major problem. Lead solder is widely used as a bonding material for electrical parts such as home appliances and automobile parts, and when exposed to shredder dust as waste, is exposed to acidic atmospheres such as acid rain. This leads to a problem that lead in the solder is eluted and contaminates the groundwater. Therefore, the development of lead-free solder, which does not contain lead, has been promoted, and Sn-Ag-Bi-based, Sn-
Lead-free solders such as Zn-Bi have been developed.

スズ−銀合金は加熱により表面が青く変色して濡れ性が
低下する。However, all of these alloy plating films have a major drawback. For example, palladium cannot be applied to a 42 alloy which is an iron-nickel alloy which is a mainstream lead material in terms of corrosion resistance. Tin-zinc alloys are easily oxidized, have poor wettability, and are liable to generate whiskers. When whiskers occur, an electrical short circuit occurs between closely spaced leads.
The surface of the tin-silver alloy turns blue due to heating, and the wettability decreases.

ない。[0006] Further, since the tin-bismuth alloy is hard and brittle, cracks occur in the plating film when the lead is bent in the above-described semiconductor element forming step. Therefore, if the heating step is performed after bending the lead, the lead surface is oxidized, and the wettability is reduced. Also, the corrosion resistance is reduced. As described above, any of the tin alloys has a major drawback, and thus cannot be used as a plating film alternative to the conventional tin-lead alloy.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a resin-sealed semiconductor device according to the present invention, and is a schematic configuration diagram showing an entire embodiment. The semiconductor device is composed of a 42 alloy, which is an iron-nickel alloy having a coefficient of thermal expansion matched with that of the semiconductor element, or a lead frame (lead base) 2 having a surface plated with copper having a thickness of 1 to 10 μm. After fixing the semiconductor element 1 such as an LSI, an electrode (not shown) of the semiconductor element 1 is electrically connected to a lead frame by a wire bonding 3 or the like, and is resin-sealed with a mold resin 4 to manufacture the semiconductor element 1.

As shown in the cross section in FIG. 2, a tin alloy plating film is formed on the lead surface such that the alloy component content increases toward the surface direction of the plating film thickness. After that, the lead 5 is cut from the frame and bent into a predetermined shape.

Then, a tin-bismuth or silver alloy plating film 8 (upper layer) having a higher bismuth or silver content (1 wt% or more) and free from whiskers was formed near the lead substrate, and an intermediate layer 9 was formed between them. The structure is shown. In the intermediate layer 9, the content of bismuth or silver, which is an alloy component, is between the lower layer and the upper layer, and the content may be provided with a concentration gradient such that the content continuously increases in the upper layer direction. May be constant.

できる。Since the plating film 7 (lower layer) near the lead substrate is made of tin-bismuth or a tin-silver alloy having a bismuth or silver content of 1% by weight or less, bending at the time of forming the lead (the bending radius is a standard). 0.15mm, the same as the thickness of the lead base material, the bending radius is actually 0.25mm
), The occurrence of cracks is prevented, and a decrease in wettability can be prevented.
As the (upper layer) is made of tin-bismuth or a tin-silver alloy having a bismuth or silver content of 1 wt% or more, whiskers are not generated, so that even short leads are prevented from short-circuiting between leads due to whisker formation. And
Moreover, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of cracks due to bending at the time of lead molding, to prevent a decrease in wettability, and to apply lead-free solder plating having more excellent corrosion resistance.

できる。That is, if a plating film 8 (upper layer) containing a certain amount (1 wt%) or more of bismuth or silver is formed on the plating film 7 (lower layer) in the vicinity of the lead substrate, the bismuth and silver become whiskers. Since it has an effect of preventing, it is possible to prevent the generation of whiskers due to the plating film 7 near the base material.

しないため耐食性が低下することもない。Further, even if a crack occurs in the plating film 8 near the surface when the lead is bent, the crack remains in the plating film 8 or the intermediate layer 9 near the surface and does not reach the plating film 7 near the base material. Therefore, even when the lead is bent and the heating step is performed, the surface of the lead is not oxidized and the wettability is not reduced. Further, since the crack does not reach the surface of the lead base material 6, the corrosion resistance does not decrease.

で形成することができる。Between the bismuth content in the plating film and the current density during the plating process, when the bismuth concentration in the plating solution is constant, as shown in FIG. The larger the current density, the smaller the bismuth content. Therefore, when performing tin-bismuth alloy plating on a lead substrate, if the current density at the beginning of plating is increased and the current density at the end of plating is reduced, the bismuth content near the substrate is low, and the bismuth content near the surface is low. Can be formed in the same plating solution.

If plating is performed at dm 2 , a plating film with a bismuth content of 0.7 wt% can be formed near the lead substrate (lower layer), and a plating film with a bismuth content of 2.3 wt% can be formed near the surface (upper layer). . Each plating time is 2 μm in the plating film thickness of 0.7 wt% bismuth near the lead substrate.

In bismuth and tin-silver plating, the potential of bismuth and silver is higher than that of tin, so when tin or a tin alloy with a high tin content is immersed in the plating solution, tin elutes and bismuth or silver precipitates. A substitution reaction occurs. By utilizing this substitution reaction, plating films having different bismuth or silver contents can be formed in the same plating solution as in the above-described example.

れる。That is, as shown in FIG. 4, when a pulse is used for the plating current waveform at the time of electroplating, a tin-bismuth alloy plating film is deposited during the energization time t of the pulse, and the bismuth substitution reaction is performed during the energization suspension time s. A film is deposited. By repeating this with a pulse waveform, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 5, a tin-bismuth alloy plating film (deposited during energization time) 10 and a bismuth substitution reaction film (deposited during energization suspension time) 11 on lead substrate 6 Is obtained.

If the length is shortened, the bismuth substitution reaction film 11 becomes thin and a plating film having a small bismuth content can be obtained. If the pause time s is lengthened, the bismuth substitution reaction film 11 becomes thick and a plating film having a large bismuth content is obtained. can get. Therefore, in the same plating solution, if the pause time s is short at the beginning of plating and the pause time s is long at the end of plating, a plating film with a low bismuth content is formed near the lead substrate (lower layer), In the vicinity (upper layer), a plating film having a high bismuth content is formed.

なめっき膜が形成される。By combining the above-described method of changing the current density with the method of using the pause time of the pulse current, it is possible to form a plating film having a larger difference in bismuth content. That is, by increasing the current density and shortening the pause time at the beginning of plating, and decreasing the current density and increasing the pause time at the end of plating, the bismuth content near the lead substrate (lower layer) is low. A plating film is formed, and a plating film having a higher bismuth content is formed near the surface (upper layer).
