The surface of the terminal portion 132 may be plated with, for example, tin (Sn).
[0021] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, 6, and 10, the fourth lead 14 is spaced apart from the first lead 11, the second lead 12, and the third lead 13 and is located on the y1 side of the third lead 13 in the third direction y. The fourth lead 14 is electrically connected to the semiconductor element 30 via a wire 43. The fourth lead 14 has a wire pad portion 141 and a terminal portion 142.

[0022] As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 8 to 12, the semiconductor element 30 is mounted on the first main surface 111A of the die pad portion 111. In the semiconductor device A10, the specific configuration of the semiconductor element 30 is not limited in any way. In this embodiment, the semiconductor element 30 is a switching element, for example, an n-channel, vertical-structure metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). The semiconductor element 30 is not limited to a MOSFET. The semiconductor element 30 may be another transistor, such as an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). Furthermore, the semiconductor element 30 may be an LSI (large-scale integration) or a diode. The semiconductor element 30 has a semiconductor layer 35, a first electrode 31, a second electrode 32, a third electrode 33, and a fourth electrode 34. The thickness of the semiconductor element 30 in the first direction z is, for example, not less than 100 μm and not more than 1000 μm.
[0023] The semiconductor layer 35 includes a compound semiconductor substrate. The main material of the compound semiconductor substrate is silicon carbide (SiC). Alternatively, silicon (Si) may be used as the main material of the compound semiconductor substrate.
[0024] The first electrode 31 is disposed on a portion of the semiconductor layer 35 on the z1 side in the first direction z. A current corresponding to the power converted by the semiconductor element 30 flows through the first electrode 31. In this embodiment, the first electrode 31 is a source electrode.
[0025] The second electrode 32 is disposed on a portion of the semiconductor layer 35 on the z1 side in the first direction z. The second electrode 32 is located away from the first electrode 31. A voltage for driving the semiconductor element 30 is applied to the second electrode 32. In this embodiment, the third electrode 33 is a gate electrode. When viewed along the first direction z, the area of the second electrode 32 is smaller than the area of the first electrode 31.
[0026] The third electrode 33 is disposed on a portion of the semiconductor layer 35 on the z1 side in the first direction z. The third electrode 33 is located away from the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32. In this embodiment, the third electrode 33 is electrically connected to the first electrode 31 and is a so-called source sense electrode. When viewed along the first direction z, the area of the third electrode 33 is smaller than the area of the first electrode 31. The third electrode 33 may be connected to the second electrode 32.
[0027] The fourth electrode 34 is disposed on a portion of the semiconductor layer 35 on the z2 side in the first direction z. A current corresponding to the power before being converted by the semiconductor element 30 flows through the second electrode 32. In this embodiment, the second electrode 32 is a drain electrode. The fourth electrode 34 is conductively joined to the first main surface 111A via a joining sheet 60. The fourth electrode 34 may contain a metal such as Ag (silver) or Cu (copper), and may have a plating layer containing such a metal.
[0028] The first lead 11 is electrically connected to the fourth electrode 34 of the semiconductor element 30. Therefore, the terminal 112 is the drain terminal of the semiconductor device A10. The second lead 12 is electrically connected to the first electrode 31 of the semiconductor element 30. Therefore, the terminal 122 is the source terminal of the semiconductor device A10. The third lead 13 is electrically connected to the second electrode 32 of the semiconductor element 30. Therefore, the terminal 132 is the gate terminal of the semiconductor device A10. The fourth lead 14 is electrically connected to the third electrode 33 of the semiconductor element 30. Therefore, the terminal 142 is the source sense terminal of the semiconductor device A10. In the illustrated example, the distance in the third direction y between the terminals 112 and 122 is greater than both the distance in the third direction y between the terminals 122 and 132 and the distance in the third direction y between the terminals 132 and 142.
[0029] The bonding sheet 60 is interposed between the first main surface 111A and the fourth electrode 34. The bonding sheet 60 is bonded to both the first main surface 111A and the fourth electrode 34. The method for bonding the bonding sheet 60 to the first main surface 111A and the fourth electrode 34 is not limited, and examples include solid-state diffusion bonding and sintering bonding. The shape of the bonding sheet 60 is not limited, and in the illustrated example, it may be rectangular.
