Abstract
【解決手段】高純度銅細線の断面組織における上位10個の結晶粒面積が全断面組織の5〜25%で、その結晶粒面積の80%以上が直径の1/20以下で定義される表皮層の内側にある、純度99.997質量%〜純度99.99994質量%の酸化膜を有する銅からなる半導体装置を接続するための連続伸線された高純度銅細線である。
【選択図】図4
Description
純度99.9995質量%〜純度99.99994質量%の銅および微量(0.0006質量%以下)の銀を含む銅合金(以下、微量の銀を含む銅合金と略記する)からなる高純度銅細線もこれらの用途に使用され、その場合には、伸線ひずみを取り除く目的で500℃以下の最終熱処理をすることが一般的であった(後述の特許文献1および特許文献2参照)。これは、連続伸線された高純度銅細線の断面組織が緻密であることを利用するためであり、500℃以下の温度であれば、高純度銅細線がほとんど熱影響を受けないからである(図1参照)。
他方、連続伸線された高純度銅細線を還元性雰囲気下で500℃以上の温度にすると、一般的に伸線加工組織が回復組織から再結晶組織になり、やがて粒成長が起こるとされている。
ところが、純度99.9995質量%〜純度99.99994質量%の銅および微量の銀を含む銅合金からなる高純度銅細線の場合は、このような内部組織の変化が非常に早く、結晶粒の一部が粗大化し(図2参照)、それがワイヤ全体に広がって焼きなましの状態になる(図3参照)。図2では、中央部の結晶粒の大きさはワイヤ直径の約40%程度となり、その内部にはサブグレインがみられる。図3では、大きな結晶粒の大きさは、ワイヤ直径の50%を超える。
この現象は、荷重の調整が困難な0.06mm〜0.1mmの細いワイヤほどコントロールが困難であった。
他方、伸線加工直後に800℃程度で数百ミリ秒以下の熱処理した組織(図3参照)をもつ高純度銅線(0.01mm〜0.08mmのボールボンディング用高純度銅極細線や0.06mm〜1.0mmのステッチボンディング用高純度銅細線やサブミリ径の高純度銅細線)に還元性ガスを噴きつけながら超音波ボンディングすると、これらの銅線は溶融ボールをつくらないので、ファーストボンドでシリコンチップにクラックが入ることはないが、やわらかすぎるためファーストボンドの接合強度が十分でなく、熱サイクル試験を繰り返すと接合強度が低下するという現象が生じていた。
この現象は結晶粒径が大きくほぼ均一の音響機器用銅線(後述の特許文献3)でも同様であった。
被加工材を加熱すると、緻密な伸線加工組織が回復組織から再結晶組織を経由して粒成長が起こる一連の結晶粒組織の熱変化に対応して銅マトリックス中の酸素が結晶粒界をつたって表層の銅酸化物(CuO/Cu2O)層から外部へ移動し、表層の銅酸化物(CuO/Cu2O)層が薄くなる。銀以外の不純物元素の量は30質量ppm未満である。高純度銅中の不純物としては、鉄(Fe)、ニッケル、スズ(Sn)、シリコン、リン(P)およびイオウ(S)が主なものである。これらの不純物元素の量は30質量ppm以上になると、不純物元素のピン止め効果によって、結晶組織が異なり、高純度銅細線の結晶組織を加熱・冷却によって制御することができなくなるからである。
しかし、99.99994質量%を超えると、純度が高すぎることによって室温で再結晶が始まってしまい、接合時のつぶれ幅のばらつきが大きくなってしまう。しかも、線径が0.01mm〜0.08mmであるボールボンディング用極細線の場合には、ワイヤ自体の剛性がなくなってしまう。
よって、高純度銅細線の純度は、99.999質量%〜99.99994質量%の銅の範囲が必要となる。
また、高純度銅細線は熱伝導度が良いので、高純度銅細線の結晶組織を適切に管理するにはサブミリ径が好適である。0.1mm未満の径になると、線自体が弱くなるため、接合後はワイヤ全体を樹脂モールドしたり、接続距離を短くしたりするなどの工夫が必要となる。
なお、500℃程度の温度で数百ミリ秒以下の熱処理温度では、還元雰囲気であっても高純度銅細線の表面にある数nmの酸化銅層はあまり減少しない。
また、不純物元素の量が多すぎると、これらの不純物元素は銅マトリックス中の酸素と結びつきやすく酸化物を形成してしまうので、高純度銅細線の表面にある数nmの酸化銅層は減少しにくくなり、接合時にチップ割れを起こしやすくなる。
すなわち、高温の高純度銅細線の最外層の酸化第二銅(CuO)が不活性雰囲気下で原子層状に順番にはがされ不活性雰囲気中に飛ばされる。そうすると、高純度銅細線の最外層のすぐ下の酸化第一銅(Cu2O)の層が銅と酸化第二銅(CuO)層となる。この還元銅は、最初は結晶粒界を経由した銅マトリックス中の酸素をもらって再び酸化第一銅(Cu2O)の層となる。しかし、銅マトリックス中の酸素は少量なので、結晶粒界から送り出される酸素はすぐになくなり、元の酸化第一銅(Cu2O)層の位置にあった還元銅は、銅マトリックスに吸収される。この結果、最外層の酸化第二銅層(CuO)の厚さは緩やかに薄くなっていくが、すぐ下の酸化第一銅(Cu2O)の層はすぐに薄くなる。
還元雰囲気下で800℃程度の高温熱処理をすると、6nm以上あった高純度銅細線の酸化銅層(第二銅層(CuO)の層と酸化第一銅(Cu2O)の層との和)が1nm程度まで減少する。
