Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable to perform a high strength wire bonding on a semiconductor pellet at low cost in a highly reliable manner by a method wherein the ball formed at the tip of a bonding wire is inroaded into the region to be bonded in a sufficient reducing atmosphere. CONSTITUTION:Reducing gas such as N2 and H2 10% is continuously fed into the conveying path 10 with which a lead frame 11 is conveyed, and the conveying path 10 is maintained in a sufficient reducing atmosphere. A capillary 18 is lowered, and a bonding wire 17 is thermo-press welded on an electrode pad 27 through the intermediary of a ball 29. At this time, the ball 29 is crushed in the state wherein it is inroaded into an electrode pad 27 at least as deep as the thickness (x) of 0.5-3mum of the ball 29, it is turned into a flat part 29a and formed into one body with the electrode pad 27.

In the conventional semiconductor device assembly method, as shown in FIG.
The electrode pads 3 on the semiconductor pellet 2 mounted on the mounting floor of the lead frame 1 are connected to the external leads 4 by laying bonding wires 5 made of gold wire. In this way, when a gold wire is used for the denting wire 5, there are the following problems.

■ 高温でざンrイング線5の架設を行うと、At製の

(2) When the cutting wire 5 is installed at a high temperature, a compound of gold and aluminum is generated at the joint between the At electrode/9-piece 3 and the mending wire 5. This causes deterioration of electrical characteristics at the joint.

■ 金線からなるボンディング線5自身に酸化が起きな
い場合であっても、接合部の電気特性の劣化によって半
導体素子の信頼性が低下する。
(2) Even if the bonding wire 5 itself made of gold wire is not oxidized, the reliability of the semiconductor element decreases due to the deterioration of the electrical characteristics of the bonding portion.

■ 金とアルミニウムの化合物は?ンディング処理後の
放置された状態下でも発生するため、電気特性の安定し

■ What is a compound of gold and aluminum? Since this occurs even when left unattended after the bonding process, a semiconductor element with stable electrical characteristics cannot be obtained.

■ 金線は高価であるため、製造価格が高くなる。■ Since gold wire is expensive, the manufacturing price will be high.

In order to solve this problem, Japanese Patent Application No. 55-8831 was filed.
No. 8 discloses a technique for constructing a bonding wire between a mending wire made of copper wire and a lead frame made of copper by selectively activating a region to be bonded.

Furthermore, in Japanese Patent Application No. 57-51237, the tip of a capillary from which a bonding wire is led is introduced into a cover kept in a reducing atmosphere to form a ball with a desired shape and to prevent oxidation of the bonding wire. A technique for performing a bonding process is disclosed. However, this technology requires a complicated mechanism including a cover to maintain a reducing atmosphere, and when the bonding process is performed at a processing speed of less than 1 second, breakdowns are likely to occur and maintenance is labor-intensive. There's a problem. Further, since the oxide on the lead frame side on which the external leads are formed cannot be removed, there is a problem that a highly reliable bonding process cannot be performed between a bonding wire made of copper wire and a lead frame made of copper.
