Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、半導体素子の電極と外部リードを接続するために使用するボンディング用金合金線に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から半導体装置は半導体素子と端子を金属ワイヤで配線する方法として超音波併用熱圧着ボンディング法が主として用いられ、その後樹脂封止して用いられている。
【0003】
図1は従来の半導体装置の製造工程の1例として端子としてリードを用いた例を示す図である。まず図1(a)に示すように金属ワイヤ2をキャピラリー1に挿通し、その先端に電気トーチ3を対向させ金属ワイヤ2との間で放電させることにより、金属ワイヤ2の先端を加熱、溶融してボール4を形成する。ついで図1(b)に示す様にキャピラリー1を下降させて該ボール4を半導体素子6上のAl電極5の上に押圧接合する。この時半導体素子6はヒーターブロック(図示省略)で加熱される為、上記ボール4は熱圧着され、圧着ボール4’となる。次いで図1(c)に示すようにキャピラリー1は所定の軌跡を描いてリード8の上に移動し、下降する。この時リードはヒータブロック(図示省略)で加熱される為金属ワイヤ2’の軸方向側面がリード8上に熱圧着される。次いで図1(d)に示すようにクランパ7は金属ワイヤ2をクランプしたまま上昇することにより、金属ワイヤ2が切断され配線が完了する。ここでファースト側接合点9は金属ワイヤがボールボンディングされ、セカンド側接合点10は金属ワイヤ2が軸方向側面で熱圧着して接合される所謂ステッチボンディングされ、セカンド側接合点10で金属ワイヤ2が切断され配線2’が形成される。
【0004】
次いで半導体素子6と配線された金属ワイヤ2’とを封止する樹脂封止(図示省略)を行う。このようにして製造された半導体装置の断面図を図2に示す。
【0005】
次いで図2に示す半導体装置12は、封止樹脂11から露出したリード8を直角に折り曲げ、これを端子としてプリント基板のスルーホール(図示省略)に接合して基板へ搭載される。ここで半導体装置12のリード8と基板のスルーホールの接合には半田材料を用いてその溶融点以上の温度まで加熱して接合されている。
【0006】
一方前述の半田材料として37%Pb−Sn組成(質量%)の共晶半田組成のものが共晶温度183℃と低温で半田溶融が出来る長所を利用して用いられてきた。
【0007】
しかしながら、近年、廃棄された電子機器から溶出する鉛による環境汚染が問題になっており、電子機器製造においては、半田材料としてPbを含有しない所謂無鉛半田材料の使用が開始されてきた。
【0008】
また、半導体装置の高密度化は図1に示すAl電極5の間隔の縮小を推進し、図1に示す圧着ボール4’が隣接する間隔が狭くなる為、その接触を避けることが要求されている。これの対応として圧着ボールの上から見た形状を真円に近くすることが考えられ、特開2000−150562号公報には圧着ボールの真円度を向上させるボンディング用金合金線の組成が提案されている。
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ここで前記半田材料への要求に対して、電子機器に用いる無鉛半田材料としてSn−Cu系合金が代表的であり、これらにNi,Ag,Ge等を添加したものが実用化されてきている。ここで、前述の半導体装置のリードをプリント基板のスルーホールへ接合する際の無鉛半田材料としてSn−Cu系合金を用いて接合したところ、図2に示す半導体装置12の配線2’に断線が発生するという問題が生じてきた。本発明者等の検討の結果、半田材料をSn−Cu系合金とすることにより、前記接合温度が従来よりも高温で行われることに起因して配線2’に断線が生じているとの知見を得た。
【0010】
また、半導体装置の高密度化に伴い、圧着ボール同士の接触の機会が増加することを防止する為に本発明者等の検討の結果、前述した圧着ボールの真円度の向上を図るだけでは未だ不十分であり、これに加えて、圧着ボールの直径のばらつき抑制が必要であるとの知見を得た。
【0011】
本発明は前述の事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、半導体装置を基板に接合して搭載するに際して、接合温度が従来の230℃から無鉛半田材料としてSn−Cu系合金を用いて250〜270℃という高温で接合しても半導体装置を構成する配線の断線防止に有効であり、且つ圧着ボールの真円度の向上に加えて、圧着ボールの直径のばらつき抑制に有効な半導体素子ボンディング用金合金線を提供することを目的とする。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者等は、前述の問題を鋭意検討の結果、まず半導体装置を基板に接合して搭載する際に無鉛半田材料を用いると、図2に示す半導体装置12に於いて、断線箇所はリード8上面に前記金属ワイヤ10の側面を接合したセカンド側接合点10であることを見い出した。
【0013】
更に検討を進める中で得られた本発明は、次の組成のボンディング用金合金線を用いることにより、半導体装置を基板に接合して搭載する際に無鉛半田材料を用いても、セカンド側接合点10に於ける断線を有効に防止すると共に、圧着ボールの真円度の向上に加えて、圧着ボールの直径のばらつきを有効に抑制出来るものである。

