Description

本発明は、半導体素子が樹脂封止されている半導体装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a semiconductor device in which a semiconductor element is resin-sealed.

半導体装置には、モータ等の電気機器を制御するために大電力のスイッチングの制御が可能な、いわゆるパワー半導体装置がある。パワー半導体装置は、その耐圧、電流容量に応じて家電用、産業用、電鉄用などの各種インバータ装置に用いられている。パワー半導体装置では、従来から、半導体素子(半導体スイッチング素子)が樹脂パッケージ内に密封されている。パワー半導体装置内部では、半導体素子の絶縁性を確保する為、半導体素子をシリコーンゲルでコーティングするのが一般的である。   As the semiconductor device, there is a so-called power semiconductor device capable of controlling high-power switching in order to control an electric device such as a motor. Power semiconductor devices are used in various inverter devices for home appliances, industrial use, electric railways, etc., depending on their withstand voltage and current capacity. Conventionally, in a power semiconductor device, a semiconductor element (semiconductor switching element) is sealed in a resin package. In the power semiconductor device, in order to ensure the insulation of the semiconductor element, it is common to coat the semiconductor element with silicone gel.

近年、家電、産業システム、電鉄などの用途に用いられるパワー半導体装置において、半導体素子の高耐圧化、電流容量の増大化が進んでおり、パワー半導体装置内部のより高度な絶縁性の確保とともに、パワー半導体装置の長寿命化による信頼性の向上が要求されている。   In recent years, in power semiconductor devices used for applications such as home appliances, industrial systems, electric railways, etc., with increasing breakdown voltage of semiconductor elements and increasing current capacity, along with ensuring higher insulation inside the power semiconductor device, There is a demand for improved reliability by extending the life of power semiconductor devices.

これらの絶縁性、信頼性向上(長寿命化)の技術として、半導体素子と金属ワイヤの接合部と、半導体素子等が接合される絶縁基板上の金属回路箔の側面部とに、電気絶縁性樹脂を被覆し、その電気絶縁性樹脂の上をシリコーンゲルで被覆する構造が提案されている(特許文献1等参照)。具体的に、電気絶縁性樹脂としては、シリコーンゲルより膨張係数が小さく、ヤング率が大きく、絶縁耐量が高いポリアミド系又はポリアミドイミド系樹脂を用いる。これによりパワー半導体装置内部の金属ワイヤと半導体素子間の接合の長寿命化、及び、絶縁基板の絶縁耐量を向上させている。   As a technology for improving the insulation and reliability (prolonging the service life), there is electrical insulation between the joint portion of the semiconductor element and the metal wire and the side surface portion of the metal circuit foil on the insulating substrate to which the semiconductor element is joined. A structure in which a resin is coated and the electrically insulating resin is coated with a silicone gel has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). Specifically, as the electrically insulating resin, a polyamide-based or polyamide-imide-based resin having a smaller expansion coefficient than a silicone gel, a larger Young's modulus, and a higher insulation resistance is used. As a result, the life of the junction between the metal wire inside the power semiconductor device and the semiconductor element is increased, and the dielectric strength of the insulating substrate is improved.

パワー半導体装置の動作時には、半導体素子の電気的スイッチング動作により、半導体素子、及び、半導体素子に接合された金属ワイヤは、スイッチング・オンの際の発熱による昇温とオフの際の降温を繰り返すが、その際、各部材の接合部には熱応力が発生する。しかし、ポリアミドイミド系樹脂によって被覆されていない半導体素子と絶縁基板間の半田接合部は、ポリアミドイミド系樹脂による寿命向上の効果が働いていないため、熱応力によりクラックが入り、熱抵抗が上昇する可能性がある。   During the operation of the power semiconductor device, due to the electrical switching operation of the semiconductor element, the semiconductor element and the metal wire bonded to the semiconductor element repeatedly rise in temperature due to heat generation at the time of switching on and cool down at the time of off. At that time, thermal stress is generated at the joint portion of each member. However, the solder joint between the semiconductor element and the insulating substrate that is not covered with the polyamideimide resin does not have the effect of improving the service life due to the polyamideimide resin, and therefore cracks occur due to thermal stress and the thermal resistance increases. there is a possibility.

そこで、本発明の目的は、半導体素子と絶縁基板間の半田接合を長寿命化できる半導体装置を提供することである。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device capable of extending the life of a solder joint between a semiconductor element and an insulating substrate.

Table 1 shows polyamideimide resins (second resin, first resin) 17a, 17b, 17c, epoxy resin (third resin) 18, and silicone gel used in the power semiconductor device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The physical property values of the resin (fourth resin) 19 are shown.
Figure 2012015222

