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

[0002] Various configurations have been proposed for semiconductor devices including semiconductor elements. Patent Document 1 discloses an example of a conventional semiconductor device. The semiconductor device disclosed in this document includes leads, a semiconductor element, and a sealing resin. The semiconductor element is supported by the leads. The sealing resin covers a portion of the leads and the semiconductor element.

[0003] In the semiconductor device described in Patent Document 1, a semiconductor element is mounted on leads by flip-chip mounting. The leads have a main surface facing one side in the thickness direction. The semiconductor element has a plurality of electrodes provided on the side opposite the main surface, and the plurality of electrodes are joined to the main surface of the leads via a bonding layer made of, for example, solder. The leads are electrically connected to the interior of the semiconductor element via the bonding layer and the plurality of electrodes, and serve as wiring in the semiconductor device.

[0004] However, in the above-described configuration in which the semiconductor element is flip-chip mounted, when the bonding layer interposed between the leads and the multiple electrodes is melted by heat treatment, the leads or the semiconductor element may be deformed by heat. If the leads or the semiconductor element are deformed, the distance between the semiconductor element and the leads may differ from the predetermined distance, which may lead to poor bonding in the bonding layer.

The control circuit 322 includes a gate driver for driving the switching circuit 321 and a bootstrap circuit corresponding to the high-voltage region of the switching circuit 321, and performs control to ensure that the switching circuit 321 operates normally. A wiring layer (not shown) is further formed on the semiconductor layer 32. The wiring layer provides electrical continuity between the switching circuit 321 and the control circuit 322.

[0042] 9 to 12 , the plurality of electrodes 34 and the plurality of electrodes 35 are provided on the side facing the wiring main surface 11 (the first wiring main surface 111 to the seventh wiring main surface 117) in the thickness direction z. The plurality of electrodes 34 and the plurality of electrodes 35 are located on the z2 side of the semiconductor element 30 in the thickness direction z, and are in contact with the semiconductor layer 32.

[0043] The plurality of electrodes 34 are electrically connected to the switching circuit 321 of the semiconductor layer 32 via the conductive layer 36. Each of the plurality of electrodes 34 is connected to any one of the first wiring main surface 111 of the pair of first wirings 101, the second wiring main surface 112 of the pair of second wirings 102, the fifth wiring main surface 115 of the fifth wiring 105, and the sixth wiring main surface 116 of the sixth wiring 106. As a result, the pair of first wirings 101, the pair of second wirings 102, the fifth wiring 105, and the sixth wiring 106 are electrically connected to the switching circuit 321.

[0044] The plurality of electrodes 35 are electrically connected to a control circuit 322 of the semiconductor layer 32 via the conductive layer 36. Each of the plurality of electrodes 35 is connected to any one of the third wiring main surfaces 113 of the plurality of third wirings 103, the fourth wiring main surfaces 114 of the plurality of fourth wirings 104, and the seventh wiring main surfaces 117 of the plurality of seventh wirings 107. As a result, the plurality of third wirings 103, the plurality of fourth wirings 104, and the plurality of seventh wirings 107 are electrically connected to the control circuit 322.

[0045] The conductive layer 36 is in contact with a wiring layer formed in the semiconductor layer 32. As a result, the conductive layer 36 is electrically connected to either the switching circuit 321 or the control circuit 322 of the semiconductor layer 32. The conductive layer 36 is formed, for example, from an aluminum (Al) layer or a plurality of metal layers stacked in this order from the semiconductor layer 32 downward, including copper, nickel, and palladium.

[0046] As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 , the plurality of electrodes 34 and the plurality of electrodes 35 each include an electrode base 37A, a plurality of electrode columnar portions 37B, and a first metal layer 37C. The electrode base 37A is in contact with the conductive layer 36. The electrode base 37A is made of metal plating. The metal material constituting the electrode base 37A is, for example, copper (Cu) or a copper alloy. The electrode base 37A is laminated across the surface of the conductive layer 36 facing the z2 side in the thickness direction z and the surface of the surface protective film 392 facing the z2 side in the thickness direction z.

[0047] Each of the multiple electrode column portions 37B protrudes from the electrode base portion 37A toward the z2 side in the thickness direction z. When viewed in the thickness direction z, the electrode column portion 37B has, for example, a circular or rectangular shape. In this embodiment, the electrode column portion 37B has a first surface 381 and a first side surface 382. The first surface 381 faces the z2 side in the thickness direction z. The first side surface 382 is connected to the first surface 381 and extends toward the z1 side in the thickness direction z. The electrode column portion 37B is made of metal plating. The metal material constituting the electrode column portion 37B is not particularly limited. The constituent material of the electrode column portion 37B includes, for example, copper.