【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
(1)組成
a)原料金
原料金としては少なくとも99.99質量%以上に精製した高純度金を用いることが好ましい。更に好ましくは99.995質量%以上であり、最も好ましくは99.999質量%以上の高純度金である。特に99.999質量%以上の高純度金を用いると全ての元素を1質量ppm 未満に低減出来る為、有害成分の影響を除去出来て好ましい。
【0015】
b)[Sn]
本発明に用いる金合金線を所定量のPtとYの共存において、Snの含有量を1〜50質量ppm とすることにより前記課題を達成出来る。
【0016】
Sn含有量が1質量ppm 未満の場合と対比して、270℃という高温に晒されても配線の断線防止に有効に作用すると共に圧着ボールが真円度向上に加えて圧着ボールの直径のばらつき抑制に効果を有する。
【0017】
Sn含有量が50質量ppm を超える場合、所定量のPtとYの共存において、図1(a)に示す形成されたボール4の表面に酸化膜が形成され接合性能が劣化してくる。
【0018】
この為、所定量のPtとYの共存において、Snの含有量を1〜50質量ppm とした。
【0019】
c)[Pt]
本発明に用いる金合金線を所定量のSnとYの共存において、Ptの含有量を2〜50質量ppm とすることにより前記課題を達成出来る。
【0020】
Pt含有量が2質量ppm 未満の場合と対比して、270℃という高温に晒されても配線の断線防止に有効に作用すると共に圧着ボールが真円度向上に加えて圧着ボールの直径のばらつき抑制に効果を有する。
【0021】
Pt含有量が50質量ppm を超える場合、所定量のSnとYの共存において、半導体素子に割れを生じ易くなる。
【0022】
この為、所定量のSnとYの共存において、Ptの含有量を2〜50質量ppm とした。
【0023】
d)[Y]
本発明に用いる金合金線を所定量のSnとPtの共存において、Yの含有量を1〜100質量ppm とすることにより前記課題を達成出来る。
【0024】
Y含有量が1質量ppm 未満の場合と対比して、270℃という高温に晒されても配線の断線防止に有効に作用すると共に圧着ボールが真円度向上に加えて圧着ボールの直径のばらつき抑制に効果を有する。
【0025】
Y含有量が100質量ppm を超える場合、所定量のSnとPtの共存において、図1(a)に示す形成されたボール4の表面に酸化膜が形成され接合性能が劣化してくる。
【0026】
この為、所定量のSnとPtの共存において、Yの含有量を1〜100質量ppm とした。
【0027】
e)[La,Ce,Eu,Gd,Mg及びAg](以下「第1群元素」という)
本発明に用いる金合金線を所定量のSn,Pt及びYとの共存に於いて第1群元素の少なくとも1種を1〜100質量ppm 添加することにより、添加しない場合と対比して、圧着ボールの真円度が更に向上することに加えて圧着ボールの直径のばらつきが更に抑制されるという効果を有する。
【0028】
この為、所定量のSn,Pt及びYとの共存に於いて第1群元素の少なくとも1種を1〜100質量ppm 添加することが好ましい。
【0029】
f)[Be及びCa](以下「第2群元素」という)
本発明に用いる金合金線を所定量のSn,Pt,Y及び所定量の第1群元素との共存において第2群元素の少なくとも1種を1〜50質量ppm 添加することにより、添加しない場合と対比して金合金線を高強度ワイヤとすることが出来る。通常、金合金線の破断強度を235N/mm2 以上の高強度にすると、伸び率のバラツキの為、伸び率の小さいものが生じ、安定したループ形状が得られないという問題がある。
【0030】
ここで第2群元素を含有した本発明合金線は破断強度を235N/mm2 以上の高強度ワイヤとしても伸び率のばらつきを抑制する事が出来る為、安定したループ形状が得られるという優れた効果を有している。
【0031】
更に請求項1の金合金線と対比して圧着ボールの真円度が更に向上することに加えて圧着ボールの直径のばらつきが更に抑制されるという効果を有する。
【0032】
g)添加量の合計量
本発明に用いる金合金線は添加量の合計量が6〜150質量ppm であることが必要である。6質量ppm 未満の時、高温に晒された時の断線率及び圧着ボールの直径のばらつき防止に不充分であり、150質量ppm を超えるとボール4の表面に酸化膜が形成され接合性能が劣化したり半導体素子に割れが生じるようになる。
(2)金合金線の製造工程
本発明に用いる半導体素子ボンディング用金合金線の製造工程の一例を説明する。まず所定組成の金合金を熔解し、インゴットに鋳造した後、溝型圧延機を用いて圧延し、中間焼鈍を交えて最終冷間加工により直径10〜100μmの細線とした後、伸び率を4〜6%になるように最終アニールを施し、ついでワイヤ表面に潤滑防錆剤を塗布する。高強度線を必要とする時は、第2群元素の添加に加えて伸び率を4%と小さくすればよい。
【0033】
最後に加工工程を終了したワイヤを主として外径50.3mmのスプールに所定張力で所定長さを巻き替えて製品とする。所定長さとしては100〜3,000mが用いられ更に長尺になりつつある。
(3)用途
