Description

本発明は、半導体素子の両面に金属体を半田付けして構成された半導体装置及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a semiconductor device configured by soldering metal bodies on both sides of a semiconductor element and a method for manufacturing the same.

高耐圧・大電流用のパワーIC(IGBTやMOSFET等)の半導体チップ(半導体素子)は、使用時の発熱が大きいため、半導体チップからの放熱性を向上させるための構成が必要である。この構成の一例として、半導体チップの両面にヒートシンク(金属体)を半田付けする構成が考えられており、例えば特許文献1に記載されている。
特開2003−068959号公報
A semiconductor chip (semiconductor element) of a power IC (IGBT, MOSFET, etc.) for high withstand voltage and large current generates a large amount of heat during use, and thus requires a configuration for improving heat dissipation from the semiconductor chip. As an example of this configuration, a configuration in which a heat sink (metal body) is soldered to both surfaces of a semiconductor chip is considered, and is described in Patent Document 1, for example.
JP 2003-068959 A

上記従来構成の半導体チップ(例えばIGBT)の上面には、半田付け用の第1の電極(例えばエミッタ電極)が設けられていると共に、その周辺部にワイヤボンディング用の制御パッド(例えばゲートパッド)が設けられている。この構成の場合、半導体チップの第1の電極上に銅ブロック(ヒートシンク)を半田付けした後、制御パッドにボンディングワイヤをボンディングしている。   A first electrode (for example, an emitter electrode) for soldering is provided on the upper surface of the semiconductor chip (for example, IGBT) having the above-described conventional configuration, and a wire bonding control pad (for example, a gate pad) is provided on the periphery thereof Is provided. In this configuration, a copper block (heat sink) is soldered on the first electrode of the semiconductor chip, and then a bonding wire is bonded to the control pad.

しかし、上記構成の場合、半導体チップの第1の電極上に銅ブロックを半田付けするとき、即ち、半田のリフロー工程において半田を融解するときに、半田が突沸することがあり、溶融した半田の小さな粒が飛散して制御パッド上に付着することがあった。そして、半田が付着した制御パッド上にワイヤボンディングすると、ボンディング強度が低下し、剥離が起こるおそれがあった。   However, in the case of the above configuration, when soldering the copper block on the first electrode of the semiconductor chip, that is, when melting the solder in the solder reflow process, the solder may bump, Small particles may scatter and adhere to the control pad. When wire bonding is performed on the control pad to which the solder is attached, the bonding strength is reduced and peeling may occur.

これに対して、制御パッドを覆う治具を半導体チップに取り付け、溶融した半田の小さな粒が飛散しても、上記治具により制御パッド上に付着することを防止する構成が考えられる。しかし、この構成の場合、半導体チップには反りがあるため、治具で制御パッドを密着して覆うことが難しく、半田の付着を防止することが困難であった。また、治具により半導体チップの割れを招くおそれもあり、この治具を用いる方法は実際には採用することができなかった。   On the other hand, a configuration is conceivable in which a jig for covering the control pad is attached to the semiconductor chip, and even if small particles of molten solder are scattered, the jig prevents the solder from adhering to the control pad. However, in this configuration, since the semiconductor chip is warped, it is difficult to closely cover the control pad with a jig and it is difficult to prevent adhesion of solder. Moreover, there is a possibility that the semiconductor chip may be cracked by the jig, and the method using this jig cannot be actually used.

尚、リフロー工程後に、IPA(イソプロピルアルコール)を用いて洗浄することにより、リフロー時の異物を除去する方法がある。しかし、この方法では、制御パッドに付着した半田を除去することができない。   In addition, there is a method of removing foreign matters during reflow by washing with IPA (isopropyl alcohol) after the reflow step. However, this method cannot remove the solder attached to the control pad.

そこで、本発明の目的は、半田のリフロー工程時に半田の小さな粒が飛散して制御パッド上に付着することがあっても、制御パッド上にワイヤボンディングしたときに、ボンディング強度が低下することを極力防止できる半導体装置及びその製造方法を提供するにある。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to reduce bonding strength when wire bonding is performed on a control pad even if small particles of solder may scatter and adhere to the control pad during the solder reflow process. It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device that can be prevented as much as possible and a manufacturing method thereof.

