Description
本発明は半導体装置の製造方法、特に銅太線をボンディングツールにより半導体素子の電極に接合するための半導体装置の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device for bonding a copper thick wire to an electrode of a semiconductor element using a bonding tool.
従来から、半導体装置における半導体素子とリード線や回路基板との間の配線は、アルミニウム線を用いたワイヤボンディングで行われており、半導体素子の電極表面に形成されたアルミニウムや金の材料に対してアルミニウム線が接合・接続される。 Conventionally, wiring between a semiconductor element and a lead wire or a circuit board in a semiconductor device has been performed by wire bonding using an aluminum wire, and the aluminum or gold material formed on the electrode surface of the semiconductor element is used. Aluminum wires are joined and connected.
一方、近年では、熱伝導率、電気伝導率等において有利となる銅線を用いてワイヤボンディングすることが提案され、半導体素子の電極表面に形成されたアルミニウム材や銅材に対して銅線を接続することが行われる。一般に、この銅線には径(直径)75μm以下の細径線と径75μm以上の太径線があり、細径線の場合はボールボンディング技術によって配線され、太径線の場合はウエッジボンディング技術によって接合される。 On the other hand, in recent years, it has been proposed that wire bonding is performed using a copper wire that is advantageous in terms of thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, etc., and the copper wire is attached to the aluminum material or copper material formed on the electrode surface of the semiconductor element. Connecting is done. In general, this copper wire has a thin wire having a diameter (diameter) of 75 μm or less and a thick wire having a diameter of 75 μm or more. Joined by.
このウエッジボンディングに使用されるツールはウエッジツールと言われ、一般的にツール先端は、図2(B)のように90度前後の角度の開口を持つ形状(ツール先端1)となっている。そして、ワイヤボンディングでは、このツール先端で銅線を電極に圧接しかつ超音波振動を与えることで、銅線が半導体素子の電極に接合され、結線される。 A tool used for the wedge bonding is called a wedge tool, and generally, the tool tip has a shape having an opening of about 90 degrees (tool tip 1) as shown in FIG. 2B. In wire bonding, the copper wire is bonded to and connected to the electrode of the semiconductor element by pressing the copper wire to the electrode at the tool tip and applying ultrasonic vibration.
しかしながら、超音波振動を利用した製造方法で径75μm以上の銅線をウエッジボンディングする場合、銅線の材料特性とワイヤボンディング条件によっては、ツール先端が半導体素子の電極表面に接触し、接合部への超音波エネルギーを阻害することとなり、未接合を発生させるという問題点があった。 However, when a copper wire having a diameter of 75 μm or more is wedge-bonded by a manufacturing method using ultrasonic vibration, depending on the material characteristics of the copper wire and the wire bonding conditions, the tip of the tool comes into contact with the electrode surface of the semiconductor element and goes to the joint. In this case, the ultrasonic energy is hindered and unbonded.
一般的に使用されているアルミニウム線のウエッジボンディングの場合は、接合部に超音波エネルギーを印加した際、アルミニウム線が接合部から広がりツール先端下にアルミニウムが配置されるので、ツール先端がアルミニウム線に接触することはなかった。ところが、銅線のウエッジボンディングの場合、接合部に超音波エネルギーを印加しても銅線は接合部から広がらず、ツール先端下に銅が適切に配置されない。この結果、ツール先端が半導体素子の電極表面に接触し、超音波(振動)エネルギーによる接合が良好に行われなかった。 In the case of wedge bonding of commonly used aluminum wire, when ultrasonic energy is applied to the joint, the aluminum wire spreads from the joint and aluminum is placed under the tool tip. There was no contact. However, in the case of wedge bonding of a copper wire, even if ultrasonic energy is applied to the joint portion, the copper wire does not spread from the joint portion, and copper is not properly disposed below the tool tip. As a result, the tip of the tool was in contact with the electrode surface of the semiconductor element, and bonding with ultrasonic (vibration) energy was not performed well.
この問題点の対策として、例えばツール先端を削ったり、図2(B)のツール先端1の開口角度を広げたりすることで、半導体素子電極面とツールの距離を広げ、ツール先端と電極表面との接触を防ぐ方法が行われるが、この場合には、接合部に十分な超音波エネルギーを印加することができないという問題がある。 As a countermeasure for this problem, for example, by cutting the tool tip or widening the opening angle of the tool tip 1 in FIG. 2B, the distance between the semiconductor element electrode surface and the tool is increased, and the tool tip and electrode surface In this case, there is a problem that sufficient ultrasonic energy cannot be applied to the joint.