[0030] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 , the bonding sheet 60 has a first surface 61, a second surface 62, and a third surface 63. The first surface 61 faces a first side z1 in the first direction z, and at least a portion of the first surface 61 is bonded to the fourth electrode 34. The second surface 62 faces a second side z2 in the first direction z, and at least a portion of the second surface 62 is bonded to the first main surface 111A. The third surface 63 is located between the first surface 61 and the second surface 62 in the first direction and faces a direction intersecting the first direction z. In the illustrated example, the bonding sheet 60 has four third surfaces 63. Two third surfaces 63 face the second direction x, and the other two third surfaces 63 face the third direction y.
[0031] The first surface 61 includes a first region 611 and a second region 612. The second region 612 has a surface roughness greater than that of the first region 611. Indices of the surface roughness of the first region 611 and the second region 612 include, for example, the arithmetic mean height (Ra), maximum peak height (Rp), maximum peak height (Rv), maximum peak height (Rz), and root mean square height (Rq) specified in ISO 25178 and JIS B 0601-2001 (ISO 13565-1). For example, when the surface roughness of the first region 611 and the second region 612 is expressed as the arithmetic mean roughness (Ra), the surface roughness of the first region 611 is less than 0.1 μm, and the surface roughness of the second region 612 is 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less.
[0032] At least a portion of the first region 611 overlaps with the semiconductor element 30 when viewed in the first direction z. In the illustrated example, the entire semiconductor element 30 overlaps with the first region 611 when viewed in the first direction z. In addition, in the illustrated example, the first region 611 protrudes from the semiconductor element 30 when viewed in the first direction z.
[0033] At least a portion of the second region 612 is in contact with the sealing resin 50. In the illustrated example, the second region 612 is separated from the semiconductor element 30 as viewed in the first direction z. Furthermore, the second region 612 is in contact with at least a portion of the periphery of the first surface 61 as viewed in the first direction z. In the illustrated example, the second region 612 is in contact with the entire periphery of the first surface 61 as viewed in the first direction z. In this example, the first surface 61 has a rectangular shape as viewed in the first direction z, and the second region 612 is in contact with corners of the first surface 61 as viewed in the first direction z.
[0034] The surface roughness of the second surface 62 in this example may be equal to the surface roughness of the first region 611. The surface roughness of the third surface 63 may be smaller than the surface roughness of the second region 612, for example.
[0035] The specific configuration of the bonding sheet 60 is not limited in any way, and it may be composed of a single layer or multiple layers. In the illustrated example, the bonding sheet 60 has a base layer 600, a first layer 601, a second layer 602, and a third layer 603. The base layer 600 includes a metal such as Al (aluminum), Zn (zinc), or an alloy thereof.
[0036] The first layer 601 is laminated on a first side z1 in the first direction z of the base layer 600. The first layer 601 includes a metal such as Ag (silver) or Cu (copper), or an alloy thereof. At least a portion of the first surface 61 is made up of the first layer 601. In the illustrated example, the entire first region 611 is made up of the first layer 601. Furthermore, the entire second region 612 is made up of the first layer 601. Such a configuration is preferable when the first surface 61 and the fourth electrode 34 are bonded by solid-state diffusion bonding.
[0037] The second layer 602 is laminated on the second side z2 in the first direction z of the base layer 600. The second layer 602 includes a metal such as Ag (silver) or Cu (copper) or an alloy thereof. At least a portion of the second surface 62 is formed by the second layer 602. In the illustrated example, the entire second surface 62 is formed by the second layer 602. This configuration is preferable when the second surface 62 and the first main surface 111A are bonded by solid-state diffusion bonding. In the illustrated example, the surface roughness of the second surface 62 is smaller than the surface roughness of the second region 612 and is approximately the same as the surface roughness of the first region 611.
[0038] The third layer 603 is a layer that constitutes the third surface 63. The third layer 603 includes, for example, a metal such as Ag (silver) or Cu (copper), or an alloy thereof.
