Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bonding wire which can maintain the workability of bonding even when the gold content is reduced, and is hard to be deformed by a sealing resin. <P>SOLUTION: This bonding wire is made of two extremely fine gold wires having a prescribed diameter bonded in parallel, or made of an extremely fine gold wire and an extremely fine gold alloy wire having a prescribed diameter bonded in parallel, or the bonding wire has an elliptical shape in its cross section having the longest diameter of 50 μm or less. When the bonding wire is used, the direction of the longest diameter 1 is made to meet with the flow-in direction of a resin for sealing with the resin, thereby reducing the needed amount of gold while maintaining the strength of the bonding wire. Hence, resource saving and cost reduction are made possible. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は半導体装置の組立に用いられるボンディングワイヤーに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
半導体装置を組み立てるに際してリードフレーム等のダイ部にICチップを搭載し、ICチップの電極とリードフレーム等の電極とをボンディングワイヤーにより結線し、樹脂封止している。用いられるボンディングワイヤーは、電気特性、加工性などから純度99.99%の金を所望径になるまで伸線加工して作成されている。
【0003】
近年、経済環境や環境問題から省資源化が強く要求されている。また、半導体装置の実装密度の高密度化に伴い線径の細いボンディングワイヤーが求められ、検討されている。線径を細くするとボンディングワイヤーの強度が低下する。このため、ICチップとリードフレーム等とを結線した後の封止工程で、流し込まれる封止樹脂でボンディングワイヤーが封止樹脂の流れ方向に流されて隣に張られた金線と接触することが起きる。こうした不良をショート不良率というが、細線化が進めば進むほどショート不良率が高くなる(特許文献1 段落0003 上から6〜8行目参照)。
【0004】
こうした問題を解消するために、ボンディングワイヤー材料である金に不純物を添加し、得られるボンディングワイヤーの強度や硬度を高くすることが行われている(特許文献1 段落0006〜0007参照)。
【0005】
しかし、強度や硬度が高くなると、ボンディング作業性の低下、ボンディングワイヤーの電気特性が使用目的の限界に近づくと行った問題が起きる。
【0006】
【特許文献1】
特開平8−293514
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明はこうした問題を回避しうる細線化されたボンディングワイヤーの提供を目的とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決する本第一の発明は、所望径の金極細線を二本並列して接合させたことを特徴とするボンディングワイヤーであり、その最長径が50μm以下のものである。
【0009】
また、本第二の発明は、所望径の金極細線と金合金極細線とを並列して接合させたことを特徴とするボンディングワイヤーであり、その最長径が50μm以下のものである。
【0010】
そして、本第三の発明はその断面が楕円形であり、その最長径が50μm以下のものである。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明では、図1に示したようにボンディングワイヤーの断面形状を二連球、あるいは楕円とし、最長径1の方向と樹脂封止時の樹脂の流入方向2とを一致させることによりボンディングワイヤーの強度を維持しつつ、必要とされる金量を削減する。持って、省資源化、低コスト化を可能とする。
【0012】
上記細線化に伴う問題点は断面が円形のボンディングワイヤーの場合、その直径が30μmを切ると顕著化する。直径が30μmの極細線を二本並列して接合させた場合、その最長径は60μmとなる。よって、その最長径が50μm以下のボンディングワイヤー、すなわち一本のボンディングワイヤーの直径が25μm以下のものを二本並列して接合したものに対して本発明は好適である。
【0013】
本第一および第二の発明は、所望径の金極細線を二本、あるいは金極細線と金合金極細線とを並列して相互に接合させたものである。そして、得られたボンディングワイヤーの最長径を50μm以下とする。こうした略二連玉型の断面を有するボンディングワイヤーを用いるに際して、最長径の方向と封止樹脂の流れ込み方向とを略一致させることにより、ボンディングワイヤーが流入する封止樹脂により受ける圧力に対抗する力を、最長径を直径とする断面が円形のボンディングワイヤーの2倍程度に高めることが可能である。
【0014】
本第一及び第二の発明のボンディングワイヤーを製造するに際して、まず所望径の1/2径の金極細線や金合金極細線を伸線加工により得る。この伸線加工では、通常ダイヤモンドダイスを連続的に通すことにより行う。その後、得られた所望の極細線を二本接触させた状態で熱処理炉を通す。こうすることにより二本の極細線は容易に接合し本発明のボンディングワイヤーとなる。
【0015】
なお、熱処理温度は通常の選択基準で選択すれば良く、特に接合させるために温度を選定する必要はない。
【0016】
本第三の発明はその断面が楕円形であり、その最長径が50μm以下のものである。こうしたボンディングワイヤーを得るには、用いるダイスの開口部形状を楕円とすれば良い。こうした楕円の断面を有するボンディングワイヤーを用いるに際して、最長径の方向と封止樹脂の流れ込み方向とを略一致させることにより、ボンディングワイヤーが流入する封止樹脂により受ける圧力に対抗する力を、最長径を直径とする断面が円形の従来のボンディングワイヤーより大きく高めることが可能である。なお、本第三の発明は、金極細線、あるいは金合金極細線の双方に適用できる。
【0017】
【実施例】
次に実施例を用いて本発明をさらに説明する。
(実施例1)
純度99.99%の金を溶解して棒状のインゴットを作成した。このインゴットを伸線加工して線径20μmの金極細線を得た。次に、この金極細線を二本並べて接触させつつ450℃の熱処理炉内を線速度50m/minで通過させて熱処理した。このようにして本発明の二連玉型の断面を有する本第一の発明のボンディングワイヤーを得た。なお、本ボンディングワイヤーの最長径は40μmとなっていた。
【0018】
次に、400ピンのリードフレームのダイ部にICチップを半田付けして搭載し、リードフレームのリード部電極部とICチップ表面電極部とを上記ボンディングワイヤーを用いて接続した。この際、ボンディングワイヤーの最長径の方向と後工程の樹脂封止時に樹脂が流れ込む方向とが一致するようにボンディングした。
【0019】
次いで、ICチップ及びボンディング部を覆う型を取り付け、内部に封止樹脂(住友ベークライト社製 商品名 EME−7752A)を流し込み、封止した。その後、得られた100個の半導体装置それぞれのワイヤーボンディング部にX線を当てて透過写真を撮り、ワイヤーの流れ状況を観察した。更に、導通試験を行いショート欠陥の有無を求めた。
【0020】
本例ではいずれの半導体装置のワイヤー湾曲部においても、僅かに封止樹脂の圧力で流された部分が確認できたものの、ショート欠陥は検出されなかった。
