Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a contact of thin metal wire with semiconductor chip and the like, and leakage of bonding agent, possibly caused by increased semiconductor size and decreased package thickness. SOLUTION: A semiconductor chip 1 is firmly formed on a die pad 3 by bonding material 2 and a projecting part 9 having the same height as the height of the semiconductor chip 1 is formed on the peripheral area of the die pad 3 completely surrounding the semiconductor chip 1. An insulation layer 8 is formed on all over the projecting part 9. Each bonding pad 5 and the corresponding inner lead 6 are connected by thin metal wires 4. Therefore, the thin metal wire 4 sagging from the prescribed locus will not touch the semiconductor chip end 1E as supported by the insulation layer 8.

(1) On the other hand, as the package becomes thinner,
If the height at the time of wiring of the fine metal wire is increased, a part of the fine metal wire is exposed from the surface of the sealing resin, and there is a problem that corrosion and disconnection occur when used in a market. From this,
It is necessary to set the height of the thin metal wires at the time of wiring as low as possible. On the other hand, as semiconductor chips become larger, the size of the die pad part of the lead frame also inevitably increases,
The distance between the side surface of the die pad and the tip surface of the inner lead (corresponding to the distance d in FIG. 6) must be narrow. For this reason, if the height of the thin metal wire is set too low in advance so that a part of the thin metal wire does not protrude from the sealing resin after sealing, the bonding pad of the semiconductor chip and the tip of the inner lead may be displaced. When performing wire bonding with a thin metal wire, the inclination or the degree of curvature of the wiring path of the thin metal wire is large on the tip side of the inner lead, so that a portion of the thin metal wire after wiring is partially removed from the end surface of the die pad and the end of the semiconductor chip or another inner wire. There is a case where an electrical short circuit occurs due to contact with the lead, and at this time, there is a problem that electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device are deteriorated. Therefore, there is a great need to avoid such contact without increasing the distance between the side surface of the die pad and the tip surface of the inner lead (especially, it is necessary to avoid contact with the end surface of the die pad).

A configuration is conceivable in which an insulating layer is formed on the peripheral portion of the die pad facing the tip of the inner lead, and the thin metal wire, which is deviated from the original wiring path and hangs down, is received by the insulating layer (for example, JP-A-2-166759). Reference). However, it is not easy to manufacture an insulating layer having a height and a width dimension capable of receiving a thin metal wire because the insulating layer must be relatively thick. Therefore, it is not realistic to adopt this method, and it must be said that it is difficult to adopt it at all.

Therefore, in order to prevent the metal thin wire from contacting at least the end face of the die pad, the idea of receiving and supporting the metal thin wire on the inner lead side which has been hanging down before contacting the end face of the die pad is more realistic. It is desired to be realized with a simple configuration.

