Description

半導体装置およびその製造方法
 この発明は、IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)やPIM(Power Integrated Module)などの半導体装置およびその製造方法に関する。
 図9は、従来の半導体装置の要部断面図である。従来の半導体装置の組立て工程について説明する。裏面銅箔3、セラミックス4、回路パターン5および回路パターン6からなる絶縁回路基板の裏面銅箔3と銅ベース1をはんだ2により接合し、回路パターン5と半導体チップ8をはんだ7により接合する。半導体チップ8はスイッチング素子であるIGBTやFWD(Free Wheeling Diode)などである。
 通常、これらのはんだ接合は、1回の加熱工程にて行われる。この後、半導体チップ8の上部の図示しないエミッタ電極と回路パターン6とを超音波振動にてボンディングワイヤ9(アルミワイヤなど)にて接続する。
 次に、外部端子11がインサート成型された端子ケース10と銅ベース1とを図示しないシリコーン系接着剤にて加熱接着する。この後、回路パターン5と外部端子11および回路パターン6と外部端子11とをスポットレーザ溶接する。この場合のレーザ溶接におけるレーザ光の照射位置は、外部端子11の上側である。その後、図示しない樹脂を充填し半導体チップ8の表面を被覆する。このようにして、従来の半導体装置を作製する。
 また、特許文献1において、半導体素子を搭載するための配線パターンを形成した基板とリードとをレーザにより接合してなる半導体素子搭載用基板であって、基板の電極パッドと接合するリードの先端部分がリードの他の部分より薄く形成されていることが開示されている。
 また、特許文献2において、樹脂封止体と、前記樹脂封止体内部に位置し、表裏面のうち表面に電極が形成された第1の半導体チップおよび第2の半導体チップと、前記樹脂封止体の内外に亘って延在し、前記第1の半導体チップの電極に電気的に接続される第1のリードと、前記第1のリードと、前記樹脂封止体の内外に亘って延在し、前記第2の半導体チップの電極に電気的に接続される第2のリードとを有する半導体装置の製造方法であって、前記第1のリード、第2のリードの各々を重ね合わせた状態で前記樹脂封止体を形成した後、前記第1のリード、第2のリードの各々をレーザ溶接することで、飛び散ったスパッタが半導体チップの回路形成面に飛来するのを防止することが開示されている。
特開平7-94845号公報 特開2006-74073号公報
 前記の図9に示すレーザ溶接は、樹脂17を被覆する前に行う。このレーザ溶接を行うと、図10に示すように、飛散したスパッタ21が絶縁基板(セラミックス4)に形成した回路パターン5、6(図示しない配線パターンも含む)などを短絡したり、ボンディングワイヤ9などの配線を切断(溶断)したり、半導体チップ8を損傷したりする。
 つまりスパッタが飛散することで、絶縁基板の絶縁不良、回路パターン同士の短絡、ワイヤ配線の断線、半導体チップへの物理的なダメージ(溶融痕、微細なキズ、マイクロクラックなど)および半導体チップの電気的特性不良(短絡など)を起こす。
 この発明の目的は、前記の課題を解決して、レーザ溶接で発生するスパッタが回路パターンや半導体チップに付着するのを防止して、電気的特性の劣化を防ぐことができる半導体装置およびその製造方法を提供することにある。

 (7)絶縁基板上に形成された回路パターンに半導体チップを固着する工程と、前記回路パターンもしくは前記半導体チップの少なくとも一方に接続導体を固着する工程と、前記接続導体の溶接部を露出させ、前記回路パターン、前記半導体チップを絶縁樹脂にて被覆する被覆工程と、前記被覆工程に続いて、前記半導体チップの主電極に主電流を流す外部端子を、前記接続導体の前記溶接部にレーザ溶接で接合する工程と、前記絶縁樹脂上に、前記接続導体の露出部と前記外部端子を被覆する上層絶縁樹脂を充填する充填工程と、を含む半導体装置の製造方法とする。
