Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same.

Background Art

[0002] In semiconductor devices for power conversion used in, for example, inverter control of in-vehicle chargers, semiconductor elements such as IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), MOSFET (Metal-oxide-semiconductor Field-effect Transistor), and diodes are mounted as switching elements and rectifying elements. On the entire front and back surfaces of these semiconductor elements, surface electrodes and back electrodes with metal metallization are provided. And, as a wiring structure for flowing a large current, in the case of a general semiconductor device, the back electrode provided on the back side of the semiconductor element and the circuit board are connected via a solder joint.

[0003] On the other hand, in order to reduce power loss, in recent years, for example, semiconductor elements using wide-bandgap semiconductor materials such as silicon carbide (SC) and gallium nitride (GaN) have been developed. Such semiconductor elements have excellent heat resistance of the elements and enable high-temperature operation caused by a large current. In order to utilize such characteristics, a bonding material having high heat resistance is required to form the above-described wiring structure. However, at present, a lead-free and high heat-resistant solder material has not been found. Therefore, as a technology to replace the solder material, a sintering bonding technology using the sintering phenomenon of metal fine particles has been studied.

[0005] Regarding bonding using sintered bonding materials, delamination of the bond may occur, particularly in high-temperature environments. Therefore, the technology disclosed herein aims to achieve higher reliability in semiconductor devices and their manufacturing methods using sintered bonding materials. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The semiconductor device of this disclosure comprises a semiconductor element and a bonding layer provided on one surface of the semiconductor element. The bonding layer includes a first bonding material layer, a second bonding material layer, and a third bonding material layer stacked in order from the side of the semiconductor element. The voids contained within the first bonding material layer and the third bonding material layer are smaller than the voids contained within the second bonding material layer. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the semiconductor device of this disclosure, the first bonding material layer and the third bonding material layer have relatively few internal voids, resulting in excellent bonding performance to semiconductor elements, and the second bonding material layer has relatively many voids, which reduces the stress generated in the bonding layer. This improves the reliability of bonding by the bonding layer. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0009] (Regarding the reliability of bonding using sintered bonding materials) When a sintered bonding material is used to bond a semiconductor element to a substrate, delamination may occur, especially at high temperatures.

[0010] Sintered bonding materials are paste-like bonding materials containing metal nanoparticles, a protective film covering the metal nanoparticles, and an organic solvent component. In such sintered bonding materials, a porous bonding layer is formed when the metal nanoparticles are sintered, and this bonding layer provides bonding to the members to be joined. Bonding using sintered bonding materials utilizes the phenomenon where the metal nanoparticles, due to their reactivity, sinter at a temperature lower than the melting point of the metal in bulk form.

[0011] During sintering, metal nanoparticles are diffusion-bonded to each other, and diffusion bonding also occurs between the metal nanoparticles and the metallized element, as well as between the element and the surface of the substrate on which it is mounted. The melting point after bonding rises to the melting point inherent to the metal. As a result, it is possible to achieve higher heat resistance than the sintering temperature. However, the metal particles do not completely melt during sintering. Therefore, the particle shape remains after sintering, and voids may exist between the particles.

[0012] The inventors examined the influence of such particle shapes and voids on the reliability of the bonding.

[0013] The more voids there are in the sintered bonding material, the smaller the contact area between the metal particles constituting the sintered bonding material and the semiconductor element or the like. Also, when the semiconductor device is placed in a high-temperature environment, warpage may occur due to differences in the coefficients of thermal expansion of members such as the semiconductor element and the substrate. As a result, peeling occurs starting from a location where the metal particles and the semiconductor element or the like are not in contact. This is one of the causes of the reduction in the reliability of the bonding by the sintered bonding material.

[0014] Also, when the voids in the sintered bonding material decrease, the bonding layer becomes difficult to deform. This means that when a force is applied to the bonding layer due to warpage or the like in the above-mentioned high-temperature environment, the ability to deform and relieve stress decreases. Thus, the small number of voids in the sintered bonding material can also be a cause of the reduction in the reliability of the bonding.

