Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a equipment for inspecting wire bond in which bonding state at a wire bonded part can be grasped accurately even when the bonding width is wide and the bonding strength is high between a power chip and a bonding wire. SOLUTION: In a wire bond tester T, a chip 3 bonded with a wire 2 undergoes shear test by means of a shear tester 1. The shear tester 1 detects shear strength every moment while shearing a wire bonded part 2a and delivers shear strength data to a data processing computer 4. The data processing computer 4 calculates an integrated value of shear strength based on the shear strength data and grasps bonding state at the wire bonded part 2a quantitatively and accurately based on the integrated value of shear strength. Furthermore, an image processing computer grasps the bonding state at the wire bonded part 2a quantitatively based on the image of a bonding flaw picked up by means of a camera.

Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ワイヤボンド検査装置及びワイヤボンド検査方法に関するものであって、とくにエネルギ効率に優れた長寿命な電力用半導体の製造に資するためのワイヤボンド検査装置及びワイヤボンド検査方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、電力用半導体装置においては、パワーチップと、アルミニウムや金などからなるボンディングワイヤとが接合(ワイヤボンド接合)されている。かかるワイヤボンド接合は、例えば、ボンディングワイヤがアルミワイヤである場合は、パワーチップ上にアルミワイヤを配置した上で、このアルミワイヤに荷重と超音波エネルギとを印加してパワーチップとアルミワイヤとを接合するなどといった手法で行われる。
【0003】
そして、かかるワイヤボンド接合が施された電力用半導体装置は、その品質ないしは信頼性を確保するために、適宜、その接合状態を検査しあるいは接合強度を測定することが必要である。そして、電力用半導体装置におけるパワーチップとボンディングワイヤとの接合状態の検査ないしは接合強度の測定、すなわちワイヤボンド検査は、従来、主としてプル強度テストないしはピールテストにより実施されている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、近年、パワーチップの長寿命化を図るためにパワーチップとボンディングワイヤとの接合幅(ワイヤつぶれ幅)が増加させられた結果、パワーチップとボンディングワイヤとの接合強度がかなり高くなっている。このため、プル強度テストないしはピールテストといった従来のワイヤボンド検査手法(接合状態確認手法)では、パワーチップとボンディングワイヤとの接合状態を定量的に把握することが困難であるといった問題がある。
【0005】
また、ボンディングワイヤのパワーチップとの接合部(以下、「ワイヤ接合部」という。)をカッター等でせん断し、せん断時にカッター等に加えられた荷重、例えば最大荷重でもって接合状態を検査し、あるいは接合強度を測定するといったシェアテストも、上記ワイヤボンド検査として用いられている(例えば、特開平2−307039号公報参照)。なお、特開平6−252220号公報には、パッドとはんだとのはんだ接続面の接合状態を検査するシェアテスタが開示されている。しかしながら、最大荷重でもって接合状態を検査した場合、ワイヤ接合部の中央部が充分に接合されていない状態と、該中央部が充分に接合されている状態とが、同一レベルの強度として測定されるので、これらの差異を検出することができないといった問題がある。
【0006】
なお、図5(a)に示すように、ワイヤ接合面10(ワイヤ接合痕)の接合領域10a内に比較的大きい未接合領域10bが存在する状態が、ワイヤ接合部の中央部が充分に接合されていない状態である。このような接合状態では、パワーサイクル寿命が比較的短くなる。
また、図5(b)に示すように、ワイヤ接合面10の接合領域10a内に存在する未接合領域10bが比較的小さい状態が、ワイヤ接合部の中央部が充分に接合されている状態である。このような接合状態では、パワーサイクル寿命が比較的長くなる。
【0007】
