Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ワイヤボンディング用のツールに接触して支持されたワイヤを、このツールを介して加圧しながら振動させることにより、電子部品と相手側部材とをワイヤボンディングするようにした電子部品の接続方法、いわゆるウェッジボンディングによる電子部品の接続方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
この種のウェッジボンディングによる接続方法は、一般に、電子部品としてSiチップよりなるパワーデバイス(IGBT素子やパワーMOS素子等)等を用い、相手側部材として配線基板上の銅(Cu)等よりなるターミナル等を用いる。そして、上記Siチップ上のアルミニウム(Al)等よりなる電極と上記ターミナルとをAl等よりなるワイヤにて結線するものである。
【0003】
従来のウェッジボンディング方法を図8の概略断面図に示す。これは、まず、図8(a)に示す様に、ボンディングツールJ1に接触支持されたワイヤJ2を被接合材(例えばSiチップ上の電極等)J3に接触させる。次に、図8(b)に示す様に、このツールJ1を介して、ワイヤJ2を被接合材J3に対し、一定圧力で加圧して押さえた状態で超音波振動で擦りあわせて接合する。最終的な接合状態を最終的に図8(c)に示す。
【0004】
ここで、ワイヤJ2と被接合材J3を擦りあわせるためには、ツールJ1とワイヤJ2とがしっかり拘束しあっていることが必要で、拘束するために加圧力を大きくする。その加圧力により、図8(b)に示す様に、ワイヤJ2の中心部J4がつぶれ、ワイヤJ2と被接合材J3との接触面積が大きくなる。そして、ツールJ1が振動すると、ツールJ1に拘束されたワイヤJ2も振動し、接触域の外周部より外側に向かって接合する。
【0005】
より詳細な最終的な接合状態を、図9に示す。なお、図9(a)の上側部分は図8(c)と同じものであり、図9において(b)は(a)中のA−A断面図である。最終的な接触域におけるワイヤJ2の中心部J4は、上記図8(b)にて述べた様に、加圧によって最初からつぶれているので、接合されず、超音波エネルギーによりつぶれていった周縁部J6のみが接合する。そのため、図9(a)及び(b)の各下側部分に示す様に、上記接触域界面でみた接合部領域J5はドーナツ状となる。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、パワーデバイス(Siチップ)においては、大電流を流すことによってSiチップが発熱するのであるが、AlとSiのように熱膨張係数の大きく異なる材料を加熱すると熱応力が発生する。よって、冷熱環境下、ワイヤ(Al)とパワーデバイス(Si)との接合部においては、両者の熱膨張係数差によって、上記熱応力が繰り返し発生し、該接合部にクラックが生じ破壊するという問題がある。
【0007】
図10は上記図8(c)及び図9に示した最終的な接合状態における上記熱応力の大きさの分布を示すもので、接触域におけるワイヤJ2の周縁部(ボンディング周縁部)J6が大きく、中心部J4が小さい。そのため、中心部J4を接合することが冷熱耐久信頼性向上のため、重要である。
【0008】
現在、ボンディング中に超音波出力と加圧力を制御できるボンダ(加圧・出力制御ボンダ)がある。本発明者は、この加圧・出力制御ボンダ用いて、初期加圧を下げることで、初期のワイヤつぶれを小さくし、ワイヤと被接合材の接触域において中心部から周縁部にかけて接合することを試みた。
【0009】
しかし、初期加圧を下げると、ボンディング時のツールの振幅により、ワイヤがツールから逃げるため、ツールによる安定したワイヤの拘束が困難であり、接合を開始させるための凝着核ができない。これは、初期加圧を下げることでワイヤの変形が小さく、ワイヤとツールが接する部分(上記図8中の太線J7に図示)の面積が小さくなるため、ワイヤ/ツール間の摩擦力が不十分となることによる。それにより、ワイヤとツールとの接触部が滑ってワイヤがツールのウェッジ部から外れたり、ワイヤとツールの接触部が滑ってツールの振幅(振動)が十分にワイヤに伝達しない。
【0010】
そのため、加圧・出力制御ボンダを使用しても、制御無しのボンダ(加圧一定ボンダ)に比べ、初期出力を下げることで、上記図9に示したようなドーナツ状の接合部領域J5に比べて、やや内側から接合するものの、中心部まで接合ができず信頼性の大幅な向上は難しい。特に、φ400μm、φ500μmなどの極太ワイヤでは耐久信頼性が劣っている。
【0011】
そこで、本発明は上記問題に鑑み、ウェッジボンディングによる電子部品の接続方法において、ワイヤとツールとの間の摩擦力を大きくすることにより、初期加圧を下げても、ボンディングツールの振動時にワイヤがツールから逃げないようにすることを目的とする。
