Abstract

PURPOSE:To lower a cost and to enhance a corrosion-resistant property by a method wherein, in a lead frame which uses a palladium-plated film as an outer-package plated film, a tin-cobalt alloy-plated film is formed on the substratum of the palladium-plated film. CONSTITUTION:A tin-nickel alloy-plated film or a tin-cobalt alloy-plated film 12 is first formed on the whole surface of a lead frame 10; a palladium-plated film 14 as an outer-package plated film is formed on the tin-nickel plated film or the tin-cobalt alloy-plated film 12. As a blank for the lead frame 10, copper, a copper alloy, a 42 alloy (iron-nickel alloy) or the like is used. The thickness of the palladium-plated film 14 as the outer-package plated film is not limit specially; it is decided by taking into consideration the wire bonding property at inner leads and the solderability at outer leads; the thickness of 0.03 to 0.5mum, normally about 0.1mum, is sufficient. The thickness of the tin-nickel alloy-plated film or the tin-cobalt alloy-plated film 12 is set to 0.1 to 1.5mum.

(Prior Art) Palladium plating has good wire bonding properties and excellent soldering properties, so it is advantageous as an exterior plating for lead frames. In other words, in order to improve the wire bondability to the inner leads of the lead frame, the inner leads are partially plated with gold or silver, and in order to improve the soldering properties of the outer leads, the outer leads are plated after resin sealing. Alternatively, the solder film is formed by a wet process of dipping, but if a palladium plating film is formed on the entire surface in advance, there is no need for a wet process after resin sealing, which prevents moisture from entering. This has the advantage of providing a highly reliable semiconductor device.

Therefore, in order to improve this corrosion resistance, conventionally,
As shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-49382, a nickel plating film is interposed between the raw metal and the palladium plating film, or as shown in US Pat. No. 4,628,165, palladium-nickel or palladium-cobalt is used. However, the conventional method described above has the following problems.

In other words, when a nickel plating film is interposed, since the nickel plating film is not very dense and is more or less porous, an electrical path is formed between the material metal and the palladium plating film of the exterior plating, and therefore corrosion resistance is improved. Sexuality becomes insufficient. In this case, if the nickel plating film is formed thickly, for example, about 3 μm, the corrosion resistance will be relatively eliminated, but since the nickel plating film is very hard, bending the outer lead will cause a crank in the plating film, which will reduce the corrosion resistance. Sexuality is inhibited.

(Function) Since the tin-nickel alloy plating film or the tin-cobalt alloy plating film is denser than the nickel plating film, there is no electrical path between the raw metal and the palladium plating film of the exterior plating, and the palladium plating film Corrosion of the raw metal can be effectively prevented even if the thickness of the film is reduced. In addition, since the tin-nickel alloy plating film or the tin-cobalt alloy plating film is sufficiently effective in preventing corrosion without having to thicken it, it can be used without causing cranking in the plating film.
The outer lead can be bent.

The thickness shall be 3 μm or more. On the other hand, the hardness of the tin-nickel alloy plating film or the tin-cobalt alloy plating film 12 is as high as that of the nickel plating film. Therefore, the tin-nickel alloy plating film or the tin-cobalt alloy plating film 12
If the thickness of the tin-nickel alloy plating film or the tin-cobalt alloy plating film 12 is too thick, cracks may occur in the plating film when bending the outer leads of the lead frame 10. 1
.. The diameter shall be 5 μm. Even with such a plating thickness, a nickel plating film would have insufficient corrosion resistance unless the outer layer palladium plating film was approximately 0.5 μm or more thick, but a tin-nickel alloy plating film Alternatively, by using the tin-cobalt alloy plating film 12, corrosion of the raw metal can be sufficiently prevented even if the thickness of the palladium plating film is as thin as about 0.1 μm.
