- Depth analysis by AES is a method of analyzing changes in the composition in the depth direction by alternately performing composition analysis and sputtering, and it is used to analyze changes in the concentration of each element in the depth (center) direction from the wire surface (so-called depth analysis). (concentration profile in the horizontal direction) can be obtained.
- a bonding wire to be used for measurement was fixed in a straight line to a sample holder. Then, after performing 1) compositional analysis of the wire surface using AES, a concentration profile in the depth direction was obtained by repeating 2) sputtering with Ar and 3) compositional analysis of the surface after sputtering. The sputtering in 2) was performed using Ar + ions and an accelerating voltage of 2 kV.

It was determined. The length of the measurement surface was five times the width of the measurement surface. Then, using an AES device (PHI-700 manufactured by ULVAC-PHI), the composition of the wire surface was analyzed at an acceleration voltage of 10 kV, and the concentration (atomic %) was calculated.

Furthermore, the analysis software (PHI MultiPak) installed in the AES device was used to analyze the Auger electron spectrum and calculate the concentration. In order to improve the accuracy of analysis, LLS processing was performed as necessary.

That is, in analyzing the target sample, Auger electron spectra were obtained using pure Cu and pure Ni, and LLS processing was performed using the spectra as data of the elemental reference sample. In addition, if the target sample contains a region containing Cu but not Ni (Cu-containing region) and a region containing Ni but not Cu (Ni-containing region), the Cu Using the Auger electron spectra of the Ni-containing part and the Ni-containing part as data of the element reference sample, LLS processing was performed in the concentration analysis of Ni element and Cu element.
- LLS processing was performed on target samples containing Au or Pt in order to reduce background noise. At that time, LLS processing was performed based on the waveform of the Auger electron spectrum near the above-mentioned peak energy value of Au or Pt among the Auger electron spectra.

- Crystal analysis of wire surface using backscattered electron diffraction (EBSD) method Crystal analysis of the wire surface was performed using the EBSD method using the wire surface as the measurement surface.
- a bonding wire to be used for measurement was fixed in a straight line to a sample holder.

- the measurement surface was determined so that Then, measurement was performed using an EBSD measurement device (SU-70 manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies) at a measurement magnification of 15,000 times and a measurement point interval of 0.03 ⁇ m.
- the accelerating voltage was optimized within the range of 15 to 30 kV depending on the surface condition of the sample.

Boundaries where the orientation difference between points is 5 degrees or more are regarded as grain boundaries, and the lower limit number of pixels or number of pixels to be recognized as grains (corresponds to the Minimum size of the Grain Size item in the settings of the software that comes with the device).
- the average size of the crystal grains in the wire circumferential direction that is, the width (nm) of the crystal grains, was determined by setting a value between 2 and 5. In the analysis, crystal data of the element with the highest average concentration in the coating layer was used.
- the content of the first additive element, second additive element, and third additive element in the wire is determined by analyzing a solution in which the bonding wire is dissolved in strong acid using an ICP emission spectrometer and an ICP mass spectrometer.

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などの外部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。
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)を得ることができる。
また、AES装置に装備されている解析ソフトウェア(PHI MultiPak)を使用して、オージェ電子スペクトルの解析、濃度の算出を行った。分析の精度を向上するため、必要に応じてLLS処理を実施した。詳細には、CuとNiの両方を含有する部位を有する対象試料(ワイヤ)に関しては、CuとNiのピークを分離する際にLLS処理を実施した。すなわち、対象試料の分析を行うにあたり、純Cuと純Niを用いてオージェ電子スペクトルを取得して、そのスペクトルを元素の基準試料のデータとして用いてLLS処理を実施した。また、対象試料に、Cuは含有するがNiを含有しない部位(Cu含有部)とNiは含有するがCuを含有しない部位(Ni含有部)がそれぞれ分離して存在する場合には、該Cu含有部、Ni含有部のオージェ電子スペクトルを元素の基準試料のデータとして用いて、Ni元素、Cu元素の濃度解析においてLLS処理を実施した。また、AuまたはPtを含有する対象試料に関して、バックグランドノイズを低減するためにLLS処理を実施した。その際、オージェ電子スペクトルのうち、AuまたはPtの上記ピークエネルギー値近傍のオージェ電子スペクトルの波形を基準に、LLS処理を行った。
AESにより、深さ方向の濃度プロファイルを取得するにあたり、深さ方向の測定点が、領域d0-10において10点以上20点以下になるように測定した。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。斯かるSiO2換算値を基準として測定点間隔が等しくなるように設定した。
そして取得した深さ方向の濃度プロファイルにおいて、Pdの濃度CPd(原子%)に着目して、ワイヤ表面位置から、10nmの深さ位置までの領域(すなわち、領域d0-10)の全測定点に関するCPdの値を算術平均することで領域d0-10におけるPdの平均濃度を求めた。Pt、Au、Ni、Agの各元素の平均濃度も、上記と同様に、領域d0-10の全測定点に関する各元素の濃度値を算術平均することで求めた。
領域d0-10における各元素の平均濃度は、3箇所の測定面について取得した数値の算術平均値を採用した。
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Z0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Z1を、測定された被覆層の厚さとして求めた。被覆層の厚さは、3箇所の測定面について取得した数値の算術平均値を採用した。また、実施例のワイヤに関して、被覆層の測定点の総数は50点~100点あることを確認した。
ワイヤ表面の結晶解析は、ワイヤの表面を測定面として、EBSD法により行った。
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(ワイヤ円周方向)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7μm、測定面の長さが15μmとなるように測定面を決定した。そして、EBSD測定装置(日立ハイテクノロジーズ社製SU-70)を用いて、測定倍率15,000倍、測定点間隔0.03μmにて測定した。測定に際して、加速電圧は、試料の表面状態に応じて15~30kVの範囲で適正化した。次いで、EBSD測定装置に付属の解析ソフト(TSLソリューションズ社製OIM analysis)を使用してCI値(信頼性指数、Confidence Index)が0.1未満である測定点を除いて解析し、隣接する測定点間の方位差が5度以上である境界を結晶粒界とみなして、結晶粒として認識する下限ピクセル数または画素数(装置附属ソフトの設定では、Grain Sizeの項目のMinimum sizeに相当)を2~5の値で設定して、結晶粒のワイヤ円周方向の平均サイズ、すなわち結晶粒の幅(nm)を求めた。解析に際しては、被覆層において平均濃度が最も高い元素の結晶データを使用した。
上記と同様にして、測定に供するボンディングワイヤを試料ホルダーに固定し、測定面を決定した上で、測定面の結晶方位を観察し、ワイヤ長手方向の結晶方位のうち、ワイヤ長手方向に対して角度差が15度以下である<111>結晶方位の割合を求めた。
なお、EBSD法による結晶方位の測定は、ワイヤ長手方向に互いに1mm以上離間した3箇所の測定面について実施し、その平均値を採用した。
ワイヤ中の第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。
リードフレームのリード部分に、市販のワイヤボンダーを用いてウェッジ接合し、2nd接合部の形状安定性評価用のサンプルを作製した。リードフレームには、1~3μmのAgめっきを施したFe-42原子%Ni合金リードフレームを用い、ステージ温度200℃、N2+5%H2ガス0.5L/分流通下にボンディングを行った。
2nd接合部の接合形状については、2nd接合部の形状安定性評価用のサンプルにおいて無作為に選択した2000箇所の2nd接合部を観察し、フィッシュテール形状の対称性を評価した。詳細には、フィッシュテール形状がワイヤの軸に対し非対称であったり、めくれが生じていたりする箇所を不良箇所としてカウントし、以下の基準に従って、評価した。