[0048] The first metal layer 37C is interposed between the electrode column 37B and the conductive bonding material 40 and is in contact with the conductive bonding material 40. In the present embodiment, the first metal layer 37C has a first portion 383, a second portion 384, and a third portion 385. The first portion 383 covers the entire first surface 381 of the electrode column 37B. The second portion 384 is connected to the first portion 383 and covers the first side surface 382 of the electrode column 37B. In the present embodiment, the second portion 384 covers the entire first side surface 382. The third portion 385 is connected to the second portion 384 on the z1 side in the thickness direction z. The third portion 385 covers a portion of the electrode base 37A and surrounds the second portion 384 in the thickness direction z.

[0049] The first metal layer 37C is made of metal plating. There are no particular limitations on the metal material constituting the first metal layer 37C. The first metal layer 37C has better barrier properties against the conductive bonding material 40 than the electrode column 37B. The constituent material of the first metal layer 37C includes, for example, nickel (Ni).

[0050] 13 and 14 , in the present embodiment, the second metal layer 10B of the wiring portion 10 overlaps the entire electrode column 37B in the thickness direction z. The second metal layer 10B overlaps the entire first metal layer 37C in the thickness direction z. For example, the ratio of the length L2 of the first metal layer 37C in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z to the length L1 of the second metal layer 10B in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z is 100% or less, and preferably 50% to 90% (see FIG. 13 ).

[0051] 13 and 14 , the passivation film 391 covers the lower surface of the semiconductor layer 32 and a portion of the conductive layer 36. The passivation film 391 has electrical insulation properties. The passivation film 391 is composed of, for example, a silicon oxide film (SiO 2 ) that contacts the lower surface of the semiconductor layer 32 and a portion of the conductive layer 36, and a silicon nitride film (Si 3 N 4 ) that is laminated on the silicon oxide film. The passivation film 391 has a plurality of openings 391 a. A portion of the conductive layer 36 is exposed through the openings 391 a.

[0052] The surface protective film 392 covers the passivation film 391. A portion of the conductive layer 36 and a portion of the electrode base portions 37A of the electrodes 34 and 35 are in contact with the surface protective film 392. The surface protective film 392 has electrical insulation properties. The surface protective film 392 is made of, for example, polyimide.

[0053] As shown in FIGS. 9 to 14 , the conductive bonding material 40 is interposed between the second metal layer 10B of the wiring portion 10 and the first metal layer 37C of the plurality of electrodes 34 and the plurality of electrodes 35. The conductive bonding material 40 contacts both the second metal layer 10B and the first metal layer 37C. In the example of the semiconductor device A10, the conductive bonding material 40 is, for example, solder (a metal containing tin and silver). The conductive bonding material 40 individually bonds the plurality of electrodes 34 and the plurality of electrodes 35 to the wiring portion 10 (the second metal layer 10B). As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 , the conductive bonding material 40 contacts all or almost all of the upper surface (the surface facing the z1 side in the thickness direction z) of the second metal layer 10B. The conductive bonding material 40 contacts all of the first portion 383 and the second portion 384 of the first metal layer 37C and most of the third portion 385.

[0054] 5 to 8, the sealing resin 50 has a resin main surface 51, a resin back surface 52, a first resin side surface 531, a second resin side surface 532, a third resin side surface 533, and a fourth resin side surface 534. The constituent material of the sealing resin 50 is, for example, a black epoxy resin.

[0055] As shown in FIGS. 9 to 12 , the resin main surface 51 faces the same side as the wiring main surface 11 (the first wiring main surface 111 to the seventh wiring main surface 117) in the thickness direction z. As shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 , the resin back surface 52 faces the opposite side from the resin main surface 51. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 9 to 12 , the back surfaces 211, 221, 231, 241, 251, 261, and 271 of the terminal portion 21, 251, 261, and 271 exposed from the resin back surface 52 (sealing resin 50) may be plated with tin, for example. Instead of tin plating, multiple metal platings, for example, nickel, palladium, and gold layered in this order, may be used.

[0056] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 , the first resin side surface 531 is connected to both the resin main surface 51 and the resin back surface 52 and faces the x1 side in the first direction x. The second resin side surface 532 is connected to both the resin main surface 51 and the resin back surface 52 and faces the x2 side in the first direction x. The first resin side surface 531 and the second resin side surface 532 are spaced apart in the first direction x. As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 , the end faces 222 of the terminal portions 22, 232 of the terminal portions 23, and 272 of the terminal portions 27 are exposed from the first resin side surface 531 so as to be flush with the first resin side surface 531. The end faces 213 of the terminal portions 21 and 242 of the terminal portions 24 are exposed from the second resin side surface 532 so as to be flush with the second resin side surface 532. For example, tin plating may be applied to the end faces 222, 272, 213, and 242 exposed from the first resin side face 531 and the second resin side face 532 (sealing resin 50). Instead of tin plating, multiple metal platings, for example, nickel, palladium, and gold layered in this order, may be used.

