Abstract
Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、半導体チップ上の電極に導電ワイヤーをウェッジボンディングする方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年の半導体装置においては、電磁ノイズの影響を考慮して図3のように導電ワイヤーに被覆を施す場合がある。この被覆は、金属導体からなる導電ワイヤー11を絶縁層12で被覆し、更に、これらを金属導体層13で被覆するという多層構造のものである。ここで、金属導体層13は、外部からの電磁ノイズの電磁シールドとして機能するものであり、アルミニウム合金、金合金等よりなるものが一般的である。また、絶縁層は、金属導体層13と導電ワイヤー11とを絶縁するためのものであるが、酸化ケイ素の他、各種樹脂等の絶縁性材料よりなる。
【0003】
従来の導電ワイヤーの接合及びその被覆の手法としては、まず、導電ワイヤーを電極31に接合した後に電極ごと被覆することが多い。また、導電ワイヤーの接合方法については、ろう付け法も適用できるが、より微小な接合部を形成するために、超音波振動を印加することにより摩擦圧接をおこなうウェッジボンディング法が適用されることが多い。そして、導電ワイヤーと電極とを接合後、CVD法、スパッタ法等の薄膜形成技術により絶縁層及び金属導体層を順次形成して被覆を行っている。
【0004】
【特許文献1】特開平6−120286号公報
【0005】
しかしながら、かかる被覆工程を経た手法では、工程増のため製造コストの上昇の原因となる。また、影となる部分への被覆が困難となり、品質的にも安定的ではない。
【0006】
これに対する他の方法としては、予め導電ワイヤーに絶縁層、導電体層の被覆がなされ、同軸構造を有する同軸ボンディングワイヤーを用いる方法がある。特許文献2は、同軸構造を有する半導体接続用同軸ボンディングワイヤーを開示するものである。
【0007】
【特許文献2】特開平5−211194号公報
【0008】
この同軸ボンディングワイヤーの適用は、ワイヤー被覆の不均一さを防止する上では有効なものである。しかしながら、この同軸ボンディングワイヤーを用いる方法についても問題がある。即ち、かかる同軸ボンディングワイヤーを適用する場合には接合前に、いわゆる「皮むき」を行う必要があるため、予め適宜の切断装置を用いて同軸ボンディングワイヤー先端の金属導体層、又は、金属導体層及び絶縁層を除去した後接合工程に供することとなるために、作業が煩雑となる。
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで、本発明では、同軸ボンディングワイヤーを適用しつつ、より簡便な方法で接合が可能な方法を提供することを目的とした。

【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者等は、鋭意検討を行ない、同軸ボンディングワイヤー先端部の金属導体層、又は、金属導体層及び絶縁層を溶融させて除去することによりより接合工程を簡易にできると考えた。そして、同軸ボンディングワイヤーの最外層を導電性金属で形成していることに着目し、同軸ボンディングワイヤー先端部の金属導体層、又は、金属導体層及び絶縁層を溶融させるための手法として、アーク放電による溶融除去に想到し本発明を完成させた。
【0011】
即ち、本発明は、金属導体からなる導電ワイヤー、該導電ワイヤーを被覆する絶縁層、該絶縁層を更に被覆する金属導体層からなる同軸ボンディングワイヤーを、半導体基板上の電極上にウェッジボンディング法により接合する方法であって、同軸ボンディングワイヤー先端部に電極トーチを対向配置し、前記同軸ボンディングワイヤー先端部と電極トーチとの間にアークを発生させ、前記同軸ボンディングワイヤーの先端部の金属導体層、又は、金属導体層及び絶縁層を溶融、除去させた後、ウェッジボンディングする半導体接続用同軸ボンディングワイヤーのボンディング方法である。
【0012】
ここで、本発明において溶融による金属導体層等の除去を行なうこととしたのは、皮むきのように切断による物理的な除去よりも短時間で除去が可能であることによる。また、溶融をアーク放電により行なうこととしたのは、その装置としては、電気トーチ(電極)と外部電極のみであり、ボンディング装置内への組み込みが可能であり、同軸ボンディングワイヤー先端部の溶融と接合とを連続的に行なうことができ効率的な接合が可能であることに着目したことによる。更に、電流条件によりアークの状態を制御することができるため、溶融させる金属導体層等の溶融量を調整することができる点にも着目したことによる。
【0013】
本発明に係る方法につき、その工程を詳細に説明すると図1のようになる。図1(a)は、接合前の同軸ボンディングワイヤーの外観図である。この同軸ボンディングワイヤーは、芯材となる導電ワイヤー11と、最外層の金属導体層12と、両者を絶縁する絶縁層13とからなる。
【0014】