[0015] The large particle size of the metal particles causes the voids remaining between the particles to become large. On the other hand, when the particle size of the metal particles is small, the proportion occupied by the protective film and the organic solvent on the surface throughout becomes large, and it becomes difficult to volatilize. This remains even after sintering and causes deterioration of the bonding reliability.

[0016] Embodiments of the present disclosure based on the above will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0017] (Structure of the semiconductor device) FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are a side view and a plan view schematically showing an exemplary semiconductor device 100 of the present disclosure, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the semiconductor device 100 has a structure in which a semiconductor element 120 and a DBC substrate 130 (Direct Bonded Copper substrate) are bonded via a bonding layer 110.

[0018] The semiconductor element 120 is preferably a semiconductor element capable of operating at high temperatures, for example, 175°C or higher. Examples of preferred semiconductor elements include those utilizing silicon carbide, gallium nitride, gallium arsenide, diamond, etc. However, other semiconductor elements such as silicon-based elements may also be used. Although not shown in Figure 1, at least the entire back surface (the lower surface in Figure 1) of the semiconductor element 120 is provided with metallized electrodes. When joining the semiconductor element 120 to the DBC substrate 130, these electrodes are joined to the bonding layer 110.

[0019] The DBC substrate 130 has a structure in which electrodes 132 are placed on one side of an insulating substrate 131 and electrodes 133 are placed on the other side. In the example shown in Figure 1, a semiconductor element 120 is bonded to the electrodes 132 via a junction layer 110.

[0020] The insulating substrate 131 is formed from ceramics such as silicon nitride (AlN) or aluminum oxide (Al2O3). The insulating substrate 131 is preferably made of a ceramic material that has high heat resistance and high heat dissipation properties, in order to facilitate heat dissipation during high-temperature operation.

[0021] Electrodes 132 and 133 are formed from copper, aluminum, or the like. Electrode 133 may be further treated with plating or sputtering of one of the following materials: Au, Pt, Pd, Ag, Cu, Ti, or Ni, to make it less susceptible to oxidation.

[0022] The DBC substrate 130 is manufactured by using thermal bonding technology to directly sinter a copper plate onto the surface of a ceramic (corresponding to the insulating substrate 131) at high temperature. Both electrodes 132 and 133 contain copper, and various patterns are formed on their surfaces.

[0023] These DBC substrates have a wide operating temperature range and are used in the mounting of various electronic modules. Furthermore, they are environmentally friendly products (RoHS compliant) manufactured without causing any pollution.

[0024] The bonding layer 110 is a layer used for bonding using a sintered bonding material, and has a configuration in which a first bonding material layer 111, a second bonding material layer 112, and a third bonding material layer 113 are stacked in order from the semiconductor element 120 side.

[0025] The first bonding material layer 111 is a layer in which metal particles such as Cu, Ag, and Au are sintered. Since melting does not occur during formation, the particle shape remains (similarly, the particle shape remains in the second bonding material layer 112 and the third bonding material layer 113). For such sintered metal crystal grains, the average particle size is preferably 1 nm or more, and more preferably 5 nm or more. Furthermore, the average particle size is preferably 100 nm or less, and more preferably 50 nm or less. The particle size of the metal crystal grains may be measured using a particle size distribution analyzer, such as the MT-3000(II) series from Microtrac. The average particle size is calculated from the number average of the measurement results. Such an average particle size of metal crystal grains is achieved by sintering metal particles of the corresponding average particle size.

[0026] Furthermore, the film thickness of the first bonding material layer 111 is preferably 1 μm or more, and more preferably 10 μm or more. The film thickness is also preferably 100 μm or less, and more preferably 50 μm or less. Although the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device 100 will be described later, the relatively small film thickness of the first bonding material layer 111 allows solvent components to easily escape from the metal paste material, thereby suppressing the retention of voids.