[0057] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the third resin side surface 533 is connected to all of the resin main surface 51, the resin back surface 52, the first resin side surface 531, and the second resin side surface 532, and faces the y1 side in the second direction y. The fourth resin side surface 534 is connected to all of the resin main surface 51, the resin back surface 52, the first resin side surface 531, and the second resin side surface 532, and faces the y2 side in the second direction y. The third resin side surface 533 and the fourth resin side surface 534 are spaced apart from each other in the second direction y. As shown in FIG. 9 , the end surface 252 of the terminal portion 25 is exposed from the third resin side surface 533 so as to be flush with the third resin side surface 533. The end surface 262 of the terminal portion 26 is exposed from the fourth resin side surface 534 so as to be flush with the fourth resin side surface 534. The end surfaces 252 and 262 exposed from the third resin side surface 533 and the fourth resin side surface 534 (sealing resin 50) may be plated with tin, for example. Instead of tin plating, multiple metal platings, for example, nickel, palladium, and gold layered in this order, may be used.

[0058] Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the semiconductor device A10 will be described below with reference to Figures 17 to 25. Figures 17 to 25 are cross-sectional views showing a step in the method for manufacturing the semiconductor device A10, and are enlarged cross-sectional views similar to the cross-sectional view shown in Figure 13. The semiconductor element 30 shown in Figures 17 to 24 is in a position that is upside down compared to the semiconductor element 30 shown in Figure 13.

[0059] 17 shows the state after the electrode base 37A has been formed. The electrode base 37A is made of metal plating. The electrode base 37A is formed by, for example, electrolytic plating. Although detailed illustrations are omitted, a seed layer, for example, is interposed between the conductive layer 36 or the surface protective film 392 and the electrode base 37A. The seed layer is a thin film layer, for example, made up of a titanium (Ti) layer and a copper (Cu) layer stacked together, and is formed in a predetermined region on the conductive layer 36 or the surface protective film 392 by, for example, sputtering using a mask.

[0060] Next, as shown in Fig. 18 , a first resist 91 is placed on the electrode base 37A. The first resist 91 has a first opening 911. The first opening 911 exposes a portion of the electrode base 37A. Although only one first opening 911 is shown in Fig. 18 , the first resist 91 has a plurality of first openings 911 corresponding to the plurality of electrode columnar portions 37B. The plurality of first openings 911 are formed, for example, by placing a photomask on a film of the first resist 91 made of a photosensitive resist material, exposing it to light, and developing it.

[0061] Next, as shown in FIG. 19 , electrode columns 37B are formed by layering on the exposed portions of the electrode base 37A in the first openings 911. The electrode columns 37B are made of metal plating. The electrode columns 37B are formed by, for example, electrolytic plating. When forming the electrode columns 37B, for example, copper, which is the metal material constituting the electrode columns 37B, is layered on the exposed portions of the electrode base 37A. Next, as shown in FIG. 20 , the first resist 91 is removed. In this manner, a plurality of electrode columns 37B are formed on the electrode base 37A.

[0062] Next, as shown in FIG. 21 , a second resist 92 is placed on the electrode base 37A. The second resist 92 has a second opening 921. The second opening 921 exposes the electrode column 37B and a portion of the electrode base 37A that surrounds the electrode column 37B as viewed in the thickness direction z. The size of the second opening 921 as viewed in the thickness direction z is larger than the size of the first opening 911 as viewed in the thickness direction z. Although only one second opening 921 is shown in FIG. 21 , the second resist 92 has multiple second openings 921 corresponding to the multiple electrode column portions 37B. The multiple second openings 921 are formed, for example, by exposing and developing a film of the second resist 92 made of a photosensitive resist material through a photomask.

[0063] Next, as shown in FIG. 22 , a first metal layer 37C is formed by laminating on the exposed portions of the electrode column 37B and the electrode base 37A in the second opening 921. The first metal layer 37C is made of metal plating. The first metal layer 37C is formed, for example, by electrolytic plating. When forming the first metal layer 37C, for example, nickel, which is the metal material constituting the first metal layer 37C, is laminated on the exposed portions of the electrode column 37B and the electrode base 37A. In this manner, the first metal layer 37C is formed. The first metal layer 37C covers the electrode column 37B and a portion of the electrode base 37A that surrounds the electrode column 37B when viewed in the thickness direction z.

[0064] Next, as shown in FIG. 23 , a conductive bonding material 41 is formed by laminating on the first metal layer 37C in the second opening 921. The conductive bonding material 41 is made of metal plating. The conductive bonding material 41 is formed, for example, by electrolytic plating. The conductive bonding material 41 is a part of the conductive bonding material 40. In forming the conductive bonding material 41, a metal material (e.g., a metal containing tin and silver) that constitutes the conductive bonding material 40 (solder) is laminated on the first metal layer 37C. Next, as shown in FIG. 24 , the second resist 92 is removed. In this manner, the conductive bonding material 41 is formed on the first metal layer 37C.

