Abstract

PURPOSE: To enable solder to be less eaten up by a method wherein a bump of pure platinum or platinum alloy is connected to an aluminum electrode or an aluminum alloy electrode and bonded to a board electrode or a lead electrode through the intermediary of tin or tin alloy. CONSTITUTION: A bump 14 of pure platinum or platinum alloy is connected to an aluminum electrode or an aluminum alloy electrode 11 formed on a semiconductor chip 10 and bonded to art electrode 16 of a board 15 through the intermediary of low-melting point metal such as tin or tin alloy. Platinum has a higher fusing point than gold and is mutually diffused into each other at a joint in a performance test carried out at a high temperature when it is bonded to another metal. By this setup, even if alloy of tin and lead is formed, platinum is comparatively high in thermal stability as compared with gold and excellent in bonding reliability, so that a bump-bonded structure where solder is less eaten up can be realized. High-melting point metal as bump metal other than platinum is not enough in bonding properties to an aluminum electrode, and if metal is susceptible to oxidation, it is not good enough in bonding properties.

As a bump metal, a refractory metal other than platinum has a problem in bonding even if it has insufficient bondability to the aluminum electrode side and has a strong oxidation tendency. The surface of the aluminum electrode is generally covered with an oxide film. Therefore, in order to connect the bumps, it is necessary to break the oxide film to connect the bumps, and in order to improve the adhesion of the bumps and the reliability after the mutual diffusion of the bumps and the aluminum metal, the bumps should be formed on the semiconductor chip. Ti, Ni, TiW is formed on the formed aluminum electrode or aluminum alloy electrode.
It is effective to form a thin film of one kind or two or more kinds of alloys, Cr, Cu, etc., with a total thickness of 0.001 μm or more and 1 μm or less, and connect bumps made of pure platinum or platinum alloy on the thin film. Is.

As a method of connecting the bumps, it is preferable to use spherical bumps made of platinum or a platinum alloy and having a diameter of 10 μm or more and 50 μm or less, and aligning and arranging with each electrode of the chip for connection. This joining is performed by thermocompression bonding or ultrasonic bonding together. If the diameter is 10 μm or less, the amount of deformation at the time of joining cannot be sufficiently taken, and it is difficult to stably connect all the bumps.
As described above, it becomes difficult to effectively meet the demand for a narrow pitch.

The platinum ultrafine wire for bump formation of the present invention preferably has a platinum bump purity of 95% or more. If the platinum purity is less than 95%, the hardness is high, and therefore the risk of damaging the chip during bonding increases. The balls are formed by cutting platinum or a platinum alloy formed into an ultrafine wire into a predetermined size and melting the platinum or platinum alloy to obtain spherical balls with high accuracy. In order to obtain a constant spherical shape, the finer the wire diameter, the longer the length for cutting into a certain dimension, and the higher the dimensional accuracy of the spherical shape. However, in ordinary wire drawing, wire drawing with a diameter of less than 10 μm It is difficult and difficult to handle. Further, when the diameter exceeds 70 μm, the cutting accuracy is poor,
In particular, it is not preferable in terms of spherical dimensional accuracy. As the connection to the aluminum electrode side, in addition to the method of forming the balls in advance and array-bonding as described above, the stud bump method of forming the bumps by ball-bonding with a normal wire bonding device is adopted.

According to the platinum ultrafine wire of the present invention, it is possible to easily form a ball having a high sphericity and no oxide film on the surface by discharge. Further, as described above, the bonding to the aluminum electrode film requires that the oxide film on the surface be destroyed and bonded. Especially, when the oxide film thickness is large and the bondability is deteriorated, platinum alloy is used. It is effective to take measures to increase the ball hardness. A significant improvement effect can be obtained by adding 5% or less of gold, palladium and indium. Further, if the addition amount exceeds 5%, the ball becomes hard and, at the same time, the ball forming property becomes unstable. Further, addition of other alloy elements is not preferable because the sphericity of the ball deteriorates.

In this case, the amount of solder was almost equal to the volume of the ball. The heating test temperature is 220 ° C.,
For each sample, the time (limit time) when the electrical resistance increased by 10Ω or more was investigated. This time limit was 650 hours for the sample, 700 hours for the sample, and 150 hours for the sample. As a result, it became clear that the formation of the TiW alloy thin film exhibits excellent long-term reliability at high temperatures.