【0012】
上記目的を達成するため、請求項1記載の発明では、ウェッジボンディングによる電子部品の接続方法において、ワイヤ(20)よりも硬い部材よりなる治具(30)を用意し、ツール(10)としてV溝形状もしくはU溝形状をなすものを用い、この溝に拘束されるように該ツールに接触して支持された該ワイヤを、該治具に押し当てることにより、該ワイヤと該ツールとの接触面積を増大させた後、該ワイヤを電子部品(1)に押し当て、該ツールを介して加圧しながら振動させることにより、該ワイヤを該電子部品に接続し、続いて、該ワイヤを相手側部材(4)まで引き回し、該ツールを介して加圧しながら振動させることにより、該ワイヤを該相手側部材に接続するようにしたことを特徴としている。
【0013】
本接続方法によれば、予め電子部品とワイヤとのボンディング前に、ワイヤとツールとの接触面積を増大させることで、ワイヤとツールとの摩擦力を大きくすることができ、初期加圧を下げても、ボンディングツールの振動時にワイヤがツールから逃げないようにすることができる。
【0014】
そして、電子部品とワイヤとのワイヤボンディングにおいて、初期加圧を下げて初期のワイヤつぶれを小さくできるため、ワイヤと電子部品との接触域において中心部から周縁部にかけて接合することが出来る。そして、次工程にて、電子部品と接続されたワイヤを相手側部材にウェッジボンディングすることにより、電子部品と相手側部材とが結線される。
【0015】
このように、本発明によれば、電子部品(パワーデバイス等)とワイヤとの熱膨張係数差の大きい場合でも、両者は接触域において中心部から周縁部にかけて接合されているので、ワイヤ接合部を耐久信頼性の優れたものとできる。
【0016】
また、請求項2記載の発明のように、請求項1記載の接続方法に用いる治具(30)として、ワイヤ(20)が押し当てられる部位に、押し当てられたワイヤを支持する溝部(31)が形成されたものを用い、ワイヤの固定を行うようにすることができる。
【0017】
さらに、上記溝部(31)は、請求項3記載の発明のように、底部(32)には押し当てられたワイヤ(20)が接することなく、側壁面(33)にて該押し当てられたワイヤを支持する形状を有するものとできる。それによって、ワイヤを治具に押し当てたときに、ワイヤにおける電子部品との接触部分のつぶれを抑えることができる。
【0018】
なお、上記各手段の括弧内の符号は、後述する実施形態に記載の具体的手段との対応関係を示す一例である。
【0019】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を図に示す実施形態について説明する。図1は本実施形態に係る電子部品の接続方法による最終的な接続形態を示す概略断面図である。まず、図1において、1は電子部品としてのSiチップよりなるパワーデバイス(IGBT素子やパワーMOS素子等)であり、2はセラミック基板等の配線基板である。
【0020】
パワーデバイス1は、配線基板2の一面上にCuやNi等よりなる金属導体3を介して搭載されている。この金属導体3は配線基板2の配線部を構成するものである。また、配線基板2の一面上には、相手側部材としてのCuやNi等よりなるターミナル4が金属導体3と絶縁して形成されている。
【0021】
そして、上記パワーデバイス1に形成された図示しないアルミニウム(Al)等よりなる電極パッドとターミナル4とは、ウェッジボンディングにより形成されたワイヤ5にて結線されている。このワイヤ5は主として、φ250μm〜φ500μm、あるいはφ500μm以上の太線が適用され、その材質は99.99%以上のAlを用いるが、Al以外の微量の添加元素が含まれていることもある。
【0022】
次に、図2〜図4を参照して、本実施形態に係る接続方法を、工程順に述べていく。図2は本接続方法の工程図を示す概略断面図、図3は本製造方法における加圧・超音波振幅の様子を示す説明図、図4はボンディング時における加圧・超音波出力のプロフィールを示す図である。
【0023】
図2及び図3において、10は加圧・出力制御ボンダにおけるボンディングツールであり、タングステンカーバイド(WC)等よりなる。また、20は上記ワイヤ5を形成するためのボンディングワイヤである。ツール10の先端部のウェッジで、ボンディングワイヤ20を拘束するが、ツール10の先端部形状はV溝、U溝どちらでも構わない(図ではV溝形状としている)。ツール10は、圧電セラミックス等の振動子により超音波振動するトランスジューサ(図示せず)に取り付けられており、該トランスジューサの動きにより、ツール10の加圧制御や振動制御を行うようになっている。
【0024】