[0065] The semiconductor element 30 shown in Figure 25 is before flip-chip mounting. A conductive bonding material 42 is formed on the second metal layer 10B of the wiring portion 10. The conductive bonding material 42 is a part that constitutes the conductive bonding material 40. Next, the semiconductor element 30 is placed on the wiring portion 10 by flip-chip mounting. Each of the multiple electrodes 34, 35 of the semiconductor element 30 is electrically connected to the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) via the conductive bonding material 40. In flip-chip mounting of the semiconductor element 30, the conductive bonding material 41 and the conductive bonding material 42 are melted and integrated by a heat treatment (reflow treatment) to form the conductive bonding material 40.

[0066] In the semiconductor device A10 manufactured through the above-described flip-chip mounting, the wiring portion 10 or the semiconductor element 30 (semiconductor substrate 31 and semiconductor layer 32) may be deformed due to the heating process (reflow process) during flip-chip mounting. When the wiring portion 10 or the semiconductor element 30 is deformed, the distance between the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring portion 10 may differ from the predetermined distance that was set. Figure 15 shows a case where the distance between the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring portion 10 becomes closer. Figure 16 shows a case where the distance between the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring portion 10 becomes larger.

[0067] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

[0068] The semiconductor device A10 includes a wiring section 10 having a wiring main surface 11, a semiconductor element 30, and a conductive bonding material 40. The wiring main surface 11 faces the z1 side in the thickness direction z, and the semiconductor element 30 has a plurality of electrodes 34 and a plurality of electrodes 35 located on the z2 side in the thickness direction z. The plurality of electrodes 34 and a plurality of electrodes 35 include an electrode base 37A, a plurality of electrode column portions 37B, and a first metal layer 37C. The first metal layer 37C is interposed between the electrode column portion 37B and the conductive bonding material 40 and has better barrier properties against the conductive bonding material 40 than the electrode column portion 37B. The electrode column portion 37B has a first surface 381 and a first side surface 382 connected to the first surface 381. The first metal layer 37C (first portion 383 and second portion 384) covers the first surface 381 and the first side surface 382 of the electrode column portion 37B. In this manner, the first surface 381 and the first side surface 382 of the electrode column portion 37B are covered with the first metal layer 37C, so that the contact area between the conductive bonding material 40 and the first metal layer 37C can be increased.

[0069] The heat treatment (reflow treatment) during flip-chip mounting deforms the wiring portion 10 or the semiconductor element 30 (semiconductor substrate 31 and semiconductor layer 32), and whether the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring portion 10 move closer to each other (see FIG. 15) or farther apart (see FIG. 16), the contact area between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C remains large, and the bonding state of the conductive bonding material 40 interposed between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C is good. The semiconductor device A10 can improve the bonding reliability of the semiconductor element 30 mounted by flip-chip mounting.

[0070] The first metal layer 37C has a third portion 385 connected to the second portion 384. The second portion 384 covers the entire first side surface 382 of the electrode column 37B. The third portion 385 covers a portion of the electrode base 37A and surrounds the second portion 384 in the thickness direction z. This configuration allows for a larger contact area between the conductive bonding material 40 and the first metal layer 37C. Therefore, even if the wiring portion 10 or the semiconductor element 30 is deformed by the heat treatment during flip-chip mounting, the bonding state of the conductive bonding material 40 interposed between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C is maintained more favorably. This further improves the reliability of the semiconductor device A10.

[0071] The wiring unit 10 includes a wiring base 10A and a second metal layer 10B. The second metal layer 10B is interposed between the wiring base 10A and the conductive bonding material 40 and has better barrier properties against the conductive bonding material 40 than the wiring base 10A. The second metal layer 10B overlaps the entire electrode column 37B in the thickness direction z. The ratio of the length L2 of the first metal layer 37C in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z to the length L1 of the second metal layer 10B in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z is 100% or less. This configuration ensures a large space between the second metal layer 10B and the first metal layer 37C covering the electrode column 37B for the conductive bonding material 40 to be interposed. This reduces leakage of the conductive bonding material 40 even when the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring unit 10 are brought close to each other by heat treatment during flip-chip mounting (see FIG. 15 ).

[0072] 26 to 35 show modified examples and other embodiments of the semiconductor device 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 as in the above-described embodiment, and redundant explanations will be omitted. The configurations of the various parts in each modified example and each embodiment can be combined with each other as appropriate to the extent that no technical contradictions arise.

[0073] First Modification of First Embodiment: Fig. 26 shows a first modification of the semiconductor device A10. Fig. 26 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor device A11 according to the first modification, showing a cross section similar to that of Fig. 13. The semiconductor device A11 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the shape of the electrode columnar portion 37B.

[0074] In the semiconductor device A11, the first side surface 382 of the electrode column 37B is inclined with respect to the thickness direction z. As shown in Fig. 26 , the first side surface 382 is inclined so that the cross section of the electrode column 37B perpendicular to the thickness direction z becomes smaller toward the z1 side in the thickness direction z. As described with reference to Figs. 18 and 19 , when forming the electrode column 37B, the inclined first side surface 382 is formed by forming an inclined first opening 911 under predetermined conditions in patterning the first resist 91.