[0039] The thickness of base layer 600 is, for example, 10 μm or more and 200 μm or less. The thickness of first layer 601 is, for example, 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less. The thickness of second layer 602 is, for example, 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less. The thickness of third layer 603 is, for example, 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less.
[0040] As shown in FIGS. 3, 8, 11, and 12, the multiple wires 41 are electrically connected to the first electrode 31 of the semiconductor element 30 and are connected to the wire pad portion 121 of the second lead 12. The specific configuration of the wires 41 is not limited, and includes configurations in which the cross-sectional shape is circular, elliptical, flattened rectangular, etc. In the illustrated example, the wires 41 have a circular cross-sectional shape. The wires 41 are connected by wedge bonding, for example. The material of the wires 41 is not limited, and includes, for example, Cu (copper), Al (aluminum), etc. In this embodiment, two wires 41 are individually connected to the first electrode 31 and the wire pad portion 121. Instead of the multiple wires 41, a member formed of, for example, a metal plate material may be used.
[0041] As shown in FIGS. 3, 9, and 11, the wire 42 is connected to the second electrode 32 of the semiconductor element 30 and the wire pad portion 131 of the third lead 13. The specific configuration of the wire 42 is not limited in any way, and includes configurations in which the cross-sectional shape is circular, elliptical, flattened rectangular, etc. The wire 42 is connected by wedge bonding, for example. The cross-sectional size of the wire 42 is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the wire 41. The material of the wire 42 is not limited in any way, and includes, for example, Cu (copper), Al (aluminum), etc.
[0042] As shown in FIGS. 3, 10, and 11, the wire 43 is connected to the third electrode 33 of the semiconductor element 30 and the wire pad portion 141 of the fourth lead 14. The specific configuration of the wire 43 is not limited in any way, and includes configurations in which the cross-sectional shape is circular, elliptical, flattened rectangular, etc. The wire 43 is connected by wedge bonding, for example. The cross-sectional size of the wire 43 is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the wire 41. The material of the wire 43 is not limited in any way, and includes, for example, Cu (copper), Al (aluminum), etc.
[0043] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 10 , the sealing resin 50 covers the semiconductor element 30, the wires 41, 42, and 43, the bonding sheet 60, and portions of the first lead 11, the second lead 12, the third lead 13, and the fourth lead 14. The sealing resin 50 has electrical insulation properties. The sealing resin 50 is made of a material containing, for example, black epoxy resin. The sealing resin 50 has a resin main surface 51, a resin back surface 52, a pair of first side surfaces 53, a pair of second side surfaces 54, a pair of openings 55, a mounting hole 56, and a recess 57.
[0044] The resin main surface 51 faces the z1 side in the first direction z. The resin back surface 52 faces the z2 side in the first direction z. A first back surface 111B of the die pad portion 111 is exposed from the resin back surface 52. The first back surface 111B and the resin back surface 52 are flush with each other.
[0045] The pair of first side surfaces 53 are spaced apart from each other in the second direction x. The pair of first side surfaces 53 are connected to the resin main surface 51 and the resin back surface 52. A terminal portion 112 of the first lead 11, a terminal portion 122 of the second lead 12, a terminal portion 132 of the third lead 13, and a terminal portion 142 of the fourth lead 14 protrude from the first side surfaces 53 facing the x2 side in the second direction x.
[0046] The pair of second side surfaces 54 are spaced apart from each other in the third direction y. The pair of second side surfaces 54 are connected to the resin main surface 51 and the resin rear surface 52.
[0047] The pair of openings 55 are positioned apart from each other in the third direction y. Each of the pair of openings 55 is recessed inward into the sealing resin 50 from the resin main surface 51 and one of the pair of second side surfaces 54. A part of the first main surface 111A of the die pad portion 111 of the first lead 11 is exposed from the pair of openings 55.
[0048] The mounting hole 56 penetrates the sealing resin 50 from the resin main surface 51 to the resin back surface 52 in the first direction z. When viewed from the first direction z, the mounting hole 56 is contained within the through hole 111C of the die pad portion 111 of the first lead 11. The inner peripheral surface of the die pad portion 111 that defines the through hole 111C is covered with the sealing resin 50. As a result, when viewed along the first direction z, the maximum dimension of the mounting hole 56 is smaller than the dimension of the through hole 111C.
