Abstract
Description
本発明は、半導体装置に関し、特に、GaNを用いるパワーデバイスチップをフレームに搭載する場合のデバイスの実装構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, and more particularly to a device mounting structure when a power device chip using GaN is mounted on a frame.
GaN(窒化ガリウム)に代表される、バンドギャップが2eVを超えるワイドギャップ半導体を用いたデバイスは、従来のSiを用いるデバイスと比較して、低消費電力であり、高速スイッチングが可能という利点を備えている。これは、デバイスの絶縁破壊電界が大きいという理由による。 Devices using wide gap semiconductors with a band gap exceeding 2 eV, represented by GaN (gallium nitride), have the advantages of low power consumption and high-speed switching compared with devices using conventional Si. ing. This is because the breakdown electric field of the device is large.
一般に、デバイスの耐圧はドリフト層の長さ(WD)と絶縁破壊電界(Ec)の積により表される。従って、耐圧を同じとした場合、絶縁破壊電界が大きい方がドリフト層の長さを短くできる。ここで、ワイドギャップ半導体において、絶縁破壊電界はSiよりも10倍程度高いため、ドリフト層の長さをおよそ1/10にすることができる。また、不純物濃度は絶縁破壊電界の2乗に比例するため、Siと比べて100倍に高くすることができる。以上より、耐圧を同じとした場合、ワイドギャップ半導体を用いたデバイスのオン抵抗(Ron)は、Siを用いるデバイスと比較して約1/1000に低抵抗化が可能となる。 In general, the breakdown voltage of a device is represented by the product of the drift layer length (WD) and the breakdown electric field (Ec). Therefore, when the breakdown voltage is the same, the length of the drift layer can be shortened when the breakdown electric field is large. Here, in the wide gap semiconductor, since the dielectric breakdown electric field is about 10 times higher than Si, the length of the drift layer can be reduced to about 1/10. Further, since the impurity concentration is proportional to the square of the dielectric breakdown electric field, it can be made 100 times higher than Si. As described above, when the breakdown voltage is the same, the on-resistance (Ron) of the device using the wide gap semiconductor can be reduced to about 1/1000 compared to the device using Si.
一方、デバイスの高速応答性を表す指標として、遮断周波数(fT)という指標がある。当該遮断周波数はデバイスの電流利得が1となる周波数であり、ドリフト層の長さWDに反比例する。従って、ワイドギャップ半導体を用いるデバイスでは、ドリフト層の長さをSiと比べて1/10に設定できることにより、Siよりも一桁高い周波数で使用することが可能となる。 On the other hand, there is an index called cutoff frequency (fT) as an index representing the high-speed response of the device. The cutoff frequency is a frequency at which the current gain of the device is 1, and is inversely proportional to the length WD of the drift layer. Therefore, in a device using a wide gap semiconductor, since the length of the drift layer can be set to 1/10 compared to Si, it can be used at a frequency one digit higher than Si.
このように、ワイドギャップ半導体を用いることで、Siと比較してオン抵抗が低く、結果低消費電力で、且つ、高速性に優れたデバイスが可能である。 As described above, by using a wide gap semiconductor, a device having a low on-resistance as compared with Si, resulting in low power consumption and excellent high-speed performance is possible.
上記のワイドギャップ半導体を用いるデバイスの実装方法として、下記特許文献1および2に示すように、ドレインリードとダイパッドを接続したリードフレームのダイパッド上にデバイスを固定し、デバイスとドレインリード、ソースリード、及び、ゲートリードとの接続をワイヤボンディングにより行う方法が、従来より用いられてきた。 As a device mounting method using the above wide gap semiconductor, as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the device is fixed on the die pad of the lead frame in which the drain lead and the die pad are connected, and the device and the drain lead, the source lead, A method of connecting to the gate lead by wire bonding has been conventionally used.
図8に、かかる従来構成の方法でチップ実装を行う場合の樹脂封止(モールド)される前のリードフレームとGaNチップ30とのワイヤボンディングの状態を示す平面図を示す。 FIG. 8 is a plan view showing a state of wire bonding between the lead frame and the GaN chip 30 before resin sealing (molding) when chip mounting is performed by the method of the conventional configuration.
従来例では、図8に示すように、ドレインリード16とダイパッド14が一体成形されたリードフレームを用いて、ドレイン端子12とドレインリード16の接続が、ドレイン端子12とダイパッド14をワイヤボンディングすることによりなされている。一方、ソースリード15及びゲートリード17は、夫々、ダイパッド14と分離形成され、ソースリード15とソース端子11、ゲートリード17とゲート端子13との接続が、ワイヤボンディングによりなされている。 In the conventional example, as shown in FIG. 8, using a lead frame in which the drain lead 16 and the die pad 14 are integrally formed, the drain terminal 12 and the drain lead 16 are connected by wire bonding the drain terminal 12 and the die pad 14. It is made by. On the other hand, the source lead 15 and the gate lead 17 are formed separately from the die pad 14, and the source lead 15 and the source terminal 11 and the gate lead 17 and the gate terminal 13 are connected by wire bonding.