30はボンディング前処理用治具(本発明でいう治具、以下、単に治具という)である。治具30の表面には、溝(本発明でいう溝部)31が切ってあり、その溝31にボンディングワイヤ20を入れ、該ワイヤ20を押さえつけて変形できるようになっている。ここで、図5は治具30の斜視図であり、対応するツール10及びボンディングワイヤ20も示してある。
【0025】
溝31の形状は特に限定しないが(図ではV溝で示してある)、溝31の幅Wは、ワイヤ20の径よりも小さく、溝の深さDは、ワイヤ20がツール10により押しつけられたときにワイヤ20が溝31の底部32に接しない深さがあり、溝31の長さLは、ツール10のワイヤ押さえ長さよりも長いことが必要である。このような溝31の形状とすることで、ワイヤ20が押しつけられたときに、溝31の底部32にはワイヤ20が接することなく、溝31の側壁面33にてワイヤ20を支持するようになっている。
【0026】
また、ワイヤ20を押しつけたとき、ツール10のフラット部が治具30に接しないことも必要である。これは、上記のようにツール10がWC等の固いけれど脆い材料よりなるため、ツール10が治具30に接することでツール10が破損する恐れがあるためである。よって、使用するワイヤ径、ボンディングツール形状によって、治具30の形状は異なる。また治具30の材質は、この治具30がワイヤ20を変形させるためのものであるため、ワイヤ20よりも固く、靱性が高くなくてはならない。一例として工具鋼がある。
【0027】
なお、パワーデバイス1、このパワーデバイス1と結線されるターミナル4、及び、治具30は、ボンディングツール10が動く範囲にあることが必要である。このとき、ツール10が動いて上記部材1、4、30の上に来ても良いし、上記部材1、4、30が例えばX−Yテーブル等により動かされて、ツール10の下に来るようにしても良い。
【0028】
そして、本接続方法においては、まず、図2(a)に示す様に、治具30はパワーデバイス1の近傍に配置するとともに、ボンディングワイヤ20を接触支持して拘束したツール10を治具30の溝部31の上に位置させる。次に、図2(b)及び図3(a)に示す工程を行う。なお、図3(a)は図2(b)を横方向からみたものに相当する。この工程は、ツール10に接触して支持されたボンディングワイヤ20を治具30の溝部31に押し当てることにより、該ワイヤ20とツール10との接触面積を増大させる工程である。
【0029】
ツール10を介しボンディングワイヤ20を加圧して溝部31に押し当てると、溝部31において、ワイヤ20が変形し、ワイヤ20とツール10間の接触面積M1が広がる。また、ワイヤ20は溝31の底部32と接しないため、ワイヤ20の下部(ツール10との接触部とは反対側の部位)は変形しない。また、このとき、ワイヤ20には超音波出力を加えない。そのため、ワイヤ20と治具30間で接合することはない。この工程における加圧力は、ボンディングするワイヤ径に応じて決まるが、例えば上記接触面積M1を大きくするためボンディングで使用する加圧力以上とできる。
【0030】
次に、図2(c)及び図3(b)、(c)に示す工程を行う。ここで図3(b)は図2(c)を横方向からみたものに相当する。この工程は、ボンディングワイヤ20をパワーデバイス1に押し当て、ツール10を介して加圧しながら振動させることにより、ワイヤ20をパワーデバイス1に接続する工程である。具体的には、ツール10を移動して(あるいは、パワーデバイス1及び治具30が移動して)、パワーデバイス1における上記電極パッドにボンディングワイヤ20を加圧しつつ押し当てる。
【0031】
また、この工程における加圧・超音波出力のプロフィールは、図4のように行う。つまり、まず、超音波出力を加えない状態で、ボンディングワイヤ20を加圧しながらパワーデバイス1に押し当てるのであるが、その加圧力は小さく、ワイヤ20とパワーデバイス1との接触面積M2は非常に小さくなる。この状態で、図4に示す様に、超音波出力を一定値まで上げる。
【0032】
このとき、ツール10とボンディングワイヤ20との接触面積M1は大きいため、超音波出力を加えても、ツール/ワイヤ間の摩擦力によりワイヤ20が拘束されることにより、ワイヤ20が不安定になることがない。この超音波エネルギーにより、上記したワイヤ20とパワーデバイス1との小さな接触部(接触面積M2で示した部分)に凝着核ができ、小さな接合部(初期接合部)となる。
【0033】
そして、図4に示す様に、超音波出力を一定としたまま、加圧力を上げていくと、振動するワイヤ20が徐々に押しつぶされてパワーデバイス1の上記電極パッドと接触していくため、ワイヤ20と上記電極パッドとが溶け合うことにより、初期接合部を起点としてその周囲に接合部が広がっていく。こうして、最終的には、ワイヤ20とパワーデバイス1との接触域において中心部から周縁部にかけて接合された状態となり、ワイヤ20のパワーデバイス1への接続が完了する。