 (8)絶縁基板上に形成された回路パターンに半導体チップを固着する工程と、前記回路パターンもしくは前記半導体チップの少なくとも一方に接続導体を固着する工程と、前記接続導体の溶接部を露出させ、前記回路パターン、前記半導体チップを絶縁樹脂にて被覆する被覆工程と、前記被覆工程に続いて、前記半導体チップの主電極に主電流を流す外部端子と、前記接続導体の前記溶接部とにそれぞれ外部接続導体をレーザ溶接で接合する工程と、前記絶縁樹脂上に、前記接続導体の露出部と前記外部端子と前記外部接続導体とを被覆する上層絶縁樹脂を充填する充填工程と、を含む半導体装置の製造方法とする。
 (9)前記絶縁樹脂は、硬化性樹脂であって、前記被覆工程は、前記硬化性樹脂を硬化させる工程を含み、前記充填工程の前に、前記絶縁樹脂の表面の異物を除去する除去工程を有する半導体装置の製造方法とする。

 この発明によれば、絶縁樹脂の充填を2度に分けて行い、一回目の充填をレーザ溶接する下の部材の上部面より下になるようにし、その状態でレーザ溶接し、その後さらに追加の絶縁樹脂を充填することで、レーザ溶接時に発生するスパッタの飛散があっても、このスパッタにより回路パターンや半導体チップおよびボンディングワイヤなどが物理的な損傷(キズ、ワレ、切断など)を受けることがなく、電気的特性の劣化(耐圧低下、断線による非導通)を防止できる。

 実施の形態を以下の実施例で説明する。尚、従来技術の図9の部位と同一部位には同一符号を付した。
 <実施例1>
 図1は、この発明の第1実施例の半導体装置の要部断面図である。基本的な構造は、図9に示した従来の半導体装置と同じだが、異なるのは、回路パターン5と外部端子11との間および回路パターン6と外部端子11との間に接続導体14を挿入している点である。
 セラミックス4(絶縁基板)と、このセラミックス4の裏側に形成された裏面銅箔3と、セラミックス4の表側に形成された回路パターン5および回路パターン6からなる絶縁回路基板の裏面銅箔3と銅ベース1をはんだ2により接合し、回路パターン5と半導体チップ8をはんだ7により接合する。また、ブロック状の接続導体14を回路パターン5および回路パターン6とをはんだ13で接合する。このはんだ2およびはんだ13による接合は超音波接合であっても構わない。
 次に、半導体チップ8の上部の図示しないエミッタ電極と回路パターン6とを超音波振動にてボンディングワイヤ9(アルミワイヤなど)にて接続する。
 次に、外部端子11がインサート成型された端子ケース10と銅ベース1とを図示しないシリコーン系接着剤にて加熱接着する。この後、接続導体14の上部面Pが露出しボンディングワイヤ9が埋没するように樹脂17aを充填する(図4(a)参照)。
 その後、接続導体14と外部端子11とをスポットレーザ溶接する。この場合のレーザ溶接におけるレーザ光の照射位置は、外部端子11の上側である。接続導体14には、回路パターンと接合しやすく、外部端子11とレーザ溶接しやすい金属を、外部端子11は接続導体14とのレーザ溶接しやすい金属をそれぞれ選択する。外部へ主電流を流す観点から、導電性がよいことが望ましく、銅または銅合金が好適である。また、それぞれ接合性を勘案して表面にニッケルめっきなどを施してもよい。
 外部端子11にレーザを照射して外部端子11と接続導体14を溶接部12にて溶接する。レーザの照射によって、外部端子11が溶融しその一部がスパッタ21となって飛散する。飛散したスパッタは樹脂17a上に付着する。その後、さらに上層の絶縁樹脂として樹脂17bを充填する(図4(b)参照)。前記の樹脂17aと樹脂17bはシリコーンゲルやエポキシ樹脂であり、両者で同一材質の樹脂である。樹脂17aはレーザ溶接時に液状のままであっても、硬化させた状態であってもよい。また、両者の樹脂は異なった材質であっても構わない。
 樹脂17bを充填する前に、樹脂17a上に付着したスパッタ21を除去する工程を加えてもよい。例えば、樹脂17a上にエアーを吹き付けて、スパッタ21を除去する。レーザ照射の前に樹脂17aを硬化させておくとエアーなどによってスパッタ21を除去するのが容易となる。
 このようにして、本発明の半導体装置を作製する。スパッタ21が樹脂17a上に付着し、この樹脂17aがマスクとなり回路パターン5、回路パターン6などや半導体チップ8上およびボンディングワイヤ9にスパッタ21が到達しないため、これらに損傷を与えることはない。