(2) Since the clearance between the bonding material and the die pad of the lead frame decreases with the increase in the size of the semiconductor chip due to the higher density of the semiconductor device, the semiconductor chip is placed on the upper surface of the die pad of the lead frame. When mounting is performed using a bonding material, the bonding material may protrude from the upper surface of the die pad of the lead frame. When the bonding material is turned from the side surface to the rear surface of the die pad due to such protrusion, the bonding material is heated in a wire bonding process, which is a next step, by using a block composed of a block for heating the die pad and the semiconductor chip. ), The die pad is tilted and cannot be in close contact with the heat piece, resulting in a problem that sufficient heating cannot be performed. For this reason, the heat required for wire bond joining is not sufficiently supplied, and there is a problem that the joinability is deteriorated. In addition, as the size of the semiconductor chip increases, the size of the die pad portion of the lead frame inevitably increases. As a result, the distance between the side surface of the die pad and the tip surface of the inner lead (corresponding to the distance d in FIG. 6) is reduced. Since it is inevitable, the bonding material protruding from the upper surface of the die pad of the lead frame is likely to come into contact with the inner lead. When such contact occurs,
The sheet properties will be degraded. Therefore, there is a great need to effectively prevent such a bonding material from protruding from the upper surface of the die pad.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems (1) and (2). That is, the first object is to increase the distance between the side surface of the die pad and the tip end surface of the inner lead and to reduce the metallization when bonding a thin metal wire, despite the tendency of the semiconductor chip to become larger and the package to become thinner. It is an object of the present invention to provide a thin metal wire support for preventing a thin wire from coming into contact with an end surface of a die pad, an end of a semiconductor chip, or even another inner lead. It is a second object of the present invention to prevent a bonding material from protruding from a die pad during die bonding of a semiconductor chip.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the back surface of the semiconductor chip 1 is fixed on the upper surface 3S of the die pad 3 by a bonding material 2 made of solder, resin or the like. Also, the sealing resin 7
The inner leads 6 separated from each other by cutting a tie bar portion (not shown) after the transfer molding process using the die are formed on two sides of the opposing sides in the outer periphery of the die pad 3 as shown in FIG. On each side, they are arranged at predetermined intervals so as not to contact each other. Moreover, the distance between the outer peripheral end or peripheral side surface 3SS of the die pad 3 and the distal end surface 6E of each inner lead 6 is maintained at the same distance d (see FIG. 6) as the conventional semiconductor device 10P. On the other hand, on the surface 1S of the semiconductor chip 1, each bonding pad 5 connected to each electrode of the element of the chip 1 is formed.
Are formed, and each bonding pad 5 and the tip 6A of the inner lead 6 located at the corresponding position are
They are connected to each other by wiring by wire bonding using the thin metal wires 4. The device 10 is molded with a sealing resin 7 so as to include the above-described parts 1 to 6 (however, the inner lead 6 has only the tip 6A side). The core of the configuration of the present apparatus 10 is that a thin metal wire supporting portion or a thin metal wire receiving portion composed of a die pad 3 having a special shape and an insulating layer 8 described later is provided. Hereinafter, these points will be described in detail.

First, the first characteristic point is that a projection or a projection 9 is formed so as to completely surround the semiconductor chip 1 along the periphery or the periphery of the die pad 3. The projection 9 is formed by bending the peripheral edge of the die pad 3 into an L-shape so as to surround the semiconductor chip 1 after mounting the die pad 3 after the die pad 3 is formed. Here, the height of the protrusion 9 from the upper surface 3S of the die pad 3 is set substantially equal to the height of the surface 1S of the semiconductor chip 1 from the upper surface 3S including the bonding material 2. Of course, the height of the projection 9 may be set higher than the height of the semiconductor chip 1, and the maximum value is determined by the wiring of the thin metal wire 4 between the insulating layer 8 and the upper surface 7US of the sealing resin 7 described later. It is drawn from the viewpoint that a route can be secured. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of preventing at least the thin metal wire 4 from contacting the end face of the die pad 3, the height of the protrusion 9 is set to be lower than the height of the surface 1 S of the semiconductor chip 1. May be. In that sense, the height of the protrusion 9 may be an arbitrary value, and the height of the surface 1
It is not always necessary to set almost the same as that of S.

The next feature is that a film-shaped insulating layer (also referred to as a plate-shaped insulator) 8 having a width 8d (for example, 0.3 mm to 0.4 mm) wider than the width 9d of the protrusion 9 is formed by Upper surface 9
The point is that it is formed in the US. Here, the insulating layer 8
It is formed by applying an insulating adhesive material to which an insulator such as a filler is added on the upper surface 9US of the projection 9, applying pressure by rolling, and applying a heat treatment. At this time, since the relationship of 8d> 9d is satisfied as described above, there is an advantage that the insulating layer 8 can be formed on the upper surface 9US of the protrusion 9 without requiring high precision in the bonding position accuracy of the insulating layer 8. is there. Thereby, the upper surface 8US of the insulating layer 8 supported by the protrusion 9 and the upper surface 7US of the sealing resin 7 after molding are formed.
A space where the thin metal wire 4 is to be arranged is formed between the position where the metal wire is to be formed. That is, from the viewpoint of a certain bonding pad 5, in order to stretch the thin metal wire 4 to the tip portion 6 </ b> A of the inner lead 6 to be wire-bonded, the insulation existing at a position slightly higher than the surface 1 </ b> S of the semiconductor chip 1.

