Abstract
Description
本発明は、半導体素子の実装方法に関し、特に半導体素子の実装にあたってのスタッドバンプの形成やワイヤボンディングによる接合方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for mounting a semiconductor element, and more particularly to a method for forming a stud bump and mounting by wire bonding when mounting a semiconductor element.
従来では、上記スタッドバンプの形成やワイヤボンディングによる接合を行う際には、たとえば特許文献1で示されるように、ワイヤをスパークして形成したスパークボールを、200℃程度に加熱した半導体素子に、超音波を加えながら押圧することで接合が行われている。これは、通常、金バンプと半導体素子のアルミ電極との接合は、150℃以下では良好に行えないためである。
しかしながら、上述の従来技術では、半導体素子に加わる熱や超音波がストレスとなり、半導体素子の特性を損なう可能性がある。具体的には、たとえばMEMS(Micro Electro Mechanical Systems)チップに超音波を掛けると、微細な三次元構造の部分が破損してしまう。また、高温を掛けると、特性が変化してしまう。 However, in the above-described prior art, heat and ultrasonic waves applied to the semiconductor element may be stressed and may impair the characteristics of the semiconductor element. Specifically, for example, when an ultrasonic wave is applied to a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) chip, a fine three-dimensional structure portion is damaged. In addition, the characteristics change when a high temperature is applied.
本発明の目的は、実装にあたっての半導体素子へのストレスを軽減することができる半導体素子の実装方法を提供することである。 An object of the present invention is to provide a method of mounting a semiconductor element that can reduce stress on the semiconductor element during mounting.
本発明の半導体素子の実装方法は、半導体素子の実装にあたって、電極上に金属ボールを固着するための方法において、前記電極の表面を活性化させる工程と、前記金属ボールの結晶粒を大径化させる工程と、前記金属ボールを前記電極の表面に押圧して接合する工程とを含むことを特徴とする。 The method for mounting a semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a step of activating the surface of the electrode and a method for enlarging the crystal grains of the metal ball in a method for fixing a metal ball on the electrode when mounting the semiconductor device. And a step of pressing and joining the metal balls to the surface of the electrode.
上記の構成によれば、半導体素子の実装のためのスタッドバンプの形成やワイヤボンディングによる接合を行うにあたって、電極上に金属ボールを固着するための方法において、前記電極の表面にプラズマを照射するなどして該表面を活性化させる工程、およびワイヤ先端部をスパークして前記金属ボールを形成する際に、スパーク電圧やスパーク電流を調整するなどして前記の結晶粒を大径化して軟らかくする工程を、いずれかを先にして順次に、または平行して行い、その後、前記金属ボールを前記電極の表面に押圧して接合することで、スパークから瞬時に形成されてしまう前記金属ボール表面の酸化膜や付着物による殻を破り、該金属ボールの新生面を露出させ、電極の新生面と一体化させる。 According to the above configuration, when forming a stud bump for mounting a semiconductor element or bonding by wire bonding, in a method for fixing a metal ball on an electrode, the surface of the electrode is irradiated with plasma, etc. And the step of activating the surface, and the step of making the crystal grains larger and softening by adjusting the spark voltage and the spark current when the metal ball is formed by sparking the wire tip. Are performed either sequentially or in parallel, and then the metal ball is pressed against the surface of the electrode and joined to form an oxidation of the surface of the metal ball instantaneously formed from the spark. A shell formed of a film or a deposit is broken, and the new surface of the metal ball is exposed and integrated with the new surface of the electrode.
したがって、スタッドバンプを形成したり、ワイヤボンディングを行うにあたって、金属ボールの電極への接合に、熱や超音波を加える必要はなく、実装にあたっての半導体素子へのストレスを軽減することができる。これによって、半導体素子およびそれを実装して成る半導体モジュールなどの半導体装置の信頼性を向上することができる。 Therefore, when forming stud bumps or performing wire bonding, it is not necessary to apply heat or ultrasonic waves to the bonding of the metal balls to the electrodes, and the stress on the semiconductor element during mounting can be reduced. Thereby, the reliability of the semiconductor device such as the semiconductor element and the semiconductor module formed by mounting the semiconductor element can be improved.