【0034】
なお、図3(b)は、接合初期の状態における加圧・超音波振幅の様子を示すものであるが、加圧及び接合部が小さく、パワーデバイス1へのワイヤ20の固定が十分でないため、超音波振幅は大きい。一方、図3(c)は、接合後期の状態における加圧・超音波振幅の様子を示すものであるが、加圧が大きく、接合部も広がっており、パワーデバイス1へのワイヤ20の固定が十分なため、超音波振幅は小さい。
【0035】
次に、ツール10を移動させて、ボンディングワイヤ20を相手側部材であるターミナル4まで引き回し、ツール10を介して加圧しながら振動させることにより、ワイヤ20をターミナル4に接続する工程を行う。このボンディングでは、ツール/ワイヤ間の接触面積が小さく、摩擦力を期待できないため、加圧力を下げることはできず、上記図8に示したような従来のウェッジボンディング方法を行う。
【0036】
しかし、CuやNi等よりなるターミナル4とAl等よりなるワイヤ20との熱膨張係数差が、パワーデバイス(Si)1とワイヤ20ほど大きく違わないため、中心部の接合性が悪くとも、冷熱耐久信頼性が下がることはない。つまり、図1に示す接続構造の耐久信頼性は、ワイヤ5におけるパワーデバイス1側の接続部で決まる。
【0037】
上記した本実施形態の接続方法をまとめると、まず、前処理用治具30にワイヤ20を当ててワイヤ/ツール間の接触面積M1を大きくし、パワーデバイス1と1stボンディングを行い、2ndボンディングにてターミナル4と接続することで、パワーデバイス1とターミナル4との間の結線ができる。
【0038】
このように、本実施形態の接続方法によれば、予めパワーデバイス(電子部品)1とワイヤ20とのボンディング前に、ワイヤ20とツール10との接触面積M1を増大させることで、ワイヤ20とツール10との摩擦力を大きくすることができ、初期加圧を下げても、ボンディングツール10の振動時にワイヤ20がツール10から逃げないようにすることができる。
【0039】
そして、パワーデバイス1とワイヤ20とのワイヤボンディングにおいて、初期加圧を下げることができ、初期のワイヤつぶれを小さくしてワイヤ20とパワーデバイス1との接触域において中心部から周縁部にかけて接合することが出来る。そのため、熱膨張係数差の大きいパワーデバイス1とワイヤ20との接続において、ワイヤ接合部を耐久信頼性の優れたものとできる。そして、上記した従来の接合状態(周縁部のみが接合したもの)に比べて、ワイヤが剥離するまでの寿命を長くすることが出来る。
【0040】
また、本実施形態の接続方法によれば、治具30の溝部31の形状を、底部32には押し当てられたワイヤ20が接することなく、側壁面33にて押し当てられたワイヤ20を支持するものとしている。そのため、ワイヤ20をパワーデバイス1に押し当てたときに、ワイヤ20におけるパワーデバイス1との接触部分のつぶれを抑え、初期接合部の接触面積M2(図2(c)参照)を小さくでき、結果的に、ワイヤ20とパワーデバイス1との接触域において中心部から周縁部までが接合された状態を効果的に実現できる。
(他の実施形態)
なお、上記実施形態では加圧・出力制御ボンダを使用して、図4に示すプロフィール、即ち加圧力のみ制御して超音波出力の制御をしないものとしたが、図6に示す様に、加圧力及び超音波出力共に制御するものでもよい。図6では、加圧力の上昇とともに、超音波出力も伴って上昇させている。これにより、低加圧時に、大きな超音波出力を加えてしまうことがないため、図3(b)に示したように、超音波振幅の大きな状態となることを抑制できる。
【0041】
そのため、ワイヤ20がパワーデバイス1上を擦ることで、パワーデバイス1に加わるダメージ(例えばボンディング部分の下のトランジスタが破壊すること等)を抑制でき、不良率が低減できる。また、加圧力に応じて適性な超音波出力を付与しているため、より広い接合部領域(ボンディング面積)を実現でき、冷熱耐久性をより向上させることができる。ちなみに、図7に、加圧・出力一定一定ボンダを使用した加圧力及び超音波出力のプロフィールの例を示す。
【0042】
また、治具30においては溝31の代わりに、治具30の表面に突出部を設け、この突出部にて、押し当てられたワイヤ20を支持し、ワイヤ20の下部(ツール10との接触部とは反対側の部位)の変形防止を行うようにしても良い。この場合でも、ワイヤ20とツール10との接触面積M1は大きくなるため、従来のウェッジボンディングに比べて信頼性の高いワイヤと電子部品との接合が得られる。
【0043】
