Abstract

A semiconductor device (10) including a metallurgically compatible unplated package. The package includes a plateless copper alloy die mount area (14) to which a semiconductor die (12) is attached. The semiconductor die (12) is metallized on its mounting surface (40) to provide electrical contact. A metallic solder (38) which is compatible with both the copper alloy and the die metallization joins the die (12) to the die mount area (14). The package further includes a plateless copper alloy lead portion (16) which is physically joined (42) to the die mount area (14). The top surface of the semiconductor die (12) is provided with a patterned metallization (24, 26) making electrical contact to select the portions of the die. Electrical contact is made between the top surface die metallization (24, 26) and the lead portion (16) of the package by ultrasonically bonded copper ribbon (28). The die (12) and interconnecting ribbon (28) is then enclosed by an epoxy encapsulant (18) or by a welded metal cover (58).

The die mounting portion of the package provides mechanical support and electrical contact, and serves as a heat sink.
functions as a sink). The die is usually soft wax,
It is bonded to the die mounting part using hard solder or conductive epoxy. Each of these packaging materials has unique advantages and disadvantages. For example, soft solder which is a lead-based alloy or a tin-based alloy is inexpensive, but it is more susceptible to thermal fatigue and has higher electrical resistance and thermal resistance than hard solder. Hard solders are gold-based alloys that provide reliable bonds with excellent thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties, but gold-based solders are very expensive. Conductive epoxies, like soft solders, are relatively inexpensive, but their bonding properties are less desirable than hard solders, and they often contain precious metal fillers.

The back side of the semiconductor die is metallized to provide a bondable surface. If solder is used for bonding, the back metallization must be compatible with the selected solder. Similarly, the solder must be compatible with the metal of the die mounting portion. That is, the backside metal, solder, and die-mount metal must all be metallurgically compatible. Metallurgically compatible means that the solder can wet and form a strong bond with the metal surfaces it contacts;
This means that no undesirable intermetallic compounds are formed at the bond. In contrast, gold and tin can form intermetallic compounds that are susceptible to fracture and therefore appear to create less reliable bonds.

As a result of the need for compatibility,
Typically, metal clad or plated die mounting areas will be used. The material underlying the die mounting area is selected for its thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties. Metal cladding or plating provides the required metallurgical compatibility. Depending on the solder system chosen, the die mounting area is covered therewith by a thin layer of material, usually nickel or gold. As a result,
The cost of the plating or metallization operation along with the cost of the material itself will add to the total cost of the device.

The front surface of the semiconductor die is metallized by a patterned metal layer that allows electrical contact to the base and emitter electrodes of the transistor, for example in the case of a bipolar transistor. The patterned metal traces are connected to the semiconductor package leads by thin wires (typically 25-500 microns in diameter) that connect the surface metal traces and the package leads. is connected between These wires are typically aluminum or gold, the top surface metallization is aluminum or many other multilayer metal systems, and the package conductors are plated with nickel or gold. Conductor plating or metallization is necessary for metallurgical compatibility between the aluminum or gold wire and the rigid material of the package conductor. Although solder wettability is not required here,
Metallurgical compatibility is necessary to prevent unwanted intermetallic compounds from forming at the joint.
Again, plating or metallizing the package conductors is expensive, which would add to the cost if gold wire were used.

The conductor is bonded between the upper surface metal trace and the bonding site located at the distal end of the conductor portion 16, preferably by ultrasonic bonding techniques. One conductor 32 of the conductor portion 16 is attached to a post portion 3 of the die mounting portion 14.

According to the invention, the die mounting portion 14 is made of copper or a copper alloy and is left unplated. Copper or selected copper alloys are selected for the package portion because of their desirable thermal, electrical and mechanical properties. Plating or metallization of the die mounting portion 14, which increases the cost of the device, is unnecessary. The term "unplated copper alloys" is meant to include surface alloys and intermetallic compounds formed by heating to form thin surface alloys, especially after heating is normal. This means a case consisting only of a combination stage. In other words, "unplated" does not mean "uncoated," and unplated does not mean coated with methyl methacrylate or other acrylic acids. Protective coatings are not excluded.

After selecting copper or a copper alloy as the material for the die mounting portion, a solder 38 is selected to bond directly to that material. In addition to having the various shortcomings mentioned above, conventional hard and soft solders do not bond directly to copper in a repeatable and reliable manner. Therefore,
The tin-silver-antimony solder disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,170,472 is the preferred solder for this application. Especially in weight percentage (%) about tin 61
Preferred is a solder containing -69% antimony, 8-11% antimony, and 23-28% silver. This solder has properties that are approximately intermediate between those of hard solder and those of soft solder.
It combines many of the desirable features of various prior art solders. This tin-silver-antimony solder bonds directly to the unplated die mounting areas.

