Definitions

  • My invention relates to a method and means of bonding a contact wire to a semiconductor member by thermocompression requiring a simultaneous application of pressure and heat, the temperature being below the melting point of the metal and semiconductor substance that are to be thus bonded to each other.
  • the invention relates to thermocompression method and apparatus of the type in which the wire to be attached to the semiconductor bodies is supplied through a guiding nozzle toward the semiconductor surface.
  • the wire end protruding from the nozzle opening is pressed onto the semiconductor surface by forcing the suitably shaped lower nozzle edge against the surface and simultaneously subjecting the semiconductor and wire end to the necessary temperature.
  • the wire end is first bent laterally so as to lie between the nozzle and the surface against which it is being pressed.
  • the wire is trimmed by means of a shear-type cutting device, and the wire end issuing from the nozzle is then bent or crimped generally to the shape of a hook in preparation for the next thermocompressive bonding operation.
  • the bending of the wire end can be effected by twisting the closed shear-like tool after cutting the wire and before releasing the wire end adjacent to the nozzle, so as to turn a portion of this end upwardly.
  • the wire end thus bent and extending away from the axial direction of the wire is rather long so that it cannot be directly employed for attachment to small semiconductor areas, for example those having a length of less than 150 microns.
  • the length of the laterally bent end of the wire can be considerably reduced by adjusting the shear blades in such a manner that the overlapping motion of the blades that cause severing of the wire simultaneously effect the desired crimping of the wire end.
  • the length of the wire end extending between the nozzle opening to the cutting plane is equal to the wire diameter plus the thickness of the scissors blade facing the nozzle.
  • the length of the wire end portion is about 70 to 120 microns for a wire diameter of about microns and a shear blade thickness of 50 to 100 microns.
  • thermocompression methods and devices generally of the abovementioned kind, so as to effect, simultaneously with the thermo-compressive bonding of a wire to a semiconductor body, the formation of a laterally bent and sufficiently short end at the severed supply wire which directly permits this end to be thermocompressively bonded to a semiconductor member having relatively small contact area.
  • the bonding of a contact wire to a semiconductor area is effected generally in accordance with the aforementioned principles of the known method, namely by supplying the wire through a guiding nozzle, attaching the protruding wire end to the semiconductor member by thermocompression with the aid of a nozzle, and thereafter trimming the attached wire to a given length by means of a pair of shear blades.
  • at least one of the shear blades is elastically yielding relative to the other in a direction perpendicular to the cutting plane and hence parallel to the axis of the wire or nozzle.
  • the blades are set relative to each other so that they abut against each other during a cutting stroke but are given an angular cross section at the cutting front so that, due to the elasticity mentioned, the blade located at the side closer to the nozzle will ride up on and then glide over the other blade thereby bending the wire end protruding from the nozzle as the wire is being cut.
  • the cutting plane is located at a distance from the nozzle that is shorter than the sum of the wire diameter plus the thickness of the elastically yieldable shear blade adjacent to the nozzle.
  • the shear blades of the cutting device are made of elastic material such as spring or tool steel of sufficiently thin gauge as to be capable of yielding in a direction away from the other blade to ride up on and cuttingly glide along the other blade in the manner explained hereinabove.
  • the front cutting face of the upper blade i.e., adjacent to the nozzle, is provided with an angular cross section, the angle being at least substantially rectangular and preferably obtuse, having its apex pointing in the cutting direction toward the wire.
  • the upper i.e. nozzle-adjacent, shear blade of the cutting tool is provided with a reinforcing member which increases the mechanical strength and rigidity of the blade in an area spaced from the cutting edge.
  • the reinforcing member is preferably given a stepped shape so that it has a top portion receding from the blade-contacting bottom portion of the reinforcing member and adapted to the shape of the nozzle. This facilitates loeating the cutting plane at the desired short distance from the nozzle end and also permits using the reinforcing member as a calibrating or adjusting device for properly setting the blade with respect to the nozzle, this being particularly of advantage when using the thermocompression device for mass production.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically and in perspective a device for attaching contact wires to semiconductor components.
  • FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 show partly in section and schematical- 1y three different stages of a cutting and bending operation as performed in a thermocompression device heretofore available;
  • FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 show schematically and partly in section three different stages of a cutting and simultaneous bending operation performed in accordance with the method and with the aid of the means according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 serves mainly for explaining the cutting operation in conjunction with the other figures.