以上述べてきたように、本発明は、電子部品と相手側部材とをウェッジボンディングで結線する電子部品の接続方法において、使用環境の過酷化(大電流化等)に伴う電子部品とボンディングワイヤとの接合部の信頼性向上を目的としたものであり、上記治具を用いてボンディング用のツールとワイヤとの接触面積を増大させることで、結果的に、この目的を達成するものである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the connection of an electronic component in which an electronic component and a mating member are bonded by vibrating a wire supported in contact with a tool for wire bonding while applying pressure through the tool. The present invention relates to a method for connecting electronic components by so-called wedge bonding.
[0002]
[Prior art]
This type of connection method using wedge bonding generally uses a power device (IGBT element, power MOS element, etc.) made of a Si chip as an electronic component, and a terminal made of copper (Cu) on a wiring board as a counterpart member. Etc. are used. Then, an electrode made of aluminum (Al) or the like on the Si chip and the terminal are connected by a wire made of Al or the like.
[0003]
A conventional wedge bonding method is shown in the schematic cross-sectional view of FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), a wire J2 contacted and supported by a bonding tool J1 is brought into contact with a material to be joined (for example, an electrode on a Si chip) J3. Next, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), the wire J2 is bonded to the material to be bonded J3 through this tool J1 while being pressed and pressed at a constant pressure by ultrasonic vibration. The final bonded state is finally shown in FIG.
[0004]
Here, in order to rub the wire J2 and the material J3 to be joined, it is necessary that the tool J1 and the wire J2 are firmly bound to each other, and the pressing force is increased for restraining. With the applied pressure, as shown in FIG. 8B, the central portion J4 of the wire J2 is crushed, and the contact area between the wire J2 and the material to be joined J3 is increased. And if the tool J1 vibrates, the wire J2 restrained by the tool J1 will also vibrate, and it will join outside from the outer peripheral part of a contact area.
