Abstract
Description
本発明は、半導体装置に関し、特に、GaNを用いるパワーデバイスチップをフレームに搭載する場合のデバイスの実装構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a device mounting structure when a power device chip using GaN is mounted on a frame.
GaN(窒化ガリウム)に代表される、バンドギャップが2eVを超えるワイドギャップ半導体を用いたデバイスは、従来のSiを用いるデバイスと比較して、低消費電力であり、高速スイッチングが可能という利点を備えている。これは、デバイスの絶縁破壊電界が大きいという理由による。 Devices using wide gap semiconductors with a band gap exceeding 2 eV, represented by GaN (gallium nitride), have the advantages of low power consumption and high-speed switching compared with devices using conventional Si. ing. This is because the breakdown electric field of the device is large.
一般に、デバイスの耐圧はドリフト層の長さ(WD)と絶縁破壊電界(Ec)の積により表される。従って、耐圧を同じとした場合、絶縁破壊電界が大きい方がドリフト層の長さを短くできる。ここで、ワイドギャップ半導体において、絶縁破壊電界はSiよりも10倍程度高いため、ドリフト層の長さをおよそ1/10にすることができる。また、不純物濃度は絶縁破壊電界の2乗に比例するため、Siと比べて100倍に高くすることができる。以上より、耐圧を同じとした場合、ワイドギャップ半導体を用いたデバイスのオン抵抗(Ron)は、Siを用いるデバイスと比較して約1/1000に低抵抗化が可能となる。 In general, the breakdown voltage of a device is represented by the product of the drift layer length (WD) and the breakdown electric field (Ec). Therefore, when the breakdown voltage is the same, the length of the drift layer can be shortened when the breakdown electric field is large. Here, in the wide gap semiconductor, since the dielectric breakdown electric field is about 10 times higher than Si, the length of the drift layer can be reduced to about 1/10. Further, since the impurity concentration is proportional to the square of the dielectric breakdown electric field, it can be made 100 times higher than Si. As described above, when the breakdown voltage is the same, the on-resistance (Ron) of the device using the wide gap semiconductor can be reduced to about 1/1000 compared to the device using Si.
一方、デバイスの高速応答性を表す指標として、遮断周波数(fT)という指標がある。当該遮断周波数はデバイスの電流利得が1となる周波数であり、ドリフト層の長さWDに反比例する。従って、ワイドギャップ半導体を用いるデバイスでは、ドリフト層の長さをSiと比べて1/10に設定できることにより、Siよりも一桁高い周波数で使用することが可能となる。 On the other hand, there is an index called cutoff frequency (fT) as an index representing the high-speed response of the device. The cutoff frequency is a frequency at which the current gain of the device is 1, and is inversely proportional to the length WD of the drift layer. Therefore, in a device using a wide gap semiconductor, since the length of the drift layer can be set to 1/10 compared to Si, it can be used at a frequency one digit higher than Si.
このように、ワイドギャップ半導体を用いることで、Siと比較してオン抵抗が低く、結果低消費電力で、且つ、高速性に優れたデバイスが可能である。 As described above, by using a wide gap semiconductor, a device having a low on-resistance as compared with Si, resulting in low power consumption and excellent high-speed performance is possible.
上記のワイドギャップ半導体を用いるデバイスの実装方法として、下記特許文献1および2に示すように、ドレインリードとダイパッドを接続したリードフレームのダイパッド上にデバイスを固定し、デバイスとドレインリード、ソースリード、及び、ゲートリードとの接続をワイヤボンディングにより行う方法が、従来より用いられてきた。
As a device mounting method using the above wide gap semiconductor, as shown in
従来のSiパワーデバイスでは、ゲート注入電荷量Qgが大きいため、寄生発振が起こるような大きなインダクタンスは回路側で対応が可能であり、デバイス実装において、回路の寄生インダクタンスについて特別の注意を払う必要がなかった。 In the conventional Si power device, since the gate injection charge amount Qg is large, a large inductance that causes parasitic oscillation can be dealt with on the circuit side, and it is necessary to pay special attention to the parasitic inductance of the circuit when mounting the device. There wasn't.
ところが、GaNを用いたデバイスでは、ゲート注入電荷量Qgが非常に小さいため、単なる配線の寄生インダクタンスであってもゲート電圧が発振することがわかった。 However, in the device using GaN, it was found that the gate voltage oscillates even if the parasitic inductance of the wiring is simple because the gate injection charge amount Qg is very small.
これに対し、ゲート抵抗として大きなものをゲート端子に接続することで発振は抑制できるが、GaNの低消費電力、高速応答性の長所を生かすことができない結果となる。 On the other hand, oscillation can be suppressed by connecting a large gate resistance to the gate terminal, but the advantages of low power consumption and high-speed response of GaN cannot be utilized.
