Abstract
Description
本発明は、パワー半導体モジュール,スイッチングICなどを対象とする半導体装置に関し、詳しくは半導体チップの実装回路構造に係わる。 The present invention relates to a semiconductor device intended for a power semiconductor module, a switching IC and the like, and more particularly to a semiconductor chip mounting circuit structure.
昨今ではパワー半導体モジュールの小型,大容量化が進み、これに伴いパワー半導体モジュールに搭載するパワー半導体チップ(例えば、IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor))等は高い電流密度で通電使用されることから、その放熱対策が重要課題となっている。
すなわち、IGBTなどのパワー半導体デバイスでは、半導体チップの接合部温度Tjに上限保証温度(例えば125℃)が規定されているのに対して、放熱用ベース(銅ベース板)に絶縁基板を介して半導体チップをマウントした片面冷却方式では、半導体チップの上面側がパッケージ内に充填した封止樹脂で封止されているのでチップ上面側からの放熱は殆ど期待できない。このために半導体チップの小型,大電流化に伴い発熱密度が増大すると、半導体チップの上面電極に接続する配線リードとしてアルミワイヤをボンディングした在来の配線構造では、チップの接合部温度を上限保証温度以下に抑えることが困難であるばかりか、アルミワイヤのジュール発熱も加わってワイヤ溶断のおそれもあってパワーサイクル耐量の低下が懸念される。
In recent years, power semiconductor modules have become smaller and larger in capacity, and accordingly, power semiconductor chips (for example, IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)) mounted on the power semiconductor modules are energized and used at a high current density. The heat dissipation countermeasure has become an important issue.
That is, in a power semiconductor device such as an IGBT, an upper limit guaranteed temperature (for example, 125 ° C.) is defined for the junction temperature Tj of the semiconductor chip, whereas the heat dissipation base (copper base plate) is interposed via an insulating substrate. In the single-sided cooling method in which the semiconductor chip is mounted, the upper surface side of the semiconductor chip is sealed with the sealing resin filled in the package, so that heat radiation from the upper surface side of the chip can hardly be expected. For this reason, when the heat generation density increases as the semiconductor chip becomes smaller and the current increases, the upper limit of the chip junction temperature is guaranteed in the conventional wiring structure in which an aluminum wire is bonded as the wiring lead connected to the upper electrode of the semiconductor chip. Not only is it difficult to keep it below the temperature, but there is also a concern that the power cycle resistance may be lowered due to the possibility of wire fusing due to the Joule heat generation of the aluminum wire.
一方、半導体チップの上面からの放熱性を高めるための手段として、前記のアルミワイヤに代えてストラップ状の金属箔,あるいはリードフレームの配線リードを半導体チップの上面主電極にろう付け(通常ははんだ付け)し、この金属箔,リードフレームを伝熱経路として半導体チップの発生熱をチップ上面側から絶縁基板に放熱させるようにした構成が知られている(例えば、特許文献1,特許文献2参照)。
次に、パワー半導体モジュールを例に、特許文献2に開示されているモジュールの組立構造を図4に示す。図において、1は放熱用銅ベース、2はセラミックス基板2aの表,裏両面に導体パターン2b,2cを形成して銅ベース1の上に搭載した絶縁基板(例えば、Direct Copper Bonding基板)、3は絶縁基板2の導体パターン2bにマウントした半導体チップ(IGBT)、4は半導体チップ3の上面電極(エミッタ電極)と絶縁基板2の導体パターン2aとの間にまたがって両端をはんだ接合したリードフレーム(銅またはアルミ製の配線リード)、5は外囲樹脂ケース、6は銅ベース1に伝熱結合した放熱フィン(ヒートシンク)である。
On the other hand, as means for improving the heat dissipation from the upper surface of the semiconductor chip, brazing the strap-shaped metal foil or the lead wire of the lead frame to the upper main electrode of the semiconductor chip instead of the aluminum wire (usually soldering) In addition, a configuration is known in which heat generated by the semiconductor chip is radiated from the upper surface side of the chip to the insulating substrate using the metal foil and the lead frame as a heat transfer path (see, for example,
