以下、本発明のワイヤがさらに満たすことが好適な条件について説明する。
本発明の半導体装置用ボンディングワイヤの製造方法の一例について説明する。
本発明の半導体装置用ボンディングワイヤを用いて、半導体チップ上の電極と、リードフレームや回路基板上の電極とを接続することによって、半導体装置を製造することができる。
まずサンプルの作製方法について説明する。Cu芯材の原材料となるCuは、純度が99.99質量%以上(4N)で残部が不可避不純物から構成されるものを用いた。また、第1添加元素、第2添加元素、第3添加元素を添加する場合、これらは純度が99質量%以上で残部が不可避不純物から構成されるもの、あるいはCuにこれら添加元素が高濃度で配合された母合金を用いた。
以下、試験・評価方法について説明する。
ワイヤ表面におけるAuの濃度は、ワイヤ表面を測定面として、以下のとおりオージェ電子分光法(AES)により測定して求めた。
まず測定に供するボンディングワイヤを試料ホルダーに直線状に固定した。次いで、ワイヤ軸に垂直な方向におけるワイヤの幅の中心が測定面の幅の中心となるように位置決めし、かつ、測定面の幅がワイヤ直径の5%以上15%以下となるように測定面を決定した。測定面の長さは測定面の幅の5倍とした。そして、AES装置(アルバック・ファイ製PHI-700)を用いて、加速電圧10kVの条件にてワイヤ表面の組成分析を行い、表面Au濃度(原子%)を求めた。
なお、AESによる組成分析は、ワイヤ軸方向に互いに1mm以上離間した3箇所の測定面について実施し、その算術平均値を採用した。表面におけるAuの濃度を求めるにあたり、炭素(C)、硫黄(S)、酸素(O)、窒素(N)等ガス成分、非金属元素等は考慮しなかった。
被覆層の厚さ分析にはAESによる深さ分析を用いた。AESによる深さ分析とは組成分析とスパッタリングを交互に行うことで深さ方向の組成の変化を分析するものであり、ワイヤ表面から深さ(中心)方向の各元素の濃度変化(所謂、深さ方向の濃度プロファイル)を得ることが出来る。
具体的には、AESにより、1)ワイヤ表面の組成分析を行った後、さらに2)Arによるスパッタリングと3)スパッタリング後の表面の組成分析とを繰り返すことで深さ方向の濃度プロファイルを取得した。2)のスパッタリングは、Ar+イオン、加速電圧2kVにて行った。また、1)、3)の表面の組成分析において、測定面の寸法やAESによる組成分析の条件は、上記[オージェ電子分光法(AES)によるワイヤ表面の組成分析]欄で説明したものと同じとした。
なお、深さ方向の濃度プロファイルの取得は、ワイヤ軸方向に互いに1mm以上離間した3箇所の測定面について実施した。
取得した深さ方向の濃度プロファイルにおいて、ワイヤ表面からワイヤ中心側に向けて濃度プロファイルを確認し、ワイヤ表面位置から、芯材であるCuの濃度が50原子%にはじめて達した深さ位置までの距離を、測定された被覆層の厚さとして求めた。3箇所の測定面について取得した数値の算術平均値を被覆層の厚さとして採用した。
なお、AES分析にて測定される深さは、スパッタリング速度と時間の積として求められる。一般にスパッタリング速度は標準試料であるSiO2を使用して測定されるため、AESで分析された深さはSiO2換算値となる。つまり被覆層の厚さの単位にはSiO2換算値を用いた。
取得した深さ方向の濃度プロファイルにおいて、Niの濃度の増減に着目して、Niの濃度が最大となる位置から、それらの最大濃度を求めた。3箇所の測定面について取得した数値の算術平均値をNiの最大濃度として採用した。
なお、実施例のワイヤに関して、芯材側にNiを主成分とする領域を有すること、ワイヤ表面側にAuとNiを含む領域を有すること、Niの最大濃度が80原子%以上であること、また、Auの最大濃度を示す位置がNiの最大濃度を示す位置よりも表面側にあることを確認した。被覆層がPdを含む領域を有する実施例のワイヤに関しては、Pdの最大濃度を示す位置がNiの最大濃度を示す位置よりも表面側にあること、また、Pdの最大濃度を示す位置がAuの最大濃度を示す位置とNiの最大濃度を示す位置との間にあることを確認した。
ワイヤ中のAu、Ni、Pd、第1添加元素、第2添加元素、第3添加元素の含有量は、ボンディングワイヤを強酸で溶解した液をICP発光分光分析装置、ICP質量分析装置を用いて分析し、ワイヤ全体に含まれる元素の濃度として検出した。分析装置として、ICP-OES((株)日立ハイテクサイエンス製「PS3520UVDDII」)又はICP-MS(アジレント・テクノロジーズ(株)製「Agilent 7700x ICP-MS」)を用いた。なお、Ni、Au、Pdの合計濃度CM(質量%)は、Ni、Au、Pdの各濃度を合計することにより算出した。
FAB形状の評価は、リードフレームに、市販のワイヤボンダーを用いてFABを作製し、走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)で観察した(評価数N=100)。なお、FABは電流値30~75mA、EFOのギャップを762μm、テイルの長さを254μmに設定し、N2+5%H2ガスを流量0.4~0.6L/分で流しながら形成し、その径はワイヤ線径に対して1.5~1.9倍の範囲とした。FAB形状の判定は、真球状のものを良好と判定し、偏芯、異形、溶融不良があれば不良と判定した。そして、以下の基準に従って、評価した。
