Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of bonding wires, in particular to a preparation method of a copper bonding wire doped with graphene. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important packaging material, the bonding wire has high precision requirements for various indexes. The final forming of the bonding wire is mostly casting forming, and the existing bonding wire is mostly a homogeneous structure of a single alloy. When stretched, the surface of the bonding wire may be cracked due to uneven stress.

[0003] There are two solutions to solve the micro-cracks generated in the forming process of the bonding wire. One is to reduce the number of cold drawing to reduce the probability of micro-cracks; and the other is to remedy after forming, such as plating or tempering. The Chinese patent CN 114086021 A discloses a rapid directional casting method of a bonding wire. The method adopts the process of reducing the number of multi-stage cold drawing to achieve the purpose of rapid forming. However, the method cannot use the traditional bonding wire forming equipment, the premise investment cost is high, and a new process needs to be explored. The Chinese patent CN 110164776 A discloses a manufacturing method of a protective plating layer of a bonding wire. The method realizes the densification of the original wire after cold drawing by adopting laser-induced deposition coating after the original wire is drawn from 450-550 mu m to 10-50 mu m. However, the above-mentioned methods for solving the micro-cracks of the bonding wire are all surface treatment of the bonding wire, and cannot solve the problem that the friction between the internal components of the bonding wire is too large to cause micro-cracks. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the above problems, the application provides a preparation method of a copper bonding wire doped with graphene, which comprises the following steps: 1) the elements of the copper bonding wire are weighed according to the proportioning of each element, mixed, ground, and screened to obtain a mixed metal powder, and then the mixed metal powder is fully mixed with graphene oxide to obtain a molten mixed powder; 2) the molten mixed powder obtained in step 1) is melted to prepare a copper alloy ingot with a fixed size, and the copper alloy ingot is subjected to rough drawing, medium drawing and fine drawing to prepare a semi-finished wire with a diameter of 0.1-0.2 mm; 3) the semi-finished wire obtained in step 2) is heated and washed in a water solution of a reducing agent, dried, and then fine-drawn to 0.07-0.15 mm, and then heated and washed in a water solution of a reducing agent, dried, and then fine-drawn to 0.03-0.1 mm, and finally heated and washed in a water solution of a reducing agent, and dried; 4) the fine wire obtained in step 3) is annealed at 200-350 DEG C under nitrogen protection, washed with water and dried, and the copper bonding wire doped with graphene is obtained.

[0005] Specifically, in step 1), the fineness of the screen filtration is 400-1000 meshes, and the weight percentage of the graphene oxide in the melt mixed powder is 0.5%-2%; in step 3), the reducing agent is selected from one of sodium citrate, vitamin C or hydrazine hydrate, and the mass concentration of the aqueous solution is 3%-10%.

[0006] The present application first mixes and refines each component of the copper bonding wire with graphene oxide, then melts the mixed powder to prepare a copper alloy ingot, and then repeatedly immerses the copper alloy ingot in an aqueous solution of a reducing agent after multi-stage refinement and stretching, so as to reduce the graphene oxide on the surface into graphene. The self-lubricating property of the graphene increases the lubricity during stretching and reduces micro-cracks generated in the internal of the fine wire during cold drawing, thereby preparing a copper bonding wire with stronger mechanical properties.