  • a semi-conductor device in this case a mesa transistor 1
  • a heated support to assume the temperature required for thermocompressioon.
  • a suitable heated support is shown in application Serial No. 335,323, filed January 2, 1964, of which I am coinventer.
  • the transistor 1 is to be joined with contact wire at the areas 2, 3 and 4.
  • the wire is supplied through a nozzle 5 of glass or other suitable material having an axial capillary 25 through which it is guided.
  • the wire -6 consists of gold and has a diameter of about 20 microns.
  • a contact 7 on the area 4 is produced by pressing the end of wire 6 against the area 4 with the aid of the nozzle 5 which for this purpose is lowered under an area pressure between approximate limits of 5 and kg. per m-m. onto the transistor 1 that is simultaneously heated to a preferable temperature of about 200 to about 400 C. Thereafter the wire 6 is pulled out of the nozzle 5 and passed to contact area 22 where the wire is attached at 2.7 in the same manner. After the bonding is completed at 4 and 27, the nozzle 5 is moved sufficiently far away from the transistor 1, and the bonded wire 6 is trimmed by means of a cutter consisting substantially of a pair of shear blades 8 and 9 which simultaneously causes the end of the wire to be bent laterally in preparation for the next thermocompressive bonding operation. The thickness of the shear blades is 50 to 100 microns.
  • the wire portion projecting from the nozzle opening is bent as the wire is being severed from a wire portion that may or may not be attached to a semiconductor body.
  • the bending is the result of the gliding movement which the top blade 8 performs relative to the bottom blade in the cutting direction, i.e. transverse to the axis of the wire or nozzle.

Description

H. KOLLNER 3,239,452 DEVICE FOR BONDING A CONTACT WIRE 0 A SEMICONDUCTOR MEMBER Filed June 5. 1964 Dec. 6, 1966 METHOD AND United States Patent s 86, Claims. of. 72-324 My invention relates to a method and means of bonding a contact wire to a semiconductor member by thermocompression requiring a simultaneous application of pressure and heat, the temperature being below the melting point of the metal and semiconductor substance that are to be thus bonded to each other.
In a more particular aspect, the invention relates to thermocompression method and apparatus of the type in which the wire to be attached to the semiconductor bodies is supplied through a guiding nozzle toward the semiconductor surface. The wire end protruding from the nozzle opening is pressed onto the semiconductor surface by forcing the suitably shaped lower nozzle edge against the surface and simultaneously subjecting the semiconductor and wire end to the necessary temperature. To facilitate the compression operation, the wire end is first bent laterally so as to lie between the nozzle and the surface against which it is being pressed.
After attachment, the wire is trimmed by means of a shear-type cutting device, and the wire end issuing from the nozzle is then bent or crimped generally to the shape of a hook in preparation for the next thermocompressive bonding operation. The bending of the wire end can be effected by twisting the closed shear-like tool after cutting the wire and before releasing the wire end adjacent to the nozzle, so as to turn a portion of this end upwardly. The wire end thus bent and extending away from the axial direction of the wire is rather long so that it cannot be directly employed for attachment to small semiconductor areas, for example those having a length of less than 150 microns.
The length of the laterally bent end of the wire can be considerably reduced by adjusting the shear blades in such a manner that the overlapping motion of the blades that cause severing of the wire simultaneously effect the desired crimping of the wire end. Under most favorable conditions, the length of the wire end extending between the nozzle opening to the cutting plane is equal to the wire diameter plus the thickness of the scissors blade facing the nozzle. For example the length of the wire end portion is about 70 to 120 microns for a wire diameter of about microns and a shear blade thickness of 50 to 100 microns.
For bonding contact wires to the extremely small areas available on transistors and many other electronic semiconductor devices having a length of less than 100 microns, and preferably about 50 microns long, shorter lengths of contact wire are required, however, namely lengths of not more than and preferably less than about 40 microns. Such short lengths of the laterally bent wire protruding from the thermocompression nozzle have not been obtainable with methods and devices of the above-mentioned type heretofore, because the thickness of the cutter blade that is closer to the nozzle cannot be arbitrarily reduced without excessively impairing the necessary mechanical strength thereof.