一方、銅線の硬度を上げることで、銅線の変形を最小限とし、ツール先端と電極表面との接触を防ぐ方法もあるが、この場合、半導体素子へのダメージの懸念が大きくなる。 On the other hand, there is a method of increasing the hardness of the copper wire to minimize the deformation of the copper wire and preventing the contact between the tool tip and the electrode surface. In this case, however, the risk of damage to the semiconductor element increases.
また、本出願人は、銅太線のワイヤボンディングにおいて、半導体素子の電極として例えばチタン層の上にアルミニウム層を形成し、チタン層と銅線(ワイヤ)との間に、銅−アルミニウム化合物を形成することで、強固な接合強度、高耐熱化を図ることを提案している。しかし、この場合でも、超音波エネルギーが十分に与えられない結果、銅線とチタン層(アルミニウム下層)との間にピュアなアルミニウムが残り、良好な接合状態が得られないという不都合があった。 In addition, the present applicant forms, for example, an aluminum layer on a titanium layer as an electrode of a semiconductor element in copper thick wire bonding, and forms a copper-aluminum compound between the titanium layer and the copper wire (wire). By doing so, it has been proposed to achieve strong bonding strength and high heat resistance. However, even in this case, the ultrasonic energy is not sufficiently applied, and as a result, pure aluminum remains between the copper wire and the titanium layer (aluminum lower layer), and there is a disadvantage that a good bonded state cannot be obtained.
本発明は上記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、ツール先端が半導体素子の電極表面に接触することなく、接合部に十分な超音波エネルギーを印加した製造が可能となり、銅太線においても強固な接合ができるボンディングツールを用いた半導体装置の製造方法を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and the object thereof is to enable manufacture in which a sufficient ultrasonic energy is applied to the joint without the tool tip being in contact with the electrode surface of the semiconductor element. An object of the present invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device using a bonding tool capable of strong bonding even with a thick line.
上記目的を達成するために、請求項1に係る発明は、表面に所定の金属層を形成した電極に対し、超音波振動を与えながら銅線をボンディングツールにより接合する半導体装置の製造方法において、上記ツール先端の中央部に超音波振動方向に長くなる溝を設けたボンディングツールを用い、このボンディングツールの溝を上記銅線に食い付かせながらこの溝の長手方向に沿って超音波振動を与えることを特徴とする。
請求項2に係る発明は、上記電極表面の金属層をアルミニウム層とし、このアルミニウム層中のアルミニウムを接合部外へ掻き出しながら上記銅線と上記電極のアルミニウム下層の金属との間に、銅−アルミニウム化合物を形成したことを特徴とする。
In order to achieve the above object, an invention according to claim 1 is a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device in which a copper wire is bonded by a bonding tool while applying ultrasonic vibration to an electrode having a predetermined metal layer formed on a surface thereof. A bonding tool having a groove extending in the ultrasonic vibration direction at the center of the tool tip is used, and ultrasonic vibration is applied along the longitudinal direction of the groove while the groove of the bonding tool bites the copper wire. It is characterized by that.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, an aluminum layer is used as the metal layer on the surface of the electrode, and a copper- An aluminum compound is formed.
本発明の構成によれば、超音波振動方向に沿った溝を持つツール先端が銅線に食い付くように圧接され、この状態で超音波振動を与えることで、溝部分から接合部に超音波エネルギーが十分に印加されることになり、例えば電極上面のピュアなアルミニュウムが溝の長手方向の両端から接合部外へ掻き出され、銅−アルミニウム化合物が形成されることで、銅線(ワイヤ)は半導体素子電極に強固に接合される。 According to the configuration of the present invention, the tool tip having a groove along the ultrasonic vibration direction is pressed so as to bite into the copper wire, and in this state, ultrasonic vibration is applied from the groove portion to the joint. Enough energy is applied, for example, pure aluminum on the upper surface of the electrode is scraped out of the joint from both ends in the longitudinal direction of the groove to form a copper-aluminum compound, thereby forming a copper wire (wire) Is firmly bonded to the semiconductor element electrode.