本発明は、上記の状況に鑑み、GaNを用いたデバイスにおいて、大きなゲート抵抗を付加することなく寄生発振を抑制できるように、デバイス実装構造の面から寄生インダクタンスの低減を実現するものであり、これにより、GaNの特徴である低消費電力、高速応答特性を生かしたパワーデバイスを実現することを目的とする。 In view of the above situation, the present invention realizes a reduction in parasitic inductance from the surface of a device mounting structure so that parasitic oscillation can be suppressed without adding a large gate resistance in a device using GaN. Accordingly, it is an object to realize a power device that takes advantage of the low power consumption and high-speed response characteristics that are characteristic of GaN.
上記目的を達成するための本発明に係る半導体装置は、
ソース端子、ドレイン端子、ゲート端子の少なくとも三端子が基板表面側に設けられた、GaNを用いるパワーデバイスが、ソースリード部とダイパッド部とが一体成形されたリードフレームの前記ダイパッド部に搭載され、
前記パワーデバイスの前記ソース端子が前記ダイパッド部とワイヤ接続され、
前記パワーデバイスの前記ドレイン端子がドレインリードと、前記パワーデバイスの前記ゲート端子がゲートリードとワイヤ接続されてなるデバイス実装構造を有することを特徴とする。
In order to achieve the above object, a semiconductor device according to the present invention provides:
A power device using GaN in which at least three terminals of a source terminal, a drain terminal, and a gate terminal are provided on the substrate surface side is mounted on the die pad portion of a lead frame in which a source lead portion and a die pad portion are integrally formed,
The source terminal of the power device is wire-connected to the die pad portion;
The power device has a device mounting structure in which the drain terminal of the power device is connected to a drain lead, and the gate terminal of the power device is connected to the gate lead by wire.
上記特徴の半導体装置は、更に、前記ドレインリードが、前記ゲートリードと前記リードフレームの前記ソースリード部との間に配置されることが好ましい。 In the semiconductor device having the above characteristics, the drain lead is preferably disposed between the gate lead and the source lead portion of the lead frame.
上記特徴の半導体装置は、更に、前記パワーデバイスを構成するトランジスタが、
前記ソース端子と接続するソース電極、前記ドレイン端子と接続するドレイン電極、及び、前記ゲート端子と接続するゲート電極を備え、前記ゲート電極が前記ドレイン電極よりも前記ソース電極側に片寄って配置される非対称構造を有することが好ましい。
In the semiconductor device having the above characteristics, the transistor constituting the power device further includes:
A source electrode connected to the source terminal; a drain electrode connected to the drain terminal; and a gate electrode connected to the gate terminal, wherein the gate electrode is disposed closer to the source electrode side than the drain electrode. It preferably has an asymmetric structure.
上記特徴の半導体装置は、更に、前記ドレインリード内の樹脂封止されるインナーリード部分の面積が、前記ゲートリード内の樹脂封止されるインナーリード部分の面積よりも大きいことが好ましい。 In the semiconductor device having the above characteristics, it is preferable that the area of the inner lead portion to be resin-sealed in the drain lead is larger than the area of the inner lead portion to be resin-sealed in the gate lead.
上記特徴の半導体装置は、更に、前記リードフレームの前記ソースリードには、前記ドレインリードよりも低電圧が供給されることが好ましい。 In the semiconductor device having the above characteristics, it is preferable that a lower voltage is supplied to the source lead of the lead frame than to the drain lead.
本発明者等は、鋭意研究により、ソース側配線の寄生インダクタンスを小さくすることで、発振が抑制され、ゲート電圧のオンオフに対して安定なスイッチングが可能になることを見出した。 The inventors of the present invention have intensively researched and found that by reducing the parasitic inductance of the source-side wiring, oscillation is suppressed and stable switching can be performed with respect to on / off of the gate voltage.
図5にシミュレーションに用いた回路の構成を示す。Ld、Ls1、Ls2、Lgsは夫々配線の寄生インダクタンスであり、Cgd,Cgs,Cdsは夫々GaN−FETの寄生容量である。図5において、FETがオンからオフに、オフからオンに切り替わると、LdからCoss、Ls1、及びLs2を介したLC直列回路が共振する。結果、Ls1の両端電圧が振動する。当該Ls1の両端電圧の振動は、ゲートドライバにとって電圧ノイズ源となる。 FIG. 5 shows the configuration of the circuit used for the simulation. Ld, Ls1, Ls2, and Lgs are parasitic inductances of wirings, respectively, and Cgd, Cgs, and Cds are parasitic capacitances of GaN-FETs. In FIG. 5, when the FET is switched from on to off and from off to on, the LC series circuit from Ld to Coss, Ls1, and Ls2 resonates. As a result, the voltage across Ls1 vibrates. The vibration of the voltage across Ls1 becomes a voltage noise source for the gate driver.
