  • Patent number: 11270971
    Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of suppressing propagation of a crack caused by a temperature cycle at a bonding part between a bonding pad and a bonding wire is provided. A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes a semiconductor chip having bonding pads and bonding wires. The bonding pad includes a barrier layer and a bonding layer formed on the barrier layer and formed of a material containing aluminum. The bonding wire is bonded to the bonding pad and formed of a material containing copper. An intermetallic compound layer formed of an intermetallic compound containing copper and aluminum is formed so as to reach the barrier layer from the bonding wire in at least a part of the bonding part between the bonding pad and the bonding wire.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10037966
    Abstract: The joint reliability in flip chip bonding of a semiconductor device is enhanced. Prior to flip chip bonding, flux 9 is applied to the solder bumps 5a for flip chip bonding over a substrate and reflow/cleaning is carried out and then flip chip bonding is carried out. This makes is possible to thin the oxide film over the surfaces of the solder bumps 5a and make the oxide film uniform. As a result, it is possible to suppress the production of local solder protrusions to reduce the production of solder bridges during flip chip bonding and enhance the joint reliability in the flip chip bonding of the semiconductor device.