本発明は、上記従来の問題を解決するためになされたものであって、パワーチップとボンディングワイヤとの接合幅が長く、これらの接合強度が高い場合でも、ワイヤ接合部の接合状態(ワイヤ接合部の中央部の接合状態を含む)ないしは接合強度を正確に把握することができるワイヤボンド検査装置ないしはワイヤボンド検査方法を提供することを解決すべき課題とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するためになされた本発明の第1の態様にかかるワイヤボンド検査装置は、(i)ワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態をシェアテスタで検査する(すなわち、シェアテストを行う)ようになっているワイヤボンド検査装置において、(ii)シェアテスタが、ワイヤボンド接合部をせん断しつつ、経時的に複数のシェア強度を検出するようになっていて、(iii)シェアテスタによって検出されるシェア強度の時間に対する積分値を算出し、該積分値に基づいてワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態を定量的に把握するデータ処理用コンピュータが設けられていることを特徴とするものである。
【0009】
本発明の第2の態様にかかるワイヤボンド検査装置は、本発明の第1の態様にかかるワイヤボンド検査装置において、(iv)シェアテスタによってワイヤボンド接合部がせん断された後(すなわち、シェアテスト後)、せん断面の接合痕を撮影するカメラと、()カメラから出力される接合痕の画像データを取り込み、該画像データに二値化処理を施して、接合痕の面積と接合痕中のワイヤ残存部の面積とを算出し、接合痕の面積とワイヤ残存部の面積とに基づいてワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態を定量的に把握する画像処理用コンピュータとが設けられていることを特徴とするものである。なお、データ処理用コンピュータが画像処理用コンピュータを兼ねていてもよい。
【0010】
本発明の第の態様にかかるワイヤボンド検査装置は、本発明の第2の態様にかかるワイヤボンド検査装置において、画像処理用コンピュータが、ワイヤ残存部の面積と接合痕の面積との比に基づいてワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態を定量的に把握するようになっていることを特徴とするものである。
【0011】
本発明の第の態様にかかるワイヤボンド検査方法は、(i)シェアテスタを用いてワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態を検査するようにしたワイヤボンド検査方法において、(ii)シェアテスタでワイヤボンド接合部をせん断しつつ、経時的に複数のシェア強度を検出するステップと、(iii)シェアテスタによって検出されるシェア強度の時間に対する積分値を算出するステップと、(iv)前記積分値に基づいてワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態を定量的に把握するステップとを含んでいることを特徴とするものである。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を具体的に説明する。
なお、この実施の形態における電力用半導体装置は、詳しくは図示していないが、放熱を目的として配置された金属ベース板の表裏に、導電性のパターンが配置された絶縁基板等がハンダ付け等により搭載され、さらに絶縁基板のパターン上にパワーチップがハンダ付け等により搭載された積層構造のものである。
【0013】
図1に示すように、ワイヤボンドテスタT(ワイヤボンド検査装置)にはシェアテスタ1が設けられ、このシェアテスタ1は、電力用半導体装置(図示せず)のワイヤ2(アルミワイヤ)とチップ3(パワーチップ)とに対してシェアテストを施すようになっている。すなわち、シェアテスタ1は、その基台1bの上にチップ3を固定した上で、シェアテスタ先端部1a(カッター)で、ワイヤ2とチップ3との接合部2a(以下、「ワイヤ接合部2a」という。)をせん断し、せん断時における時々刻々のシェア強度、すなわちシェアテスタ先端部1aに加えられる荷重を測定することができるようになっている。
【0014】
また、このワイヤボンドテスタTにはデータ処理用コンピュータ4が設けられ、このデータ処理用コンピュータ4は、シェアテスタ1で測定されたシェア強度データ5に対して自動的に所定のデータ処理を施すようになっている。具体的には、シェアテスタ1から送られてくる時々刻々のシェア強度データ5(測定中のシェア強度推移データ)を積分処理し、シェア強度の時間についての積分値(以下、「シェア強度積分値」という。)を算出し、このシェア強度積分値に基づいてワイヤ2とチップ3との接合状態を検査し、あるいは接合強度を測定するようになっている。
【0015】
図2に示すように、ワイヤボンドテスタTには、さらにカメラ6(例えば、CCDカメラ、ビデオカメラ等)が設けられ、このカメラ6は、シェアテスタ1によってワイヤ接合部2aがせん断された後(すなわち、シェアテスト後)のチップ3上の接合痕7を撮影する。なお、接合痕7は、ワイヤ2の痕跡が残存しているワイヤ残存部7aと、ワイヤ2の痕跡が残存していないワイヤ非残存部7bとからなる。そして、カメラ6によって撮影された接合痕7の画像(画像データ)は、画像処理用コンピュータ8に送られる。画像処理用コンピュータ8は、カメラ6から送られてきた画像データに対して、自動的に二値化処理を施して接合痕7の面積とワイヤ残存部7aの面積とを算出することができるようになっている。なお、ワイヤ非残存部7bの面積は、接合痕7の面積からワイヤ残存部7aの面積を減算することにより求めることができる。
【0016】
以下、このワイヤボンドテスタTを用いたワイヤボンド検査方法を、具体的に説明する。