[0075] Second Modification of First Embodiment: Figure 27 shows a second modification of the semiconductor device A10. Figure 27 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor device A12 according to the second modification, showing a cross section similar to that of Figure 13. The semiconductor device A12 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the shape of the electrode columnar portion 37B.

[0076] In the semiconductor device A12, the first side surface 382 of the electrode column 37B is inclined with respect to the thickness direction z. As shown in Fig. 27 , the first side surface 382 is inclined so that the cross section of the electrode column 37B perpendicular to the thickness direction z increases toward the z1 side in the thickness direction z. As described with reference to Figs. 18 and 19 , when forming the electrode column 37B, the inclined first side surface 382 is formed by forming an inclined first opening 911 under predetermined conditions in patterning the first resist 91.

[0077] In the semiconductor devices A11 and A12, the multiple electrodes 34 (35) include an electrode base 37A, multiple electrode columnar portions 37B, and a first metal layer 37C. The first metal layer 37C is interposed between the electrode columnar portion 37B and the conductive bonding material 40 and has better barrier properties against the conductive bonding material 40 than the electrode columnar portion 37B. The electrode columnar portion 37B has a first surface 381 and a first side surface 382 connected to the first surface 381. The first metal layer 37C (first portion 383 and second portion 384) covers the first surface 381 and the first side surface 382 of the electrode columnar portion 37B. Covering the first surface 381 and the first side surface 382 of the electrode columnar portion 37B with the first metal layer 37C in this manner increases the contact area between the conductive bonding material 40 and the first metal layer 37C. With this configuration, the wiring portion 10 or the semiconductor element 30 (semiconductor substrate 31 and semiconductor layer 32) is deformed by the heat treatment during flip-chip mounting. Whether the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring portion 10 move closer to or farther apart, the contact area between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C remains large, and the bonding state of the conductive bonding material 40 interposed between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C is excellent. The semiconductor devices A11 and A12 can improve the bonding reliability of the semiconductor element 30 mounted by flip-chip mounting. Additionally, the semiconductor devices A11 and A12 exhibit the same effects as the semiconductor device A10 of the above embodiment.

[0078] Third Modification of First Embodiment: Figure 28 shows a third modification of the semiconductor device A10. Figure 28 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor device A13 according to the third modification, showing the same cross section as Figure 13. The semiconductor device A13 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the shape of the first metal layer 37C.

[0079] In the semiconductor device A13, the first metal layer 37C has a first portion 383 and a second portion 384, but does not have a third portion 385. As described with reference to Figures 21 and 22, when forming the first metal layer 37C, a smaller second opening 921 is formed in patterning the second resist 92, thereby resulting in a configuration without the third portion 385.

[0080] In the semiconductor device A13, the multiple electrodes 34 (35) include an electrode base 37A, multiple electrode columnar portions 37B, and a first metal layer 37C. The first metal layer 37C is interposed between the electrode columnar portion 37B and the conductive bonding material 40 and has better barrier properties against the conductive bonding material 40 than the electrode columnar portion 37B. The electrode columnar portion 37B has a first surface 381 and a first side surface 382 connected to the first surface 381. The first metal layer 37C (first portion 383 and second portion 384) covers the first surface 381 and the first side surface 382 of the electrode columnar portion 37B. Covering the first surface 381 and the first side surface 382 of the electrode columnar portion 37B with the first metal layer 37C in this manner increases the contact area between the conductive bonding material 40 and the first metal layer 37C. With this configuration, the wiring portion 10 or the semiconductor element 30 (semiconductor substrate 31 and semiconductor layer 32) is deformed by the heat treatment during flip-chip mounting. Whether the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring portion 10 approach or move apart, the contact area between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C remains large, and the bonding state of the conductive bonding material 40 interposed between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C is excellent. The semiconductor device A13 can improve the bonding reliability of the semiconductor element 30 mounted by flip-chip mounting. Additionally, the semiconductor device A13 achieves the same effects as the semiconductor device A10 within the same configuration as the semiconductor device A10 of the above embodiment.

[0081] Fourth Modification of First Embodiment: Fig. 29 shows a fourth modification of the semiconductor device A10. Fig. 29 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor device A14 according to the fourth modification, and shows the same cross section as Fig. 13. The semiconductor device A14 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the configuration of the semiconductor element 30.

[0082] In the semiconductor device A14, the semiconductor element 30 further includes an insulating film 393 and a seed layer 394. The insulating film 393 is located on the z2 side of the electrode base 37A in the thickness direction z. The insulating film 393 is formed on the electrode base 37A. The insulating film 393 is formed in a region of the electrode base 37A excluding a portion around the electrode columnar portion 37B. The insulating film 393 is made of, for example, polyimide. The third portion 385 of the first metal layer 37C is located on the z2 side of the insulating film 393 in the thickness direction z. The seed layer 394 is interposed between the insulating film 393 and the third portion 385. The seed layer 394 is provided to form the third portion 385 (first metal layer 37C) on the insulating film 393 by electrolytic plating. The seed layer 394 is a thin film layer, for example, a laminate of a titanium layer and a copper layer, and is formed, for example, by sputtering using a mask.

