Abstract:
A wire bonding method for joining a metal wire with a bonding pad disposed on a semiconductor element by using a load and supersonic wave vibration, comprising: during interval of time from contact of the metal wire with the bonding pad to application of the supersonic wave vibration, continuously applying a first bonding load and a second bonding load which is lower than the first bonding load; and after application of the supersonic wave vibration, continuously applying a third bonding load of a size of about 50% of the load of the second bonding load and a fourth bonding load which is lower than the first bonding load and higher than the third bonding load. The reliability of the fine wire bonding joint is improved remarkably, whereby a high quality semiconductor device cna be produced at a low cost.
Abstract:
There is provided a technology capable of suppressing the damage applied to a pad. When the divergence angle of an inner chamfer part is smaller than 90 degrees, the ultrasonic conversion load in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the pad is very small in magnitude. In other words, the ultrasonic conversion load in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the pad is sufficiently smaller in magnitude than the ultrasonic conversion load in a direction in parallel with the surface of the pad. Consequently, when the divergence angle of the inner chamfer part is smaller than 90 degrees, the ultrasonic conversion load in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the pad can be sufficiently reduced in magnitude, which can prevent pad peeling.
Abstract:
Height control of a capillary is performed in a stitch bonding (2nd bond) in a wire bonding, so that a thickness of a stitch portion can be controlled, thereby ensuring a bonding strength at the stitch portion and achieving an improvement in a bonding reliability. Also, the stitch portion has a thick portion, and a wire and a part (α portion) of a bonding region of an inner lead is formed to a lower portion of the thick portion, thereby sufficiently ensuring a thickness of the stitch portion and a bonding region.

Abstract:
A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor chip, a die pad, an adhesive, metal wires, LOC inner leads, and standard inner leads sealed within a sealing resin. The LOC inner leads and the standard inner leads are arranged in the same plane and both are arranged along one side of the semiconductor chip. Clearance between the inner leads and the die pad larger than the total thickness of the semiconductor chip and the bonding material. Thus, a semiconductor chip having electrode pads broadly distributed can be employed and the section modulus of the semiconductor package can be increased.