【0021】
(実施例2)
純度99.99%の金と下記組成の金合金とを、それぞれ溶解して棒状のインゴットを作成した。このインゴットを伸線加工して線径20μmの金極細線と金合金極細線とを得た。次に、金極細線と金合金極細線とを二本並べて接触させつつ450℃の熱処理炉内を線速度50m/minで通過させて熱処理した。このようにして本第二の発明の二連玉型断面を有するボンディングワイヤーを得た。なお、本ボンディングワイヤーの最長径は40μmとなっていた。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bonding wire used for assembling a semiconductor device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When assembling a semiconductor device, an IC chip is mounted on a die portion such as a lead frame, and an electrode of the IC chip and an electrode such as a lead frame are connected by a bonding wire and sealed with resin. The bonding wire used is made by drawing a 99.99% pure gold wire to a desired diameter in view of electrical characteristics and workability.
[0003]
In recent years, there has been a strong demand for resource saving from the economic environment and environmental problems. In addition, as the mounting density of semiconductor devices is increased, a bonding wire having a thin wire diameter is required and studied. If the wire diameter is reduced, the strength of the bonding wire is reduced. For this reason, in the sealing process after connecting the IC chip and the lead frame, etc., the bonding wire is made to flow in the flow direction of the sealing resin with the poured sealing resin and comes into contact with the adjacent gold wire Happens. Such a defect is referred to as a short-circuit defect rate, and the short-circuit defect rate becomes higher as the thinning progresses (see paragraphs 6 to 8 on the top of Patent Document 1, paragraph 0003).
[0004]
In order to solve such a problem, an impurity is added to gold, which is a bonding wire material, to increase the strength and hardness of the resulting bonding wire (see paragraphs 0006 to 0007 of Patent Document 1).
[0005]
However, when the strength and hardness are increased, the bonding workability is deteriorated, and the problems caused when the electric characteristics of the bonding wire approach the limit of the intended use occur.
[0006]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-8-293514
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a thinned bonding wire that can avoid such problems.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The first invention for solving the above-mentioned problem is a bonding wire characterized in that two gold fine wires having a desired diameter are joined in parallel, and has a longest diameter of 50 μm or less.
[0009]
The second invention is a bonding wire characterized by bonding a gold fine wire having a desired diameter and a gold alloy fine wire in parallel, and has a longest diameter of 50 μm or less.
[0010]
The third aspect of the present invention has an elliptical cross section and a longest diameter of 50 μm or less.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the cross-sectional shape of the bonding wire is a double ball or an ellipse, and the direction of the longest diameter 1 and the inflow direction 2 of the resin at the time of resin sealing are made to coincide with each other. Reduce the amount of gold needed while maintaining strength. Therefore, resource saving and cost reduction are possible.
[0012]
In the case of a bonding wire having a circular cross section, the problem associated with the above-mentioned thinning becomes noticeable when the diameter is less than 30 μm. When two ultrafine wires having a diameter of 30 μm are joined in parallel, the longest diameter is 60 μm. Therefore, the present invention is suitable for a bonding wire having a longest diameter of 50 μm or less, that is, one in which two bonding wires having a diameter of 25 μm or less are joined in parallel.
