However, in recent years, as the number of pins of semiconductor devices has increased, the pitch of the bonding wires has become narrower and the bonding distance has become longer. If the conventional bonding wires are used as they are, wire loops may drop or resin Since the bonding wires are deformed by the flow resistance of the resin during encapsulation and the bonding wires come into contact with each other, problems such as increasing the additive amount of additive elements and increasing the types of additive elements are used. Attempts have been made to improve the strength of the bonding wire.

However, in the method of simply increasing the amount of the added element, that is, by adding the elements that have been added according to the type until now, even if the strength of the bonding wire is improved, it is obtained by heating and melting in the first bonding. The ball is too hard to crack the semiconductor element, the shape of the ball does not become a true sphere, a contraction hole occurs when forming a ball even if it is close to a true sphere, and the ball distorts when bonded to an electrode on a semiconductor element. When it is encapsulated with resin, it deforms into contact with the adjacent electrode, there is a contraction hole and sufficient bonding strength with the electrode cannot be obtained, and the crushed shape of the ball after bonding is distorted to form an abnormal loop. In addition, the flow resistance of the resin causes problems such as the bonding wires contacting each other.

In the bonding wire of the present invention, the reason why Cu and Pd are added in combination with Au is that when Cu and Pd are added together, surface oxidation is less likely to occur and a ball with a clean surface close to a true sphere can be obtained. Since the crystal grain size of this ball is fine, the crushed shape of the ball after bonding is close to a perfect circle, and since Cu and Pd can be added in a larger amount than in the conventional case, the bonding strength is higher and stabler than in the conventional case. In addition to improving the straightness of the bonding wire,
This is because it is possible to provide a bonding wire having improved tensile strength at room temperature and high temperature as compared with high-purity gold. The effect is that Cu is 0.1% by weight or more and Pd is 0.
It appears by adding more than 01% by weight, and Cu
If the content of Pd and Pd exceeds 1% by weight, wrinkles occur on the surface of the ball formed when the bonding wire is heated and melted in the first bonding, resulting in large variations in tensile strength after bonding, Since the straightness may be abnormal, or the ball may become too hard to cause cracks in the semiconductor element during bonding, Cu may be reduced to 0.
It is necessary to have a composition containing 1 to 2% by weight and Pd of 0.1 to 1% by weight.

[0012] The reason why Au contains Cu and Pd in addition to a small amount of Sn is that the synergistic effect with Cu and Pd reduces the ball hardness without changing the shape and properties of the ball. This is to reduce the processing hardness of the balls and the damage given to the semiconductor element. The amount of Sn added is 0.0001 to 0.01
If the content is less than 0.0001% by weight, a synergistic effect with Cu and Pd does not appear, and if it exceeds 0.01% by weight, the ball has a spherical shape when the bonding wire is heated and melted in the first bonding. Since it may not be possible to obtain a sufficient degree of shrinkage, and it may cause shrinkage holes and decrease the joint strength.
The addition amount of Sn is preferably 0.0001 to 0.01% by weight.

In addition to containing Cu and Pd in Au, trace amounts of Ca, Be, Ge, rare earth elements, Sr, Ba,
The reason for containing one or more of In and Ti is that the linearity is further improved by the synergistic effect with Cu and Pd, and the tensile strength at room temperature and high temperature and the bonding strength are further improved. In addition, it is to prevent the neck from breaking. Ca, Be, Ge, rare earth elements, Sr, Ba,
The sum of the contents of one or more of In and Ti is 0.0001 to 0.01% by weight is 0.0
If it is less than 001% by weight, the synergistic effect with Cu and Pd does not appear, and the straightness, tensile strength and bonding strength cannot be further improved. If it exceeds 0.01% by weight, the bonding wire is heated in the first bonding. Ball sphericity cannot be obtained when melted by melting, variation in tensile strength after joining becomes large, hardness of bonding wire becomes too high, cracks occur in semiconductor elements, neck breakage occurs, Since it may cause an abnormality in straightness,
The total content of one or more of Ca, Be, Ge, rare earth elements, Sr, Ba, In and Ti is 0.
It is preferably 0001 to 0.01% by weight.

A, In, Sn and Ti were added at various ratios, and a gold alloy having the composition shown in Table 1 was melt-cast. A 20 μmφ bonding wire was obtained by rolling and drawing these castings. Next, these wires were heat treated so that the breaking elongation at room temperature was 4% to obtain bonding samples. The balls obtained by heating and melting these bonding samples during the first bonding were sampled and The surface was observed with a microscope. Further, bonding was performed 1000 times using the obtained bonding wire, and presence / absence of occurrence of loop abnormality and presence / absence of occurrence of crack in semiconductor element were investigated. Further, the tensile test of the obtained bonding wire was conducted at room temperature. The results obtained in the above test are shown in Table 2.