接合に際しては、まず、この同軸ボンディングワイヤー10をボンディングツール20にセットする(図1(b))。尚、図1のボンディングツール20は、同軸ボンディングワイヤー10を貫通させこれを固定することができるようになっているが、本発明はこのような形状のボンディングツールに特に限定するものではない。接合する電極面に当接し、超音波振動の印加面を備えるものであれば良い。但し、図1のボンディングツールのように、ボンディングツールと同軸ボンディングワイヤーとの接触を考慮すれば、ボンディングツールは絶縁材料よりなるものが好ましい。本発明でボンディングツールとして、利用可能な絶縁材料としては、例えば、アルミナ、ルビー等が挙げられる。
【0015】
同軸ボンディングワイヤーのセットが完了したら、電気トーチ21を同軸ボンディングワイヤーに対向するように配置する(図1(c))。電気トーチ21は図示せぬ給電装置に接続されている。また、同軸ボンディングワイヤーも給電装置と通電しており、例えば、同軸ボンディングワイヤーの供給のためのクランパーと給電装置とを通電接続することにより、同軸ボンディングワイヤーに通電できるようにする。そして、同軸ボンディングワイヤー10と電気トーチ21との間にアーク22を生じさせる。この際の放電条件としては、同軸ボンディングワイヤーの金属導体層の厚さにもよるが、電圧1500〜2500V、電流10〜300mAとし、時間を1.0〜30msecの範囲が好ましい。
【0016】
アーク放電により、金属導体層が溶融するが、この際の放電条件によっては、金属導体層のみを溶融させることもできるが、金属導体層の溶融時の熱を利用して絶縁体層も同時に溶融させることも可能である。金属導体層のみを溶融させ絶縁層を残留させても、電極へウェッジボンディングする際には、印加した超音波振動により絶縁層は剥離するため接合に不都合は生じない。但し、絶縁層剥離の際に生じるスラッジが電極上に残留する場合があることを考慮すれば、絶縁層も溶融除去した方が好ましいといえる。尚、溶融した金属導体層は表面張力により同軸ボンディングワイヤーの未溶融の金属導体層部分に巻き込まれ、電極、半導体チップへの落下は生じない。
【0017】
アーク放電により導電ワイヤー11を露出させた後(図1(d))、電気トーチ21を退去させ、そのまま同軸ボンディングワイヤー10の導電ワイヤー11をボンディングツール20により半導体チップ30上の電極31に当接する。そして、超音波振動を印加しつつ押圧することにより接合が完了する。このボンディングの際は室温下で行っても良いが、昇温下(150〜250℃)でボンディングした方が接合強度を向上させることができる。
【0018】
以上の工程により、電極上に同軸ボンディングワイヤーを接合することができ、これらを繰り返すことにより複数箇所の接合が可能となる。
【0019】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の好適な実施形態を説明する。
【0020】
本実施形態では、まず、同軸ボンディングワイヤーを製造した。直径1.00mmの金線(4N)の表面にフッ素樹脂膜を厚さ0.2mm形成した。フッ素樹脂膜は、400℃に加熱した炉内で金線に樹脂粉末を吹きつけることにより形成した。そして、フッ素樹脂膜で被覆した金線を内径1.4mm、外径2.0mmの金−5重量%銀合金からなるパイプに挿入して素線とした。次に、この素線につき、ドローベンチによる伸線と200℃の熱処理とを数回繰り返し、外径60μmとなったところでボンディング用同軸ボンディングワイヤーとした。
【0021】
このときの同軸ボンディングワイヤーを断面観察したところ、中心の導電ワイヤーの直径は30μm、絶縁層であるフッ素樹脂膜の厚さは約5μmであった。
【0022】
このようにして製造した同軸ボンディングワイヤーを用いて半導体チップ上の電極(アルミニウム電極)への接合を行った。このときのウエッジボンディングツールは、形状は図1のものと同じであり、材質はアルミナ製のものを用いた。接合手順は、図1に関して説明した工程と同様である。本実施形態においてアーク放電条件は、電圧2100V、電流を100mA、放電時間5msecとした。放電の結果、最外層の金属導電層、絶縁層が溶解、除去され導電ワイヤーが露出したところで、導電ワイヤーを電極上にボンディングツールで押圧し、同時に超音波を印加して接合を完了した。接合面に欠陥はなく、また、接合強度も十分なものであった。
【0023】
本実施形態では、図2のように、同軸ボンディングワイヤー10と電極31とを接合後、更に、電極31及び露出した導電ワイヤー11を絶縁樹脂40で被覆し、絶縁樹脂40を更に金属ペースト41で被覆し、金属導体層13と半導体基板上のグランド32とを電気的に接続した。これにより、同軸ボンディングワイヤー10の受けるノイズによる電気信号をグラウンド32へアースし、電極31へのノイズ浸入をより確実に抑制している。
