  • Patent number: 8492202
    Abstract: In a structure of a semiconductor device, a Si chip and a metal leadframe are jointed by metallic bond via a porous joint layer made of high conductive metal, having a three-dimensional network structure and using Ag as a bonding material, and a film containing Zn oxide or Al oxide is formed on a surface of a semiconductor assembly contacting to a polymer resin. In this manner, by the joint with the joint layer having the porous structure mainly made of Ag, thermal stress load of the Si chip can be reduced, and fatigue life of the joint layer itself can be improved. Besides, since adhesion of the polymer resin to the film can be enhanced by the anchor effect, occurrence of cracks in a bonding portion can be prevented, so that a highly-reliable Pb-free semiconductor device can be provided.

  • Patent number: 7579677
    Abstract: In a power semiconductor device, a joint between the power semiconductor element and frame plated with Ni is composed of a laminated structure comprising, from the power semiconductor element side, an intermetallic compound layer having a melting point of 260° C. or higher, a Cu layer, a metal layer having a melting point of 260° C. or higher, a Cu layer and an intermetallic layer having a melting point of 260° C. or higher. The structure of the joint buffers the stress generated by the secondary mounting and temperature cycle at the bond for the semiconductor element and the frame having a large difference in thermal expansion coefficient from each other.

  • Patent number: 7528489
    Abstract: Pb free solder is used in die bonding. A thermal stress reduction plate is disposed between a semiconductor chip and a die pad made of a Cu alloy. The semiconductor chip and the thermal stress reduction plate are joined and the thermal stress reduction plate and the die pad are joined by a joint material of Pb free solder having Sn—Sb—Ag—Cu as its main constituent elements and having a solidus temperature not lower than 270° C. and a liquidus temperature not higher than 400° C. Thus, die bonding can be performed using the Pb free solder without generating any chip crack.

  • Publication number: 20080268577
    Abstract: A semiconductor chip is sealed by resin without covering an outer terminal of a semiconductor device having a power transistor. A semiconductor chip having a power transistor is housed within a recess of a metal cap while a drain electrode on a first surface of the semiconductor chip is bonded to a bottom of the recess via a connection material. A gate electrode and a source electrode are formed on a second surface opposite to the first surface of the semiconductor chip, and the gate electrode and the source electrode are bonded with metal plate terminals 6G, 6S via connection materials 5b, 5c. In addition, the semiconductor chip is sealed by a resin sealing body with mounting-surfaces of the metal plate terminals 6G, 6S being exposed. Mounting surfaces of the metal plate terminals 6G, 6S and a third part of the metal cap are bonded to electrodes on a mounting board 10 via connection materials 5e, 5f and 5g.