本発明に用いる半導体素子ボンディング用金合金線は一般に半導体素子電極と外部リードの接続用に用いられ、接続方法としてはボールボンディング法により配線して接合する方法及び金合金線を用いてバンプを形成し、該バンプを介して接続する方法に用いられる。
(4)圧着ボールのばらつき
図1(a)に示すボール4を図1(b)に示す圧着ボール4’に圧着した時、圧着ボールには真円度(最小直径/最大直径)低下と直径{(最大直径+最小直径)/2}にばらつきが生じてくる。本発明金合金では真円度に優れていると共に直径のばらつきが抑制出来るという効果を有するものである。
【0034】
即ち、真円度の評価は圧着ボールの二次元的ばらつきを示す指標であることに対してこれに直径のばらつきの評価を加えることは圧着ボールの三次元的ばらつきを示す指標となってくる。
【0035】
本発明では、直径のばらつきをCpkで表示する。Cpkは次式で表示される。
【0036】
【数1】
【0037】
圧着ボール直径の平均値が規格幅の中心の時、標準偏差をσとすると、Cpk=規格幅/6σとなる。規格幅が一定であるため、Cpk値が大きい程σは小さいことを意味している。規格幅=Aσで表すと、下表(a)欄の通りCpk値が大きい程Aの値は大きくなる。規格を外れる片側頻度をAの値を基に数値表から求めると下表(b)欄の様になる。片側頻度をCpk=1.20を基準に指数で表示すると(c)欄の様になる。即ち規格を外れる片側頻度(圧着平均直径が規格より大きいものが生じる頻度)は下表の通りCpk値の向上とともに低減していくことが下表(b)欄の片側頻度及び下表(c)欄の片側頻度の指数から判る。
【0038】
【表1】
【0039】
(5)機構の推定
本発明になるSn−Pt−Y含有金合金線が半導体装置を高温で加熱しても配線の断線が少なく、且つ圧着ボール直径のばらつき防止に有効な理由は明らかではないが次の様に考えられる。
【0040】
即ち配線の断線が少なくなる理由は、図2に示すセカンド側接合点10において本発明になる金合金線は、強固で且つ均質なステッチボンディングされている為、半導体装置を高温で加熱してもその接合点での断線が防止出来ると考えられる。
【0041】
又圧着ボールの真円度の向上に加えて、圧着ボール直径のばらつき抑制に有効な理由は、本発明になる金合金線の優れた加工性が二次元的に止まらず、三次元的に優れた加工性を有していることに起因していると考えられる。
【0042】
【実施例】

On the other hand, the eutectic solder composition having a composition of 37% Pb-Sn (mass%) as the solder material described above has been used taking advantage of the fact that the solder can be melted at a eutectic temperature of 183 ° C.

More preferably, it is 99.995 mass% or more, Most preferably, it is high purity gold of 99.999 mass% or more. In particular, it is preferable to use high-purity gold of 99.999 mass% or more because all the elements can be reduced to less than 1 mass ppm, so that the influence of harmful components can be removed.
[0015]
b) [Sn]
In the gold alloy wire used in the present invention, in the presence of a predetermined amount of Pt and Y, the above problem can be achieved by setting the Sn content to 1 to 50 ppm by mass.
[0016]
Compared to the case where the Sn content is less than 1 ppm by mass, it effectively works to prevent the disconnection of the wiring even when exposed to a high temperature of 270 ° C. Has an effect on suppression.
[0017]
When the Sn content exceeds 50 ppm by mass, an oxide film is formed on the surface of the formed ball 4 shown in FIG. 1A in the coexistence of a predetermined amount of Pt and Y, and the bonding performance deteriorates.
[0018]
For this reason, in the coexistence of a predetermined amount of Pt and Y, the Sn content is set to 1 to 50 ppm by mass.