【0024】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、導電ワイヤーに絶縁層、金属導体層を被覆した同軸ボンディングワイヤーを電極に接合する際に、皮むき工程を経ることなく直接的に接合することができ、効率的なボンディングが可能となる。また、本発明によれば、予め被覆がなされたワイヤーを接合することから、ワイヤーの被覆の不均一さもなく良好な品質の半導体装置を製造することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method of wedge bonding a conductive wire to an electrode on a semiconductor chip.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent semiconductor devices, a conductive wire may be coated as shown in FIG. 3 in consideration of the influence of electromagnetic noise. This coating has a multilayer structure in which a

[0004]
[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-120286
However, the technique that has undergone such a coating process causes an increase in manufacturing cost due to an increase in the number of processes. Further, it is difficult to cover the shadowed portion, and the quality is not stable.
[0006]
As another method for this, there is a method of using a coaxial bonding wire having a coaxial structure in which a conductive wire is previously coated with an insulating layer and a conductive layer. Patent Document 2 discloses a coaxial bonding wire for semiconductor connection having a coaxial structure.
[0007]
[Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-21194
The application of the coaxial bonding wire is effective in preventing non-uniformity of the wire coating. However, there is a problem with the method using this coaxial bonding wire. That is, when such a coaxial bonding wire is applied, it is necessary to perform so-called “peeling” before joining. Therefore, a metal conductor layer at the tip of the coaxial bonding wire or a metal conductor layer using an appropriate cutting device in advance. And since it will use for a joining process after removing an insulating layer, work will become complicated.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of joining by a simpler method while applying a coaxial bonding wire.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventors have conducted intensive studies and thought that the joining process can be simplified by melting and removing the metal conductor layer or the metal conductor layer and the insulating layer at the tip of the coaxial bonding wire. Focusing on the fact that the outermost layer of the coaxial bonding wire is formed of a conductive metal, arc discharge as a technique for melting the metal conductor layer at the tip of the coaxial bonding wire, or the metal conductor layer and the insulating layer. As a result, the present invention was completed.
