Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent breakage of a chip while making strength of a neck part equivalent to that of a busbar or more by coating an outer peripheral surface of a core which consists of a specified metal or an alloy thereof with a coating material which consists of a specified metal or an alloy thereof and by limiting diameter ratio of a core outer diameter to a coating material outer diameter to a specified range. CONSTITUTION:A coating material 1 which consists of high purity Au or Au alloy is clad on a core 2 which consists of high purity Ag or Ag alloy. Then, wire drawing processing is performed. After annealing treatment is performed in the middle of the processing, a busbar of a specified wire diameter is formed by wire drawing processing. Furthermore, stress is removed. In the process, diameter ratio D2/D1% between an outer diameter D1 of the coating material 1 and an outer diameter D2 of the core 2 is limited to a range of 15<=D2/D1<=60 and 85<=D2/D1<=99. Thereby, a neck part becomes stronger than other busbar part and breakage of a chip is eliminated, thereby improving rigidity of a ball during ball formation. It is thereby possible to obtain thinner bonding wire to reduce bonding pitch accordingly and to realize high density package of an LSI.

In this example, as sample Nα14, a core wire 2 made of high-purity Ag containing 500a+ppm of P is clad with a coating material 1 of high-purity Au, which reduces the boiling point of the ball during ball formation. Elements evaporate and scatter, preventing the gas absorption characteristic of metals and obtaining a ball that is good for bonding.Also, low boiling point elements in the neck cannot evaporate but try to vaporize and generate stress, which causes stress after bonding. The rupture strength of the neck part is improved compared to the generatrix where stress does not occur.