Next, the assembly structure of the module disclosed in
また、前記とは別に、半導体チップの放熱性向上と併せて発熱密度の集中緩和を図る手段として、半導体チップの上面側主面に熱拡散部材として銅,アルミなどの高熱伝導性金属ブロックで作られたヒートスプレッダを伝熱的に固着し、このヒートスプレッダを吸熱,伝熱経路として半導体チップの中央部分に集中する発熱を拡散させてチップの温度分布を均温化させるようにした構成のものが知られている(例えば特許文献3参照)。
さらに、半導体チップの上面側主電極面にはんだ接合した前記ヒートスプレッダ自身を電極板としてその上面にリード部材として銅,アルミ箔などで作られた配線リードを接合(超音波接合)した構成のモジュール組立構造が本発明と同一出願人より特願2004−293662号として先に提案されている。
ところで、前記のように半導体チップ3の主面にリードフレーム4の接合端面を重ね合わせて両者の間をはんだ付け(面接合)した実装回路では、半導体チップ3とリードフレーム4との線膨張係数差から、温度サイクルによりはんだ接合層に発生する熱応力がその接合面方向に剪断応力として繰り返し作用し、この応力による疲労ではんだ層にクラックが発生するなどして接続信頼性が低下する問題がある。
Further, a module assembly having a structure in which the heat spreader itself soldered to the upper main electrode surface of the semiconductor chip is used as an electrode plate and a wiring lead made of copper, aluminum foil or the like as a lead member is joined to the upper surface (ultrasonic bonding). The structure was previously proposed as Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-29362 by the same applicant as the present invention.
By the way, in the mounting circuit in which the joining end face of the lead frame 4 is superposed on the main surface of the
ところで、前記半導体モジュールのように、半導体チップの上面側主面に銅,アルミなどで作られたヒートスプレッダをろう付け(はんだ接合)した上で、該ヒートスプレッダを介してその上面にリード部材(銅,アルミなどのリード箔,リードフレーム)を接続した従来構造では、半導体チップとヒートスプレッダとの線膨張係数差から、熱サイクルにより両者の間を接合したはんだ層(ろう付け層)に生じる熱ストレスが剪断応力として繰り返し作用し、この繰り返しストレスによりはんだ組織が粗大化してはんだ層にクラックが発生し、接合信頼性が低下する問題がある。
さらに、昨今では環境問題から鉛フリーはんだが採用されるようになっているが、鉛フリーはんだはSn−Pb共晶はんだに較べてはんだ濡れ性が劣ることに加え、はんだ/母材の組合せによっては母材金属のはんだへの溶解,接合界面に生じる腐食反応,金属間化合物の形成などによる接合強度低下,抵抗増加の問題もある。
By the way, after the heat spreader made of copper, aluminum or the like is brazed (soldered) to the upper surface side main surface of the semiconductor chip like the semiconductor module, a lead member (copper, In the conventional structure in which lead foils (lead frames such as aluminum) are connected, the thermal stress generated in the solder layer (brazing layer) joined between the two due to the thermal cycle is sheared due to the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the semiconductor chip and the heat spreader. There is a problem that it repeatedly acts as stress, the solder structure becomes coarse due to the repeated stress, cracks are generated in the solder layer, and joint reliability is lowered.
In addition, lead-free solder is now being adopted due to environmental problems, but lead-free solder is inferior in solder wettability compared to Sn-Pb eutectic solder, and depending on the combination of solder / matrix. There are also problems such as dissolution of the base metal in solder, corrosion reaction occurring at the joint interface, joint strength reduction due to formation of intermetallic compounds, and resistance increase.
本発明は上記の点に鑑みなされたものであり、半導体チップの主電極面にヒートスプレッダをはんだ接合した上で、該ヒートスプレッダを介してリード部材を接続した構成のモジュールを対象に、その接合信頼性の向上を図り、併せてはんだ接合層に作用する熱ストレスを緩和するようヒートスプレッダの構造を改良した半導体装置を提供することを目的とする The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and is intended for a module having a configuration in which a heat spreader is soldered to a main electrode surface of a semiconductor chip and a lead member is connected via the heat spreader. An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device having an improved heat spreader structure so as to alleviate thermal stress acting on the solder joint layer.

