Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a bonding wire, hot strength thereof has approximately cold strength of a high-purity gold wire and performance thereof as a high-speed bonder can be displayed at a maximum value, by using a gold alloy wire to which a specific quantity of sodium is added. CONSTITUTION:A gold alloy wire in which 0.0001-0.01wt% sodium is made to contain in not less than purity 99.99wt% gold is used. Both cold strength and hot strength augment with the increase of the content of sodium, but a ball shape is not formed to a true sphere when the content of sodium exceeds 0.01wt%. Its tensile strength is larger than that of a pure gold wire, and disconnection during wire drawing working is also reduced remarkably.

Such a bonding process can be performed manually or automatically using a wire bonder. However, if the properties of the gold wire used for such bonding vary, the ball shape, loop shape, and bonding strength will vary, reducing the reliability of semiconductor devices. I try to use pure gold. However, in recent years, attempts have been made to further increase the speed of automatic bongos in order to reduce the assembly costs of semiconductor devices, especially ICs, but it has become clear that the high-purity gold wire mentioned above cannot be adapted to such increased speeds. Ta. The reason for this is that the mechanical strength of the gold wire is low, especially its breaking strength in hot conditions, and when the gold wire is pulled by the high-speed movement of the capillary, the tensile force may exceed the breaking strength of the gold wire. This is because line breakage occurs frequently during bonding. Also, even if you manage to bond without breaking the wire, the high-purity gold wire will become significantly softer due to the heat generated, and will lose most of its strength to maintain its loop shape, resulting in the loop being broken. It may sag (this is called loop sag) and come into contact with the element or the metal part on which the element is mounted, causing malfunction.
