Definitions
- the present invention relates to a plate-like bonding material in which the heat-resistant temperature after bonding is higher than the bonding temperature by utilizing a solid phase diffusion reaction of silver, a bonding method using the same, and a power semiconductor device.
- next-generation devices power semiconductor elements based on silicon carbide (SiC) or gallium nitride (GaN) are being actively developed as next-generation devices. These are operated with a large current and have an operating temperature of 175 ° C. or higher, and are said to be 300 ° C. in the future. At that time, when the bonding material itself is melted and bonded like solder, it is necessary to bond at a temperature higher than the heat-resistant temperature of the bonded portion, and of course, the options of the bonding material itself are limited, and the bonding target is also limited. There were restrictions to prevent deterioration.
- a bonding material for example, see Patent Document 1 in which nano or micro size metal particles called a sinterable metal or metal paste are blended with an organic solvent has been attracting attention.
- the organic component covering the surface of the metal particles is decomposed by heat, so that the metal particles are sintered to form a bonded portion, and the heat resistance temperature after sintering (bonding) is integrated.
- the temperature is about the same as the melting point of the metal (for example, 960 ° C. in the case of silver).
- the organic solvent decomposes at about 200 to 300 ° C., so that it can be joined at a temperature that does not degrade the object to be joined, and high heat resistance can be achieved after joining.
- the metal sintered body has an elastic modulus lower than that of an integral metal because it has voids. Nevertheless, since the elastic modulus is still higher than that of conventional solder or the like, the stress relaxation property in the heat cycle is lowered, and it is difficult to maintain the bonding strength for a long period of time. Therefore, a technique has been proposed in which a filler having a lubricity or a resin filler having a lower elastic modulus than metal particles is mixed in the bonding material to relieve stress (for example, see Patent Document 2 or 3).

Became “ ⁇ ” at 1.4 mm or less.
- the annealing temperature In the case of 140 ° C. (Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 6) where the annealing temperature is lower than 150 ° C., the softening due to the refinement of the structure of the Ag—Bi alloy does not proceed and the stress relaxation property is low, so It has progressed more than 4mm and became "x".

- the annealing temperature is 300 ° C., which is the upper limit of the temperature range
- holding for 120 hours exceeding the time range described above results in low stress relaxation and a crack progressing by 1.4 mm or more, indicating “x”.
- the crystal grains of bismuth are coarsened by heat rather than the fine dispersion effect and function to suppress the grain boundary sliding.
- the temperature is lower than 300 ° C. in the temperature range, it has been confirmed that the heat cycle resistance against cracking is “O” until the holding time is 100 hrs. It is unclear whether a fine dispersion effect can be seen.
- the joining atmosphere, joining temperature, pressurization, and holding time are mainly parameters.
- a formic acid reducing atmosphere is used as the bonding atmosphere, but a hydrogen reducing atmosphere may be used.
- the bonding temperature may be any temperature that promotes the solid phase diffusion reaction between the metal covering the bonding surface to be bonded and the Ag—Bi alloy, and is 300 ° C. in the parameter test, but in the range of 250 to 300 ° C. If there is, the same effect can be obtained. If the bonding temperature is set to a temperature lower than 250 ° C., the solid phase diffusion reaction with the bonding surface does not proceed, so that a good bonding portion cannot be obtained. Even when the temperature is set lower than 250 ° C., the diffusion proceeds if the holding time is lengthened. However, it is considered that it cannot be applied practically in view of the mass production process.
- the bonding temperature is set to a temperature higher than 300 ° C.
- the copper constituting the conductive layers 3a and 3b of the DBC substrate 3 is softened. Therefore, when the evaluation sample 10S is created at a bonding temperature higher than 300 ° C., the initial bonded portion is good, but when the heat cycle test is performed, the DBC substrate 3 is warped, the surface is wavy, and becomes uneven. Then, a crack occurs due to the warp of the DBC substrate 3 at the joint end, and it becomes impossible to follow the unevenness of the DBC substrate 3 inside the joint, and a crack in the vertical direction occurs with respect to the joint surface. Therefore, the bonding temperature is preferably 250 ° C. to 300 ° C.
- the bonding time may be a time during which a solid phase diffusion reaction occurs between the metal that covers the bonding surface to be bonded and the Ag—Bi alloy. In the above, the time is 10 min. ing. If the joining time is too long, the tact time in the mass production process is long and disadvantageous, so 5 to 10 min is optimal.
- the applied pressure depends on the flatness of the bonding surface
- the surface flatness Ra of the power semiconductor element 2 used in this evaluation is 50 nm or less
- the flatness Ra of the surface of the DBC substrate 3 used in the evaluation is used. All were 1 ⁇ m or less. With such flatness, good bonding can be obtained by pressing the Ag—Bi alloy foil 1F under a pressure of 10 to 30 MPa.
- the surface flatness Ra of the alloy foil 1F is 1 ⁇ m or less.
- the metal covering the bonding surface is a combination of any of gold, silver, and copper for both the power semiconductor element 2 and the DBC substrate 3, good bonding is obtained.
- tin has a melting point of about 230 ° C. and melts at a joining temperature of 250 to 300 ° C.
- silver diffuses into tin and a fine intermetallic compound (Ag 3 Sn) and a eutectic phase of tin and silver (Sn-3Ag (wt%)) having a melting point of 220 ° C. are formed, Since heat resistance is impaired, it is not preferable.
- a tin single phase having a low melting point, a eutectic phase of tin and silver, or a eutectic phase of tin and bismuth remains at the interface between Sn and the Ag—Bi alloy. It is necessary to heat enough so that there is no. And it is necessary to make all the interface parts be formed of at least an intermetallic compound of Ag 3 Sn and Ag 5 Sn.
- an Ag—Bi alloy is used for joining the power semiconductor element 2 and the DBC substrate 3 or joining the power semiconductor element 2 and the lead terminal 4.
- An example using the bonding material 1 was shown.
- the power semiconductor device 100 is not limited to the DBC substrate 3 and is usually provided with a heat sink under the circuit board, and the bonding material 1 of the present invention is also applied to the connection between the circuit board and the heat sink. It is possible to do.