[0027] The second bonding material layer 112 is also a layer in which metal particles such as Cu, Ag, and Au are sintered. However, the particle size is different from that of the first bonding material layer 111. First, the second bonding material layer 112 is mainly formed using large-diameter metal particles (larger particle size than that of the first bonding material layer 111). Specifically, it is preferably formed using metal particles with an average particle size of 0.1 μm or more, more preferably 1 μm or more, and an average particle size of preferably 100 μm or less, more preferably 10 μm or less. Therefore, even after sintering, mainly metal crystal grains with a similar average particle size can be observed. However, in addition to this, it also contains small-diameter metal particles (metal crystal grains) having the same average particle size as those that constitute the first bonding material layer 111. The small-diameter metal particles are embedded in the gaps between the large-diameter metal particles. Thus, the inclusion of both large-diameter and small-diameter metal particles is one of the characteristics of the second bonding material layer 112. As a result, there are fewer voids (higher packing efficiency) compared to when only large-diameter metal particles are used. However, the small-diameter metal particles do not completely fill the gaps between the large-diameter metal particles, leaving larger voids than those between the small-diameter metal particles.

[0028] Furthermore, in the formed second bonding material layer 112, the ratio of small-diameter particles to large-diameter particles is preferably about 20:80 to 40:60 by mass ratio.

[0029] Furthermore, the average particle size of the large and small metal particles combined in the second bonding material layer 112 is larger than the average particle size of the metal particles in the first bonding material layer 111.

[0030] The film thickness of the second bonding material layer 112 is preferably 20 μm or more, and more preferably 30 μm or more. Furthermore, the film thickness is preferably 80 μm or less, and more preferably 60 μm or less. Moreover, the film thickness of the second bonding material layer 112 is preferably greater than the film thickness of the first bonding material layer 111.

[0031] Next, the third bonding material layer 113 is a layer in which metal particles such as Cu, Ag, and Au having the same average particle size as the first bonding material layer 111 are sintered. Preferably, the film thickness of the third bonding material layer 113 is the same as that of the first bonding material layer 111.

[0032] As described above, the bonding layer 110 has a three-layer structure in which a second bonding material layer 112, which is made of metal particles with a relatively large average particle size, is sandwiched between a first bonding material layer 111 and a third bonding material layer 113, which are made of metal particles with a relatively small average particle size.

[0033] As will be explained further later, the first bonding material layer 111 and the third bonding material layer 113 are formed as relatively thin layers, and the other layers are laminated after drying. Therefore, volatile components such as protective films and organic solvent components are sufficiently removed during sintering, and there are no voids remaining, or only very small ones. From this, the first bonding material layer 111 and the third bonding material layer 113 are bonded to the semiconductor element 120 and the electrode 132 with high reliability.

[0034] In contrast, the second joining material layer 112 has relatively more voids than the first joining material layer 111 and the second joining material layer 112. As a result, when stress is applied to the joining layer 110, the stress can be dispersed and relieved by cohesive failure in the second joining material layer 112. This suppresses fracture of the joint.

[0035] Furthermore, since the first bonding material layer 111 and the third bonding material layer 113 have relatively small voids, the contact area with the semiconductor element 120 and the DBC substrate 130 is increased, improving the reliability of bonding at each bonding surface.

[0036] As described above, the three-layer bonding layer 110 of this embodiment enables highly reliable bonding.

[0037] (Dimensions of each component) The dimensions of each component of the semiconductor device 100 are as follows, although not limited to these. Note that all are square in the plan view, and the length of one side and thickness are given as examples. For the insulating substrate 131 of the DBC substrate 130, one side is 30 mm and the thickness is 0.3 mm. For electrodes 132 and 133, one side is 22 mm and the thickness is 0.8 mm. For the first, second and third bonding material layers 111, 112 and 113, one side is 7 to 15 mm and the thickness is 0.03 mm, 0.04 mm and 0.03 mm, respectively. For the semiconductor element 120, one side is approximately 5 to 10 mm and the thickness is 0.03 mm.

[0038] In the diagram, the semiconductor element 120 and the junction layer 110 have the same width (length of one side), but the junction layer 110 can also be made larger.