更に、Ls1の両端電圧が振動することにより、CgsとLs1を介したLC直列回路が共振し、ゲート電圧Vgが振動する。この結果、FETの意図しないオンオフが繰り返され、これが更にLdからCoss、Ls1、及びLs2を介したLC直列回路の共振を引き起こす。 Furthermore, when the voltage across Ls1 vibrates, the LC series circuit via Cgs and Ls1 resonates, and the gate voltage Vg vibrates. As a result, unintended ON / OFF of the FET is repeated, which further causes resonance of the LC series circuit from Ld to Coss, Ls1, and Ls2.
このように、LdからCoss、Ls1、及びLs2を介したLC直列回路の共振と、CgsとLs1を介したLC直列回路の共振が相互に誘起される結果、ゲート電圧Vgの振動が増幅され、スイッチングノイズが増加し、最悪の場合FETが発振して回路が破壊される虞がある。 As described above, the resonance of the LC series circuit via Loss and Coss, Ls1, and Ls2 and the resonance of the LC series circuit via Cgs and Ls1 are mutually induced. As a result, the oscillation of the gate voltage Vg is amplified. The switching noise increases, and in the worst case, the FET may oscillate and the circuit may be destroyed.
上記のLC回路による共振を防ぐには、LdとLs1(及び、Ls2)をできる限り小さくすればよいことが推察される。 It can be inferred that Ld and Ls1 (and Ls2) should be as small as possible in order to prevent resonance by the LC circuit.
図6は、ソース側配線の寄生インダクタンスLs1、及び、ドレイン側配線の寄生インダクタンスLdを変えた場合の、スイッチング時のゲート電圧の立ち上がり、立ち下がりの電圧変化をシミュレーションした結果である。図6より、ドレイン側配線の寄生インダクタンスLdを小さくする(図6(b))よりも、むしろソース側配線の寄生インダクタンスLs1を小さくした(図6(a))方が、ゲート電圧の振動防止に著しい効果があることが分かる。 FIG. 6 shows the result of simulating the rise and fall of the gate voltage during switching when the parasitic inductance Ls1 of the source side wiring and the parasitic inductance Ld of the drain side wiring are changed. From FIG. 6, the gate voltage oscillation is prevented by reducing the parasitic inductance Ls1 of the source side wiring (FIG. 6A) rather than reducing the parasitic inductance Ld of the drain side wiring (FIG. 6B). It can be seen that there is a remarkable effect.
図7は、図6においてFETに生じる電力損失(=Ifet*Vd)を示す図であり、図7より、ドレイン側配線の寄生インダクタンスLdを小さくする(図7(b))よりも、ソース側配線の寄生インダクタンスLs1を小さくした(図7(a))方が、損失も少ないことが分かる。 FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the power loss (= Ifet * Vd) generated in the FET in FIG. 6. Compared to FIG. 7, the parasitic inductance Ld of the drain side wiring is made smaller (FIG. 7B) than the source side. It can be seen that the loss is reduced when the parasitic inductance Ls1 of the wiring is reduced (FIG. 7A).
上記の知見に基づき、本発明では、デバイスの実装方法を変更し、従来のSiMOSFETにおいてはドレインリードと接続していたダイパッドを、ソースリードと接続することとし、当該ダイパッドとデバイスのソース端子との接続をワイヤボンディングにより行うこととした。これにより、従来のダイパッドとドレインリードを一体成形した構造と比較して、GaNチップのソース端子とチップ裏面の電位差を小さくできるため、チップ裏面からのリーク電流を減らし、オン抵抗を小さくすることができる。また、ゲート−ソース間のループ電流が小さくなることでソース配線の寄生インダクタンスが抑制され、Cgsを介したLC直列回路の発振を抑えることができる。 Based on the above knowledge, in the present invention, the device mounting method is changed, and the die pad connected to the drain lead in the conventional SiMOSFET is connected to the source lead, and the die pad and the source terminal of the device are connected. The connection was made by wire bonding. As a result, the potential difference between the source terminal of the GaN chip and the back surface of the chip can be reduced as compared with the conventional structure in which the die pad and the drain lead are integrally formed. it can. In addition, since the gate-source loop current is reduced, the parasitic inductance of the source wiring is suppressed, and the oscillation of the LC series circuit via Cgs can be suppressed.