[0083] In the semiconductor device A14, the multiple electrodes 34 (35) include an electrode base 37A, multiple electrode columnar portions 37B, and a first metal layer 37C. The first metal layer 37C is interposed between the electrode columnar portion 37B and the conductive bonding material 40 and has better barrier properties against the conductive bonding material 40 than the electrode columnar portion 37B. The electrode columnar portion 37B has a first surface 381 and a first side surface 382 connected to the first surface 381. The first metal layer 37C (first portion 383 and second portion 384) covers the first surface 381 and first side surface 382 of the electrode columnar portion 37B. Covering the first surface 381 and first side surface 382 of the electrode columnar portion 37B with the first metal layer 37C in this manner increases the contact area between the conductive bonding material 40 and the first metal layer 37C. With this configuration, the wiring portion 10 or the semiconductor element 30 (semiconductor substrate 31 and semiconductor layer 32) is deformed by the heat treatment during flip-chip mounting. Whether the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring portion 10 move closer to or farther apart, the contact area between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C remains large, and the bonding state of the conductive bonding material 40 interposed between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C is excellent. The semiconductor device A14 can improve the bonding reliability of the semiconductor element 30 mounted by flip-chip mounting. Additionally, the semiconductor device A14 exhibits the same effects as the semiconductor device A10 of the above embodiment.

Figure 30 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor device A20 according to this embodiment, and shows a cross section similar to that of Figure 13. The semiconductor device A20 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the configuration of the wiring portion 10. In the semiconductor device A20, the wiring portion 10 has a wiring base 10A, a plurality of wiring pillar portions 10C, and a second metal layer 10B.

[0085] Each of the multiple wiring pillars 10C protrudes from the wiring base 10A toward the z1 side in the thickness direction z. When viewed in the thickness direction z, the wiring pillar 10C has, for example, a circular or rectangular shape. In this embodiment, the wiring pillar 10C has a second surface 121 and a second side surface 122. The second surface 121 faces the z1 side in the thickness direction z. The second side surface 122 is connected to the second surface 121 and extends toward the z2 side in the thickness direction z. The wiring pillar 10C is formed by metal plating. The metal material constituting the wiring pillar 10C is not particularly limited. The constituent material of the wiring pillar 10C includes, for example, copper. While only one wiring pillar 10C is shown in FIG. 30 , the wiring unit 10 has multiple wiring pillars 10C corresponding to the multiple electrode pillars 37B.

[0086] The second metal layer 10B is interposed between the wiring pillar 10C and the conductive bonding material 40. In this embodiment, the second metal layer 10B has a fourth portion 123, a fifth portion 124, and a sixth portion 125. The fourth portion 123 covers the entire second surface 121 of the wiring pillar 10C. The fifth portion 124 is connected to the fourth portion 123 and covers the second side surface 122 of the wiring pillar 10C. In this embodiment, the fifth portion 124 covers the entire second side surface 122. The sixth portion 125 is connected to the fifth portion 124 on the z2 side in the thickness direction z. The sixth portion 125 covers a portion of the wiring base 10A and surrounds the fifth portion 124 when viewed in the thickness direction z.

[0087] Although detailed illustrations are omitted, the wiring columnar section 10C and the second metal layer 10B formed on the wiring base 10A can be stacked using the same method as described above with reference to FIGS. 18 to 22 for the semiconductor device A10 of the above embodiment. A conductive bonding material is further stacked on the second metal layer 10B. A semiconductor element 30 is bonded to the wiring section 10 by flip-chip mounting. In flip-chip mounting of the semiconductor element 30, the wiring section 10 or the semiconductor element 30 (semiconductor substrate 31 and semiconductor layer 32) may be deformed by a heat treatment (reflow treatment). Deformation of the wiring section 10 or the semiconductor element 30 may cause the distance between the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring section 10 to deviate from the predetermined distance. FIG. 31 illustrates a case where the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring section 10 are closer to each other. FIG. 32 illustrates a case where the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring section 10 are farther apart.