本発明のボンディングツールを用いた半導体装置の製造方法によれば、ツール先端が半導体素子の電極表面に接触することなく、接合部に十分な超音波エネルギーを印加した製造ができ、特に径75μm以上の太線において、強固な接合、結線が可能となる。また、銅線の材料特性によらず、ボンディングできることから、半導体素子へのダメージのリスクも減らすことができ、銅線材料硬度の選定の必要がない。 According to the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device using the bonding tool of the present invention, it is possible to manufacture the semiconductor device by applying sufficient ultrasonic energy to the joint without contacting the tip of the tool to the electrode surface of the semiconductor element. In this thick line, strong bonding and connection are possible. Further, since bonding can be performed regardless of the material characteristics of the copper wire, the risk of damage to the semiconductor element can be reduced, and there is no need to select the copper wire material hardness.
請求項2の発明のように、表面にアルミニウム層を有する電極に銅線を接合する場合では、径75μm以上の銅太線であっても、接合領域にピュアなアルミニウムを残すことなく、銅線とアルミニウム下層金属との間に、アルミニウムと銅の金属間化合物が良好に形成され、強固な接合強度、高耐熱化が得られるという利点がある。 In the case of joining a copper wire to an electrode having an aluminum layer on the surface as in the invention of claim 2, even if the copper wire has a diameter of 75 μm or more, the copper wire and the copper wire are not left in the joining region. There is an advantage that an intermetallic compound of aluminum and copper is formed favorably between the aluminum lower layer metal and strong bonding strength and high heat resistance can be obtained.
図1は、実施例で用いられるボンディングツールの構成であり、図1(A),(B)には、図1(C)のボンディングツール(ウエッジツール)10のツール先端(面)11(第1例),12(第2例)が示されている。図1(A)の第1例のツール先端11は、両端(縁)に端側凸部(土手部)11aが設けられることで、その中央部に超音波印加による振動方向50に沿って長くなる溝11bが形成される。また、この溝11bの中には、上面が平面となる1つの凸部14(その他は凹部となる)が設けられる。即ち、ツール先端11は、両端の端側凸部11aが最も隆起し、超音波振動方向50に沿った溝11b内には中央凸部14を有し、この溝11bの長手方向の端部は開放される。上記溝11bは、ボンディングされる銅線(金属ワイヤ)に食い付いてこの銅線をしっかり把持、固定する役目をし、また中央凸部14も、銅線への食い付きを補強し向上させる役目をする。
FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a bonding tool used in the embodiment. FIGS. 1A and 1B show a tool tip (surface) 11 (first) of a bonding tool (wedge tool) 10 in FIG. 1 example) and 12 (second example) are shown. The
図1(B)の第2例のツール先端12でも、両端に端側凸部(土手部)12aが設けられることで、その中央部に超音波振動方向50に沿って長くなる溝12bが形成され、この溝11bの中には、凹部15が形成されることで、上面が平面となる2つの凸部16が設けられる。即ち、ツール先端12は、両端の端側凸部12aが最も隆起し、超音波振動方向50に沿った溝12b内には2つの凸部16を有し、この溝12bの長手方向の端部は開放される。この溝12bにおいても、ボンディングされる銅線に食い付いてこの銅線をしっかり把持、固定する役目をし、また凹部15も銅線への食い付きを補強し向上させる役目をする。
Also in the