また、本発明の半導体素子の実装方法では、前記半導体素子は、MEMSチップであることを特徴とする。 In the semiconductor element mounting method of the present invention, the semiconductor element is a MEMS chip.
上記の構成によれば、超音波や熱に弱い上記MEMSチップには、本発明が特に効果的である。 According to the above configuration, the present invention is particularly effective for the MEMS chip that is sensitive to ultrasonic waves and heat.
さらにまた、本発明の半導体素子の実装方法は、前記電極の表面および金属ボールを金で形成することを特徴とする。 Furthermore, the semiconductor element mounting method of the present invention is characterized in that the surface of the electrode and the metal ball are formed of gold.
上記の構成によれば、接合強度をより高めることができる。 According to said structure, joint strength can be raised more.
また、本発明の半導体素子の実装方法は、前記接合の工程を、還元ガス雰囲気中で行うことを特徴とする。 The semiconductor element mounting method of the present invention is characterized in that the bonding step is performed in a reducing gas atmosphere.

本発明の半導体素子の実装方法は、以上のように、半導体素子の実装のためのスタッドバンプの形成やワイヤボンディングによる接合を行うにあたって、電極上に金属ボールを固着するための方法において、前記電極の表面にプラズマを照射するなどして、該表面を活性化させる工程、およびワイヤ先端部をスパークして前記金属ボールを形成する際に、スパーク電圧やスパーク電流を調整するなどして前記の結晶粒を大径化して軟らかくする工程を、いずれかを先にして順次に、または平行して行い、その後、前記金属ボールを前記電極の表面に押圧して接合することで、スパークから瞬時に形成されてしまう前記金属ボール表面の酸化膜や付着物による殻を破り、該金属ボールの新生面を露出させ、電極の新生面と一体化させる。 As described above, the method for mounting a semiconductor element according to the present invention includes a method for fixing a metal ball on an electrode when forming a stud bump for mounting a semiconductor element or bonding by wire bonding. The crystal is formed by adjusting a spark voltage or a spark current when the metal ball is formed by irradiating the surface of the surface with plasma and activating the surface, and forming the metal ball by sparking the tip of the wire. The process of increasing the diameter of the grains to make them softer is performed either sequentially or in parallel, and then the metal balls are pressed against the surface of the electrodes and bonded to form instantly from the spark. The shell formed by the oxide film or the deposit on the surface of the metal ball is broken, and the new surface of the metal ball is exposed and integrated with the new surface of the electrode.
それゆえ、スタッドバンプを形成したり、ワイヤボンディングを行うにあたって、金属ボールの電極への接合に、熱や超音波を加える必要はなく、実装にあたっての半導体素子へのストレスを軽減することができる。これによって、半導体素子およびそれを実装して成る半導体モジュールなどの半導体装置の信頼性を向上することができる。 Therefore, when forming stud bumps or performing wire bonding, it is not necessary to apply heat or ultrasonic waves to the bonding of the metal balls to the electrodes, and the stress on the semiconductor element during mounting can be reduced. Thereby, the reliability of the semiconductor device such as the semiconductor element and the semiconductor module formed by mounting the semiconductor element can be improved.