図3に示すように、アルミニウムからなるワイヤ2は、超音波ワイヤボンディングによりチップ3に接合されているが、該チップ3(パワーチップ)の長寿命化を図るために、チップ3とワイヤ2との接合幅(ワイヤつぶれ幅)、すなわち図3中における位置関係においてワイヤ接合部2aの左右の長さが比較的長くなっている。このため、ワイヤ2とチップ3との接合強度が高くなっている。したがって、従来のプル強度テストあるいはピールテストでは、接合状態ないしは接合強度を定量的に把握することは困難である。
【0017】
そして、ワイヤボンド検査(ワイヤボンド接合状態検査)を行う際には、まず、テストワイヤ2がボンディング(接合)されたチップ3(被接合部)を、シェアテスタ1の基台1b上の所定位置に固定して配置する。次に、シェアテスタ先端部1aを、ワイヤ2とチップ3との接合面に近接した位置においてワイヤ接合部2aに対して矢印Xで示す方向、すなわちせん断方向に一定速度で移動させ、ワイヤ接合部2aをせん断する。そして、せん断時における時々刻々のシェア強度、すなわちシェアテスタ先端部1aに加えられる荷重が検出(測定)される。このようにしてシェアテスタ1によって検出されたシェア強度データは、データ処理用コンピュータ4に送られる。
【0018】
データ処理用コンピュータ4では、シェアテスタ1から送られてくる時々刻々のシェア強度データ5を、自動的に、所定のソフトウエアを用いて積分処理し、シェア強度の時間についての積分値(以下、「シェア強度積分値」という。)を算出する。さらに、データ処理用コンピュータ4は、このシェア強度積分値に基づいて、自動的にワイヤ2とチップ3との接合状態を検査し、あるいは接合強度を測定する。
なお、シェアテスタ先端部1aは一定速度で移動するので、せん断長は時間に比例する。したがって、時間に代えてせん断長を用いてもよい。
【0019】
他方、シェアテスタ1によってワイヤ接合部2aがせん断されたチップ3上の接合痕7が、カメラ6によって撮影される。そして、カメラ6から出力される接合痕7の画像データは、画像処理用コンピュータ8に送られる。画像処理用コンピュータ8は、カメラ6から送られてきた画像データに対して、自動的に二値化処理を施して、接合痕7の面積とワイヤ残存部7aの面積とを算出する。そして、自動的にワイヤ残存部7aの面積と接合痕7の面積との比に基づいてワイヤ2とチップ3との接合状態ないしは接合強度を把握する。
なお、データ処理用コンピュータ4が画像処理用コンピュータ8を兼ねるようにしてもよい。
【0020】
図4(a)に、ワイヤ接合部2aの中央部の接合状態が悪いチップ3に対して前記のワイヤボンド検査が行われた場合における、接合痕7の状態と、シェア強度データ5、すなわちシェア強度の時間に対する変化特性とを示す。
また、図4(b)に、ワイヤ接合部2aの中央部の接合状態が良好なチップ3に対して前記のワイヤボンド検査が行われた場合における、接合痕7の状態と、シェア強度データ5とを示す。
【0021】
図4(a)から明らかなとおり、ワイヤ接合部2aの中央部の接合状態が悪い場合、すなわち接合面10の接合領域10a内に存在する未接合領域10bが比較的大きい場合は、ワイヤ残存部7aの面積と接合痕7の面積との比、すなわち、ワイヤ残存部7aの面積を接合痕7の面積で除算した値(以下、「残存面積比」という。)が比較的小さくなる。かつ、シェア強度積分値S1が比較的小さくなる。なお、接合領域10aと未接合領域10bとを含む接合面10は、ピンセット等を用いてワイヤ接合部2aをチップ3から引き剥がしたときにあらわれる接合痕である。
【0022】
他方、図4(b)から明らかなとおり、ワイヤ接合部2aの中央部の接合状態が良好な場合、すなわち接合面10の接合領域10a内に存在する未接合領域10bが比較的小さい場合(すなわち、ほぼ全面接合している場合)は、残存面積比が比較的大きくなる。かつ、シェア強度積分値S2が比較的大きくなる。
【0023】
つまり、このワイヤボンドテスタTないしはワイヤボンド検査方法によれば、ワイヤ接合部2aの中央部の接合状態が良好なときほど、残存面積比が大きくなり、かつシェア強度積分値が大きくなる。したがって、残存面積比及びシェア強度積分値の両方、あるいはそのいずれか一方に基づいて、自動的にワイヤ接合部2aの中央部の接合状態を定量的に把握することができる。なお、残存面積比及びシェア強度積分値の両方を用いれば、いずれか一方のみを用いる場合に比べて、接合状態をより正確に把握することができるのはもちろんである。
【0024】
以上、このワイヤボンドテスタTないしはワイヤボンド検査方法によれば、単純にシェア強度に基づいて、例えば最大シェア強度に基づいて接合状態を検査する場合に比べて、接合状態をより正確に定量的に把握することができる。したがって、このようにしてワイヤボンド検査が行われた製品と同等の製品についてチップ試験(パワーチップ試験)を実施してチップ寿命を測定し、そのチップの接合状態のデータとチップ寿命のデータとの相関性を求めることにより、このようなチップを組み込んだ製品、すなわち電力半導体装置の品質管理をより容易に、かつより精密に行うことができる。このため、チップの長寿命化を図ることができ、ひいては電力用半導体装置の信頼性を高めることができる。
【0025】
【発明の効果】
本発明の第1の態様にかかる、シェアテスタを備えたワイヤボンド検査装置によれば、データ処理用コンピュータによって、自動的に、シェア強度積分値に基づいてワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態が定量的に把握される。このため、チップとボンディングワイヤとの接合幅が長く、これらの接合強度が高い場合でも、ワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態ないしは接合強度を正確に、かつ容易に把握することができる。
【0026】
