  • Patent number: 9177833
    Abstract: Conventional surface roughening plating technology cannot always improve the adhesion between a leadframe and a plating film and it depends on the material used for surface roughening plating. Conventional surface roughening technology by etching can only be used for leadframes made of limited materials. Improved adhesion cannot therefore be achieved between a metal member such as leadframe and a sealing resin. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device according to one embodiment is to carry out resin sealing using a metal member such as leadframe which has been subjected to alloying treatment of a base material and Zn plated on the surface thereof.

  • 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.