 つまり、レーザ溶接時にスパッタ21が発生し飛散しても、このスパッタ21により回路パターン5、6や半導体チップ8およびボンディングワイヤ9が物理的な損傷(キズ、ワレ、切断など)を受けることを防止でき、電気的特性の劣化(耐圧低下、断線による非導通)を防止できる。
 ここで、回路パターン5に、IGBTなどの1または複数の信号電極を有する半導体チップ8を実装した変形例について説明する。
 図2に第1実施例の半導体装置の変形例を示す。ここで、図(a)および図(b)には工程順の要部断面が示されている。
 半導体チップ8は、主電極のほかに、前記主電極が配置されている半導体チップ8の主面に、1または複数の信号電極を有している。そして、前記主電極を回路パターン6へ接続して主電流を流すボンディングワイヤ9とは別に、前記信号電極を、信号端子11’と接続する信号用のボンディングワイヤ90が接続される。そして、図(a)に示すように、半導体チップ8の信号電極に導通する信号端子11’の少なくとも一部、もしくは前記信号端子11’に導通するボンディングワイヤ90が樹脂17aにより被覆されている。
 主電流を流すボンディングワイヤ9は、通常、信号電極に接続するボンディングワイヤ90より太く、1つの主電極に対して複数本接続される。ボンディングワイヤ9の太さならびに本数は、主電極に流れる電流の大きさまたはボンディングワイヤ1本あたりに通流可能な電流の大きさによって選択する。
 信号電極に接続するボンディングワイヤ90には、主電極に接続されるボンディングワイヤ9のように大きな電流が流れることがなく、また信号電極も小さいため、細いワイヤが用いられる。
 ボンディングワイヤに対するスパッタ21の影響を防ぐためには、前記樹脂17aは、すべてのボンディングワイヤを覆うのが望ましい。
 主電流を流すボンディングワイヤ9は、信号電極に接続するボンディングワイヤ90より太く剛性も大きいため、信号電極に接続するボンディングワイヤ90に比べてスパッタ21の衝突の影響を受けにくい。また、近接するボンディングワイヤ9は複数本並列に接続されたものであるため、スパッタ21がボンディングワイヤ9に付着しても、短絡の影響も受けにくい。
 ボンディングワイヤ9のループ高は、ワイヤの剛性の違いから信号電極に接続するボンディングワイヤ90より高いため、前記樹脂17aの充填高さを、少なくとも、信号電極に接続するボンディングワイヤ90を覆う高さとする。この高さとなるように、前記溶接部12の位置Hを決定すると、図2に示すように、半導体装置の高さを低くすることができる。また、信号電極に接続するボンディングワイヤ90をスパッタ21から確実に保護することもできる。
 前記の接続導体14は、回路パターン5表面および回路パターン6表面に前述したようにはんだ13にて接合されている。この接続導体14と回路パターン5および回路パターン6とのはんだ接合は、銅ベース1と裏面銅箔とのはんだ接合、回路パターン5と半導体チップ8とのはんだ接合と同じ工程で実施することができる。
 すなわち、新たにはんだ接合工程を増やすことなく、接続導体14をはんだ接合することができる。
 接続導体14を絶縁回路基板の回路パターン5および回路パターン6にはんだ接合した後、外部端子11と接続導体14とをスポットレーザ溶接する。ここで用いる接続導体14の厚さは、外部端子11の厚さ以上とすることで、溶接部12が接続導体14の下に位置する絶縁回路基板の回路パターン5および回路パターン6や図示しない回路配線などの回路パターンに到達することなく、信頼性の高いレーザ溶接による安定した強固な接合が実現できる。
 また、この信号端子11’を含めた半導体装置の形態においては、図3に示す形態であってもよい。
 図3は第1実施例の半導体装置の別の変形例を示す。図3では、信号端子11’周辺の半導体装置の要部断面図が示されている。尚、図3において、銅ベース1は、表示されていない。