It is an object of my invention to improve thermocompression methods and devices generally of the abovementioned kind, so as to effect, simultaneously with the thermo-compressive bonding of a wire to a semiconductor body, the formation of a laterally bent and sufficiently short end at the severed supply wire which directly permits this end to be thermocompressively bonded to a semiconductor member having relatively small contact area.
To this end and in accordance with my invention, the bonding of a contact wire to a semiconductor area, particularly an area of extremely small size, is effected generally in accordance with the aforementioned principles of the known method, namely by supplying the wire through a guiding nozzle, attaching the protruding wire end to the semiconductor member by thermocompression with the aid of a nozzle, and thereafter trimming the attached wire to a given length by means of a pair of shear blades. However, according to a feature of my invention, at least one of the shear blades is elastically yielding relative to the other in a direction perpendicular to the cutting plane and hence parallel to the axis of the wire or nozzle. The blades, furthermore, are set relative to each other so that they abut against each other during a cutting stroke but are given an angular cross section at the cutting front so that, due to the elasticity mentioned, the blade located at the side closer to the nozzle will ride up on and then glide over the other blade thereby bending the wire end protruding from the nozzle as the wire is being cut. Conjointly with the last-mentioned feature, the cutting plane is located at a distance from the nozzle that is shorter than the sum of the wire diameter plus the thickness of the elastically yieldable shear blade adjacent to the nozzle.
Preferably and according to another feature of my invention, the shear blades of the cutting device, or at least the one blade adjacent the nozzle, are made of elastic material such as spring or tool steel of sufficiently thin gauge as to be capable of yielding in a direction away from the other blade to ride up on and cuttingly glide along the other blade in the manner explained hereinabove.
According to a further feature of my invention, the front cutting face of the upper blade, i.e., adjacent to the nozzle, is provided with an angular cross section, the angle being at least substantially rectangular and preferably obtuse, having its apex pointing in the cutting direction toward the wire.
According to still another, preferred feature of the invention, the upper i.e. nozzle-adjacent, shear blade of the cutting tool is provided with a reinforcing member which increases the mechanical strength and rigidity of the blade in an area spaced from the cutting edge. The reinforcing member is preferably given a stepped shape so that it has a top portion receding from the blade-contacting bottom portion of the reinforcing member and adapted to the shape of the nozzle. This facilitates loeating the cutting plane at the desired short distance from the nozzle end and also permits using the reinforcing member as a calibrating or adjusting device for properly setting the blade with respect to the nozzle, this being particularly of advantage when using the thermocompression device for mass production.
Other features which are considered as characteristic for the invention are set forth in the appended claims.
Although the invention has been illustrated and described as method and device for bonding a contact wire to a semiconductor member, it is nevertheless not intended to be limited to the details shown, since various modifications and structural changes maybe made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention and within the scope and range of equivalents of the claims.
The construction and method of operation of the invention, however, together with additional objects and advantages thereof will be best understood from the fol- 3, lowing description when read in connection with the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows schematically and in perspective a device for attaching contact wires to semiconductor components.
FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 show partly in section and schematical- 1y three different stages of a cutting and bending operation as performed in a thermocompression device heretofore available; and
FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 show schematically and partly in section three different stages of a cutting and simultaneous bending operation performed in accordance with the method and with the aid of the means according to the invention.
The same reference numerals are applied in all the figures for respective corresponding elements.
FIG. 1 serves mainly for explaining the cutting operation in conjunction with the other figures. A semi-conductor device, in this case a mesa transistor 1, is placed upon a heated support to assume the temperature required for thermocompressioon. A suitable heated support is shown in application Serial No. 335,323, filed January 2, 1964, of which I am coinventer. The transistor 1 is to be joined with contact wire at the areas 2, 3 and 4. The wire is supplied through a nozzle 5 of glass or other suitable material having an axial capillary 25 through which it is guided. The wire -6 consists of gold and has a diameter of about 20 microns. A contact 7 on the area 4 is produced by pressing the end of wire 6 against the area 4 with the aid of the nozzle 5 which for this purpose is lowered under an area pressure between approximate limits of 5 and kg. per m-m. onto the transistor 1 that is simultaneously heated to a preferable temperature of about 200 to about 400 C. Thereafter the wire 6 is pulled out of the nozzle 5 and passed to contact area 22 where the wire is attached at 2.7 in the same manner. After the bonding is completed at 4 and 27, the nozzle 5 is moved sufficiently far away from the transistor 1, and the bonded wire 6 is trimmed by means of a cutter consisting substantially of a pair of shear blades 8 and 9 which simultaneously causes the end of the wire to be bent laterally in preparation for the next thermocompressive bonding operation. The thickness of the shear blades is 50 to 100 microns.