[0049] The recess 57 is located between the terminal portion 112 and the terminal portion 122 in the third direction y. The recess 57 is recessed from the first side surface 53 located on the x2 side in the second direction x to the x1 side in the second direction x.
[0050] 13 and 14 show an example of a manufacturing method for the semiconductor device A10. In this manufacturing method, first, a bonding sheet 60 is prepared. The step of preparing the bonding sheet 60 includes a step of forming the second region 612. The method for forming the second region 612 is not limited in any way. The second region 612 may be formed by, for example, a blasting process, an etching process, or a beam sputtering process. In the illustrated example, the first layer 601, the second layer 602, and the third layer 603 are formed by, for example, plating the first layer 601. Next, after forming a mask layer as needed, the second region 612 is formed by, for example, a blasting process, an etching process, a beam sputtering process, or the like. Unlike this example, the first layer 601, the second layer 602, and the third layer 603 may be formed after performing, for example, a blasting process, an etching process, a beam sputtering process, or the like on the base layer 600 to form the second region 612.
[0051] The first lead 11, the second lead 12, the third lead 13, and the fourth lead 14 may be parts included in, for example, the same lead frame (not shown). As shown in Figure 13, a bonding sheet 60 is placed on the first main surface 111A of the die pad portion 111 of the first lead 11.
[0052] 14, the first main surface 111A and the fourth electrode 34 are bonded via the bonding sheet 60. The bonding method is not limited to any particular method, and may be, for example, solid-phase diffusion bonding, sintering bonding, etc. When performing solid-phase diffusion bonding, a predetermined pressure is applied to the first lead 11, the bonding sheet 60, and the semiconductor element 30, and the temperature is raised to a predetermined temperature.
[0053] Thereafter, for example, a plurality of wires 41, 42, and 43 are bonded, and a sealing resin 50 is formed, whereby the semiconductor device A10 is obtained.
[0054] Next, the operation of the semiconductor device A10 will be described.
[0055] The first surface 61 includes a first region 611 and a second region 612. At least a portion of the first region 611, which has a relatively small surface roughness, is bonded to the fourth electrode 34. This allows the semiconductor element 30 and the bonding sheet 60 to be bonded appropriately. At least a portion of the second region 612, which has a relatively large surface roughness, is in contact with the sealing resin 50. This prevents peeling between the bonding sheet 60 and the sealing resin 50.
[0056] In this embodiment, the entire fourth electrode 34 is bonded to the first region 611. This allows the semiconductor element 30 and the bonding sheet 60 to be bonded more firmly.
[0057] When viewed in the first direction z, the first region 611 protrudes from the semiconductor element 30. This has the advantage that even if the semiconductor element 30 is misaligned when placed in the first region 611, the entire fourth electrode 34 can be easily placed on the first region 611.
[0058] The second region 612 is in contact with the periphery of the first surface 61. This makes it possible to prevent peeling from the sealing resin 50 at the periphery of the bonding sheet 60. When the first surface 61 is rectangular, the configuration in which the second region 612 is in contact with the corners of the first surface 61 makes it possible to prevent peeling from the sealing resin 50 at the corners of the first surface 61.
[0059] 15 to 19 show modified examples and other embodiments of the present disclosure. In these figures, elements that are the same as or similar to those in the above-described embodiment are given the same reference numerals. Furthermore, the configurations of the various parts in each modified example and each embodiment can be appropriately combined with each other as long as no technical contradiction occurs.
[0060] 15 shows a first modified example of the semiconductor device A10. In the semiconductor device A11 of this modified example, the size and arrangement of the first region 611 and the second region 612 differ from those of the above-described example. When viewed in the first direction z, the entire first region 611 overlaps with the semiconductor element 30. When viewed in the first direction z, the semiconductor element 30 (fourth electrode 34) is larger than the first region 611. When viewed in the first direction z, the semiconductor element 30 (fourth electrode 34) protrudes from the first region 611. When viewed in the first direction z, the second region 612 overlaps with the semiconductor element 30 (fourth electrode 34).