[0005]
A more detailed final bonding state is shown in FIG. In addition, the upper part of Fig.9 (a) is the same as FIG.8 (c), (b) is AA sectional drawing in (a) in FIG. As described in FIG. 8B, the center portion J4 of the wire J2 in the final contact area is crushed from the beginning due to the pressurization, so that the peripheral edge is crushed by the ultrasonic energy without being joined. Only the part J6 is joined. Therefore, as shown in each lower part of FIGS. 9A and 9B, the joint region J5 viewed at the contact region interface has a donut shape.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in a power device (Si chip), a Si chip generates heat when a large current is passed. However, when a material having a large coefficient of thermal expansion such as Al and Si is heated, thermal stress is generated. Therefore, in the joint between the wire (Al) and the power device (Si) in the cold environment, the thermal stress is repeatedly generated due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the two, and the joint is cracked and broken. There is.
[0007]
FIG. 10 shows the distribution of the magnitude of the thermal stress in the final bonded state shown in FIGS. 8 (c) and 9, wherein the peripheral portion (bonding peripheral portion) J6 of the wire J2 in the contact area is large. The center portion J4 is small. For this reason, it is important to join the center portion J4 in order to improve the reliability of thermal durability.
[0008]
Currently, there is a bonder (pressure / output control bonder) that can control ultrasonic output and pressure during bonding. The present inventor uses the pressurization / output control bonder to lower the initial pressurization, thereby reducing the initial wire crushing, and joining from the center part to the peripheral part in the contact area between the wire and the material to be joined. Tried.
[0009]
However, when the initial pressurization is lowered, the wire escapes from the tool due to the amplitude of the tool during bonding, so that it is difficult to stably restrain the wire by the tool, and an adhesion nucleus for starting the bonding cannot be performed. This is because the deformation of the wire is small by lowering the initial pressure, and the area where the wire and the tool come into contact (shown by the thick line J7 in FIG. 8) is small, so the friction force between the wire and the tool is insufficient. By becoming. Accordingly, the contact portion between the wire and the tool slips and the wire comes off from the wedge portion of the tool, or the contact portion between the wire and the tool slips and the amplitude (vibration) of the tool is not sufficiently transmitted to the wire.
[0010]
Therefore, even if a pressure / output control bonder is used, the initial output is lowered compared to a bonder without control (a constant pressure bonder), so that the donut-shaped joint region J5 as shown in FIG. In comparison, although it is joined from the inside, it is difficult to join up to the center and it is difficult to significantly improve the reliability. In particular, extremely thick wires such as φ400 μm and φ500 μm have poor durability reliability.
[0011]
Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method for connecting electronic components by wedge bonding, and by increasing the frictional force between the wire and the tool, even when the initial pressurization is lowered, the wire is The purpose is not to escape from the tool.
[0012]
To achieve the above object, V in the first aspect of the present invention, in the method for connecting electronic components by wedge bonding, providing a wire jig made of harder member than the (20) (30), as a tool (10) using those forms a groove shape or U-groove shape, the wires supported in contact with the tool to be constrained to the groove, by pressing the jig, contact between the wire and the tool After increasing the area, the wire is pressed against the electronic component (1) and vibrated while being pressed through the tool to connect the wire to the electronic component, and then the wire is connected to the other side. It is characterized in that the wire is connected to the mating member by being routed to the member (4) and vibrating while being pressed through the tool.
[0013]
According to this connection method, by increasing the contact area between the wire and the tool before bonding the electronic component and the wire in advance, the frictional force between the wire and the tool can be increased, and the initial pressurization can be reduced. However, the wire can be prevented from escaping from the tool when the bonding tool vibrates.
[0014]
In the wire bonding between the electronic component and the wire, the initial pressurization can be lowered to reduce the initial wire crushing, so that the bonding can be performed from the center portion to the peripheral portion in the contact area between the wire and the electronic component. Then, in the next step, the electronic component and the counterpart member are connected by wedge-bonding the wire connected to the electronic component to the counterpart member.
[0015]
Thus, according to the present invention, even when the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the electronic component (power device or the like) and the wire is large, both are joined from the center portion to the peripheral portion in the contact area. Can be made to have excellent durability and reliability.
[0016]
Further, as in the invention according to claim 2, as the jig (30) used in the connection method according to
[0017]
Further, as in the invention described in claim 3, the groove (31) is pressed against the bottom (32) at the side wall surface (33) without contacting the pressed wire (20). It can have a shape that supports the wire. Thereby, when the wire is pressed against the jig, the contact portion of the wire with the electronic component can be prevented from being crushed.