As shown in successive stages in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 the wire portion projecting from the nozzle opening is bent as the wire is being severed from a wire portion that may or may not be attached to a semiconductor body. The bending is the result of the gliding movement which the top blade 8 performs relative to the bottom blade in the cutting direction, i.e. transverse to the axis of the wire or nozzle.
FIG. 2 shows the cutting device at the beginning of the severing operation. After the shear blades meet each other, the wire is trimmed and the wire end projecting from the nozzle becomes bent as indicated in FIG. 3. U1- timately the bent portion forms a hook 11, as shown in FIG. 4. The smallest possible length of the laterally bent wire end from the cut tip 12 to the access opening of the capillary 25, corresponding to the distance s1 in FIG. 4, is at best equal to the sum of the wire diameter a plus the thickness r of the blade 8. J
FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 show a cutting and bending device according to the invention in three sequential stages corresponding to those described above with reference to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 respectively.
The two shear blades 8 and 9 as employed according to the invention,-are placed in respective positions that overlap each other along the nozzle or wire axis when the blades are disengaged from each other. However, at least one of the blades, namely the upper blade 8, is yieldable away from the lower blade and preferably consists of suitably elastic blade material. Furthermore, the cutting front face 13, 15 of the upper blade 8, which is closer to the nozzle 5 than the lower blade 9, is given an angular cross section so that the cutting front of blade 8 slopes downwardly at 15 from the top surface of the blade and upwardly at 13 from the bottom surface of the blade 8, thus forming at the apex of the angle a cutting edge that points in the cutting direction toward the wire (FIG. 5). The cutting edge of the blade 8 is located at or slightly above the height of the top surface of the counter blade 9, the lower portion 13 of the front face on blade 8 receding from the cutting edge. The angle between the two slopes 13 and 15 can be substantially rectangular but is preferably obtuse. For increasing the mechanical stability, the illustrated embodiment is provided with a stiifening or reinforcing structure 14 which is firmly joined 'by any suitable means, such as welding, brazing or the like, with the blade 8 on the top surface thereof but which is suitably spaced from the cutting front of the blade in order not to interfere with the resilience or elasticity of the blade that is required in the vicinity of the cutting front. The reinforcing structure 14 has a stepped appearance that includes a bottom shoulder portion projecting toward the nozzle axis. The shape of the reinforcing member conforms to that of the nozzle 5 to permit placing the blades as close as possible to the nozzle 5 and, if desired, using the reinforcing member 14 for the purpose of calibrating or adjusting the blades relative to the nozzle, as will be apparent from FIG. 7.
As the blades 8 and 9 move toward each other from the starting position shown in FIG. 5, the wire 6 is out between the respective cutting edges of the two blades. The stage obtaining directly after the completion of the cut is shown in FIG. 6. The end of the wire 6 protruding from the nozzle 5 has now become slightly bent by the advance of the slope 15, and by virtue of the receding slope 13 the elastic blade 8 has commenced climbing up on the blade 9, thus increasing the bending pressure against the end of the wire 6. As is apparent from FIG. 6, the length of the wire end extending from the nozzle 5 does not depend upon the thickness of the upper shear blade 8 but is determined by the distance of its cutting edge from the nozzle end 10. The length of the wire end, therefore, is smaller than the sum of the wire diameter and the upper blade thickness.
If the cutting front of the shear blade 8 is given a sufliciently large slope, the length of the severed and bent wire end can be reduced to values only slightly larger than the diameter d of the Wire 6.
FIG. 7 shows the ultimate position of the cutting device employed in the invention. The elastic blade 8 now rides up on the blade 9 and has completed its gliding movement in overlapping relation to the top surface of blade 9. This gliding motion has caused the end of wire 6 to be bent to the shape of a hook 11. The length of the wire end now protruding from the nozzle is approximately 40 microns, for example.
