Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress the deterioration of a signal by providing a regulating means for matching the inductance of a signal-transmitting bonding wire and the ground electrostatic capacitance of the end of the signal-transmitting bonding wire to a transmission impedance. CONSTITUTION:A pad 2 for transmitting very high frequency signals is provided on the package 7 side and a regulating bonding pad 8 is arranged in the manner of adjoining a pad 5 provided on the chip 3 side. A signal-transmitting bonding wire 4 by means of a metal wire is connected between the pads 2 and 5 and a regulating bonding wire 9 is connected between the pads 2 and 8. Therefore, an inductance L2 by a wire 9 and a circuit by a stray electrostatic capacitance 10(C2) formed between the pads 2 and 8 relative to an inductance L1 by a wire 4 and a circuit by a stray electrostatic capacitance 6(C1) are added to the pad 2. In this case, impedance is regulated by change of the length and diameter of the wire 9. Thus, it is possible to conduct impedance matching and to raise a maximum frequency.

By the way, the present inventor has studied the problems of deterioration of frequency characteristics and mismatching of input and output impedances in the ultra-high frequency range of semiconductor devices.

The following are the techniques studied by the present inventor, and the outline thereof is as follows.

For example, semiconductor devices used for communication interfaces are configured to convert 8-bit, 16-bit, etc. parallel signals into serial signals, but as mentioned above, bonding wires are used for the 7 real signal lines. In this case, the equivalent circuit is as shown in FIG. 7, unless an inductance is inserted in series in the line.

That is, the pad 2 of the lead L and the chip 3 are connected by a bonding wire, and this bonding wire 4 has an inductance L. Further, a stray capacitance 6 (C) is generated between the pad 5 of the package 7 and the earth line (or power line).

周波数の上限を高くするにはL及びCは小さいほど良い
結果が得られるが、これらを0にすることはできない。
In order to raise the upper limit of the frequency, the smaller L and C are, the better the result, but they cannot be set to zero.

This inductance L and the floating electrostatic window 16 (C) form a low pass filter, and the cutoff frequency and impedance are determined from this L and C. Normally, impedance is set to 50Ω, so impedance 2 is expressed as follows.

2=hat; 7 In signal transmission, since emphasis is placed on transmission loss due to mismatch and the influence of noise mixture, impedance 2 must be set to a specified value (in this case, 5DΩ). Therefore, the inductance 4 and the stray capacitance 6 are determined by considering only the determination of the impedance Z, and are not determined by considering the determination of the highest frequency. In other words, the cutoff frequency is uniquely determined from the resistance C that is taken out to determine the impedance Z.

However, in semiconductor devices that use L of the bonding wire and stray capacitance to form impedance for signal transmission as described above, when the impedance is set to the design value, the values of L and C become large, and the maximum usable frequency is The inventors have discovered that there is a problem in that the ratio becomes low.

Additionally, in the past, when the frequency was high, differences in L and C would occur due to slight deformation of the wire, differences in length, or variations between multiple layers, but there was no way to adjust this. It is difficult to make the impedance match the design value, and for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the impedance tends to be partially mismatched (in this case, the bonding wire 4 portion).