[0088] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

[0089] In the semiconductor device A20, the multiple electrodes 34 (35) include an electrode base 37A, multiple electrode columnar portions 37B, and a first metal layer 37C. The first metal layer 37C is interposed between the electrode columnar portion 37B and the conductive bonding material 40 and has better barrier properties against the conductive bonding material 40 than the electrode columnar portion 37B. The electrode columnar portion 37B has a first surface 381 and a first side surface 382 connected to the first surface 381. The first metal layer 37C (first portion 383 and second portion 384) covers the first surface 381 and the first side surface 382 of the electrode columnar portion 37B. Covering the first surface 381 and the first side surface 382 of the electrode columnar portion 37B with the first metal layer 37C in this manner increases the contact area between the conductive bonding material 40 and the first metal layer 37C. With this configuration, the heat treatment during flip-chip mounting deforms the wiring portion 10 or the semiconductor element 30 (semiconductor substrate 31 and semiconductor layer 32), and whether the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring portion 10 move closer to each other (see FIG. 31) or farther apart (see FIG. 32), the contact area between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C remains large, and the bonding state of the conductive bonding material 40 interposed between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C is good. The semiconductor device A20 can improve the bonding reliability of the semiconductor element 30 mounted by flip-chip mounting.

[0090] The first metal layer 37C has a third portion 385 connected to the second portion 384. The second portion 384 covers the entire first side surface 382 of the electrode column 37B. The third portion 385 covers a portion of the electrode base 37A and surrounds the second portion 384 in the thickness direction z. This configuration allows for a larger contact area between the conductive bonding material 40 and the first metal layer 37C. Therefore, even if the wiring portion 10 or the semiconductor element 30 is deformed by the heat treatment during flip-chip mounting, the bonding state of the conductive bonding material 40 interposed between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C is maintained more favorably. This further improves the reliability of the semiconductor device A20.

[0091] The wiring portion 10 includes a wiring base 10A, multiple wiring pillars 10C, and a second metal layer 10B. The second metal layer 10B is interposed between the wiring pillars 10C and the conductive bonding material 40 and includes a fourth portion 123, a fifth portion 124, and a sixth portion 125. The second metal layer 10B (the fourth portion 123 and the fifth portion 124) covers the second surface 121 and the second side surface 122 of the wiring pillars 10C. The second metal layer 10B (the sixth portion 125) covers a portion of the wiring base 10A and surrounds the fifth portion 124 in the thickness direction z. This configuration allows for a larger contact area between the conductive bonding material 40 and the second metal layer 10B. Therefore, even if the wiring portion 10 or the semiconductor element 30 is deformed by the heat treatment during flip-chip mounting, the bonding state of the conductive bonding material 40 interposed between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the first metal layer 37C is maintained in a better state, thereby further improving the reliability of the semiconductor device A20.

[0092] According to the configuration in which the wiring portion 10 includes the wiring columnar portion 10C and the second metal layer 10B having the fourth portion 123, the fifth portion 124, and the sixth portion 125, a larger space can be secured between the second metal layer 10B and the first metal layer 37C for the conductive bonding material 40 to be interposed therebetween. Therefore, even when the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring portion 10 are brought close to each other by the heat treatment during flip-chip mounting (see FIG. 31 ), leakage of the conductive bonding material 40 can be reduced.

[0093] Third Embodiment: Figure 33 shows a semiconductor device according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 33 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor device A30 according to this embodiment, and shows the same cross section as Figure 13. The semiconductor device A30 differs from the semiconductor device A10 in the configuration of the multiple electrodes 34 (35) and the wiring portion 10.

[0094] In the semiconductor device A30, the multiple electrodes 34 (35) include an electrode base 37A and multiple electrode protrusions 37D. Each of the multiple electrode protrusions 37D is connected to the electrode base 37A and located on the z2 side of the electrode base 37A in the thickness direction z. The electrode protrusions 37D are stacked on the electrode base 37A. Each of the multiple electrode protrusions 37D is interposed between the electrode base 37A and the conductive bonding material 40 and contacts the conductive bonding material 40. The electrode protrusions 37D are, for example, circular or rectangular when viewed in the thickness direction z. The electrode protrusions 37D are made of metal plating. The metal material constituting the electrode protrusions 37D is not particularly limited. The electrode protrusions 37D have better barrier properties against the conductive bonding material 40 than the electrode base 37A. The constituent material of the electrode protrusions 37D includes, for example, nickel (Ni).

[0095] In the semiconductor device A30, the wiring portion 10 has a wiring base 10A, a plurality of wiring pillars 10C, and a second metal layer 10B. The configurations of the plurality of wiring pillars 10C and the second metal layer 10B in the semiconductor device A30 are similar to the configurations of the plurality of wiring pillars 10C and the second metal layer 10B in the semiconductor device A20 described above.

[0096] Each of the multiple wiring pillars 10C protrudes from the wiring base 10A toward the z1 side in the thickness direction z. The wiring pillars 10C have, for example, a circular or rectangular shape when viewed in the thickness direction z. In this embodiment, the wiring pillars 10C have a second surface 121 and a second side surface 122. The second surface 121 faces the z1 side in the thickness direction z. The second side surface 122 is connected to the second surface 121 and extends toward the z2 side in the thickness direction z. The wiring pillars 10C are formed by metal plating. The metal material constituting the wiring pillars 10C is not particularly limited. The constituent material of the wiring pillars 10C includes, for example, copper. While only one wiring pillar 10C is shown in FIG. 33 , the wiring unit 10 has multiple wiring pillars 10C corresponding to the multiple electrode protrusions 37D.