[0011]
That is, the present invention provides a conductive wire made of a metal conductor, an insulating layer covering the conductive wire, and a coaxial bonding wire made of a metal conductor layer further covering the insulating layer by a wedge bonding method on an electrode on a semiconductor substrate. A method of bonding, wherein an electrode torch is disposed opposite to a coaxial bonding wire tip, an arc is generated between the coaxial bonding wire tip and the electrode torch, and a metal conductor layer at a tip of the coaxial bonding wire, Or it is the bonding method of the coaxial bonding wire for semiconductor connection which carries out wedge bonding, after melting and removing a metal conductor layer and an insulating layer.
[0012]
Here, the reason why the metal conductor layer or the like is removed by melting in the present invention is that the removal can be performed in a shorter time than the physical removal by cutting, such as peeling. In addition, it was decided that the melting was performed by arc discharge only as an electric torch (electrode) and an external electrode, which can be incorporated into the bonding apparatus, This is due to the fact that the joining can be performed continuously and efficient joining is possible. Furthermore, since the state of the arc can be controlled according to the current condition, it is because the amount of melting of the metal conductor layer to be melted can be adjusted.
[0013]
The process according to the present invention will be described in detail as shown in FIG. Fig.1 (a) is an external view of the coaxial bonding wire before joining. The coaxial bonding wire includes a

Although the metal conductor layer is melted by arc discharge, depending on the discharge conditions, only the metal conductor layer can be melted, but the insulator layer is also melted at the same time using the heat generated when the metal conductor layer is melted. It is also possible to make it. Even when only the metal conductor layer is melted and the insulating layer is left, when the wedge bonding is performed to the electrode, the insulating layer is peeled off by the applied ultrasonic vibration, so that there is no inconvenience in bonding. However, it can be said that the insulating layer is preferably melted and removed in consideration of the fact that sludge generated when the insulating layer is peeled may remain on the electrode. The molten metal conductor layer is wound around the unmelted metal conductor layer portion of the coaxial bonding wire due to surface tension, and does not drop onto the electrode or the semiconductor chip.

Through the above steps, a coaxial bonding wire can be bonded onto the electrode, and by repeating these steps, a plurality of points can be bonded.
[0019]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.
[0020]
In this embodiment, first, a coaxial bonding wire was manufactured. A fluororesin film having a thickness of 0.2 mm was formed on the surface of a gold wire (4N) having a diameter of 1.00 mm. The fluororesin film was formed by spraying resin powder on a gold wire in a furnace heated to 400 ° C. Then, a gold wire covered with a fluororesin film was inserted into a pipe made of a gold-5 wt% silver alloy having an inner diameter of 1.4 mm and an outer diameter of 2.0 mm to obtain a strand. Next, with respect to this strand, drawing with a draw bench and heat treatment at 200 ° C. were repeated several times, and a coaxial bonding wire for bonding was formed when the outer diameter reached 60 μm.
[0021]
When the cross section of the coaxial bonding wire at this time was observed, the diameter of the central conductive wire was 30 μm, and the thickness of the fluororesin film as the insulating layer was about 5 μm.
[0022]
The coaxial bonding wire thus manufactured was used for bonding to an electrode (aluminum electrode) on the semiconductor chip. The wedge bonding tool at this time has the same shape as that shown in FIG. 1 and is made of alumina. The joining procedure is the same as that described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the arc discharge conditions are a voltage of 2100 V, a current of 100 mA, and a discharge time of 5 msec. As a result of the discharge, when the outermost metal conductive layer and insulating layer were dissolved and removed and the conductive wire was exposed, the conductive wire was pressed onto the electrode with a bonding tool, and at the same time, ultrasonic waves were applied to complete the bonding. There were no defects on the bonding surface, and the bonding strength was sufficient.
[0023]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, after the
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, when a coaxial bonding wire covering a conductive wire with an insulating layer and a metal conductor layer is bonded to an electrode, it can be directly bonded without passing through a peeling process. Efficient bonding is possible. Further, according to the present invention, since the wires that have been coated in advance are joined, a semiconductor device of good quality can be manufactured without non-uniformity of the coating of the wires.