本発明の第2の態様にかかる、シェアテスタを備えたワイヤボンド検査装置によれば、データ処理用コンピュータによって、第1の態様にかかるワイヤボンド検査装置の場合と同様にワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態が定量的に把握される。さらに、画像処理用コンピュータによって、自動的に、接合痕の面積とワイヤ残存部の面積とに基づいてワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態が定量的に把握される。このため、チップとボンディングワイヤとの接合幅が長く、これらの接合強度が高い場合でも、ワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態ないしは接合強度を正確に、かつ容易に把握することができる。
【0027】
本発明の第の態様にかかる、シェアテスタを備えたワイヤボンド検査装置によれば、まずもって、本発明の第2の態様にかかるワイヤボンド検査装置の場合と同様の作用・効果が得られる。さらに、残存面積比(ワイヤ残存部の面積と接合痕の面積との単純な比)に基づいてワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態が把握されるので、画像処理用コンピュータの演算ロジックが簡素なものとなる。
【0028】
本発明の第の態様にかかる、シェアテスタを用いたワイヤボンド検査方法によれば、シェア強度積分値に基づいてワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態を定量的に把握することができる。このため、チップとボンディングワイヤとの接合幅が長く、これらの接合強度が高い場合でも、ワイヤボンド接合部の接合状態ないしは接合強度を正確に、かつ容易に把握することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a wire bond inspection apparatus and a wire bond inspection method, and more particularly to a wire bond inspection apparatus and a wire bond inspection method for contributing to the production of a long-life power semiconductor excellent in energy efficiency. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, in a power semiconductor device, a power chip and a bonding wire made of aluminum, gold, or the like are bonded (wire bond bonding). For example, when the bonding wire is an aluminum wire, the wire bonding is performed by placing a load and ultrasonic energy on the aluminum wire after placing the aluminum wire on the power chip. It is performed by a technique such as joining.
[0003]
In order to ensure the quality or reliability of the power semiconductor device subjected to such wire bond bonding, it is necessary to appropriately inspect the bonding state or measure the bonding strength. Conventionally, the inspection of the bonding state between the power chip and the bonding wire in the power semiconductor device or the measurement of the bonding strength, that is, the wire bond inspection, has been performed mainly by a pull strength test or a peel test.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in recent years, as a result of increasing the bonding width (wire crushing width) between the power chip and the bonding wire in order to extend the life of the power chip, the bonding strength between the power chip and the bonding wire is considerably increased. . For this reason, there is a problem that it is difficult to quantitatively grasp the bonding state between the power chip and the bonding wire in the conventional wire bond inspection method (bonding state confirmation method) such as a pull strength test or a peel test.