[0097] The second metal layer 10B is interposed between the wiring pillar 10C and the conductive bonding material 40. In this embodiment, the second metal layer 10B has a fourth portion 123, a fifth portion 124, and a sixth portion 125. The fourth portion 123 covers the entire second surface 121 of the wiring pillar 10C. The fifth portion 124 is connected to the fourth portion 123 and covers the second side surface 122 of the wiring pillar 10C. In this embodiment, the fifth portion 124 covers the entire second side surface 122. The sixth portion 125 is connected to the fifth portion 124 on the z2 side in the thickness direction z. The sixth portion 125 covers a portion of the wiring base 10A and surrounds the fifth portion 124 when viewed in the thickness direction z.

[0098] 33 , the electrode protrusion 37D of the electrode 34 overlaps the entire wiring columnar portion 10C when viewed in the thickness direction z. The electrode protrusion 37D overlaps the entire second metal layer 10B when viewed in the thickness direction z. For example, the ratio of the length L4 of the second metal layer 10B in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z to the length L3 of the electrode protrusion 37D in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z is 100% or less, and preferably 50% or more and 90% or less.

[0099] Although detailed illustrations are omitted, the wiring columnar section 10C and the second metal layer 10B formed on the wiring base 10A can be stacked using the same method as described above with reference to FIGS. 18 to 22 for the semiconductor device A10 of the above embodiment. A conductive bonding material is further stacked on the second metal layer 10B. A semiconductor element 30 is bonded to the wiring section 10 by flip-chip mounting. During flip-chip mounting of the semiconductor element 30, the wiring section 10 or the semiconductor element 30 (semiconductor substrate 31 and semiconductor layer 32) may be deformed by a heating process (reflow process). Deformation of the wiring section 10 or the semiconductor element 30 may result in the distance between the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring section 10 differing from the predetermined distance. FIG. 34 illustrates a case where the distance between the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring section 10 decreases. FIG. 35 illustrates a case where the distance between the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring section 10 increases.

[0100] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

[0101] The wiring portion 10 includes a wiring base 10A, multiple wiring pillars 10C, and a second metal layer 10B. The second metal layer 10B is interposed between the wiring pillars 10C and the conductive bonding material 40 and includes a fourth portion 123, a fifth portion 124, and a sixth portion 125. The second metal layer 10B (the fourth portion 123 and the fifth portion 124) covers the second surface 121 and the second side surface 122 of the wiring pillars 10C. The second metal layer 10B (the sixth portion 125) covers a portion of the wiring base 10A and surrounds the fifth portion 124 in the thickness direction z. This configuration increases the contact area between the conductive bonding material 40 and the second metal layer 10B. Even if the wiring portion 10 or the semiconductor element 30 is deformed by the heat treatment during flip-chip mounting, the bonding state of the conductive bonding material 40 interposed between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the electrode protrusion 37D is good. According to the semiconductor device A30, it is possible to improve the bonding reliability of the semiconductor element 30 mounted by flip-chip mounting.

[0102] According to the configuration in which the wiring portion 10 includes the wiring columnar portion 10C and the second metal layer 10B having the fourth portion 123, the fifth portion 124, and the sixth portion 125, a large space can be secured between the second metal layer 10B and the electrode protrusion 37D for the conductive bonding material 40 to be interposed therebetween. Therefore, even when the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring portion 10 are brought close to each other by the heat treatment during flip-chip mounting (see FIG. 34 ), leakage of the conductive bonding material 40 can be reduced.

[0103] In the semiconductor device A30, the multiple electrodes 34 (35) include an electrode base 37A and multiple electrode protrusions 37D. The electrode protrusions 37D are interposed between the electrode base 37A and the conductive bonding material 40 and have better barrier properties against the conductive bonding material 40 than the electrode base 37A. The electrode protrusions 37D overlap the entire second metal layer 10B in the thickness direction z. The ratio of the length L4 of the second metal layer 10B in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z to the length L3 of the electrode protrusions 37D in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z is 100% or less. By making the length L3 of the electrode protrusions 37D in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z greater than the length L4 of the second metal layer 10B in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction z, the contact area between the conductive bonding material 40 and the electrode protrusions 37D can be increased. With this configuration, the heat treatment during flip-chip mounting deforms the wiring portion 10 or the semiconductor element 30 (semiconductor substrate 31 and semiconductor layer 32), and whether the semiconductor element 30 and the wiring portion 10 move closer to each other (see FIG. 34) or farther apart (see FIG. 35), the contact area between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the electrode protrusions 37D remains large, and the bonding state of the conductive bonding material 40 interposed between the wiring portion 10 (second metal layer 10B) and the electrode protrusions 37D is good. The semiconductor device A30 can further improve the bonding reliability of the semiconductor element 30 mounted by flip-chip mounting.