 例えば、図(a)に示すように、端子ケース10に一体的に成型(封止)された信号端子11’と半導体チップ8の信号電極とが、直接的にボンディングワイヤ90を通じて電気的に接続されている。
 また、図(b)に示すように、セラミックス4上に、回路パターン5とは別の回路パターン5’を設け、当該回路パターン5’と半導体チップ8の信号電極とが、直接的にボンディングワイヤ90を通じて電気的に接続されている。そして、端子ケース10に一体的に成型された信号端子11’と回路パターン5’とがボンディングワイヤ91を通じて電気的に接続されている。
 また、図(c)に示すように、回路パターン5’にはんだ13を介して、信号端子11’を接合してもよい。そして、信号端子11’と半導体チップ8の信号電極とを直接的にボンディングワイヤ90を通じて電気的に接続してもよい。
 このような半導体装置の形態であってもよい。
 図4は、図1の半導体装置の製造方法を説明する工程であり、同図(a)、同図(b)は工程順に示した要部製造工程断面図である。工程の説明は前記の図1で行っている。
 レーザ溶接する前に樹脂17aを充填するので、レーザ溶接時に発生するスパッタ21は樹脂17aの表面に付着し、回路パターン5,6や半導体チップ8へは付着しない。そのため電気的特性の劣化が防止される。また、その後、樹脂17bを充填するのでスパッタ21が樹脂17に混入するのは樹脂17aと樹脂17bの界面となり、スパッタ21はこの界面に散在することになる。
 図5は、端子ケースと接続導体の距離が大きい場合のA部の構成図であり、同図(a)は外部端子を伸ばした場合の図、同図(b)は外部接続導体を用いた場合の図である。図に示すように、端子ケース10と接続導体14の間の距離が大きい場合には、同図(a)で示すように外部端子11を接続導体14まで伸ばすか、同図(b)で示すように外部接続導体19で外部端子11と接続導体14を橋渡しをすればよい。
 <実施例2>
 図6は、この発明の第2実施例の半導体装置の要部断面図である。図1の場合との差異は、外部端子11とスポットレーザ溶接を行う接続導体の形状がU字型の接続導体15としている点である。ここで、U字型と称したのは、「U」の文字を横に倒した形状であるためである。回路パターン5にはんだ接合する面と、溶接部12で溶接する面(P)とが回路パターン面より立ち上がる部分(連結部)によって空間を隔てて連結された形状である。接続導体15をU字形状とすることで、レーザ溶接の際、上側に位置する外部接続導体(リードフレーム)で下側に位置するU字型接続導体15の上部平板部(上部面P)を押さえ込むことにより上部平板部Pがたわんでレーザ溶接面において、接続導体15と外部端子11とがしっかりと密着して良好なレーザ溶接ができる。
 また、U字型接続導体15の厚みおよびこれらの材料の表面状態やレーザパワーに変動が生じた場合、レーザ溶接時にU字型の上部の平板部aが溶融しその溶接部12の中心に貫通孔が形成されることがある。その場合、この貫通孔を介してレーザ光がU字型の下側の平板部bに照射される。
 しかし、U字型の下側の平板部bにはレーザ光の焦点が結ばないためレーザ光のエネルギーが弱まりU字型の下側の平板部bは溶融しない。このように、U字型接続導体15を挿入することで、絶縁回路基板の回路パターン5および回路パターン6への溶接部12の到達を防止することができる。そのため、信頼性の高いレーザ溶接による安定した強固な接合を実現することができる。
 この場合も第1実施例と同様にレーザ溶接する前に樹脂17aをU字型の上側の平板部の表面(上部面P)より下で、ボンディングワイヤ9を被覆するように充填し、レーザ溶接が終わった後で再度樹脂17a上に樹脂17bを充填する。こうすることで、レーザ溶接時に発生するスパッタ21が絶縁基板の回路パターン(回路パターン5や回路パターン6や図示しない回路配線パターン)や半導体チップ8表面に付着したり、ボンディングワイヤ9を切断することが防止される。
 <実施例3>
