2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, when wire-bonding a terminal portion of an IC chip mounted on a lead frame and an inner lead portion of a lead frame, the bonding work is generally performed in the following manner. That is, first, ball bonding (first bonding) is performed on one end of a bonding wire sequentially fed from the capillary of the bonding apparatus to the terminal of the IC chip arranged on the pad portion of the lead frame.

Next, after moving the capillary upward by a predetermined height (reverse height), the capillary is moved substantially horizontally in a direction opposite to the inner lead portion of the lead frame to be bonded by a predetermined distance (reverse amount). (reverse)
Let At this time, the bonding wire extending from the end of the wire bonded to the terminal portion of the IC chip to the capillary is obliquely projected to the side opposite to the inner lead portion to be secondly bonded. The tilt angle at this time is called a reverse angle. The reason for moving the capillaries as described above is to stabilize the loop height and loop shape of the bonding wire after the second bonding is completed.

Next, the capillary is raised until the length of the bonding wire extending from the tip of the capillary reaches a desired length, and then moved to the inner lead portion of the lead frame to bond (first) to the inner lead portion. 2 bonding). In this way, the terminal portion of the IC chip and the inner lead portion of the lead frame are connected by the bonding wire.

In the above bonding process,
The reverse causes stress distortion in the ball neck portion of the first bonding. This stress strain is more likely to occur as the reverse angle θ is larger. The greater the stress strain, the more likely the wire strength will decrease.

By the way, when a new bonding wire is developed or various electronic devices are manufactured using the bonding wire, the wire strength is important.
As described above, the conventional method cannot accurately evaluate the wire strength. For this reason, the wire strength must be estimated from the evaluation value by relying on empirical rules, etc., and there is a problem that the quality of the wire tends to be excessive and the material cost and the production cost tend to increase.

That is, this is a method of evaluating the strength of the ball neck portion when a bonding wire is bonded by a pull test using a tweezers tensile tester, and a length that can be sufficiently sandwiched by a tweezer jig from a bonding position to be measured. Cut the wire at a certain position, while keeping the angle between the wire and the lead frame as it is, tilt the sample table with the lead frame fixed and pinch the end of the wire with the tweezer jig set in the tensile tester. , The strength at the time of breaking the ball neck portion by pulling upward is determined, and the angle formed by the sample table and the horizontal plane is 56 to 66.
The angle formed by the wire and the horizontal plane (pulling angle) is between 65 ° and 75 ° immediately before the wire is loaded and cut when the wire is pulled by the tweezers jig.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the tweezers tensile test, the angle between the sample table and the horizontal plane is 56 to 66 °.
This is because the wire is tilted in the cut state so that excess bonding is not applied to the bonding portion when the wire is pulled up by the tweezer jig.

Further, the tensile angle is set within the range of 65 ° to 75 ° with the sample stage tilted. The tensile strength is measured by using a tweezers tensile tester if the sample is pulled at this angle. At this time, the performance of the bonding wire can be quantitatively judged and evaluated without observing the occurrence of wrinkles and thinning by enlarging and observing the ball neck portion as in the conventional case.

The bonding wire has a purity of 99.9.
A 9% gold wire (4N wire) and a 99% pure gold wire (alloy wire) are used to evaluate the stress strain generated in the ball neck portion of the first bonding to the chip terminal portion due to the reverse at the time of bonding. Therefore, the reverse angle was variously changed and the terminal portion of the IC chip and the inner lead portion of the lead frame were bonded.
The reverse angle was calculated from the reverse height H and the reverse amount L.

Then, the breaking strength was determined according to the method of the present invention in which the ball neck portion of each loop was pulled at a pulling angle of 74 °. The pulling angle means an angle formed by the wire and the horizontal plane immediately before the wire is loaded and cut when the wire is pulled by the tweezers jig.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the lead frame is fixed to the sample stand, and the bonded wire is cut from the first bonding position at a position where it can be sufficiently sandwiched by a tweezer jig, Inclining the sample table so that the angle when the wire breaks and the horizontal plane (pulling angle) is about 74 °, sandwich the end of the wire with the tweezer jig set in the pulling tester, Then, the strength at the time of breaking the ball neck portion was determined. At this time, the angle formed by the sample table and the horizontal plane was 65 °.

The results obtained by the conventional method and the results obtained by the method of the present invention are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0024] As is clear from Tables 1 and 2, the gold wires used in this example with the purity of 99.99% and 99%,
When the reverse angle is set to 40 ° and 70 ° and bonding is performed, wrinkles and thinning are respectively observed in the external appearance. It can be seen that sufficient strength is assured.

Therefore, it has been evaluated that the strength is deteriorated due to the occurrence of wrinkles and thinning only by the conventional appearance observation, but the judgment is not proper, and the excessive quality is required, which hinders the improvement of productivity. It is thought that

As described above, it is not appropriate to evaluate the performance of the bonding wire only by observing the appearance. On the other hand, according to the present invention, the bonding strength can be appropriately judged and evaluated regardless of the appearance of the bonded wire, and it is also effective for the evaluation of each wire type and the judgment of the allowable reverse angle. is there.

In the present examination example, the sample stage is tilted, but as shown in FIG. 2, even if the wire is gently raised with the sample stage horizontal, the measurement can be made so that the pulling angle is 65 to 75 °. A result similar to the method of the invention is obtained, but it requires skill and reliance on the device to be able to cause the wire to be substantially free of external stress on it. However, it is not a simple method in any case.