[0013]
In the first and second inventions, two gold fine wires having a desired diameter, or a gold fine wire and a gold alloy fine wire are connected in parallel to each other. And the longest diameter of the obtained bonding wire shall be 50 micrometers or less. When using such a bonding wire having a substantially double ball-shaped cross section, the force that opposes the pressure received by the sealing resin into which the bonding wire flows is obtained by making the direction of the longest diameter substantially coincide with the flow direction of the sealing resin. The cross section with the longest diameter as the diameter can be increased to about twice that of the circular bonding wire.
[0014]
In manufacturing the bonding wires of the first and second inventions, first, a gold ultrafine wire or a gold alloy ultrafine wire having a desired diameter of 1/2 is obtained by wire drawing. This wire drawing is usually performed by continuously passing a diamond die. Then, it passes through the heat treatment furnace in a state where two desired fine wires obtained are in contact with each other. By doing so, the two extra fine wires are easily joined to form the bonding wire of the present invention.
[0015]
Note that the heat treatment temperature may be selected according to a normal selection criterion, and it is not necessary to select a temperature particularly for bonding.
[0016]
The third invention has an elliptical cross section and a longest diameter of 50 μm or less. In order to obtain such a bonding wire, the shape of the opening of the die used may be an ellipse. When using a bonding wire having such an elliptical cross section, the longest diameter and the flow direction of the sealing resin are made to substantially coincide with each other. It is possible to increase the cross section with a diameter larger than that of a conventional bonding wire having a circular shape. The third invention can be applied to both the gold fine wire and the gold alloy fine wire.
[0017]
【Example】
Next, the present invention will be further described using examples.
Example 1
A bar-shaped ingot was prepared by dissolving gold having a purity of 99.99%. The ingot was drawn to obtain a gold fine wire having a wire diameter of 20 μm. Next, heat treatment was performed by passing the gold fine wires through a 450 ° C. heat treatment furnace at a linear velocity of 50 m / min while being in contact with each other. In this way, the bonding wire of the first invention having the cross section of the double ball shape of the present invention was obtained. The longest diameter of the bonding wire was 40 μm.
[0018]
Next, the IC chip was soldered and mounted on the die part of the 400-pin lead frame, and the lead part electrode part of the lead frame and the IC chip surface electrode part were connected using the bonding wire. At this time, the bonding was performed such that the direction of the longest diameter of the bonding wire coincided with the direction in which the resin flowed during resin sealing in a subsequent process.
[0019]
Next, a mold that covers the IC chip and the bonding part was attached, and a sealing resin (trade name EME-7752A manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.) was poured into the mold and sealed. Thereafter, a transmission photograph was taken by applying X-rays to the wire bonding portions of each of the 100 obtained semiconductor devices, and the flow state of the wires was observed. Further, a continuity test was performed to determine the presence or absence of a short defect.
[0020]
In this example, in the wire bending portion of any of the semiconductor devices, although a portion that was slightly swept by the pressure of the sealing resin could be confirmed, no short-circuit defect was detected.
[0021]
(Example 2)
Gold having a purity of 99.99% and a gold alloy having the following composition were respectively melted to form a rod-shaped ingot. The ingot was drawn to obtain a gold fine wire and a gold alloy fine wire having a wire diameter of 20 μm. Next, heat treatment was carried out by passing through a 450 ° C. heat treatment furnace at a linear velocity of 50 m / min while two fine gold wires and two fine gold alloy wires were in contact with each other. In this way, a bonding wire having a double ball section of the second invention was obtained. The longest diameter of the bonding wire was 40 μm.
[0022]

Next, the IC chip was soldered and mounted on the die part of the 400-pin lead frame, and the lead part electrode part of the lead frame and the IC chip surface electrode part were connected using the bonding wire. At this time, the bonding was performed such that the direction of the longest diameter of the bonding wire coincided with the direction in which the resin flowed during resin sealing in a subsequent process.
[0023]
Next, a mold that covers the IC chip and the bonding part was attached, and a sealing resin (trade name EME-7752A manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.) was poured into the mold and sealed. Thereafter, a transmission photograph was taken by applying X-rays to the wire bonding portions of each of the 100 obtained semiconductor devices, and the flow state of the wires was observed. Further, a continuity test was performed to determine the presence or absence of a short defect.
[0024]
In this example, the wire flow of the wire bending portion was negligible in any semiconductor device, and no short defect was detected.
