This invention is suitable for use in wire bonding performed during the manufacture of semiconductor devices.
This relates to Pd alloy thin wire. In general, semiconductor devices include transistors and
IC and even LSI are well known, but for example, IC
Semiconductor devices such as (a) Cu alloy plate or condition have Au on one side,
Prepare a lead material made of a plating layer of Ag, Ni, or their alloys, and (b) perform a press punching process on the lead material to form a lead frame that matches the shape of the semiconductor device to be manufactured. (c) A semiconductor element made of high-purity Si or Ge is thermocompression bonded to a predetermined location of the lead frame through the plating layer, and (d) Au or Au alloy fine wire is attached to the lead frame and the semiconductor element. (e) Pack the semiconductor element, the Au or Au alloy fine wire, and the lead frame where the semiconductor element is attached with plastic. , (f) Finally, the interconnected portions of the lead frame are cut out to form a lead material. The lead frame is manufactured by the main steps (a) to (f) above. As mentioned above, when manufacturing semiconductor devices, gold or gold is used for wire bonding.
Au alloy thin wire is used, but Au and Au alloy thin wire are one of the causes of high cost of semiconductor devices because Au and Au alloy themselves are expensive. Because the mechanical strength, especially the breaking strength, is insufficient, there are problems such as wire breakage or slack in the connection when using high-speed wire bonding equipment, which may cause short circuits. It was hot. Therefore, in order to solve such problems,
Pd thin wire, which is relatively inexpensive and has high temperature strength,
Attempts have been made to replace Au and Au alloy thin wires. However, in wire bonding, these thin Pd wires bond a ball formed at the tip of the wire by electric arc method to the aluminum pad of the semiconductor element and the plating layer of the lead frame by thermocompression bonding or ultrasonic thermocompression bonding. Since the ball has a high hardness of 60 or more on the Vickers hardness scale, the aluminum pad on the semiconductor element experiences an aluminum repulsion phenomenon (a phenomenon in which the aluminum layer protrudes outward when being crimped and the bonding does not go well). This causes problems such as sometimes even destroying the underlying semiconductor element.Furthermore, it becomes difficult to deform the ball itself, resulting in insufficient pressure bonding, and the high temperature strength of the wire itself is too high. This caused problems such as the loop height formed was low and caused shoots. As a result of research to solve the above-mentioned problems with conventional Pd thin wires for wire bonding of semiconductor devices, the present inventors found that Pd
If the purity of the fine wire is 99.995% by weight or more and the content of Pt and Fe, which are unavoidable impurities, is each less than 15 ppm, this result can be improved.
In Pd thin wire, the ball formed at the wire tip has a low hardness of less than 60 on the Vickers hardness scale, and the high temperature strength is also lower than that of the conventional Pd thin wire mentioned above. They found that it has a higher value when compared to the This invention was made based on the above knowledge, and therefore, even if the purity of the Pd thin wire is less than 99.995% by weight, and even if the content of Pt and Fe as inevitable impurities is 15 ppm or more, During wire bonding, not only is it impossible to reduce the hardness of the ball formed at the tip of the wire to a low hardness of less than 60 on the Vickers scale, but the high temperature strength of the wire itself becomes too high, making it difficult to obtain the desired high loop. For this reason, the purity is set at 99.995% by weight or more, and the content of Pt and Fe as unavoidable impurities is set at less than 15 ppm each. Next, the Pd thin wire of the present invention will be specifically explained using examples. Example As a starting material, it was prepared by a normal wet refining method and a vacuum melting method, and had a purity of 99.983% by weight, and the contents of Pt and Fe as inevitable impurities were Pt: 26 ppm and Fe: 32 ppm, respectively. Furthermore, using a Pd billet with the dimensions of diameter: 25 mm × length: 150 mm, this Pd billet is repeatedly subjected to zone refining (zone refining) the required number of times to obtain the purity and purity shown in Table 1.
A purified Pd billet containing Pt and Fe was prepared, and then this billet was subjected to face cutting to a diameter of 20 mmφ x length of 140 mm, using a grooved roll,
Cold rolling at a cross-sectional processing rate of 35% and intermediate annealing at a temperature of 500°C for 30 minutes in vacuum.
A wire rod with a diameter of 6 mmφ was obtained by repeatedly performing cold working as a cycle, and then this wire rod was subjected to peeling using a die to a diameter of 5 mmφ. %
Wire drawing process under the conditions of , in vacuum, temperature: 500℃
By repeatedly performing cold working with one cycle of intermediate annealing and holding for 20 minutes, the
Pd thin wires 1 to 7 of the present invention having a diameter of φ were manufactured. In addition, for comparison purposes, unrefined Pd thin wires were refined under the same conditions except that zone refining was omitted. Next, the Pd thin wires 1 to 7 of the present invention and the unmanufactured Pd thin wires obtained from these results were heated at a temperature of 250.
In addition to measuring high-temperature breaking strength and elongation at

Wire bonding was performed using Pd thin wire, and the number of specimens in which the aluminum pad part was rejected and the semiconductor element (Si) was damaged was measured for 1000 specimens, and the average loop height and bonding strength (pull test ) was measured. These measurement results are also shown in Table 1. For the purpose of comparison, Table 1 also shows the test results of a thin Au wire having a diameter of 25 mmφ under the same conditions. As is clear from the results shown in Table 1, the hardness of the ball formed at the tip of the Pd thin wires 1 to 7 of the present invention is lower than 60, which is almost the same as that of the Au thin wire. Due to its hardness, during wire bonding, there is no rejection phenomenon in the aluminum pad part or damage phenomenon in the semiconductor element, and it also shows strong bonding strength and the loop height is as high as that of Au. It was hot. On the other hand, unrefined Pd thin wires whose purity and content of Pt and Fe as unavoidable impurities are outside the scope of the present invention all have ball hardnesses of 60 or more on the Vickers hardness scale. Therefore, when wire bonding is performed, aluminum pads are often rejected and semiconductor elements are damaged, and the high temperature strength is too high, resulting in low loop heights. As mentioned above, the Pd thin wire of the present invention has moderate high-temperature strength, so the loop height after wire bonding is high, and the hardness of the ball formed at the wire tip during wire bonding is also very high. Due to its low hardness of less than 60, it does not cause aluminum repulsion to the aluminum pad of the semiconductor element or damage to the semiconductor element itself.
Furthermore, it has industrially useful properties such as wire bonding that can be performed with high bonding strength.