図2(A)には、図1(B)のツール先端を振動方向50から見た断面が示されており、実施例では、このツール先端12のように、溝12b内における銅線を圧接する先端面を平面とすることが好ましく、図1(A)においては、凸部14の上面を平面とし、図1(B)においては、凸部16の上面を平面とすることで、超音波振動(エネルギー)が所望の範囲においてシンプルな形で効率良く接合部へ印加されるようにしている。即ち、図2(B)に示されるように、従来において径75μm以上のアルミニウム線を結線する際に使用されるボンディングツールのツール先端1では、90度前後の角度で開口し、隅部(縁部)が尖った形状とされているが、このような形状の場合、ツール先端1の下に銅が配置されないため、接合部に十分な超音波エネルギーを印加することができない。
FIG. 2A shows a cross section of the tool tip of FIG. 1B as viewed from the
そこで、実施例では、ツール先端11,12において、溝11b,12bを銅線に食い付かせると共に、銅線を主に押える面、即ち凸部14,16を平面とすることで、このツール先端11,12から超音波振動を接合部へ良好に伝達するようにしている。
Therefore, in the embodiment, the
図3には、実施例のボンディングツール[図(A)は第1例、図(B)は第2例]で銅線18を電極19に接合する時(銅線中央部)の状態が示されており、第1例のツール先端11の場合は、溝11bが銅線18に食い付くと共に、図3(A)に示されるように、凸部14にて溝Gaを作ることで、銅線18に食い付き、主にこの溝Ga(凸部14)から接合部に超音波を与えることができる。第2例のツール先端12の場合は、溝12bが銅線18に食い付くと共に、図3(B)に示されるように、凹部15にて凸部Gbを作ることで、銅線18に食い付き、主にこの凸部Gbの両側(凸部16)から接合部に超音波を与えることができる。
FIG. 3 shows a state when the
このような実施例によれば、ツール先端11,12で銅線18を確実に圧接しながら、超音波振動を溝11b,12bの長手方向に沿って与える(振動方向50と溝の長手方向を一致させる)ことで、超音波振動を接合部に対し効率良く十分に供給することができ、銅線18が電極19に強固な状態で接合される。例えば、電極の上面金属と銅線との化合物を形成する場合には、上面のピュアな金属を接合部の外(振動方向50の外側)へ掻き出しながら、上面金属と銅線の化合物を形成することができる。
According to such an embodiment, the ultrasonic vibration is applied along the longitudinal direction of the
図3(A),(B)から分かるように、第2例のツール先端12は、第1例に比べて先端面12aの振動方向50での面積が広いことから、超音波振動を印加する領域が広くなるので、第2例のツール先端12は接合エリアが広い場合、第1例のツール先端11は接合エリアが比較的狭い場合に適用される。
As can be seen from FIGS. 3A and 3B, the
図4には、実施例において、所定の金属層(例えばチタン層)の上にアルミニウム層を形成した電極19に、例えば第1例のツール先端11を用い、銅線18を接続した場合の接合状態(断面構成)が示されており、この図4に示されるように、電極19のアルミニウム下層金属(チタン層)19tと銅線18との間には、ピュアなアルミニウムが存在しない結果となった。即ち、図示していないが、銅線18と電極19との間には(図の銅線18側に)、100nm程度の厚さの銅−アルミニウム化合物(金属間化合物)が形成されると共に、この化合物形成に貢献しないピュアなアルミニウムは、接合部の外へ掻き出される。
In FIG. 4, in the embodiment, for example, when the
図1(A)の第1例のツール先端11では、図3(A)で示されるように、接合部の中央部から超音波が与えられるので、アルミニウムを接合部の外(超音波振動方向50の外側)へ掻き出し易く、図1(B)の第2例のツール先端12でも、図3(B)に示されるように、超音波振動が広いエリアに伝わることから、接合エリアが広い場合でも、良好な接合が可能となる。なお、この図3(B)の場合、ピュアなアルミニウムが接合中心部に僅かに残ることがあるが、接合の信頼性の評価に影響しない程度であった。
In the first example of the
図5には、ツール先端がワッフルタイプとなるボンディングツールを用い、図4の場合と同様に下層金属(チタン層)の上にアルミニウム層を形成した電極19に銅線18を結線するワイヤボンディングが示されており、このワッフルタイプのツール先端21は、図5(A)のように、菱形の凸部22と凹部23から構成されるが、このツール先端21を用いると、接合時には、図5(B)のように、超音波の印加点を接合内部に多数個持つことになる。そのため、ピュアなアルミニウム24が接合部外に掻き出されず、図5(C)の断面構成のように、電極19のアルミニウム下層金属(チタン層)19tと銅線18との間に、ピュアなアルミニウム24が残る結果となった。
FIG. 5 shows a wire bonding method in which a
実施例によれば、ツール先端11,12の中央部に超音波振動方向50に長くなる溝11b,12bを設け、またこの溝内の超音波振動方向の中央部に1つの凸部14又は凹部15を形成したウエッジツールを用い、このツール先端11,12を銅線18に食い付かせながら超音波振動による接合を行うので、強固な接合強度が得られ、耐熱化を強化した接合が実現可能となる。