[0039] (Method of manufacturing semiconductor devices) Next, the manufacturing method for the semiconductor device 100 will be explained with reference to Figures 3 to 8, which schematically show the manufacturing process.

[0040] First, as shown in Figure 3, the semiconductor element 120 and the DBC substrate 130 are prepared. In Figure 3, they are shown facing each other, but this is only to indicate that they will be joined in a later step (Figure 8); until then, each step is performed separately.

[0041] Next, the process shown in Figure 4 will be explained. Here, a metal mask 143 having a predetermined pattern of openings is placed on the electrodes 132 of the DBC substrate 130, and a metal paste material 144 for forming the third bonding material layer 113 is printed and applied.

[0042] Furthermore, a metal mask 141 having a predetermined pattern of openings is placed on one surface of the semiconductor element 120, and a metal paste material 142 for forming the first bonding material layer 111 is printed and applied to it.

[0043] Here, the film thickness of both metal mask 141 and metal mask 143 is, for example, 60 μm. Therefore, the film thickness of the applied metal paste material 142 and metal paste material 144 will also be approximately 60 μm. However, shrinkage occurs in subsequent processes such as drying and sintering, and the film thickness of the first bonding material layer 111 and the third bonding material layer 113 will be smaller than the film thickness of the applied metal paste material.

[0044] Both metal paste materials 142 and 144 contain metal particles, an organic protective film covering the metal particles, and a dispersant for adjusting the particle size. The proportions of these components can be appropriately set depending on the type of metal particles, particle size, etc. For example, the metal particles may make up 90% by mass, the organic protective film 3% by mass, and the dispersant 7% by mass.

[0045] Furthermore, it is desirable that the metal particles used have an average grain size of 1 nm or more and 100 nm or less.

[0046] Next, as shown in Figure 5, the metal masks 141 and 143 are removed, respectively. Then, the metal paste material 142 for forming the first bonding material layer 111 and the metal paste material 144 for forming the third bonding material layer 113 are heated at a low temperature. For example, the solvent is evaporated using hot air. The conditions for this are, for example, preheating at a temperature of 60°C for a holding time of 30 minutes. This heating allows the organic solvent components contained in the metal crystal grains and the protective film covering the metal crystal grains to volatilize.

[0047] In this case, if the thickness of the metal paste material is large, organic solvent components and the like become difficult to remove, causing many voids to remain. In this embodiment, relatively thin metal paste materials 142 and 144 are provided on both the semiconductor element 120 and the DBC substrate 130, respectively. This makes it easier for organic solvent components and the like to remove than when a thick metal paste material is provided on only one of them, and suppresses the generation of unnecessary voids. Since the reliability of the bond decreases if voids exist near the contact surface with the semiconductor element 120, it is particularly desirable to suppress the generation of voids near the contact surface. In this example, voids can be almost completely eliminated in the first bonding material layer 111 and the third bonding material layer 113.

[0048] Next, the process shown in Figure 6 will be explained. First, a metal mask 145 with openings in the same locations as the applied metal paste material 144 is placed on the electrode 132 of the DBC substrate 130. Subsequently, a metal paste material 146 for forming the second bonding material layer 112 is printed and applied onto the metal paste material 144. Here, the film thickness of the metal paste material 146 is, for example, 80 μm. However, shrinkage occurs in the subsequent process, and the film thickness of the second bonding material layer 112 becomes about 40-50 μm, which is thicker than the first bonding material layer 111 and the third bonding material layer 113.

[0049] The metal paste material 146 also contains metal particles, an organic protective film covering the metal particles, and a dispersant for adjusting the particle size. The proportions of these components may be, for example, 80% by mass for the metal particles, 8% by mass for the organic protective film, and 12% by mass for the dispersant. Furthermore, the average particle size of the metal crystal grains is preferably 0.1 μm or more and 100 μm or less.

[0050] Next, as shown in Figure 7, the metal mask 145 is removed. Then, the metal paste material 146 for forming the second bonding material layer 112 is heated. For example, preheating is performed at a temperature of 60°C for a holding time of 30 minutes. This heating allows the organic solvent components contained in the metal crystal grains and the protective film covering the metal crystal grains to volatilize. In this case, volatilization is easier because the particle size of the metal crystal grains is larger compared to the cases of metal paste materials 142 and 144.

