Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve precision in wire bonding by suppressing adhesion of a plating metal to a heater dowel, used for wire bonding in manufacturing steps of a semiconductor device. SOLUTION: The heater dowel for wire bonding comprises a die pad support part A and an inner lead support part B of the heater dowel 6 to which plated metal M easily adheres and is formed of diamond sintered materials 61a and 61b or a diamond-like carbon thin film 62, formed over the entire surface of an upper surface of the dowel 6.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a procedure of a wire bonding operation. The tip of the gold wire 10 protruding from the bonding tool 9 is melted by electric discharge with the electric torch 11 to form a gold ball 12 (FIGS. 5A and 5B).
Next, the bonding tool 9 is lowered onto the electrode 2 of the semiconductor element 1 heated by the heater block 7, and the gold ball 12 is bonded to the electrode 2 while applying ultrasonic vibration to the electrode 2 by the bonding tool 9 (FIG. 5). (C)). Next, the bonding tool 9 is moved onto the inner lead 3 heated by the heater block 7, and bonding is performed while applying ultrasonic vibration to the inner lead 3 with the bonding tool 9 ((d) in FIG. 5). The bonding is based on the diffusion between the gold wire 10 and the bonding metal, and the higher the temperature, the more the diffusion is promoted. However, the higher the temperature, the greater the damage to the semiconductor element.

In recent years, the width and the pitch of the inner leads 3 of the lead frame 4 tend to decrease with the increase in the integration of electronic circuits and the miniaturization of semiconductor devices. For this reason, the accuracy required for the wire bonding operation is also increasing, and various measures are being taken to improve the accuracy.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-231334 discloses that a lead frame is plastically deformed and fixed by providing a convex portion on a heater block and a concave portion on a clamp jig, and a bonding position by ultrasonic vibration of an ultrasonic transducer. A method for preventing displacement is described. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-268032 describes a method of correcting the wire bond position by calculating the amount of expansion and contraction from the resonance frequency when the ultrasonic transducer expands and contracts due to the thermal influence of the heater block. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-21870 discloses that the engraved portion of the heater block into which the die pad and the suspension lead are fitted is color-coded so as to be distinguishable from other portions, and that the die pad and the suspension lead are correctly positioned. A method of binarizing and discriminating whether or not it is described is described.

Efforts have been made to make the position of wire bonding accurate by the above-mentioned method.

In addition to the displacement, there is a displacement caused by the heater top.

As described above, the ultrasonic vibration is applied to the electrodes 2 of the semiconductor element 1 and the inner leads 3 of the lead frame 4 by the bonding tool 9. For this reason,
The die pad 5 and the inner lead 3 on which the semiconductor element 1 is mounted also vibrate accordingly, and are strongly rubbed against the heater piece 6. In order to improve the adhesiveness to the solder used when the semiconductor element 1 is mounted on the die pad 5, Pb-
The plating of Sn, Ag, etc. is performed. The inner leads 3 are plated in the same manner for the purpose of improving the bondability with the gold wire 10. Therefore,
When the die pad 5 and the inner lead 3 are strongly rubbed against the heater top 6, a part of the plating is peeled off and adheres to the heater top 6. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a state of the plating metal adhered to the heater piece. The plating metal M adheres to the die pad supporting portion A and the inner lead supporting portion B. If the plating metal M adheres and accumulates on the heater piece 6, it interferes with the die pad 5 and the inner lead 3, causing a displacement, and the wire bonding is not performed properly.

Further, during the wire bonding operation, since the lead frame 4 is pressed down from above and fixed by the clamp 13, if the plating metal M adheres to the heater piece 6, the lead frame 4 may be deformed. When the lead frame 4 is deformed, when the semiconductor element 1 and the inner leads 3 are sealed with a resin in the next step, they are not set at a normal position, and problems such as warpage of the package and exposure of the gold wire 10 occur.

It is characterized by comprising a sintered material.
Also, instead of configuring the portion with the sintered material,
A diamond thin film or a diamond-like carbon thin film may be formed on the portion.

As described above, various problems occur when the plating metal adheres to the heater piece. Therefore, the problem cannot be solved only by periodically removing the plating metal adhered as in the related art. In the present invention, the material of the constituent members of the heater top is improved so that the plated metal does not easily adhere to the heater top.

A conventional heater piece is made of an iron-based material or a cemented carbide. These conventional heater pieces are Pb-
It has good wettability with plating metals such as Sn and Ag, and the plating metal easily adheres. On the other hand, in the present invention, at least the portion supporting the die pad and the inner lead is made of a sintered material containing diamond or cubic boron nitride having extremely low wettability with the plating metal, or is plated on the same portion. By forming a diamond thin film or a diamond-like carbon thin film having extremely low wettability with a metal, the plating metal is hardly adhered. Sintered materials containing diamond or cubic boron nitride, diamond thin films, and diamond-like carbon thin films have a lower coefficient of friction with plated metals than iron-based materials and cemented carbides. Since the friction generated when vibrating above is small, the plating metal does not easily adhere. This suppresses displacement and deformation of the semiconductor element and the inner lead, and improves wire bonding accuracy. In addition, since the interval between the operations of removing the adhered plating metal becomes longer, the number of stoppages of the production line is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.

Generally, a sintered material containing diamond or cubic boron nitride is composed of diamond grains or cubic boron nitride grains and a binder. As the binder, metals such as Co, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Sn and alloys thereof, cemented carbides, ceramics, cermets, and the like are used. Of these binders, cemented carbides, ceramics,
Cermet has relatively low wettability with plated metal,
It is desirable to use a cemented carbide, ceramics, or cermet as a binder for the sintered material for preventing the adhesion of the plating metal.

Here, the content of diamond or cubic boron nitride in the sintered material is desirably 40 to 95% by volume. If the content of diamond or cubic boron nitride is less than 40% by volume, the wettability with the plating metal will not be sufficiently reduced, and the effect of preventing the adhesion of the plating metal will be insufficient. The above range is desirable because the bondability is extremely reduced, the production becomes difficult and the production cost increases, and the effect of preventing plating metal adhesion also saturates.

If the size is larger, the plating on the die pad or the inner lead is more likely to be scraped off due to the unevenness of the surface, so that the amount of the deposited metal increases. In addition, the adhered plating metal enters the minute dents, making it difficult to remove.

And the inner lead supporting portion is formed of a diamond sintered body 61b. By forming the die pad support portion A and the inner lead support portion B to which the plating metal M is easily attached as described in FIG. 7 with the diamond sintered bodies 61a and 61b, the attachment of the plating metal to these portions can be suppressed. .

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a main part of a heater piece according to a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a diamond-like carbon thin film 62 having a thickness of 30 μm is formed over the entire upper surface of the heater piece 6. The formation of the diamond-like carbon thin film 62 can also suppress the adhesion of the plating metal. Since the thin film formation is not affected by the shape of the heater top 6 as compared with the case where the sintered body is embedded, there is an advantage that a heater top having a complicated shape can be manufactured relatively easily.
