- Ni--Pd nickel-palladium
- Cu etc. are mainly used for the material of the electrodes on the semiconductor chip. is increasingly difficult.
- improvement of bondability is required.
- Al wiring materials are required to improve the initial bondability and the bonding reliability of the joints in a high-temperature environment.
- an Al wiring material is bonded to an electrode on a semiconductor chip, and it is important to increase the bonding strength of the bonding portion between the Al wiring material and the electrode.
- joint strength measured by a shear test in which the joint is sheared and broken hereinafter referred to as "shear strength" is generally used.
- shear strength measured by shearing the joint is effective as an index of the apparent joint strength. It is difficult to accurately grasp the intensity.
- the inventors investigated the relationship between bonding behavior and delamination failure, and found that one of the causes of delamination failure was the presence of an area with insufficient bonding at the interface of the joint. That is, in the case where peeling failure occurs, when observing the fracture surface on the electrode side after the shear test, it is found that there is an unbonded area (hereinafter also referred to as "hollow hole") in which metal bonding is not obtained in part of the bonded portion. It was found that the frequency of occurrence of In addition to being a factor in reducing productivity, an increase in voids in the joint may cause cracks starting from the unbonded area due to temperature changes during operation of the semiconductor device, and if it progresses further, the joint may be damaged.

This is a test in which rapid heating and cooling are repeated by repeating ON/OFF of the voltage. Repetition of rapid heating and cooling poses a problem that the bonding strength at the bonding portion of the Al wiring material decreases, and defects such as cracks and peeling occur near the bonding interface. For example, regarding durability in a power cycle test, under severe conditions exceeding 10,000 cycles, failures such as cracks and peeling occur at joints of Al wiring materials, which hinders the practical use of power devices.

It is useful for improving the function, quality, reliability, etc. of devices.

It is required to improve the joint reliability of the joint (hereinafter also referred to as “high-temperature reliability of the joint”) at the same time. Regarding the bondability, it is important to reduce the unbonded area (“hollow”) at the bond in addition to increasing the shear strength.
