Description of the Related Art For example, electrodes are formed on a substrate made of, for example, glass epoxy, a semiconductor chip is mounted on the substrate, and pads of the semiconductor chip and the electrodes are connected to each other by wires made of ultrafine gold wires. Wire bonding methods are widely used.

金層を形成して成る多層構造を有するものである。[0003] The above-mentioned electrodes are formed by applying gold plating on pads of a circuit pattern made of a copper base or the like formed on a substrate. However, when applying gold plating, there is almost no direct gold plating on the pad, and in order to prevent surface contamination due to diffusion of metal atoms such as copper atoms, which are the material of the pad, inexpensive nickel is used as a base plating. Often applied. That is, the electrode has a multilayer structure in which a nickel layer is formed as an intermediate layer on a pad, and a gold layer is formed as a surface layer on the nickel layer.

ワイヤボンディングが行われていた。By the way, after wire bonding is performed on the above-mentioned electrode, it is necessary that a sufficient bonding strength is secured at a bonding portion between the lower end of the wire and the electrode. Here, conventionally, it has been empirically considered that this bonding strength varies depending on the thickness of the gold layer, and it is necessary to increase the thickness of the gold layer (for example, 0.5 μm or more) in order to have sufficient bonding strength. In practice, a thick gold layer was formed before wire bonding was performed.

In addition, not only wires but also chip electrodes are bonded to the electrodes of this type of substrate,
Also in this case, it is necessary to secure a sufficient bonding strength, so that there is a problem similar to the wire bonding in that the gold layer must be thickened.

約30MPa程度必要とされている。As a method of forming the electrode 2, a displacement plating method, a reduction plating method, and an electrolytic plating method are known. FIG. 9 shows that, for each of these plating methods, the present inventors performed the above-described wire bonding on the heat treatment time in the curing furnace 5 and the substrate 1 that was heat-treated for the heat treatment time. The results obtained by experimentally determining the shear strength at the portion are shown. FIG.
In (a) to (c), hatched portions indicate common-sense heat treatment times, and the temperature T in the curing furnace 5 was set to 180 ° C. In the drawing, the thickness means the thickness of the gold layer 2c,
The shear strength at the joint is required to be about 30 MPa as shown by a chain line.

形成には不適であるとされている。Now, as shown in FIG. 1A, the ultra-thin (0.05 μm thick) gold layer 2c is formed by the displacement plating method, but without performing any heat treatment. By wire bonding, sufficient shear strength can be secured. However, when wire bonding is performed after performing common-sense heat treatment, the shear strength is reduced, and 30M
It has fallen below Pa. As described above, in the conventional displacement plating method, the shear strength of the bonding portion is insufficient. Therefore, the displacement plating method is considered to be unsuitable for forming an electrode for performing wire bonding.

技術の項で述べた通りである。Next, as shown in FIG. 2B or 2C, in the reduction plating method or the electrolytic plating method, an electrode having a thin gold layer 2c (thickness of 0.15 μm) is used. ,
If wire bonding is performed after common-sense heat treatment, the shear strength is insufficient, which is inappropriate. However, when the gold layer 2c is thick (0.5 μm or 0.8 μm in thickness), a sufficient shear strength can be ensured even if wire bonding is performed after the above heat treatment. Therefore, conventionally, it is said that it is necessary to form a thick gold layer 2c by a reduction plating method or an electrolytic plating method in order to form an electrode for performing wire bonding. However, forming the thick gold layer 2c in this way increases the cost, as described in the section of the prior art.

が分かった。Here, the inventor of the present invention examines how the difference in the thickness of the gold layer 2c has an effect, by referring to FIG.
The concentration distribution in the thickness direction was determined for the electrode 2 (the common-sense heat treatment) described in (a). The result is as shown in FIG. In the figure, the solid line indicates the concentration of gold, the broken line indicates the concentration of nickel, and the chain line indicates the concentration of oxygen. This oxygen is oxygen contained in nickel hydroxide Ni (OH) 2 or the like. From FIG. 1, it was found that nickel or a part of its compound in the nickel layer 2b was diffused into the gold layer 2c. Further, it was found that the concentration of nickel or its compound was increased in the surface layer portion of the gold layer 2c which was the above-mentioned joint portion.

(OH) 2 ). Further, when the surface layer of the gold layer 2c was cut by about 10 nm by a normal argon gas sputtering method, it was also found that nickel hydroxide (Ni (OH) 2 ) was significantly reduced as shown in the lower part of FIG. did.

ものと考えられる。FIG. 3 is a photograph of the joint portion between the gold layer 2c and the wire 6 taken one million times larger. FIG.
Among them, the dark portion indicated by A is the wire 6, and the dark portion indicated by B is the gold layer 2c. Foreign matter C (appears whitish) intervenes at these boundaries, and from the above data, it is considered that the foreign matter C is nickel hydroxide. Summarizing the above, by the heat treatment in the curing furnace 5, a part of nickel in the nickel layer 2b becomes
The metal 6 is diffused into the gold layer 2c and combined with moisture and the like contained in the substrate 1 to be present in the form of nickel hydroxide on the surface layer of the gold layer 2c, thereby forming the wire 6 (the gold of the polar wire as described above). It is considered that this hinders the bonding between the electrode 2 and the gold layer 2c of the electrode 2, and as a result, the shear strength of these bonded portions is reduced.

いためと思われる。The reason that the greater the thickness of the gold layer 2c, the lower the shear strength after the heat treatment from the shear strength before the heat treatment is that nickel or a compound thereof diffuses into the gold layer 2c. Presumably, it is difficult to reach the surface layer portion due to the thick gold layer 2c.

たためと考えられる。The present inventor further studied the electrode 2 (lower part in FIG. 2) obtained by removing the surface layer of the ultrathin (0.05 μm) gold layer 2c formed by the displacement plating method by about 10 nm.
The shear strength of the above-mentioned joint and the concentration distribution of the surface layer newly exposed to the outside by the removal were determined. The results are as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). First, regarding the shear strength of the above-mentioned joint portion, one having a sufficient shear strength before the heat treatment loses the shear strength extremely by the heat treatment for 2 hours, but as shown in the right column of FIG.
When the surface layer was removed, it was found that sufficient shear strength was obtained and that the material could be used practically. Regarding the concentration distribution in the surface layer, as shown in the right column of FIG.
When the surface layer is removed, the concentration of nickel and the concentration of oxygen decrease, and the concentration of gold relatively increases. This is probably because nickel hydroxide (Ni (OH) 2 ) in the surface layer was removed.

It has been found that even with such an extremely thin gold layer, a sufficient shear strength can be obtained by removing the surface layer and removing nickel hydroxide. Of course, even when a thicker gold layer is formed by the reduction plating method or the electrolytic plating method, the same effect can be obtained by removing the surface layer portion, and these plating methods are also included in the present means.

Means such as adding a tamping device to the wire bonding device is also effective. In addition, not only wires but also electrodes such as outer leads of a chip are bonded to the electrodes of this type of substrate. However, the substrate of the present invention can be applied to such bonding in the same manner as wire bonding, and is similar to wire bonding. The operation and effect of the invention can be obtained.

トを抑えることができる。According to the present invention, a surface layer portion of an electrode is thinly removed on a substrate having an electrode formed by forming a nickel layer as an intermediate layer on a pad and forming a gold layer as a surface layer on the nickel layer. Since the nickel hydroxide component is removed, sufficient shear strength can be obtained even with a thin gold layer in bonding wires and the like. Therefore, the amount of expensive gold used can be greatly reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the substrate can be reduced.