[実施の形態1]
図1は、本発明の実施の一形態に係る半導体素子の実装方法を説明するための図である。本実装工程は、シリコンチップなどの半導体素子1に対して、図示しない回路基板などへの実装のためのスタッドバンプ2を形成したり、ボンディングワイヤ3による接合を行うものであり、共に、半導体素子1の電極4に対して、金属ボール5を固着する工程を有する。
[Embodiment 1]
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a semiconductor element mounting method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this mounting process, a
前記金属ボール5の電極4への固着の工程には、先ず図1(a)で示す前記電極4の表面にアルゴン等のプラズマを照射するなどして、該表面を活性化することで該表面を浄化し、さらに新生面を露出させる工程と、図1(b)で示すワイヤ6の先端部をスパークして前記金属ボール5を形成する際に、スパーク電圧やスパーク電流を調整して結晶粒を大径化して軟らかくする工程とが、いずれかを先にして順次に、または平行して行われる。その後、常温で、図1(c)で示すように、前記金属ボール5が前記電極4の表面に押圧されて接合される。
In the step of fixing the
前記図1(a)で示す工程では、前記半導体素子1として、たとえばSi基板上に、SiO2膜を400nm、Ti/W膜を200nm順に形成した上に、さらに200nm程度のAu層を形成して電極4の表面が形成されたものが用いられ、アルゴンプラズマを、φ4インチのウエハ換算で25〜150W程度、プラズマ照射時間を30〜180sec程度、アルゴンガス内圧を1〜10Pa程度の条件下で表面活性化処理が行われる。
In the step shown in FIG. 1A, as the
また、前記図1(b)で示す工程では、φ15〜35μmのAuワイヤを使用し、キャピラリ7の先端に位置するワイヤ6と、トーチと呼ばれる電極との間を1.3mmの間隔を空けて、ワイヤ6をスパークさせることでワイヤ先端部を溶融し、スパークボールと呼ばれる金属ボール5を形成している。φ15のAuワイヤで、たとえばスパーク電流は30mA、100μsecであり、この工程のスパークによって溶融された前記金属ボール5は、スパーク前のワイヤ6よりも結晶粒が大径化する。前記スパーク電圧やスパーク電流を調整することで、従来のスタッドバンプ2の形成時やワイヤボンディング時に比べても、結晶粒を大径化することができる。
In the step shown in FIG. 1B, an Au wire having a diameter of 15 to 35 μm is used, and a gap of 1.3 mm is provided between the
さらにまた、前記図1(c)で示す接合工程では、金属ボール5が、荷重150gで超音波アシスト無しで電極4に押圧される。その後、図1(d)で示すスタッドバンプ形成工程では、ワイヤ6をプルカットすることで、φ40〜100μmのスタッドバンプ2が形成される。また、押圧後、図1(e)で示すワイヤボンディング工程では、ボンディングワイヤ3をプルカットせず、基板8側にボンディングされる。
Furthermore, in the joining step shown in FIG. 1C, the
このように作成することで、図1(b)で示す工程において、スパークから瞬時に形成されてしまう前記金属ボール5の表面の酸化膜や付着物(C,H,O)による殻を、前記図1(c)で示す接合工程で破り、該金属ボール5の新生面を露出させ、前記図1(a)で示すプラズマ照射工程で現れた電極4の新生面と一体化することができる。
By creating in this way, in the step shown in FIG. 1B, the shell of the surface of the
したがって、スタッドバンプ2を形成したり、ワイヤボンディングを行うにあたって、金属ボール5の電極4への接合に、熱や超音波を加える必要はなく、実装にあたっての半導体素子1へのストレスを軽減することができる。これによって、半導体素子1およびそれを実装して成る半導体モジュールなどの半導体装置の信頼性を向上することができる。
Therefore, when forming the
なお、前記前記図1(c)で示す接合工程において、若干の超音波をアシストすることで、押圧荷重を70gに低下して、荷重によるストレスを低下するとともに、より強度の高い接合が可能である。 In the joining step shown in FIG. 1 (c), by assisting some ultrasonic waves, the pressing load is reduced to 70 g, the stress due to the load is reduced, and higher strength joining is possible. is there.
また、前記半導体素子1がMEMSチップである場合、該MEMSチップは超音波や熱に弱いので、本発明が特に効果的である。さらにまた、上述のように電極4の表面および金属ボール5を金で形成すると、接合強度をより高めることができる。
In addition, when the