(1) As described above, the protrusion 9 having substantially the same height as the semiconductor chip 1 and surrounding the chip 1 is provided on the periphery of the die pad 3, and is further provided on the upper surface 9 US of the protrusion 9. Since the film-shaped insulating layer 8 is formed, the space for arranging the fine metal wires 4 at the time of wire bonding is reduced due to the enlargement of the die pad 3 and the thinning of the resin case accompanying the enlargement of the semiconductor chip 1. As a result, even when the thin metal wire 4 is deviated from a predetermined trajectory and hangs downward during wire bonding, a part of the thin metal wire 4a becomes part of the film-like insulating layer 8 as shown by a broken line in FIG. Since the fine wires 4a are in contact with each other and are only supported by the insulating layer 8 and do not hang down further, the fine metal wires 4a do not contact the die pad 3 and, of course, the semiconductor chip ends 1 And it is not to other inner leads contact 6 both can not occur inconvenience of electrical properties.

(2) Even if the clearance between the bonding material 2 and the die pad 3 is reduced due to the increase in the density of the semiconductor device 10 and the size of the semiconductor chip 1, the semiconductor chip 1 is mounted on the die pad 3 using the bonding material 2. Since the projection 9 completely surrounds the periphery of the semiconductor chip 1,
As a result of the inner wall surface of the projection 9 playing a role of blocking the flow of the bonding material 2, the bonding material 2 can be completely prevented from protruding from the upper surface 3 </ b> S of the die pad 3.

Incidentally, for example, in a portion R indicated by a broken line in FIG. 2, that is, in the peripheral portion of the die pad 3, the tip end portion 6A of one inner lead 6 and the corresponding partner to be wire-bonded corresponding thereto. Bonding pad 5
If, for example, a projection 9 having a dimension and a cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 1 is locally provided only in a portion between them and the insulating layer 8 is formed on the upper surface 9US of the projection 9, at least the projection In the region R where the portion 9 is provided, the contact of the fine metal wire 4 with the end face of the die pad 3 or the semiconductor chip end 1E due to the dripping of the fine metal wire 4 is effectively prevented although it is local,
Although the above-mentioned effect (2) cannot be obtained, the above-mentioned effect (1) can be obtained for this portion. Then, a structure composed of one such protrusion 9 and one insulating layer 8 formed on the upper surface 9US of the die pad 3 corresponding to each of the bonding pad 5 or the inner lead 6 is formed.
The effect (1) described above can be achieved at all the wiring locations of the thin metal wires 4 by providing them individually at the peripheral edge of the metal wire. From such a point of view, any part of the peripheral portion of the die pad 3 located between the at least one bonding pad 5 and the tip end portion 6A of the inner lead 6 to be connected to the bonding pad 5 may have any shape. Providing one protruding portion 9 having a height and the insulating layer 8 formed thereon is useful for the semiconductor device 10.

The feature of this modification is that the projections 9 are formed simultaneously when the respective patterns (leads, die pads, tie bars, etc.) of the lead frame are formed by etching. Thereby, as shown in FIG.
From the back surface 6aD of the inner lead 6a to the inner lead 6
The height or thickness of the protrusion a from the back surface 3D of the die pad 3 to the upper surface 9US of the protrusion 9 is set to be the same. In particular,
When forming the pattern of the lead frame by etching, a mask is applied to the peripheral portion of the die pad 3 where the projection 9 is to be formed in the lead frame, and the die pad 3 including the bonding material 2 after the semiconductor chip 1 is mounted. A portion where the die pad 3 is to be formed is etched in a concave or groove shape so that the height from the back surface 3D to the front surface 1S of the semiconductor chip 1 and the height of the protrusion 9 from the same surface 3D are substantially the same. By removing the mask, a protrusion 9 extending vertically upward is formed on the peripheral portion of the die pad 3.

The reason for using such a configuration is as follows. That is, in the first embodiment, the film-shaped insulating layer 8 is formed on the upper surface 9US of the projection 9, but the predetermined margin is set so that no displacement occurs when the insulating layer 8 is bonded to the upper surface 9US. Must be reserved in advance. That is, because the margin on the upper surface 9US side of the projection 9 is small, if the insulating layer 8 is displaced from a predetermined arrangement position, the insulating layer 8 will not be placed on the upper surface 9US of the projection 9 itself, Even if the insulating layer 8 is placed on the upper surface 9US of the projection 9, there is a risk that the insulating layer 8 is inclined and cannot support the thin metal wire 4 reliably.
Is likely to fall from the projection 9.