前記ヒートスプレッダの金属基材の片面にろう材(はんだ)との接合性を高める異種金属膜を成膜した上で、該面を半導体チップにろう付けし、他方の面にヒートスプレッダの基材と同種金属のリード部材を直接接合するものとし(請求項1)、具体的には次記のような態様で構成する。

(3) In the above item (2), the conductive plate having a low linear expansion coefficient is a high melting point material such as molybdenum, tungsten, graphite-based carbon, etc. A post electrode is formed by casting a conductive material.
(4) A block assembly in which the metal base material of the heat spreader is divided into a plurality of base material blocks and arranged side by side in a lattice shape, and a stress relaxation layer is filled and integrated between the base material blocks; An electrode substrate is formed on the end surface of the block assembly and stacked on the connection surface side with the wiring lead.
(5) In the preceding item (4), the stress relaxation layer is a resin having a lower Young's modulus than that of the metal substrate, a soft metal, or a material in which a highly heat conductive or conductive filler is mixed in the resin. .
上記のように、ヒートスプレッダの片面にNi,Ni-P,Ni-P/Auめっき膜などの異種金属膜を形成した上で、このヒートスプレッダを半導体チップにろう付け(はんだ接合)することにより、ヒートスプレッダの金属基材とはんだとの濡れ性を高めつつ、一方では接合界面の腐食反応を抑制して接合信頼性の向上が図れる。また、ヒートスプレッダに接続するリード部材(箔、フレーム,あるいはワイヤのリード部材)を、ヒートスプレッダの金属基材と同種の金属材を選択して直接接合することで、ヒートスプレッダ/リード部材の接合界面に腐食反応が生じるおそれがなくて高い接続信頼性が得られる。
また、ヒートスプレッダの金属基材を、低線膨張係数の基材に高導電性のポスト電極を分散形成し、さらに配線リードとの接合面側に前記ポスト電極と同種の金属層を成層した複合材で構成することにより、ヒートスプレッダの実効的な線膨張係数を半導体チップの線膨張係数に近づけてはんだ接合層に加わる熱ストレスが軽減して接合信頼性がさらに向上する。この場合に、低線膨張係数の導電板をモリブデン,タングステン,黒鉛系炭素などの高融点材として、該導電板の板面に分散形成した貫通穴に、低融点,高導電性材を鋳込んでポスト電極を形成することで、複合構造になるヒートスプレッダを簡易な工程で製造できる。
As described above, a heat spreader is formed by forming a dissimilar metal film such as Ni, Ni-P, Ni-P / Au plating film on one side of the heat spreader, and brazing (solder bonding) the heat spreader to a semiconductor chip. While improving the wettability between the metal base material and the solder, it is possible to suppress the corrosion reaction at the joint interface and improve the joint reliability. In addition, the lead member (foil, frame, or wire lead member) connected to the heat spreader is corroded at the heat spreader / lead member joint interface by directly selecting and joining the same metal material as the heat spreader metal substrate. There is no risk of reaction and high connection reliability is obtained.
Also, a composite material in which a metal substrate of a heat spreader is formed by dispersing a highly conductive post electrode on a substrate having a low linear expansion coefficient, and a metal layer of the same type as the post electrode is formed on the joint surface side with the wiring lead With this configuration, the effective thermal expansion coefficient of the heat spreader is brought close to the linear expansion coefficient of the semiconductor chip, the thermal stress applied to the solder joint layer is reduced, and the joint reliability is further improved. In this case, a conductive plate with a low linear expansion coefficient is used as a high melting point material such as molybdenum, tungsten, or graphite carbon, and a low melting point, high conductive material is cast into the through holes dispersedly formed on the plate surface of the conductive plate. By forming the post electrode, a heat spreader having a composite structure can be manufactured by a simple process.