エポキシ系樹脂(第3樹脂)18は、チップ下半田2と半田15の接合部における半田のクラック発生を抑えるために、線膨張係数が半田の線膨張係数(21ppm/℃)、及びアルミニウムの線膨張係数(24ppm/℃)とほぼ等しい、24ppm/℃に設定しているが、20〜30ppm/℃の範囲であれば、本実施形態と同様の効果が得られる。また、半導体素子1と金属回路箔5の間と、金属回路箔5と金属端子12a、12cの間の線膨張係数差による歪を押さえ込むために、ヤング率(硬さ)を5GPaに設定しているが、5〜10GPaの範囲であれば、本実施形態と同様の効果が得られる。また、エポキシ系樹脂(第3樹脂)18の絶縁耐量としては、高電界の発生する部位を直接被覆することがないため、30kV/mm程度に設定している。そして、本実施形態と同様の効果を得るためには、その絶縁耐量を10〜30kV/mmの範囲に設定すればよい。   The epoxy-based resin (third resin) 18 has a linear expansion coefficient of the solder linear expansion coefficient (21 ppm / ° C.) and an aluminum wire in order to suppress the occurrence of solder cracks at the joint between the under-chip solder 2 and the solder 15. Although it is set to 24 ppm / ° C., which is substantially equal to the expansion coefficient (24 ppm / ° C.), the same effect as this embodiment can be obtained if it is in the range of 20 to 30 ppm / ° C. Further, in order to suppress the distortion caused by the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the semiconductor element 1 and the metal circuit foil 5 and between the metal circuit foil 5 and the metal terminals 12a and 12c, the Young's modulus (hardness) is set to 5 GPa. However, if it is in the range of 5 to 10 GPa, the same effect as the present embodiment can be obtained. The dielectric strength of the epoxy resin (third resin) 18 is set to about 30 kV / mm because it does not directly cover a portion where a high electric field is generated. And in order to acquire the effect similar to this embodiment, what is necessary is just to set the dielectric strength to the range of 10-30 kV / mm.

Although set, if it is in the range of 1.5 to 5 GPa, the same effect as this embodiment can be obtained. Further, since the linear expansion coefficients of the polyamideimide resins (second resin, first resin) 17a, 17b, and 17c are close to the linear expansion coefficients of the semiconductor element 1 and the aluminum wire (metal wire) 3, the polyamideimide resin is used.

And in order to acquire the effect similar to this embodiment, what is necessary is just to set the dielectric strength to 100 kV / mm or more.

シリコーンゲル系樹脂(第4樹脂)19は、エポキシ系樹脂(第3樹脂)18との界面における歪を小さくするため、線膨張係数は300ppm/℃、ヤング率は0.004MPaに設定している。そして、本実施形態と同様の効果を得るためには、線膨張係数を200〜400ppm/℃の範囲に、ヤング率を1MPa以下の範囲に設定すればよい。また、シリコーンゲル系樹脂19の絶縁耐量としては、高電界の発生する部位を直接被覆することがないため、15kV/mm程度に設定している。そして、本実施形態と同様の効果を得るためには、その絶縁耐量を10〜30kV/mmの範囲に設定すればよい。   The silicone gel resin (fourth resin) 19 is set to have a linear expansion coefficient of 300 ppm / ° C. and a Young's modulus of 0.004 MPa in order to reduce strain at the interface with the epoxy resin (third resin) 18. . And in order to acquire the effect similar to this embodiment, what is necessary is just to set a linear expansion coefficient in the range of 200-400 ppm / degrees C, and a Young's modulus in the range below 1 MPa. In addition, the dielectric strength of the silicone gel resin 19 is set to about 15 kV / mm because it does not directly cover a portion where a high electric field is generated. And in order to acquire the effect similar to this embodiment, what is necessary is just to set the dielectric strength to the range of 10-30 kV / mm.

図3に、図1のB−B方向の矢視断面図を示す。アルミワイヤ(金属ワイヤ)3を覆うようにエポキシ系樹脂(第3樹脂)18を塗布し封止すると、アルミワイヤ(金属ワイヤ)3が形成するワイヤループの内側(下側)と外側(上側)でエポキシ系樹脂18の厚みが異なった場合、ワイヤループの内側と外側でエポキシ系樹脂18の歪に差が生じるためアルミワイヤ3にループの外向き、或いは内向きの応力が加わり、エポキシ系樹脂18とアルミワイヤ3との界面で剥離破壊や、アルミワイヤ3と金属回路箔5の接合部での剪断などを引き起こす可能性がある。よって、エポキシ系樹脂18の厚さ(塗布量)としては、図3に示すように金属回路箔5の表面からエポキシ系樹脂18の表面までの直線距離が、アルミワイヤ3のループ高さtに対して2倍(2t)となるように調節している。これにより、エポキシ系樹脂18からアルミワイヤ3の外側と内側にかかる応力を等しくし、エポキシ系樹脂18の応力に起因した破壊を防止できる。   FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view in the direction of arrows BB in FIG. When an epoxy resin (third resin) 18 is applied and sealed so as to cover the aluminum wire (metal wire) 3, the inner side (lower side) and the outer side (upper side) of the wire loop formed by the aluminum wire (metal wire) 3 When the epoxy resin 18 has a different thickness, a difference in the strain of the epoxy resin 18 occurs between the inside and the outside of the wire loop, so that the outward or inward stress of the loop is applied to the aluminum wire 3, and the epoxy resin There is a possibility of causing delamination breakage at the interface between the aluminum wire 3 and the aluminum wire 3 and shearing at the joint between the aluminum wire 3 and the metal circuit foil 5. Therefore, as the thickness (coating amount) of the epoxy resin 18, the linear distance from the surface of the metal circuit foil 5 to the surface of the epoxy resin 18 is the loop height t of the aluminum wire 3 as shown in FIG. On the other hand, it is adjusted to be twice (2t). Thereby, the stress applied to the outer side and the inner side of the aluminum wire 3 from the epoxy resin 18 can be made equal, and breakage due to the stress of the epoxy resin 18 can be prevented.