[0019]
c) [Pt]
In the gold alloy wire used in the present invention, in the presence of a predetermined amount of Sn and Y, the above problem can be achieved by setting the Pt content to 2 to 50 ppm by mass.
[0020]
Compared to the case where the Pt content is less than 2 ppm by mass, it effectively works to prevent disconnection of the wiring even when exposed to a high temperature of 270 ° C. Has an effect on suppression.
[0021]
When the Pt content exceeds 50 ppm by mass, the semiconductor element tends to crack in the presence of a predetermined amount of Sn and Y.
[0022]
For this reason, in the coexistence of a predetermined amount of Sn and Y, the content of Pt was set to 2 to 50 ppm by mass.
[0023]
d) [Y]
In the gold alloy wire used in the present invention, in the coexistence of a predetermined amount of Sn and Pt, the above problem can be achieved by setting the Y content to 1 to 100 ppm by mass.
[0024]
Compared to the case where the Y content is less than 1 ppm by mass, it effectively works to prevent disconnection of the wiring even when exposed to a high temperature of 270 ° C. Has an effect on suppression.
[0025]
When the Y content exceeds 100 ppm by mass, an oxide film is formed on the surface of the formed ball 4 shown in FIG. 1A in the presence of a predetermined amount of Sn and Pt, and the bonding performance deteriorates.
[0026]
For this reason, in the coexistence of a predetermined amount of Sn and Pt, the Y content is set to 1 to 100 ppm by mass.
[0027]
e) [La, Ce, Eu, Gd, Mg and Ag] (hereinafter referred to as “first group element”)
When the gold alloy wire used in the present invention is added in an amount of 1 to 100 ppm by mass of at least one of the first group elements in the coexistence with a predetermined amount of Sn, Pt, and Y, it is compared with the case where it is not added. In addition to further improving the roundness of the ball, there is an effect that variation in the diameter of the press-bonded ball is further suppressed.
[0028]
For this reason, it is preferable to add 1 to 100 mass ppm of at least one element of the first group element in the coexistence with predetermined amounts of Sn, Pt and Y.
[0029]
f) [Be and Ca] (hereinafter referred to as “second group element”)
When the gold alloy wire used in the present invention is not added by adding 1 to 50 ppm by mass of at least one second group element in the coexistence of a predetermined amount of Sn, Pt, Y and a predetermined amount of the first group element In contrast, the gold alloy wire can be made a high strength wire. Usually, when the breaking strength of a gold alloy wire is set to a high strength of 235 N / mm 2 or more, there is a problem that due to the variation in the elongation rate, a small elongation rate occurs and a stable loop shape cannot be obtained.
[0030]
Here, the alloy wire of the present invention containing the second group element can suppress variation in elongation even as a high-strength wire having a breaking strength of 235 N / mm 2 or more, so that an excellent loop shape can be obtained. Has an effect.
[0031]
Further, in comparison with the gold alloy wire according to the first aspect, in addition to further improving the roundness of the press-bonded ball, there is an effect that the variation in the diameter of the press-bonded ball is further suppressed.
[0032]
g) Total amount of addition The gold alloy wire used in the present invention needs to have a total amount of addition of 6 to 150 ppm by mass. If it is less than 6 ppm by mass, it is insufficient to prevent the disconnection rate and the diameter variation of the press-bonded ball when exposed to high temperature. If it exceeds 150 ppm by mass, an oxide film is formed on the surface of the ball 4 and the bonding performance deteriorates. Or cracks in the semiconductor element.
(2) Manufacturing process of gold alloy wire An example of a manufacturing process of a gold alloy wire for bonding semiconductor elements used in the present invention will be described. First, a gold alloy having a predetermined composition is melted and cast into an ingot, then rolled using a grooved rolling mill, subjected to intermediate annealing to form a thin wire having a diameter of 10 to 100 μm by final cold working, and an elongation rate of 4 Final annealing is performed so as to be ˜6%, and then a lubricating rust inhibitor is applied to the wire surface. When a high-strength wire is required, the elongation should be reduced to 4% in addition to the addition of the second group element.
[0033]
Finally, the wire that has finished the processing step is wound around a spool having an outer diameter of 50.3 mm with a predetermined tension to obtain a product. As the predetermined length, 100 to 3,000 m is used and it is becoming longer.
(3) Applications The gold alloy wires for bonding semiconductor elements used in the present invention are generally used for connecting semiconductor element electrodes and external leads. As the connection method, a method of wiring and bonding using a ball bonding method and a gold alloy wire are used. Are used in a method of forming bumps and connecting via the bumps.