[0061] This modification can prevent peeling in the semiconductor device A11. As can be seen from this modification, a configuration may be adopted in which a portion of the second region 612 overlaps with the semiconductor element 30 (fourth electrode 34). Even if a portion of the second region 612 overlaps with the semiconductor element 30 (fourth electrode 34), the bonding sheet 60 and the semiconductor element 30 can be bonded appropriately because the first region 611 is properly secured.
[0062] 16 shows a second modified example of the semiconductor device A10. In the semiconductor device A12 of this modified example, the second region 612 is in contact with a part of the periphery of the first surface 61 and is separated from another part. The first region 611 is in contact with a part of the periphery of the first surface 61. The second region 612 is divided into multiple regions. The second region 612 is in contact with a corner of the first surface 61.
[0063] This modification can prevent peeling in the semiconductor device A12. As can be seen from this modification, the second region 612 may be configured to contact only a portion of the periphery of the first surface 61. By having the second region 612 contact the corners of the first surface 61, peeling at the corners of the first surface 61 can be prevented.
[0064] 17 shows a semiconductor device according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. In the semiconductor device A20 of this embodiment, the second surface 62 includes a third region 621 and a fourth region 622.
[0065] The third region 621 is in contact with the first main surface 111A and is bonded to the first main surface 111A. The fourth region 622 has a surface roughness greater than that of the third region 621. The fourth region 622 is in contact with the periphery of the second surface 62. The surface roughness of the second region 612 and the fourth region 622 may be equivalent to the surface roughness of the first region 611 and the second region 612, for example.
[0066] In the illustrated example, a portion of the sealing resin 50 is interposed between the fourth region 622 and the first main surface 111A. The fourth region 622 is in contact with the sealing resin 50. For example, when the first lead 11, the semiconductor element 30, and the bonding sheet 60 are formed by solid-state diffusion bonding, if significant pressure is not applied to the portion of the bonding sheet 60 that protrudes from the semiconductor element 30, a gap may be formed between the fourth region 622 and the first main surface 111A. If the liquid resin material used to form the sealing resin 50 seeps into this gap, the illustrated configuration may result.
[0067] In this embodiment, the third surface 63 includes a fifth region 631. The fifth region 631 has a surface roughness greater than that of the first region 611 and the third region 621.
[0068] This embodiment can prevent peeling in the semiconductor device A20. By providing the fourth region 622 and the fifth region 631, peeling between the bonding sheet 60 and the sealing resin 50 can be more reliably prevented.
[0069] 18 shows a semiconductor device according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure. In a semiconductor device A30 of this embodiment, the bonding sheet 60 does not have the third layer 603 described above.
[0070] The bonding sheet 60 of this embodiment can be formed, for example, by forming plating layers that can become multiple first layers 601 and multiple second layers 602 on a material sheet that can form multiple base layers 600, forming a portion that will become the second region 612, and then cutting this material sheet.
[0071] This embodiment can prevent peeling in the semiconductor device A30. As can be understood from this embodiment, the end surface of the base layer 600 facing the second direction x or the third direction y may be configured to be in contact with the sealing resin 50.
[0072] 19 shows a semiconductor device according to a fourth embodiment of the present disclosure. A semiconductor device A40 of this embodiment differs from the above-described embodiments in the configuration of a second region 612.
[0073] In this embodiment, the second region 612 is formed by the base layer 600. In the bonding sheet 60 of this example, the second region 612 is formed by, for example, performing blasting, etching, beam sputtering, or the like on appropriate locations of the base layer 600, and the first layer 601 and the second layer 602 are formed by performing plating, or the like on areas avoiding the second region 612. The first region 611 is formed by the first layer 601.
[0074] This embodiment can prevent peeling in the semiconductor device A 40. As can be understood from this embodiment, the second region 612 may be composed of the base layer 600, the first layer 601, and the like.
[0075] The semiconductor device according to the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the specific configuration of the semiconductor device according to the present disclosure can be freely modified in various ways.