[0005]
Further, the bonding portion of the bonding wire with the power chip (hereinafter referred to as “wire bonding portion”) is sheared with a cutter or the like, and the bonding state is inspected with a load applied to the cutter or the like at the time of shearing, for example, the maximum load, Alternatively, a shear test in which the bonding strength is measured is also used as the wire bond inspection (for example, see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-307039). Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-252220 discloses a shear tester for inspecting the bonding state of the solder connection surface between the pad and the solder. However, when the bonding state is inspected with the maximum load, the state where the central portion of the wire bonding portion is not sufficiently bonded and the state where the central portion is sufficiently bonded are measured as the same level of strength. Therefore, there is a problem that these differences cannot be detected.
[0006]
As shown in FIG. 5 (a), the state in which the relatively large unbonded region 10b exists in the bonding region 10a of the wire bonding surface 10 (wire bonding trace) is sufficiently bonded at the center of the wire bonding portion. It is a state that has not been done. In such a joined state, the power cycle life is relatively short.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the state where the unbonded region 10b existing in the bonding region 10a of the wire bonding surface 10 is relatively small is the state where the central portion of the wire bonding portion is sufficiently bonded. is there. In such a joined state, the power cycle life is relatively long.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described conventional problems. Even when the bonding width between the power chip and the bonding wire is long and the bonding strength thereof is high, the bonding state of the wire bonding portion (wire bonding) It is an object to be solved to provide a wire bond inspection apparatus or a wire bond inspection method capable of accurately grasping the bonding strength).
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]

It is characterized by this. Note that the data processing computer may also serve as the image processing computer.
[0010]

[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described.

[0013]
As shown in FIG. 1, the wire bond tester T (wire bond inspection apparatus) is provided with a shear tester 1, and this shear tester 1 includes a wire 2 (aluminum wire) and a chip of a power semiconductor device (not shown). 3 (power chip) and share test. That is, in the shear tester 1, the chip 3 is fixed on the base 1b, and the shear tester tip 1a (cutter) is used to connect the wire 2 and the chip 3 to the joint 2a (hereinafter referred to as “wire joint 2a”). The shear strength at the time of shearing, that is, the load applied to the shear tester tip 1a can be measured.
[0014]
Further, the wire bond tester T is provided with a data processing computer 4, and the data processing computer 4 automatically performs predetermined data processing on the shear strength data 5 measured by the shear tester 1. It has become. Specifically, the share strength data 5 (share strength transition data being measured) sent from the shear tester 1 every moment is integrated, and the integral value of the share strength time (hereinafter referred to as “share strength integral value”). And the bonding state of the wire 2 and the chip 3 is inspected or the bonding strength is measured based on the integrated value of the shear strength.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 2, the wire bond tester T is further provided with a camera 6 (for example, a CCD camera, a video camera, etc.). The camera 6 is subjected to shearing of the wire joint 2 a by the shear tester 1 ( That is, the joint mark 7 on the chip 3 is photographed after the shear test. The bonding trace 7 includes a wire remaining portion 7a where the trace of the wire 2 remains and a wire non-remaining portion 7b where the trace of the wire 2 does not remain. The image (image data) of the joint mark 7 photographed by the camera 6 is sent to the image processing computer 8. The image processing computer 8 can automatically binarize the image data sent from the camera 6 to calculate the area of the bonding mark 7 and the area of the remaining wire portion 7a. It has become. The area of the wire non-remaining portion 7b can be obtained by subtracting the area of the wire remaining portion 7a from the area of the bonding trace 7.
[0016]
Hereinafter, a wire bond inspection method using this wire bond tester T will be specifically described.
As shown in FIG. 3, the wire 2 made of aluminum is bonded to the chip 3 by ultrasonic wire bonding. In order to extend the life of the chip 3 (power chip), the chip 3 and the wire 2 , The left and right lengths of the wire bonding portion 2a are relatively long in the positional relationship in FIG. For this reason, the bonding strength between the wire 2 and the chip 3 is high. Therefore, in the conventional pull strength test or peel test, it is difficult to quantitatively grasp the bonding state or bonding strength.