上記構成においては、半導体素子2の両面からヒートシンク3、4及びヒートシンクブロック5を介して放熱される構成となっている。
また、図1及び図2に示すように、半導体素子2の一方の面である上面には、主電極である第1の電極(例えばエミッタ電極)7が設けられていると共に、上記上面における周辺部である図1中の下辺部には、制御電極である例えば5個の制御パッド8が設けられている。これら制御パッド8は、例えばゲートパッドや、電流センサ用の制御パッドや、温度センサ用の制御パッド等である。
In the above configuration, heat is radiated from both surfaces of the semiconductor element 2 through the heat sinks 3 and 4 and the heat sink block 5.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a first electrode (for example, an emitter electrode) 7 that is a main electrode is provided on the upper surface that is one surface of the semiconductor element 2, and the periphery of the upper surface is For example, five control pads 8 which are control electrodes are provided on the lower side in FIG. These control pads 8 are, for example, gate pads, control pads for current sensors, control pads for temperature sensors, and the like.

各制御パッド8は、後述するようにして、例えば4個に分割された分割パッド8aを有している。各分割パッド8aの面積は、ボンディングワイヤ9(図1参照)を1本ボンディングすることが可能な最小の面積である。従って、制御パッド8は、ボンディングワイヤ9を例えば4本(即ち、2本以上)ボンディングすることが可能な面積を有している。   Each control pad 8 has, for example, a divided pad 8a divided into four as will be described later. The area of each divided pad 8a is the minimum area where one bonding wire 9 (see FIG. 1) can be bonded. Therefore, the control pad 8 has an area where four bonding wires 9 (for example, two or more) can be bonded.

また、半導体素子2の他方の面である下面の全面には、主電極である第2の電極(例えばコレクタ電極)10が設けられている。
そして、図1に示すように、第2の電極10には、下側ヒートシンク3が半田6を介して電気的に接続されていると共に、第1の電極7には、ヒートシンクブロック5が半田6を介して電気的に接続されている。また、制御パッド8は、リードフレーム11にボンディングワイヤ9を介してワイヤーボンディングされている。
A second electrode (for example, a collector electrode) 10 that is a main electrode is provided on the entire lower surface that is the other surface of the semiconductor element 2.
As shown in FIG. 1, the lower heat sink 3 is electrically connected to the second electrode 10 via the solder 6, and the heat sink block 5 is connected to the first electrode 7 with the solder 6. It is electrically connected via. The control pad 8 is wire bonded to the lead frame 11 via a bonding wire 9.

この構成の場合、制御パッド8の4個の分割パッド8aすべてに対してワイヤーボンディングしても良いし、4個の分割パッド8aのうちの適当な3個または2個または1個の分割パッド8aに対してワイヤーボンディングするように構成しても良い。また、第1の電極7から遠い側の2個の分割パッド8a(またはそのうちの1個の分割パッド8a)だけに対してワイヤーボンディングするように構成しても良い。   In the case of this configuration, wire bonding may be performed to all four divided pads 8a of the control pad 8, or appropriate three, two, or one divided pad 8a of the four divided pads 8a. Alternatively, wire bonding may be used. Alternatively, only two divided pads 8a (or one divided pad 8a of them) on the side far from the first electrode 7 may be wire-bonded.

また、下側ヒートシンク3及び上側ヒートシンク4は、厚さ寸法が例えば約2mm程度の板材で形成されている。ヒートシンクブロック5は、厚さ寸法が例えば約1.5mm程度の板材で形成されており、その大きさは、半導体素子2の大きさよりも1回り小さい程度の大きさ(即ち、第1の電極7とほぼ同じ大きさ)である。また、半導体素子2の厚さ寸法は、例えば約0.14mm程度であり、半田6の厚さ寸法は、例えば約0.1mm程度である。   The lower heat sink 3 and the upper heat sink 4 are formed of a plate material having a thickness dimension of, for example, about 2 mm. The heat sink block 5 is formed of a plate material having a thickness dimension of, for example, about 1.5 mm, and the size of the heat sink block 5 is slightly smaller than the size of the semiconductor element 2 (that is, the first electrode 7). About the same size). Moreover, the thickness dimension of the semiconductor element 2 is about 0.14 mm, for example, and the thickness dimension of the solder 6 is about 0.1 mm, for example.