また、ヒートスプレッダの金属基材を、複数のブロックに分けて格子状に並置配列し、かつ各ブロック相互間の隙間に金属基材よりも低ヤング率の樹脂,軟質金属などの応力緩和層を充填して一体化したブロック集合体と、該ブロック集合体の端面に重ねて配線リードとの接合面側に積層した電極基板とで構成することにより、熱サイクルに伴うストレスを前記応力緩和層で吸収してろう付けの接合信頼性が向上する。また、樹脂の応力緩和層に高伝熱性,ないし導電性のフィラーを混入することで、応力緩和機能と併せてヒートスプレッダの伝熱性,導電性を向上できる。 In addition, the heat spreader metal base is divided into a plurality of blocks and arranged side by side in a grid, and the space between each block is filled with a stress relaxation layer such as a resin or soft metal having a lower Young's modulus than the metal base The stress relaxation layer absorbs the stress associated with the thermal cycle by constructing the block assembly integrated with each other and the electrode substrate laminated on the end surface of the block assembly and laminated on the joint surface side with the wiring lead. As a result, the brazing joint reliability is improved. In addition, by incorporating a highly heat conductive or conductive filler into the stress relaxation layer of the resin, the heat transfer and conductivity of the heat spreader can be improved together with the stress relaxation function.
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図1,図2,図3に示す各実施例に基づいて説明する。なお、実施例の図中で、図4に対応する部材には同じ符号を付してその説明は省略する。 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the respective examples shown in FIGS. In addition, in the figure of an Example, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the member corresponding to FIG. 4, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.
図1は、本発明の請求項1,2に対応する実施例の構成図であり、絶縁基板2にマウントした半導体チップ3に対して、該半導体チップ3の上面側主電極面には電極板を兼ねたヒートスプレッダ8がはんだ接合(はんだ層8)されており、このヒートスプレッダ7の上面にリード部材として、図示例ではストラップ状(平板導体)の配線リード4が接続されている。なお、配線リードはワイヤリードであってもよい。
ここで、ヒートスプレッダ7は、アルミ,アルミ合金,もしくは銅,銅合金の金属基材7aに対してその片方の面に異種金属膜7bを成膜した上で、この異種金属膜7bを半導体チップ3に向けてはんだ接合している。また、配線リード4はヒートスプレッダ7の金属基材7aの材質と同種金属であり、配線リード4の端部をヒートスプレッダ7の上面に重ね合わせて直接接合(例えば、超音波接合)するようにしている。
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment corresponding to
Here, the
すなわち、ヒートスプレッダ7の金属基材7aがアルミであれば配線リード4もアルミ材質とし、金属基材7aが銅であれば銅製の配線リード4を使用する。また、前記の異種金属膜7bは、はんだ濡れ性を高め、かつ接合界面の腐食反応に対するバリア層としても機能し、アルミ,アルミ合金の金属基材7aにNiめっきを、銅,銅合金の金属基材7aにはNi−Pめっき,もしくはNi−P/Auの多層メッキを施すものとする。なお、異種金属膜7bはスパッタリング法で成膜することもできる。