従って、本発明に依れば、GaNを用いたデバイスにおいて、大きなゲート抵抗を付加することなく寄生発振を抑制でき、GaNの特徴である低消費電力、高速応答特性を生かしたパワーデバイスを実現することができる。 Therefore, according to the present invention, in a device using GaN, parasitic oscillation can be suppressed without adding a large gate resistance, and a power device utilizing the low power consumption and high-speed response characteristics of GaN is realized. be able to.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the device structure of the power device using GaN. The device shown in FIG. 3 is an FET having a HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistor) structure, and a
AlGaN層23とGaN層22とのヘテロ接合界面近傍において、2次元電子ガス層29が形成され、ゲート電極26に電圧(ゲート電圧)を印加することで、当該ゲート電極26の下方の当該2次元電子ガス層の濃度が変調され、ソース電極24とドレイン電極25間に流れる電流が制御される。尚、図3に示すデバイスは、ドレイン電極25に印加される電圧とゲート電圧との差が高電圧となるため、放電しないようにゲート電極26とドレイン電極25との距離を、ゲート電極26とソース電極24との距離よりも大きくとり、ゲート電極26がドレイン電極25よりもソース電極24側に片寄って配置された非対称なデバイス構造を有している。
In the vicinity of the heterojunction interface between the
図1及び図2に戻ると、半導体装置10に隣接して、ソースリード15、ドレインリード16、ゲートリード17がこの順で形成されている。即ち、ドレインリード16が、ゲートリード17とソースリード15の間に挟まれて配置されている。これらのリード端子15,16,17は夫々、半導体装置1のソース端子11、ドレイン端子12、ゲート端子13とワイヤ接続(ワイヤボンディング)される。更に、図1又は図2の点線で示す領域18内において、ワイヤ接続される部分を覆うように樹脂封止がされ、半導体装置10がパッケージされる。
Returning to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a
本発明では、図1に示すように、ソースリード15とダイパッド14は、両者が一体成形されてリードフレームを構成しており、ソース端子11とソースリード15の接続が、ソース端子11とダイパッド14をワイヤボンディングすることによりなされている。一方、ドレインリード16及びゲートリード17は、夫々、ダイパッド14と分離形成され、ドレインリード16とドレイン端子12、ゲートリード17とゲート端子13との接続が、ワイヤボンディングによりなされている。
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the
これに対し、従来例では、図2に示すように、ドレインリード16とダイパッド14が一体成形されてリードフレームを構成しており、ドレイン端子12とドレインリード16の接続が、ドレイン端子12とダイパッド14をワイヤボンディングすることによりなされている。一方、ソースリード15及びゲートリード17は、夫々、ダイパッド14と分離形成され、ソースリード15とソース端子11、ゲートリード17とゲート端子13との接続が、ワイヤボンディングによりなされている。
On the other hand, in the conventional example, as shown in FIG. 2, the
上述の通り、本発明では、ソースリード15とダイパッド14が一体成形され、ソース端子11とダイパッド14がワイヤボンディングされて接続されているため、チップ裏面の電位を介して基板の電位がソース電圧に固定され、基板を経由してチップ裏面に流れるリーク電流を減らし、結果、オン抵抗を小さくすることができる。また、ソース配線の寄生インダクタンスが抑制され、ゲート電圧の発振を抑えることができる。
As described above, in the present invention, since the
尚、本発明では、ドレインリード16はドレイン端子12とワイヤボンディングされるが、このため、ドレインリード16とダイパッド14が一体成形され、ドレイン端子12とダイパッド14をワイヤボンディングされる従来の構成(図2)と比較すると、ドレイン配線の寄生インダクタンスはかえって増加することとなる。しかしながら、図6より、ソース配線側の寄生インダクタンス(図5のLs1)を低減することが、ドレイン配線側の寄生インダクタンス(図5のLd)を低減することよりも、ゲート電圧の発振を抑制するという点において重要であることが示されている。別の言い方をすると、図6は、ゲート電圧の発振を抑制するという点において、ソース配線側の寄生インダクタンスを低減することで、ドレイン配線の寄生インダクタンスが増加することによるデメリットをはるかに上回るメリットが得られることを示すものである。そして、本発明は、これを積極的に利用するものである。
In the present invention, the
更に、半導体装置10の他の実装例を図4に示す。図4では、ドレインリード16の領域18との重なり部分、即ちドレインリード16内の樹脂封止される部分(インナーリード)の面積を、ゲートリード17の領域18との重なり部分、即ちゲートリード17内の樹脂封止される部分の面積よりも大きくしている。上記ドレインリード16(ゲートリード17)の樹脂封止される部分は、ワイヤボンディングが可能な部分の面積に相当する。ドレインリード16のワイヤボンディング可能な部分の面積を大きくすることで、ドレインリード16とドレイン端子12との接続を、複数のワイヤを介して行うことが可能になるため、ソース配線側の寄生インダクタンスと併せて、ドレイン配線側の寄生インダクタンスを低減することが可能になる。これにより、ゲート電圧の発振を防止できるとともに、オン抵抗を削減することができる。