尚、半導体装置1のほぼ全体は、図示しない樹脂(例えばエポキシ樹脂)によりモールドされている。この場合、半導体装置1を樹脂でモールドするに当たっては、上下型からなる成形型(図示しない)を使用している。尚、ヒートシンク3、4の端子部(図示しない)及びリードフレーム11の端子部(図示しない)は、モールド成形体(図示しない)から突出するように構成されている。更に、下側ヒートシンク3の下面と上側ヒートシンク4の上面は、モールド成形体から露出するように構成されている。また、上記した構成の半導体装置1の製造方法(即ち、製造工程)の具体例は、本出願人がすでに出願した特願2001−127516に記載されており、これに記載されている方法を適宜使用すれば良い。   Note that almost the entire semiconductor device 1 is molded with a resin (not shown) (for example, epoxy resin). In this case, when the semiconductor device 1 is molded with resin, a molding die (not shown) composed of upper and lower molds is used. In addition, the terminal part (not shown) of the heat sinks 3 and 4 and the terminal part (not shown) of the lead frame 11 are configured to protrude from a molded body (not shown). Furthermore, the lower surface of the lower heat sink 3 and the upper surface of the upper heat sink 4 are configured to be exposed from the molded body. A specific example of the manufacturing method (ie, manufacturing process) of the semiconductor device 1 having the above-described configuration is described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-127516 already filed by the present applicant, and the method described therein is appropriately selected. Use it.

次に、第1の電極7、第2の電極10及び制御パッド8の具体的構成について説明する。第2の電極10は、図2に示すように、半導体基板12の下面に金属層13を形成して構成されている。金属層13は、例えばNiとAuを積層して構成されている。第1の電極7と制御パッド8は、半導体基板12の上面に形成されたAl配線14と、このAl配線14の上に形成された金属層15とから構成されている。金属層15は、例えばNiとAuを積層して構成されている。尚、上記Al配線14の代わりに、例えばAlSi配線を形成するように構成しても良い。   Next, specific configurations of the first electrode 7, the second electrode 10, and the control pad 8 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the second electrode 10 is configured by forming a metal layer 13 on the lower surface of the semiconductor substrate 12. The metal layer 13 is configured by stacking, for example, Ni and Au. The first electrode 7 and the control pad 8 are composed of an Al wiring 14 formed on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate 12 and a metal layer 15 formed on the Al wiring 14. The metal layer 15 is configured by stacking, for example, Ni and Au. In place of the Al wiring 14, for example, an AlSi wiring may be formed.

また、半導体基板12上における外周部並びに第1の電極7と制御パッド8との間には、保護膜16が設けられている。この保護膜16は、例えばポリイミドで形成されている。尚、上記ポリイミド(保護膜16)は、半田レジスト材料である。   A protective film 16 is provided between the outer peripheral portion of the semiconductor substrate 12 and between the first electrode 7 and the control pad 8. The protective film 16 is made of polyimide, for example. The polyimide (protective film 16) is a solder resist material.

そして、図1及び図2に示すように、制御パッド8の金属層15は、保護膜16により4個の領域に分割されており、これら4個の領域が前記分割パッド8aを構成している。この構成の場合、金属層15は半田レジスト材料により分割されている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the metal layer 15 of the control pad 8 is divided into four regions by the protective film 16, and these four regions constitute the divided pad 8a. . In the case of this configuration, the metal layer 15 is divided by a solder resist material.

ここで、制御パッド8及び第1の電極7を形成する製造工程について、図4を参照して説明する。まず、図4(a)に示すように、半導体基板12上に所定のパターンのAl配線14を形成する。この場合、図4(a)中の右側のAl配線14が制御パッド8に対応し、左側のAl配線14が第1の電極7に対応している。   Here, a manufacturing process for forming the control pad 8 and the first electrode 7 will be described with reference to FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 4A, an Al wiring 14 having a predetermined pattern is formed on a semiconductor substrate 12. In this case, the right Al wiring 14 in FIG. 4A corresponds to the control pad 8, and the left Al wiring 14 corresponds to the first electrode 7.