 図7は、この発明の第3実施例の半導体装置の構成図であり、同図(a)は要部断面図、同図(b)は同図(a)のY-Y線で切断した要部断面図である。図1および図6の場合との差異は、接続導体の形状をΩ型としたΩ型接続導体16とした点である。Ω型と称したのは形状がΩの文字に似ているためである。回路パターン5にはんだ接合する面と、溶接部12で溶接する面(P)とが、回路パターン面より立ち上がる部分(連結部)によって、空間を隔てて連結された形状である。Ω型接続導体16は外部端子11とレーザ溶接による溶接部12で固着される。このレーザ溶接する前に樹脂17aをΩ型接続導体16の上側の平坦部表面(上部面P)より下に位置するように充填する。これによってスパッタ21による損傷や不良を防止する。レーザ溶接後、樹脂17a上に樹脂17bを充填する。
 このΩ型接続導体16は、はんだ13により回路パターン5および回路パターン6と接合されている。この場合も同様に、薄い回路パターン5および回路パターン6と厚い外部端子11とを溶接せず、間に厚いΩ型接続導体16を挿入することで、U字型接続導体を挿入した場合と同様に、絶縁回路基板の回路パターン5および回路パターン6への溶接部12の到達を防止することができる。そのため、信頼性の高いレーザ溶接による安定した強固な接合を実現することができる。この場合のΩ型接続導体16の厚さは、外部端子11の厚さ以上とする。
 前記の第2、第3実施例で示したU字型やΩ型に限らず、図示しないが、接続導体14の回路パターンや半導体チップに接合される面と、レーザ溶接される面との間に空間を設け、この空間をレーザ光の光路の延長上に位置するようにすることで同様の効果が得られる。また、円筒や四角柱の側壁の一部が切れて図示しないスリット状の開口部が形成されていても構わない。
 あるいは、断面が□字状の角状のパイプを切断し、一方の面を回路パターン5あるいは回路パターン6にはんだ接合し、対向する面に外部端子11をスポットレーザ溶接する構成としてもよい。
 この角状のパイプは長尺のパイプを切断するだけでよいので安価に用意することができる。また、断面が□字状なのでレーザ光の光路の延長上に空隙があり、同様の効果が得られる。
 <実施例4>
 図8は、この発明の第4実施例の半導体装置の要部構成図であり、同図(a)は要部断面図、同図(b)は同図(a)のY-Y線で切断した要部断面図、同図(c)は同図(a)のB部の構造が異なる要部断面図、同図(d)は同図(a)のC部の構造が異なる要部断面図である。この図は2個の半導体チップをΩ型接続導体20で接続し、そのΩ型接続導体20と外部接続導体19(リードフレーム)をレーザ溶接した場合の図である。同図(b)はΩ型接続導体20は2本の足元に2個の半導体チップ8(例えば、IGBTチップとダイオードチップなど)がそれぞれはんだ13で固着している状態を示している。同図(c)は端子ケースに外部端子が埋め込まれボンディングワイヤ9と接続する箇所が端子ケース10から露出している場合である。通常のケース構造は同図(c)のような構造をしている。
 また、Ω型接続導体20は外部接続導体19(外部端子11と接続する金属板やリードフレームのこと)とレーザ溶接による溶接部12で固着される。このレーザ溶接する前に樹脂17aをΩ型接続導体20の上側の平坦部表面(上部面P)より下に位置するように充填する。これによってスパッタ21による損傷や不良を防止する。レーザ溶接後、樹脂17a上に樹脂17bを充填する。外部端子11とセラミックス4に形成されるパッド22(ゲート用パッドなど)はボンディングワイヤ9で接続され、このボンディングワイヤ9は樹脂17aに埋没している。
 同図(a)では外部接続導体19でΩ型接続導体20と外部端子11を接続しているが、同図(d)で示すように外部接続導体19を用いないで、外部端子11をΩ型接続導体20まで伸ばし、外部端子11で直接Ω型接続導体20を接続しても構わない。
 尚、前記の接続導体14、U字型接続導体15,Ω型接続導体16、20および図示しない角状のパイプなどの接続導体の材質としては、低電気抵抗材(電気伝導率の大きな材料)である銅・銅合金を用いるとよい。また、前記半導体チップ8の上側にはアルミワイヤがボンディングされているが、リードフレームによる配線などの場合もある。
 また、前記のスポットレーザ溶接に用いるレーザ光の波長は0.19μm~10.6μmであるとよい。