A metallization layer 40 is applied to the back side of the semiconductor die to provide good electrical contact to the die and provide a brazable surface. This metallization layer must adhere to the die to provide an ohmic electrical connection and must be metallurgically compatible with the solder selected for die bonding. A preferred metallization layer consists of successive layers of titanium, nickel and silver. The titanium is in contact with the exposed backside of the silicon wafer. Upon heating, titanium silicide is formed, which provides a strong metallurgical bond as well as good electrical contact with the wafer. Silver forms a strong bond with solder.
The intermediate nickel layer acts as a barrier to prevent silver migration to the silicon wafer. Although alternative metallization layers can be used, Ti-
Ni-Ag type is preferred. For example, an alternative metallization layer consists of a continuous layer of chromium and silver, but chromium silicide exhibits a weaker mechanical bond to silicon and is metallurgically inferior to the bond formed by titanium.

The package conductor portion 16 is also formed of non-glare copper or copper alloy. Copper alloys are preferred because they provide a desirable amount of stiffness. This stiffness is necessary, for example, to facilitate the insertion of conductive wires into sockets or holes in printed circuit boards, and to maintain the position of the device once it is wired into the circuit.

Wire portion 16 and die mount portion 14 are physically coupled at site 42 . This bonding is accomplished prior to die mounting operations. Since the die mounting section and the conductor mounting section are initially separate in this embodiment, these two sections are made of different copper alloys with different metallurgical properties to meet specific needs. It can be formed from homogeneous alloys. For example, the lead portion may be made of an alloy that has a higher yield point or stiffness compared to the die mounting portion, which may be made of a softer alloy to facilitate die bonding. In another embodiment (not shown), the die mounting portion and the lead portion are formed as a single unitary structure. In such embodiments, these two parts must of course be made of the same material.

On the top surface of the die is a patterned metal layer designated by reference numerals 24 and 26. This metal layer makes electrical contact to device regions such as the base and emitter of the transistor. Conductive lines 28 interconnect the patterned metal traces and the package conductive lines. The aluminum wire used in conventional packages is relatively unreliable in bonding to unplated copper alloy packages. Gold wire can also be used, but there are severe and restrictive process constraints. Furthermore, gold conductors are extremely expensive. According to the invention, the conducting wire 28 is made of copper or a copper alloy;
Used to bond directly to copper alloy packages. Patterned metal layers 24, 26 must be compatible with conductive wire 28. Therefore, layer 24,2
Preferably, 6 comprises a continuous layer of titanium, nickel and copper. The titanium is in direct contact with the semiconductor die, making good electrical and mechanical contact.
The copper layer allows for strong bonding with copper conductors. The nickel layer provides a barrier to copper migration, preventing copper from migrating into the semiconductor die where it can adversely affect device performance. The Ti-Ni-Cu metal system is also preferred because these three metals can be etched in a single etching operation with an etchant consisting of, for example, nitric acid, acetic acid, hydrofluoric acid, and water. . Alternative metal systems such as Al-TiW-Cu are metallurgically acceptable, but require three separate etchants to pattern the layer, thus requiring three separate etchants. This method has the disadvantage of requiring a cutting step.

During assembly of semiconductor devices, care must be taken to prevent oxidation of unplated copper surfaces. Surface oxidation can prevent proper metallurgical bonding and can cause assembly yield and reliability problems. Thus, during melting of the solder, the heated package member is maintained in a flowing inert or reducing atmosphere, such as nitrogen or forming gas, to prevent oxidation that would interfere with die bonding and subsequent wire bonding. The conductors are bonded to the upper metal wiring and package conductors using ultrasonic bonding techniques. Such techniques require significantly less heating, especially when compared to hot compression or ball bonding techniques. Since ultrasonic wire bonding is a room temperature operation, no special protective atmosphere is required to prevent oxidation during bonding.

Preferably, the conductor 28 is a copper ribbon rather than a wire with a circular cross section. Copper conductors are harder and less susceptible to deformation than traditional aluminum or gold conductors. The flat ribbon shape distributes the ultrasonic energy throughout the bonding site and requires less deformation than a wire with a circular cross section. Ultrasonic bonding of copper ribbons provides better control of the bond than with other metals. Relatively hard copper deforms very little, forming homogeneous and reproducible bonding sites, thus reducing the number of short circuits that can occur from excessive deformation.

After die bonding and lead bonding, the semiconductor die and bond sites are covered with a die coating. This die coating appears to be necessary to prevent copper migration and dendrite formation at the copper-copper joint. Polyimides are preferred die coating materials. The die coating is the first barrier layer that protects the die and bond from the surrounding atmosphere. To complete the encapsulation of the semiconductor device, the plastic container 18 shown in FIG.
It is injection molded or pressure molded around the die and some of the conductors and die-mounted package components. The plastic may be epoxy, polyimide, industrial plastic or the like.