この後、図4(b)に示すように、半導体基板12上に保護膜16を形成する。この場合、ポリイミドの膜を全面に形成した後、マスク等を用いて設定されたパターンの保護膜16だけを残すようにし、残りを除去する。ここで、保護膜16のうちの制御パッド8用のAl配線14の上に形成された部分が、制御パッド8を分割するための保護膜16、即ち、半田レジスト材料である。   Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4B, a protective film 16 is formed on the semiconductor substrate 12. In this case, after a polyimide film is formed on the entire surface, only the protective film 16 having a pattern set using a mask or the like is left, and the rest is removed. Here, a portion of the protective film 16 formed on the Al wiring 14 for the control pad 8 is the protective film 16 for dividing the control pad 8, that is, a solder resist material.

続いて、図4(c)に示すように、Al配線14の上に金属層15を形成する。この金属層15は、例えばNi層とAu層を積層して構成されている。これにより、第1の電極7及び制御パッド8が形成される。そして、制御パッド8においては、図1に示すように、その金属層15が保護膜16により4個に分割されている。   Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4C, a metal layer 15 is formed on the Al wiring 14. The metal layer 15 is formed by stacking, for example, a Ni layer and an Au layer. Thereby, the first electrode 7 and the control pad 8 are formed. In the control pad 8, as shown in FIG. 1, the metal layer 15 is divided into four by a protective film 16.

このような構成の本実施例によれば、制御パッド8の面積を、ボンディングワイヤを4本ボンディングすることが可能な面積としたので、半導体素子2の第1の電極7にヒートシンクブロック5を半田付けするときに、即ち、半田のリフロー工程時に、半田の小さな粒が飛散して制御パッド8上に付着することがあっても、制御パッド8上に半田が付着していない部分をほぼ確実に確保することができ、制御パッド8上にワイヤボンディングしたときに、ボンディング強度が低下することを極力防止できる。   According to this embodiment having such a configuration, the area of the control pad 8 is set to an area where four bonding wires can be bonded, so that the heat sink block 5 is soldered to the first electrode 7 of the semiconductor element 2. When soldering, that is, during the solder reflow process, even if small particles of solder may scatter and adhere to the control pad 8, the portion where the solder is not attached to the control pad 8 is almost certainly ensured. It can be ensured, and it is possible to prevent the bonding strength from being lowered as much as possible when wire bonding is performed on the control pad 8.

特に、上記実施例では、制御パッド8を複数に、例えば4個に分割したので、半田のリフロー工程時に、半田の小さな粒が飛散して制御パッド8の4個の分割パッド8a中の1個または2個の分割パッド8a上に付着することがあっても、半田は、付着した分割パッド8a上で広がるだけであり、他の分割パッド8a上にまで広がらない。これにより、制御パッド8上に半田が付着していない部分をほぼ確実に確保することができる。   In particular, in the above embodiment, since the control pad 8 is divided into a plurality of, for example, four, one of the four divided pads 8a of the control pad 8 is scattered during the solder reflow process. Alternatively, even if the solder adheres on the two divided pads 8a, the solder spreads only on the adhered divided pads 8a and does not spread on the other divided pads 8a. As a result, it is possible to almost certainly ensure a portion on the control pad 8 where no solder is attached.

更に、上記実施例においては、制御パッド8を分割するに際して、Al配線14上に設けられた金属層15を、保護膜16(半田レジスト材料)により分割するように構成したので、半田のリフロー工程時に、半田の小さな粒が飛散して制御パッド8の4個の分割パッド8a中の1個または2個の分割パッド8a上に付着することがあっても、保護膜16により、半田は、付着した分割パッド8a上で広がるだけとなり、他の分割パッド8a上にまで広がることを防止できる。   Further, in the above embodiment, when the control pad 8 is divided, the metal layer 15 provided on the Al wiring 14 is divided by the protective film 16 (solder resist material), so that the solder reflow process is performed. Even if a small particle of solder may scatter and adhere to one or two of the four divided pads 8a of the control pad 8, the solder adheres due to the protective film 16. It spreads only on the divided pad 8a and can be prevented from spreading to other divided pads 8a.

The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals. In the third embodiment, when the control pad 8 is divided, instead of dividing the metal layer 15 provided on the Al wiring 14 by the protective film 16, as shown in FIG. 15 is divided by a protective film (solder resist material) 16 for dividing the control pad 8.

そして、上述した以外の第3の実施例の構成は、第1の実施例と同じ構成となっている。従って、第3の実施例においても、第1の実施例とほぼ同じ作用効果を得ることができる。   The configuration of the third embodiment other than that described above is the same as that of the first embodiment.