[0017]
When performing wire bond inspection (wire bond bonding state inspection), first, the chip 3 (bonded portion) to which the test wire 2 is bonded (bonded) is placed at a predetermined position on the base 1 b of the shear tester 1. Place it fixed to. Next, the shear tester tip 1a is moved at a constant speed in the direction indicated by the arrow X, that is, in the shear direction, with respect to the wire joint 2a at a position close to the joint surface between the wire 2 and the chip 3. Shear 2a. Then, the shear strength every moment during shearing, that is, the load applied to the shear tester tip 1a is detected (measured). The share strength data detected by the share tester 1 in this way is sent to the data processing computer 4.
[0018]
The data processing computer 4 automatically integrates the moment-in-time share strength data 5 sent from the share tester 1 by using predetermined software, and integrates the value of the share strength with respect to time (hereinafter, referred to as “intensity value”). "Share strength integrated value") is calculated. Further, the data processing computer 4 automatically inspects the bonding state of the wire 2 and the chip 3 or measures the bonding strength based on the shear strength integrated value.
Since the shear tester tip 1a moves at a constant speed, the shear length is proportional to time. Therefore, the shear length may be used instead of the time.
[0019]
On the other hand, a joint mark 7 on the chip 3 in which the wire joint portion 2 a is sheared by the shear tester 1 is photographed by the camera 6. The image data of the joint mark 7 output from the camera 6 is sent to the image processing computer 8. The image processing computer 8 automatically performs binarization processing on the image data sent from the camera 6 to calculate the area of the bonding trace 7 and the area of the remaining wire portion 7a. Then, the bonding state or bonding strength between the wire 2 and the chip 3 is automatically grasped based on the ratio between the area of the wire remaining portion 7a and the area of the bonding mark 7.
The data processing computer 4 may also serve as the image processing computer 8.
[0020]
FIG. 4A shows the state of the bonding mark 7 and the shear strength data 5, that is, the shear when the wire bond inspection is performed on the chip 3 having a poor bonding state at the center of the wire bonding portion 2a. The change characteristic with respect to time of an intensity | strength is shown.
FIG. 4B shows the state of the bonding marks 7 and the shear strength data 5 when the wire bond inspection is performed on the chip 3 in which the bonding state at the center of the wire bonding portion 2a is good. It shows.
[0021]
As apparent from FIG. 4A, when the bonding state of the central portion of the wire bonding portion 2a is poor, that is, when the unbonded region 10b existing in the bonding region 10a of the bonding surface 10 is relatively large, the wire remaining portion The ratio between the area of 7a and the area of the bonding mark 7, that is, the value obtained by dividing the area of the remaining wire portion 7a by the area of the bonding mark 7 (hereinafter referred to as “residual area ratio”) becomes relatively small. In addition, the share intensity integral value S1 becomes relatively small. The bonding surface 10 including the bonding area 10a and the non-bonding area 10b is a bonding mark that appears when the wire bonding portion 2a is peeled off from the chip 3 using tweezers or the like.
[0022]
On the other hand, as is apparent from FIG. 4B, when the bonding state of the central portion of the wire bonding portion 2a is good, that is, when the unbonded region 10b existing in the bonding region 10a of the bonding surface 10 is relatively small (that is, In the case of almost entire surface bonding), the remaining area ratio becomes relatively large. In addition, the share intensity integral value S2 becomes relatively large.
[0023]
That is, according to the wire bond tester T or the wire bond inspection method, the remaining area ratio increases and the shear strength integrated value increases as the bonding state of the central portion of the wire bonding portion 2a becomes better. Therefore, it is possible to automatically grasp the bonding state of the central portion of the wire bonding portion 2a automatically based on both or either of the remaining area ratio and the shear strength integrated value. Of course, if both the residual area ratio and the shear strength integrated value are used, it is possible to grasp the bonding state more accurately than when only one of them is used.
[0024]
As described above, according to the wire bond tester T or the wire bond inspection method, the bonding state is more accurately and quantitatively based on the shear strength, for example, compared to the case where the bonding state is inspected based on the maximum shear strength. I can grasp it. Therefore, a chip test (power chip test) is performed on a product equivalent to the product subjected to the wire bond inspection in this way to measure the chip life, and the bonding state data and chip life data of the chip are measured. By obtaining the correlation, quality control of a product incorporating such a chip, that is, a power semiconductor device, can be performed more easily and more precisely. For this reason, the life of the chip can be extended, and as a result, the reliability of the power semiconductor device can be improved.
[0025]