- the wide band gap semiconductor element has high heat resistance, it can operate at a high temperature, and the heat sink fins can be downsized and the water cooling section can be air cooled. Therefore, the power semiconductor device 100 can be further downsized. Can be realized.
- the power semiconductor element 2 is mounted using the Ag—Bi alloy-based bonding material 1 described in the embodiment of the present invention, the heat dissipation characteristics and the electrical conductivity are excellent, and at the time of manufacturing and driving. Since a strong bond can be maintained even under a thermal cycle, a highly reliable power semiconductor device 100 can be obtained.
- the metal member to be bonded (for example, the surface layer 2f of the element electrode of the power semiconductor element 2 and the surface layer of the conductive layer 3a of the DBC substrate 3). 3f) is heated in contact with the metal member to form silver diffusion layers Ld2 and Ld3 by solid phase diffusion reaction in the metal member (for example, gold, silver, and copper as materials) and bonded to the metal member.

電力用半導体装置100は、図2に示すように、回路基板として、窒化ケイ素(Si3N4)製の基材3iの両面に銅(Cu)の導電層3a、3bが形成されたDBC基板3(Direct Bonded Copper)の回路面(導電層3a)側に、縦型の電力用半導体素子2A、2B(まとめて電力用半導体素子2)が実装されたものである。電力用半導体素子2A、2Bの表面電極には、配線部材であるリード端子4が銀を主体とした板状の接合材1を用いて接合されているとともに、裏面もDBC基板3に対して接合材1を用いて接合されている。そして、DBC基板3の裏面(導電層3b)側と、リード端子4の外部回路との接続端側を除き、全面が封止体5によって封止されてパッケージ化されたものである。
Gate Bipolar Transistor)やMOSFET(Metal Oxide
Semiconductor Field-Effect-Transistor)のようなスイッチング素子、またはダイオードのような整流素子がある。例えば、MOSFETの場合、電力用半導体素子2のDBC基板3側の面にはドレイン電極が形成されている。そして、ドレイン電極と反対側(図で上側)の面には、ゲート電極やソース電極が、領域を分けて形成されているが、説明を簡略化するため、上側の面は、主電力用のソース電極のみを記載して説明する。
合金中のビスマス含有率(wt%)が所望の含有率になるように、純度99.9wt%の粒状の銀と粉末状のビスマス(針状)をそれぞれ電子天秤で秤量して、石英ガラス製るつぼに入れ、大気中でガストーチまたは高周波誘導加熱装置で加熱・溶解した。炉全体を銀の融点以上に保持し、ビスマスがまんべんなく分散するように石英ガラス保護管で攪拌した後、冷却・凝固させて試料合金1Rを作成した。その後、図1(a)に示すように、試料合金1Rに圧延処理をおこない、厚さ:50~100μm、幅:40mmのAg―Bi合金薄片(合金箔1F)を作製した。
合金箔1Fを作成した際の圧延処理で、合金箔1Fの両端部に3mm以上の圧延割れが生じていなければ評価結果として「○」、圧延割れが生じていれば「×」とした。ビスマスの含有率を0.5wt%~7wt%までの間で変化させて6種の評価サンプル10S(実施例1~3、比較例1~3)を作成し、評価した。その評価結果を表1に示す。なお、合金箔1Fの作製方法については、シート成形方法、プレス成形、粉末焼成法などを適用でき、圧延処理に限定するものではない。
10S(実施例1~3、比較例1~2)を得た。
S=π×(L/2)^2 (1)
S:面積、L:ビスマスリッチな析出相の粒径
L=√(4×S/π) (2)
次に、アニール処理温度の最適値について検討した。ビスマス含有率が1~5wt%とした試料合金1Rを圧延して合金箔1Fとした後、アニール温度をパラメータとし、アニール時間は、上記と同じ48hrsに固定して、熱処理を行った。そして、上記と同様のプロセスで8種の評価サンプル10S(実施例4~7、比較例4~7)を作製し、ヒートサイクル後の断面観察により、クラック進展度を評価した。その評価結果を表2に示す。
次に、アニール処理時間の最適値について検討した。ビスマス含有率が1~5wt%とした試料合金1Rを圧延して合金箔1Fとした後、上述したアニール温度の上限値と下限値のそれぞれで、アニール時間をパラメータとして熱処理を行った。そして、上記と同様のプロセスで19種の評価サンプル10S(実施例8~19、比較例8~14)を作製し、ヒートサイクル後の断面観察により、クラック進展度を評価した。その評価結果を表3に示す。
