Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor device packaging, and in particular to a power semiconductor device packaging sintering evaluation method and system. Background Art

[0002] Power semiconductor devices play a vital role in modern power electronic systems. In their packaging process, the sintering process is a key link, which directly affects the electrical performance, reliability and thermal performance of the device. In the sintering process, sintering time is one of the key factors affecting the sintering quality. The appropriate sintering time can ensure a good connection between the chip and the substrate, and ensure the electrical performance, thermal performance and reliability of the device. However, there is currently a lack of accurate and efficient evaluation methods based on sintering time judgment, and it is difficult to determine whether the actual sintering time is within the optimal range. At the same time, it is difficult to accurately judge whether the sintering quality meets the requirements, which may lead to unstable device quality or failure of power semiconductor devices during use, reducing the service life and reliability of the product.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN114324427B discloses a power semiconductor device package sintering evaluation method, including: preparing a sample to be evaluated, wherein the sample to be evaluated includes a metal layer and a solder layer and a chip sequentially arranged on the metal layer; sintering the sample to be evaluated to obtain a sintered sample; performing a morphology analysis on the sintered sample according to a morphology analysis tool; performing a component analysis on the sintered sample after the morphology analysis according to a component analysis tool to obtain a component analysis result; and obtaining an evaluation result of the sample to be evaluated according to the component analysis result. The power semiconductor device package sintering evaluation method of this technical solution realizes the evaluation of the reliability of the sintering process from both microscopic and macroscopic aspects, and can ensure the reliability of the final sintering result.

[0004] The above existing technologies all have the following problems: they are mainly evaluated from the two aspects of microscopic morphology and macroscopic composition, and lack the monitoring and analysis of key parameters such as temperature and time during the sintering process; the morphology and composition analysis is carried out after the sintering is completed, which is a post-evaluation and lacks real-time and dynamic characteristics; the evaluation standards are not clear enough and lack comprehensive evaluation. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention proposes a power semiconductor device package sintering evaluation method and system. During sintering, data is recorded at preset intervals with the help of a temperature sensor and a time recorder in the furnace to form a temperature-time curve. After sintering, the device is first scanned by X-rays, and if there are stratification and large-sized void defects, it is marked as unqualified. If there are no defects, the starting and completion temperatures of the solid-phase reaction and the corresponding time points are determined according to the curve, and the effective sintering time is calculated. The qualification is determined in combination with the device model and the standard range set by the packaging process requirements. If the sintering time is unqualified, the device is tested for electrical and thermal properties, and a deviation threshold is set. When the electrical and thermal properties are normal and the sintering time meets the conditions, the package sintering is determined to be qualified, otherwise it is unqualified. This method is based on multi-dimensional detection and analysis, comprehensively evaluates the package sintering quality of power semiconductor devices, and improves the reliability and performance of the devices.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present invention provides: a power semiconductor device package sintering evaluation method, comprising the following steps:

[0058] Step S1: During the sintering process, the temperature value and the corresponding time point are recorded at preset time intervals by a temperature sensor and a time recorder installed in the device packaging sintering furnace to form temperature-time curve data;

[0059] Among them, the temperature-time curve data can be expressed as , Indicates at a point in time The temperature value recorded at the time.

[0060] Furthermore, the specific steps of step S1 include:

[0061] (1) Clearly identify the installation location:

[0062] According to the measurement requirements, select the core environment point to install the temperature sensor to avoid the direct influence of strong electromagnetic interference sources and heat sources to ensure the measurement accuracy. At the same time, consider the sensor protection level to ensure that the installation location meets the safety requirements;

[0063] (2) Prepare installation tools and materials:

[0064] Including screwdrivers, wrenches, sealing washers, fixing screws and necessary mounting brackets. Check that the sensor has no damage on the outside, the cables are intact, and ensure that all parts are complete;

[0065] (3) Perform a pre-installation inspection:

[0066] Confirm that the sensor model matches the required measurement range, check whether the power supply voltage meets the requirements, and confirm whether the communication protocol between the sensor and the receiving device is consistent;

[0067] (4) Perform installation operations:

[0068] According to the sensor type, such as thermocouple and thermal resistor, choose the threaded connection installation method, use tools to fix the sensor in the predetermined position, and ensure that the tightening torque is appropriate. At the same time, pay attention to the direction and fixation of the cable to avoid mechanical damage and signal interference;

[0071] (6) Start recording:

[0072] Start the sintering furnace and start the sintering process. At the same time, the temperature sensor and the time recorder start working to record the temperature value and the corresponding time point at a preset time interval. For example, the time recorder sends a signal to the temperature sensor every second, and the temperature sensor immediately measures the temperature in the current sintering furnace. The measured temperature value and the corresponding time point are packaged into a data recording unit. This unit can be a data structure containing two fields, time and temperature, such as an array [time value, temperature value];

[0073] (7) Stop data recording:

[0074] When the sintering process is finished and the temperature of the sintering furnace drops to a safe temperature, such as below 100°C, the data recording function of the temperature sensor and the time recorder is stopped.

[0075] Step S2: After sintering is completed, the device is preliminarily scanned using an X-ray detection device to check whether there are delamination and large-sized void defects. If there are no defects, the device is marked as sintered qualified;

[0076] Furthermore, the specific steps of step S2 include:

[0077] (1) Select X-ray detection equipment with appropriate performance and resolution to ensure that it meets the detection requirements, and calibrate and maintain the X-ray detection equipment to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the equipment. At the same time, check whether the power supply, interface, sensor and other components of the equipment are intact to ensure that the equipment can work normally;

[0082] (6) Evaluate the sintering quality of the device based on the analysis results. If the device has defects that affect performance, the device is marked as sintering failure, and the unqualified devices are recorded and appropriate treatment measures are taken, such as rework, scrapping, etc. If the device does not have defects that affect performance, the process ends.

[0083] Step S3: If there are defects, determine the solid phase reaction starting temperature and the sintering completion temperature from the collected temperature-time curve data, and determine the time point when the temperature reaches the solid phase reaction starting temperature and the sintering completion temperature according to the solid phase reaction starting temperature and the sintering completion temperature, and calculate the effective sintering time;

[0085] Furthermore, the specific steps of step S4 include:

[0086] (1) Obtain the model of the power semiconductor device from the product specification or technical documentation, and find the corresponding packaging process requirements based on the model, including sintering temperature, sintering atmosphere, and sintering pressure parameters;

[0087] (2) Setting a standard effective sintering time range for a specific type of power semiconductor device based on packaging process requirements and industry experience;

[0088] (3) obtaining the calculated effective sintering time in step S2, and comparing the calculated actual effective sintering time with the set standard effective sintering time range;

[0089] (4) If the actual sintering time falls within the standard range, it is judged as qualified; otherwise, it is judged as unqualified.

[0090] Step S5: If the device sintering time is unqualified, the device is subjected to electrical and thermal performance tests, and a deviation threshold is set. If the electrical and thermal performance test results are both within the normal range, and the sintering time is within the qualified interval or exceeds but is less than the deviation threshold, the power semiconductor device is ultimately determined to be qualified for sintering. If the electrical or thermal performance test results are abnormal, and the sintering time is not within the qualified interval, the device is determined to be unqualified for sintering.