[0051] As mentioned above, the process described so far has actually been carried out separately for the semiconductor element 120 and the DBC substrate 130.

[0052] Finally, as shown in Figure 8, the DBC substrate 130 and the semiconductor element 120 are joined together. To do this, the metal paste material 146 formed on the DBC substrate 130 and the metal paste material 142 formed on the semiconductor element 120 are placed on top of each other, and each is sintered by heating. The conditions for this are, for example, a temperature of 270°C, a heating time of 70 minutes, and a holding time of 60 minutes. As a result, the metal crystal grains contained in the metal paste material are joined together, and the DBC substrate 130 and the semiconductor element 120 are joined via the bonding layer 110 (first bonding material layer 111, second bonding material layer 112, and third bonding material layer 113), completing the semiconductor device 100 shown in Figure 1.

[0053] During this bonding process, pressure is applied that presses the semiconductor device 100 and the DBC substrate 130 against each other. Due to this pressure, some of the relatively small-diameter metal particles constituting the metal paste material 142 and metal paste material 144 penetrate into the gaps between the relatively large-diameter metal particles constituting the metal paste material 146. Sintering is performed in this state, so the second bonding material layer 112 comes to contain not only the large-diameter metal particles used in the metal paste material 146, but also the small-diameter metal particles constituting the first bonding material layer 111 and the third bonding material layer 113. The metal paste material 146 for constituting the second bonding material layer 112 does not need to contain small-diameter metal particles at the time of application.

[0054] Figures 9, 10, and 11 show the voids in the bonding layer.

[0055] Figure 9 shows a case where the entire bonding layer is composed of a single layer of metal paste material using small-diameter metal particles. In this case, the protective film and organic solvent components that volatilize during heating for sintering form bubbles, generating voids 151. Voids 151 tend to occur on the side that is facing upward during sintering (assumed to be the upper side in Figure 9). If there are many voids near the bonding interface, the reliability of the bond decreases.

[0056] Figure 10 shows a case where small-diameter metal particles are placed at the bottom and large-diameter particles are placed at the top of the figure, and sintering is performed to form a bonded layer. In this case, in addition to the voids 152 similar to those in Figure 9, the gaps between the large-diameter particles at the top tend to cause voids 153.

[0057] In contrast to the above, Figure 11 corresponds to the bonding layer of this disclosure. Here, small-diameter metal particles are used for the first bonding material layer 161 and the third bonding material layer 163. Furthermore, since both are constructed by arranging the metal paste material as thinner layers than the bonding layers in Figures 9 and 10, the protective film and organic solvent components volatilize and escape easily, and as a result, the generation of voids can be suppressed. The second bonding material layer 162, sandwiched between these two layers, uses large-diameter metal particles, so voids 154 are relatively more likely to occur. However, during sintering, small-diameter metal particles penetrate the second bonding material layer 162 from the first bonding material layer 161 and the third bonding material layer 163, filling the gaps between the large-diameter metal particles to a certain extent. Therefore, the occupancy rate of voids 154 is smaller compared to the case in Figure 10, where such filling by small-diameter particles does not occur.

[0058] As a result, the first joining material layer 111 and the third joining material layer 113 are free of voids, enabling highly reliable joining, while the second joining material layer 112 has a certain amount of voids that can distribute and relieve stress.

[0059] Based on the above, the bonding between the semiconductor element 120 and the DBC substrate 130 by the bonding layer 110 in the semiconductor device 100 exhibits high reliability.

[0060] In the above example, a DBC substrate 130 is used as the substrate to which the semiconductor element 120 is bonded, but the method is not limited to this, and other types of substrates may be used. [Industrial applicability]

[0061] The information disclosed herein enables the realization of highly reliable bonding of semiconductor elements and the like using sintered bonding materials, and is useful as a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same. [Explanation of Symbols]