上記の構成により、半導体チップ3の発生熱は絶縁基板2およびヒートスプレッダ7に伝熱し、ヒートスプレッダ7においては半導体チップ3の中央に集中する発熱をチップ全域に分散させ、さらにヒートスプレッダ7に接続した配線リード4を伝熱経路としてチップ上面側からの放熱を促進させるように機能する。また、ヒートスプレッダ7はその金属基材7aの端面に成膜した異種金属膜7bがはんだ層8に対して良好な接合性をと併せて、接合界面での腐食反応を抑止して高い接合信頼性を確保する。さらに、ヒートスプレッダ7の金属基材7aと配線リード4とは同種金属を選択して直接接合することで、異種金属の接合界面に生じるような腐食反応のおそれなしに、安定した接続信頼性を確保でき、これにより半導体モジュールの信頼性が向上する。
That is, if the

次に、先記実施例1を改良した本発明の請求項3,4に対応する実施例を図2(a),(b)に示す。この実施例は、ヒートスプレッダ7の実効的な線膨張係数を半導体チップに近づけるように低めてはんだ層8に作用する熱ストレスを低減するようにしたものである。そのために、ヒートスプレッダ7の金属基材7を、低線膨張係数の基材(板)7cに高導電性のポスト電極7dを分散形成し、さらに配線リード4との接合面側にポスト電極7dに連なる電極層7eを成層した複合材で構成している。ここで、前記の低線膨張係数基材7cはモリブデン,タングステン,黒鉛系炭素などの高融点材で、この基材7cの板面に分散形成した貫通穴に、低融点,高導電性材(銅,アルミなど)を鋳込んでポスト電極7dを形成し、同じ鋳造工程で導電板7cの上面側に成層して電極層7eを形成する。そして、金属基材7aの下面側には実施例1と同様な異種金属膜7bを成膜して半導体チップ3とはんだ接合するようにしている。
Next, an embodiment corresponding to
上記の構成により、ヒートスプレッダ7の実効的な線膨張係数は前記の低線膨張係数,高融点の基材7cに近似して低減し、半導体チップ3との線膨張係数差が減少する。これにより、熱サイクルによりはんだ層8に作用する熱ストレスが小さくなって接合信頼性が向上する。
With the above-described configuration, the effective linear expansion coefficient of the
図3(a),(b)は本発明の請求項5,6に対応する応用実施例であり、この実施例では熱サイクルに伴い半導体チップ/ヒートスプレッダ間を接合するはんだ層8に作用する熱ストレスを緩和させるために、ヒートスプレッダ7の金属基材7aを、複数の基材ブロック7a−1に分けて格子状に並置配列し、かつ各基材ブロック7a−1の相互間隙間に応力緩和層7fを充填して一体化したブロック集合体と、該ブロック集合体の端面に重ねて配線リード4との接続面側に積層した電極基板7a−2とから構成している。
ここで、個々の基材ブロック7a−1は、実施例1あるいは2で述べた金属基材と同様な構造になり、応力緩和層7fには、基材ブロック7a−1よりも低ヤング率の樹脂,軟質金属,もしくは樹脂に高伝熱性,ないし導電性のフィラーを混入した材質を採用している。また、はんだ接合面側に異種金属膜7bを形成し、配線リード4はヒートスプレッダ7の金属基材7aと同種金属のリードを用いることは先記の各実施例と同様である。
なお、前記の構成で基材ブロック7a−1のブロック集合体に電極基板7a−2を結合する組立方法は、複数に分けて格子状に並べた基材ブロック7a−1を薄い接着シートに貼り付けて仮組立した上で、この接着シートを挟んでブロック集合体の端面に電極基板7a−2を重ね合わせ、この状態で例えば超音波接合法などにより接着シートを突き抜いて電極基板7a−2を各基材ブロック7a−1に接合し、その後に基材ブロック7−1の相互間の隙間に応力緩和層7fを充填する。あるいは、同一面上で格子状に並べた基材ブロック7a−1の相互間隙間および周面に樹脂(応力緩和層7)を充填,被覆して一体化した後、ブロック集合体の端面に電極基板7a−2を接合する。
FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) are application embodiments corresponding to
Here, each
The assembly method of joining the
上記の構成によれば、熱サイクルに伴う金属基材7aのブロックの膨張,収縮を前記の応力緩和層7fが吸収する。これにより、はんだ層8に加わる熱ストレスを緩和して先記実施例2と同様に接合信頼性が向上する。
また、この場合に応力緩和層7fとして、樹脂にアルミナ,窒化ホウ素などの微粒なフィラーを混入することにより、ヒートスプレッダ7としての伝熱性が向上する。また、樹脂に銀,銅などの微粒なフィラーを添加することで導電性が向上する。
なお、以上述べた実施例1〜3は、いずれも半導体チップ3とヒートスプレッダ7との間をはんだ接合しているが、はんだ以外のろう材でろう付けした構造に適用しても同等な効果を奏することができる。また、半導体装置のパッケージ形態についても、絶縁基板2に半導体チップ3をマウントした図示実施例の構造に限定されるものではなく、例えば表面実装形式のデバイス,スタッド形式のマルチチップ素子で構成した半導体装置にも同様に適用できる。