なお、熱処理温度は高くなりすぎると、ある温度以上で急激に伸びが増し、高純度銅細線が断線してしまうので、おのずと上限が定まる。加熱方法としては、電気炉による加熱、通電加熱、光照射による加熱、水蒸気加熱などがある。
また、高純度銅細線中の再結晶組織は、非酸化雰囲気中で形成されているので、銅マトリックス中の結晶粒界には外部から余分の酸素が入ってこないので、ファーストボンド前の高純度銅細線の表面が銅マトリックス内部から酸化することはない。また、半導体装置として使用中に銅マトリックス内部から酸素が追加されることもない。
{実施例1}
純度99.99992質量%で直径2mmの銅からなる銅素線の酸化膜は、表面側から0.5nmの二酸化銅と3nmの一酸化銅であった。この銅素線を連続伸線して直径0.2mmの銅細線(図1参照)を作成した。図1の断面写真から明らかなとおり、500℃の低温熱処理後であっても、銅マトリックス中には依然微細な伸線加工組織がみられる。
超音波ボンディングの条件は、以下のとおりである。
高純度銅細線の線径は0.48mm、ループ長は10mmで、ループ高さは3mmとした。この高純度銅細線をH&K社製の太線用ワイヤーボンダーBJ935型全自動ボンダを用いて、高純度銅細線をチップを模した基板(50mm角×0.6mm厚のアルミナ基板に10μmの銅をマグネトロンスパッタしたもの)上に窒素ガスを噴きつけながら超音波ボンディングを実施した。ボンディング条件は、120kHzの周波数で、荷重および超音条件については、任意に調整をおこない、全サンプル100個(n=40)について同条件で、ファーストボンドおよびセカンドボンドの超音波ボンディングを実施した。超硬ツールおよびボンディングガイドは、ワイヤサイズに合致したH&K社製の付属のものを使用した。そして、ファーストボンドつぶれ幅(線径×1.3倍狙い)のばらつき度合いを初期接合性として評価し、下記表1の結果を得た。
ここで、シェア試験における信頼性(比強度)とは、信頼性試験後のシェア強度をボンディング直後(初期)のシェア強度で除した数値である。即ち、比強度が大きいほど高信頼性であると判断できる。
これらの結果から明らかなように、図4に示す二重構造の高純度銅細線は、伸線上がりの銅細線と同様の潰れ幅を有し、高純度銅細線自体に剛性があり、せん断強度も安定していることがわかる。また、シェア試験後の剥離面においても、接合界面での酸化物の凝集による酸化物剥がれは観察されなかった。
銀20質量ppm、鉄2質量ppmおよび残部純度99.9997質量%で直径5mmの5Nの銅からなる銅素線の酸化膜は、実施例1と同様に、表面側から0.5nmの二酸化銅と4nmの一酸化銅であった。この銅素線を連続伸線して直径0.5mmの銅細線を作成した。この銅細線の断面組織は、図4とほぼ同様であった。
この高純度銅細線を実施例1と同様に超音波ボンディングし、実施例1と同様の評価をおこなった。その結果を下記表1に示す。
銀5質量ppm、鉄5質量ppm、ニッケル2質量ppm、シリコン5質量ppm、リン10質量ppmおよび残部純度99.9997質量%の銅で直径5mmの銅素線の酸化膜は、表面側から0.5nmの二酸化銅と5nmの一酸化銅であった。この銅素線を連続伸線して直径0.5mmの銅細線を作成した。この銅細線の断面組織は、図4とほぼ同様であった。
この高純度銅細線を実施例1と同様に超音波ボンディングし、実施例1と同様の評価をおこなった。その結果を下記表1に示す。
{比較例1}
実施例1と同様の銅細線を暗赤熱状態(500℃超)から急冷した以外は、実施例1と同様にした。水冷後にスプールに巻き取られた高純度銅細線の酸化膜は、熱処理前と変化はなく、表面側から0.5nmの二酸化銅と4nmの一酸化銅であった。この高純度銅細線の伸びは6%で、破断強度は約31.4kPa(32kgf/mm2)であった。この銅細線の断面)組織は、熱処理前と変化はなく、図1のような再結晶組織がみられなかった。この高純度銅細線の大きな結晶粒の平均粒径は、線径の0.2%である。
銀25質量ppm、鉄10質量ppm、ニッケル6質量ppm、シリコン8質量ppm、リン15質量ppmおよび残部純度99.9997質量%の銅で直径5mmの銅細線を桜赤熱状態(850℃超)から急冷した以外は、実施例2と同様にした。水冷後にスプールに巻き取られた高純度銅細線の酸化膜は、二酸化銅と一酸化銅の合計の膜厚が表面側から2nmの厚さであった。この高純度銅細線の伸びは15%であり、破断強度は約17.7kPa(18kgf/mm2)であった。この銅細線の断面組織を図3に示す。図3の断面写真から明らかなとおり、銅マトリックスはすべての結晶粒が粒成長していた。この高純度銅細線の結晶粒の平均粒径は、線径の25%である。
この高純度銅細線の評価結果を下表に示す。これらの結果から明らかなように、比較例1の高純度銅細線は、潰れ幅のばらつきが大きく不安定であった。また、シェア試験における信頼性も低く、高温接合強度は不安定であった。
なお、実施例および比較例では線径が0.48mmのワイヤを用いたが、これをさらに伸線していくと二重構造の判読は困難になるが、線径が0.06mm(60μm)のワイヤをステッチ接合しても、線径が0.025mm(25μm)のワイヤをボールボンディング接合(FAB接合)しても試験結果は同様の傾向であった。