[0025]
Example 3
A bar-shaped ingot was prepared by dissolving gold having a purity of 99.99%. This ingot was drawn to obtain a gold fine wire having a longest diameter of 40 μm. At this time, wire drawing was performed using a diamond die having an elliptical opening portion of major axis / minor axis = 2. Next, this fine gold wire was heat-treated by passing it through a 450 ° C. heat treatment furnace at a linear velocity of 50 m / min. Thus, a bonding wire having an elliptical cross section according to the third invention was obtained.
[0026]
Next, the IC chip was soldered and mounted on the die part of the 400-pin lead frame, and the lead part electrode part of the lead frame and the IC chip surface electrode part were connected using the bonding wire. At this time, the bonding was performed such that the direction of the longest diameter of the bonding wire coincided with the direction in which the resin flowed during resin sealing in a subsequent process.
[0027]
Next, a mold that covers the IC chip and the bonding part was attached, and a sealing resin (trade name EME-7752A manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.) was poured into the mold and sealed. Thereafter, a transmission photograph was taken by applying X-rays to the wire bonding portions of each of the 100 obtained semiconductor devices, and the flow state of the wires was observed. Further, a continuity test was performed to determine the presence or absence of a short defect.
[0028]
In this example, a short-circuit defect was not detected although a slight portion of the wire bending portion of the semiconductor device was swept by the pressure of the sealing resin.
[0029]
(Example 4)
A bar-shaped ingot was prepared by dissolving gold having a purity of 99.99%. The ingot was drawn to obtain a gold fine wire having a circular section of 21 μm in diameter (having the same cross-sectional area as the bonding wires of Examples 1 and 2). Next, heat treatment was performed by passing the gold fine wires through a 450 ° C. heat treatment furnace at a linear velocity of 50 m / min while being in contact with each other. In this way, a bonding wire having a double ball section of the second invention was obtained.
[0030]
Next, the IC chip was soldered and mounted on the die part of the 400-pin lead frame, and the lead part electrode part of the lead frame and the IC chip surface electrode part were connected using the bonding wire. At this time, the bonding was performed such that the direction of the longest diameter of the bonding wire coincided with the direction in which the resin flowed during resin sealing in a subsequent process.
[0031]
Next, a mold that covers the IC chip and the bonding part was attached, and a sealing resin (trade name EME-7752A manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.) was poured into the mold and sealed. Thereafter, a transmission photograph was taken by applying X-rays to the wire bonding portions of each of the 100 obtained semiconductor devices, and the flow state of the wires was observed. Further, a continuity test was performed to determine the presence or absence of a short defect.
[0032]
In this example, in any of the semiconductor devices, although a portion of the curved portion of the wire that was flowed by the pressure of the sealing resin was slightly observed, no short-circuit defect was observed.
[0033]
(Comparative Example 1)
A bar-shaped ingot was prepared by dissolving gold having a purity of 99.99%. The ingot was drawn to obtain an ultrafine gold wire having a circular cross section with a wire diameter of 30 μm. Next, this wire drawing was heat-treated by passing through a 450 ° C. heat treatment furnace at a linear velocity of 50 m / min. In this way, a conventional bonding wire was obtained.
[0034]
Next, the IC chip was soldered and mounted on the die part of the 400-pin lead frame, and the lead part electrode part of the lead frame and the IC chip surface electrode part were connected using the bonding wire.
[0035]
Next, a mold that covers the IC chip and the bonding part was attached, and a sealing resin (trade name EME-7752A manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.) was poured into the mold and sealed. Thereafter, a transmission photograph was taken by applying X-rays to the wire bonding portions of each of the 100 obtained semiconductor devices, and the flow state of the wires was observed. Further, a continuity test was performed to determine the presence or absence of a short defect.
[0036]
In this example, the wire bending portion flowed considerably in any semiconductor device, and eight short defects were detected.
[0037]
【The invention's effect】
In the first and second inventions, two fine gold wires having a diameter of 1/2, or a gold fine wire and a gold alloy fine wire are connected to each other in parallel to form a substantially double ball having a desired longest diameter. A bonding wire having a cross section of a mold. When using this, by making the direction of the longest diameter and the flow direction of the sealing resin substantially coincide, the force against the inflowing sealing resin is larger than the bonding wire having the longest diameter as the diameter and the cross-sectional shape being circular. Can be increased.
[0038]
The third invention has an elliptical cross section. When using such a bonding wire, the direction of the longest diameter and the flow direction of the sealing resin are made to substantially coincide with each other, so that the force that opposes the sealing resin flowing in is the diameter of the longest diameter and the cross-sectional shape is a circular bonding wire. Can be greatly increased.
[0039]
As can be seen from the above, in the present invention, in the bonding wire, the cross-sectional shape of the bonding wire is a double ball or an ellipse, and the inflow of the sealing resin by matching the direction of the longest diameter with the inflow direction of the resin at the time of resin sealing The required amount of gold can be reduced while maintaining the strength against pressure. That is, resource saving and cost reduction are possible.