(4) Dispersion of pressure-bonded balls When the ball 4 shown in FIG. 1 (a) is pressed onto the pressure-bonded ball 4 ′ shown in FIG. 1 (b), the roundness (minimum diameter / maximum diameter) decreases and the diameter of the pressure-bonded ball Variation occurs in {(maximum diameter + minimum diameter) / 2}. The gold alloy of the present invention is excellent in roundness and has an effect of suppressing variation in diameter.
[0034]
That is, the evaluation of the roundness is an index indicating two-dimensional variation of the press-bonded ball, and the evaluation of the variation of diameter added thereto is an index indicating the three-dimensional variation of the press-bonded ball.
[0035]
In the present invention, the variation in diameter is displayed in Cpk. Cpk is expressed by the following equation.
[0036]
[Expression 1]
[0037]
When the average value of the diameters of the press-bonded balls is at the center of the standard width, assuming that the standard deviation is σ, Cpk = standard width / 6σ. Since the standard width is constant, it means that the larger the Cpk value is, the smaller σ is. When the standard width = Aσ, the value of A increases as the Cpk value increases as shown in the table (a) below. When the one-side frequency out of the standard is obtained from the numerical table based on the value of A, it becomes as shown in the table (b) below. When the one-side frequency is displayed as an index based on Cpk = 1.20, it becomes as shown in (c) column. That is, the one-side frequency out of the standard (the frequency with which the average diameter of the crimp is larger than the standard) decreases as the Cpk value increases as shown in the table below. It can be seen from the index of the frequency on one side of the column.
[0038]
[Table 1]
[0039]
(5) Estimation of mechanism The reason why the Sn-Pt-Y-containing gold alloy wire according to the present invention is less likely to cause disconnection of the wiring even when the semiconductor device is heated at a high temperature and is effective in preventing variation in the diameter of the press-bonded ball is not clear. Is considered as follows.
[0040]
In other words, the reason why the disconnection of the wiring is reduced is that the gold alloy wire according to the present invention is strong and homogeneous stitch bonding at the
[0041]
In addition to improving the roundness of the press-bonded ball, the effective reason for suppressing variations in the diameter of the press-bonded ball is that the excellent workability of the gold alloy wire according to the present invention does not stop two-dimensionally but is excellent three-dimensionally. This is thought to be due to having excellent workability.
[0042]
【Example】
Example 1
A predetermined amount of the elements shown in Table 2 is added to high-purity gold having a purity of 99.999% by mass, melted in a vacuum melting furnace, cast to obtain a gold alloy ingot having the composition shown in Table 2, and a groove roll , Cold work using a wire drawing machine and intermediate annealing are performed, the final cold working is performed to make the diameter 25 μm, the final annealing is performed so that the elongation rate is 4%, and the surface is coated with a lubricant to form a gold alloy The wire was finished and used for measurement.
[0043]
First, a press-bonded ball formation test was conducted. First, using a high-speed automatic bonder UTC-200 type (manufactured by Shinkawa Co., Ltd.), a ball having a diameter of 65 μm is formed at the tip of the gold alloy wire by arc discharge using an electric torch, and the die temperature is compared with the standard value of the pressure ball of 70 to 90 μm. Thermocompression bonding was performed on a semiconductor element Al electrode at 200 ° C. by a thermocompression bonding method using ultrasonic waves. Next, the pressure-bonded ball diameter was measured for 50 balls by measuring the pressure-bonded diameter in the direction perpendicular to the ultrasonic application direction (hereinafter referred to as “minimum diameter”) and the pressure-bonded diameter in the parallel direction (hereinafter referred to as “maximum diameter”). Table 2 shows the variation in roundness and pressure-bonded ball diameter expressed in Cpk, where (minimum diameter / maximum diameter) is roundness and {(maximum diameter + minimum diameter) / 2} is the pressure-bonded ball diameter.
[0044]
Second, a semiconductor device heating test was performed. Ten semiconductor devices shown in FIG. 2 were prepared by performing 100-pin wiring in the manner shown in FIG. The semiconductor device was heated at 270 ° C. for 5 minutes, and then the resin was removed using nitric acid, and the disconnection state of the wiring was observed with a metal microscope. The number of disconnections at the second side junction was counted, and the results are shown in Table 2 as disconnection rates.
(Examples 2 to 22) (Comparative Examples 1 to 7)

Furthermore, this alloy wire contains a predetermined amount of at least one of Be and Ca, so that the standard deviation of the elongation rate can be suppressed to 0.5 even if the breaking strength is 235 N / mm 2 or more. That is, it has a further excellent effect that a stable loop shape can be obtained because the elongation can be made stable while having high strength.
