Problems solved by technology

Therefore, it is easily affected by the process conditions, and there are a large number of structures obtained by segregation and solidification of the eutectic structure of Sn and SnAg.
In addition, the primary crystals of Sn precipitated by segregation and solidification in a high-temperature environment are thermally deformed, which often causes damage.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0030] [First embodiment: Sn-Sb-Ag ternary system]

[0031] According to a first embodiment of the present invention, a soldering material containing 5.0% by mass to 8.0% by mass of Sb, 3.0% by mass to 5.0% by mass of Ag, and the balance consisting of Sn and unavoidable Alloys composed of impurities. Unavoidable impurities mainly refer to Cu, Ni, Zn, Fe, Al, As, Cd, Au, In, P, Pb, etc., but are not limited to them. The solder material of the present invention is a Pb-free lead-free solder alloy. By including Ag and Sb within the above-mentioned composition range in the solder material mainly composed of Sn, the high-temperature ductility becomes high. In addition, the solder material of this embodiment can secure relatively high wettability. When the amount of Ag added is less than 3.0% by mass, the ductility becomes large. This is because, Ag 3 The formation of the network structure of Sn and βSn is local, and the area of ​​βSn with the highest ductility increases, so th...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0035] [Second embodiment: Sn-Sb-Ag-Ni quaternary system]

[0036] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a soldering material contains 5.0% by mass to 8.0% by mass of Sb, 3.0% by mass to 5.0% by mass of Ag, and furthermore, 0.05% by mass to 0.3% by mass. A lead-free solder alloy that does not contain Pb and consists of Ni at most mass % and the balance Sn and unavoidable impurities. This is because the high-temperature ductility of the solder material can be further improved as an advantage of further adding Ni in the above-mentioned addition range to the composition of the first embodiment. In such a range of Ni addition amount, 0.1 mass % or more and 0.25 mass % or less are especially preferable. This is because wettability is most excellent in this range.

[0037] The elongation at break of the solder material of the second embodiment at 100° C. is about 55%. This value is 108% or more with respect to the elongation at break of the Sn-8.5Sb-2.5Ag solder ...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0040] [Third embodiment: Sn-Sb-Ag-Ni-Ge quinary system]

[0041] According to a third embodiment of the present invention, a soldering material containing 5.0 mass % to 8.0 mass % of Sb, 3.0 mass % to 5.0 mass % of Ag, 0.05 mass % to 0.3 mass % % or less Ni, further containing 0.003 mass % or more and 0.01 mass % or less Ge, and the balance is a Pb-free lead-free solder alloy composed of Sn and unavoidable impurities. This is because, as an advantage of further adding Ge in the above-mentioned range to the composition of the second embodiment, the high-temperature ductility of the alloy can be further improved. In addition, it is because the oxidation of Sb is suppressed, which significantly contributes to the improvement of the wettability of the solder. When more than 0.01% by mass, for example, about 0.02% by mass of Ge is contained, air voids that become bonding defects are easily formed. The amount of Ge added is more preferably not less than 0.003% by mass and not mor...

A soldering material containing 5.0% by mass to 8.0% by mass of Sb and 3.0% by mass to 5.0% by mass of Ag, with the remainder consisting of Sn and unavoidable impurities, and between a semiconductor element and a substrate electrode or A semiconductor device that includes a bonding layer obtained by melting a solder material between a semiconductor element and a lead frame.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to soldering materials. In particular, the present invention relates to a highly reliable solder material used for bonding in semiconductor devices. Background technique [0002] In recent years, due to environmental concerns, Pb-free solders that do not contain lead components have been gradually used instead of Sn—Pb-based solders. The most commonly used Pb-containing soldering material with Sn-Pb as the main component is a solid solution type material, and has a eutectic point (eutectic temperature) at Sn63wt.% and Pb37wt.%. As for the solid solution type material, since it is dissolved in the main material, the solidified structure is stable, and it is said that it is not easily affected by process conditions (heating, cooling), etc. As a soldering material for semiconductor devices such as IGBT modules (power modules), among the currently known lead-free solders of various compositions, a large number of them are used espe...
