Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of bonding wires, and particularly relates to a high-corrosion-resistance and high-conductivity bonded thick copper wire and a production process thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pure copper wire has better conductive and heat conductive performances than aluminum wire, can effectively reduce temperature rise and improve current carrying capacity, and is the future development direction of chip miniaturization and large-current high-power transmission. However, copper has higher hardness than aluminum, is easy to be oxidized under high-temperature or high-humidity conditions, and the oxide has higher hardness, which brings challenges to wedge bonding process, is easy to cause damage (Cratering) to a chip pad, is easy to form unstable copper-aluminum intermetallic compound (IMC) at a copper-aluminum bonding interface compared with an aluminum-aluminum bonding interface, and needs strict atmosphere protection during storage and use.

[0003] In order to realize protection of the copper core material, current mainstream technologies mostly use oxygen-free copper as the core material, deposit a uniform palladium layer on the surface of the core material through electroplating or chemical plating, so as to avoid oxidation and other phenomena of the copper wire and inhibit the growth of copper-aluminum interface IMC; but after the coating is damaged, the original cell reaction is easy to occur between the palladium layer and the copper core, which further seriously aggravates the decline of product reliability and affects product use.

[0004] Under the condition of continuous power supply, hydrogen embrittlement caused by electroplating will cause pores or cracks in the wire and the plating layer; secondly, the core material will be oxidized and corroded under the condition of power supply, causing the formation of oxide film on the wire surface, so that the wire resistance sharply rises, affecting the conductivity and reliability of the wire.

[0005] Therefore, it is a technical problem to be solved in the field to develop a new thick copper bonding wire which has high current carrying capacity, excellent heat dissipation performance, high reliability and good process compatibility. SUMMARY

[0006] The application aims to provide a preparation method of a high-corrosion-resistance and high-conductivity bonded thick copper wire.

[0007] The application provides a preparation method of a high-corrosion-resistance and high-conductivity bonded thick copper wire, which comprises the following steps:

[0008] S1. preparing micro-alloyed graphene copper;

[0009] S11. dispersing graphene raw material in water, and mixing Cu 2+The ion generation adsorption reaction is reduced by using a strong base to obtain a mixed powder material of copper and reduced graphene oxide, and the copper and the reduced graphene oxide form a molecular layer combination; the composite powder material is placed in a hydrogen reaction furnace to be reduced into a reduced graphene oxide copper powder material; the reduced graphene oxide copper powder material is pressed into a blank and placed in an SPS sintering furnace, protected by an argon atmosphere, and then heated to 900-1200°C at a rate of 90-300°C / min after a pressure of 100-1000kN is applied to the blank, and then the blank is sintered into a block and cooled to room temperature in the furnace to obtain a graphene copper alloy original ingot;

[0010] S12. The graphene copper alloy original ingot is mixed with a reinforcing metal material and pure copper in a certain proportion, and is smelted by electromagnetic induction heating to 1050-1250°C in an argon atmosphere, and then the smelted metal liquid is continuously cast into a mother rod with a diameter of 8mm after being stirred and mixed for 10s-15min;

[0011] S13. The mother rod is subjected to multi-pass wire drawing extension treatment until the diameter of the mother rod is 700-2000μm to obtain a micro-alloyed graphene copper mother copper wire;

[0012] S2. The micro-alloyed graphene copper mother copper wire is subjected to surface copper stripping treatment by using a direct current of 50-500mA / dm 2 , and a graphene enrichment layer is formed on the surface through the electric stripping treatment; and the treated mother copper wire is immediately subjected to surface passivation treatment by using a benzotriazole solution; and the treated mother copper wire is drawn to 75-500μm by using a multi-pass wire drawing method (the reduction rate between passes is 5-15%) to obtain a micro-alloyed graphene copper wire.

[0013] S3. The micro-alloyed graphene copper wire is subjected to annealing treatment at an annealing temperature of 250-600°C and an annealing time of 0.5-3.5h to obtain a high-corrosion-resistance high-conductivity bonding copper wire.

[0014] The diameter of the obtained high-corrosion-resistance high-conductivity bonding copper wire is 75-1000μm, and the high-corrosion-resistance high-conductivity bonding copper wire is made of a micro-alloyed graphene copper material, and the graphene is uniformly distributed in the micro-alloyed graphene copper material and can be applied to wedge bonding.

[0015] Further, the graphene can be one or more combinations selected from the following forms: single-layer or few-layer graphene oxide (Graphene Oxide), single-layer or few-layer reduced graphene oxide (rGO).

[0016] In the micro-alloyed graphene copper material, the proportion of graphene is 100-8000ppm, and the proportion of the reinforcing metal material is 0-5000ppm; and the reinforcing metal material is any one or more of Ag, Pd, Au, Pt, Li, P, Ca, Ni, Be, Y, La, Ce, Zr, In, Ge, and Sc.

[0017] Preferably, the micro-alloyed graphene copper contains 500-3000 ppm graphene and 0-3000 ppm reinforcing metal material; the reinforcing metal material is any one or more of Au, Pd, In, P, Ni, Ca, Li, Sc; wherein Au, Pd, Ni, In have an anticorrosion effect, Li and P mainly have an oxygen removal effect, and Ca mainly modifies the spherical shape; rare earth elements can have an anticorrosion effect.

[0021] The core material is improved by adding graphene oxide to the core layer, and then calcining the core material; in this way, the metal covalent bonds formed between graphene and the copper base material are uniformly distributed, thereby greatly improving the corrosion potential of the core material and reducing the corrosion current and halogen corrosion weight loss; and because the metal covalent bonds formed between graphene oxide and the copper base material are uniformly distributed, the copper core has good heat dissipation performance and high-temperature electrical conductivity, so that the electrical conductivity of the bonding wire prepared by the application is more than 30% higher than that of traditional oxygen-free copper at 150 DEG C; graphene itself has extremely high heat dissipation performance, can accelerate heat conduction, avoid the accumulation of heat in the bonding wire, and further improve the high-temperature reliability of the product; and because of the addition of graphene, the grain structure in the copper core is improved, which can effectively inhibit the growth of intermetallic compounds and improve the working performance of the bonding wire.

[0022] By taking advantage of the difference in reaction potential between graphene oxide and copper, the copper on the surface that does not form a molecular bond with graphene is subjected to electrostripping treatment, a graphene enrichment layer is formed on the surface of the wire, and benzene propyl triazole passivation treatment is performed to improve the corrosion resistance of the wire; and the bonding wire is further annealed to eliminate processing stress, recombine grains, and improve the use performance of the bonding wire.
