However, in recent years, further miniaturization and integration of ICs have been performed, and the number of electrodes has increased.
It has become a problem that the area occupied by the electrodes becomes too large. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to reduce the diameter of the wire. However, if the current wire is reduced, the rate of disconnection during wiring and during use is high and cannot be put to practical use.

そのため現状ワイヤでは、ボンディングワイヤの特性

Therefore, it has been considered that the current wire has a limit of about 20 μm in wire diameter as a characteristic of the bonding wire.

In JP-A-56-49534 and JP-A-56-49535, it is said that by adding Pt up to 30 wt% or Pd up to 40 wt% to Au, the strength of the wire can be increased and the wire can be thinned. Although there are proposals, if the alloy element content exceeds a certain limit, the hardness of the ball formed at the time of joining increases, the load required for thermocompression bonding increases, and problems such as damaging the silicon chip of the IC occur . Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-15958 proposes an Au-based alloy wire as a bonding wire having good thermocompression bonding property for electrode wiring in which a different element is mixed into Al. Therefore, there is a demand for a new bonding wire that can reduce the size and density of the IC without specially changing the conventionally used IC and the bonding method.

In the semiconductor device bonding wire of the present invention,
The reason why Cu contained less than 1 to 5 wt% in Au is that the complete solid solution of Cu not only improves the strength of the bus bar, but also increases the bonding strength. Even with a thin wire having a wire diameter of 20 μm or less, a breaking strength of 4 gr or more can be satisfied if Cu is contained at 1% or more. With this feature, an increase in strength is observed with an increase in the content of Cu, but if it exceeds 5%, a problem occurs in corrosion resistance and reliability after a long time is impaired. Further, when the Cu content reaches 5%, the hardness of the ball formed at the time of joining increases, and the load required for thermocompression bonding increases, thereby damaging the silicon chip.

なお、原料となるAu、Cuは不純物の含有量が多いと製
品の特性が不安定となることと、細線化や接合時に破断

ましい。
In addition, since Au and Cu as raw materials have a high impurity content, the characteristics of the product become unstable, and the wire may be broken at the time of thinning or joining, it is preferable to have a high purity of 99.9% or more. .

It is presumed that such effects are obtained by the inclusion of Cu due to solid solution strengthening and formation of ordered lattices.
Pt works to promote this effect. If the content is less than 1 to 5 wt%, there is no effect if less than 5 wt%, and if it exceeds the upper limit, disadvantages such as decrease in ductility and increase in hardness of the ball occur.

It is desirable to perform a heat treatment at a temperature of 200 to 600 ° C. and an appropriate time in order to maintain appropriate ductility and sufficient strength, excluding processing strain introduced during wire drawing.

The as-drawn fine wire does not have ductility (elongation), and has a strong curl due to processing distortion, so that it may not be usable, so that it is usually subjected to annealing heat treatment. In general, the higher the heat treatment temperature and the longer the heat treatment, the lower the strength and the higher the ductility.However, the degree depends on the content of the alloy components, so the heat treatment conditions according to the wire diameter and the components You need to choose In addition, the heat treatment promotes recrystallization and grain growth of the structure, but when the crystal grain size approaches the wire diameter, both the strength and ductility are significantly reduced. Therefore, the selection of the heat treatment condition is particularly important in the case of a fine wire. .