従来のSiパワーデバイスでは、ゲート注入電荷量Qgが大きいため、寄生発振が起こるような大きなインダクタンスは回路側で対応が可能であり、デバイス実装において、回路の寄生インダクタンスについて特別の注意を払う必要がなかった。 In the conventional Si power device, since the gate injection charge amount Qg is large, a large inductance that causes parasitic oscillation can be dealt with on the circuit side, and it is necessary to pay special attention to the parasitic inductance of the circuit when mounting the device. There wasn't.
ところが、GaNを用いたデバイスでは、ゲート注入電荷量Qgが非常に小さいため、単なる配線の寄生インダクタンスであってもゲート電圧が発振する虞がある。すなわち、一般に用いられるソースリード、ドレインリード、ゲートリードの長さにより生じる寄生インダクタンスであっても、ゲート電圧の発振が問題になる。 However, in a device using GaN, since the gate injection charge amount Qg is very small, there is a possibility that the gate voltage oscillates even if the parasitic inductance of the wiring is simple. That is, oscillation of the gate voltage becomes a problem even with the parasitic inductance caused by the length of the commonly used source lead, drain lead, and gate lead.
これに対し、ゲート抵抗として大きなものをゲート端子に接続することで発振は抑制できるが、GaNの低消費電力、高速応答性の長所を生かすことができない結果となる。 On the other hand, oscillation can be suppressed by connecting a large gate resistance to the gate terminal, but the advantages of low power consumption and high-speed response of GaN cannot be utilized.
本発明は、上記の状況に鑑み、GaNを用いたデバイスにおいて、大きなゲート抵抗を付加することなく寄生発振を抑制できるように、デバイス実装構造の面から寄生インダクタンスの低減を実現するものであり、これにより、GaNの特徴である低消費電力、高速応答特性を生かしたパワーデバイスを実現することを目的とする。 In view of the above situation, the present invention realizes a reduction in parasitic inductance from the surface of a device mounting structure so that parasitic oscillation can be suppressed without adding a large gate resistance in a device using GaN. Accordingly, it is an object to realize a power device that takes advantage of the low power consumption and high-speed response characteristics that are characteristic of GaN.

本発明者等は、鋭意研究により、ソース側配線の寄生インダクタンスを小さくすることで、発振が抑制され、ゲート電圧のオンオフに対して安定なスイッチングが可能になることを見出した。 The inventors of the present invention have intensively researched and found that by reducing the parasitic inductance of the source-side wiring, oscillation is suppressed and stable switching can be performed with respect to on / off of the gate voltage.
図9にシミュレーションに用いた回路の構成を示す。Ld、Ls1、Ls2、Lgsは夫々配線の寄生インダクタンスであり、Cgd,Cgs,Cdsは夫々GaN−FETの寄生容量である。図9において、FETがオンからオフに、オフからオンに切り替わると、LdからCoss、Ls1、及びLs2を介したLC直列回路が共振する。結果、Ls1の両端電圧が振動する。かかるLs1の両端電圧の振動は、ゲートドライバにとって電圧ノイズ源となる。 FIG. 9 shows the configuration of the circuit used for the simulation. Ld, Ls1, Ls2, and Lgs are parasitic inductances of wirings, respectively, and Cgd, Cgs, and Cds are parasitic capacitances of GaN-FETs. In FIG. 9, when the FET is switched from on to off and from off to on, the LC series circuit from Ld to Coss, Ls1, and Ls2 resonates. As a result, the voltage across Ls1 vibrates. Such oscillation of the voltage across Ls1 becomes a voltage noise source for the gate driver.
更に、Ls1の両端電圧が振動することにより、CgsとLs1を介したLC直列回路が共振し、ゲート電圧Vgが振動する。この結果、FETの意図しないオンオフが繰り返され、これが更にLdからCoss、Ls1、及びLs2を介したLC直列回路の共振を引き起こす。 Furthermore, when the voltage across Ls1 vibrates, the LC series circuit via Cgs and Ls1 resonates, and the gate voltage Vg vibrates. As a result, unintended ON / OFF of the FET is repeated, which further causes resonance of the LC series circuit from Ld to Coss, Ls1, and Ls2.
このように、LdからCoss、Ls1、及びLs2を介したLC直列回路の共振と、CgsとLs1を介したLC直列回路の共振が相互に誘起される結果、ゲート電圧Vgの振動が増幅され、スイッチングノイズが増加し、最悪の場合FETが発振して回路が破壊される虞がある。 As described above, the resonance of the LC series circuit via Loss and Coss, Ls1, and Ls2 and the resonance of the LC series circuit via Cgs and Ls1 are mutually induced. As a result, the oscillation of the gate voltage Vg is amplified. The switching noise increases, and in the worst case, the FET may oscillate and the circuit may be destroyed.
上記のLC回路による共振を防ぐには、LdとLs1(及び、Ls2)をできる限り小さくすればよいことが推察される。 It can be inferred that Ld and Ls1 (and Ls2) should be as small as possible in order to prevent resonance by the LC circuit.
図10は、ソース側配線の寄生インダクタンスLs1、及び、ドレイン側配線の寄生インダクタンスLdを変えた場合の、スイッチング時のゲート電圧の立ち上がり、立ち下がりの電圧変化をシミュレーションした結果である。図10より、ドレイン側配線の寄生インダクタンスLdを小さくする(図10(b))よりも、むしろソース側配線の寄生インダクタンスLs1を小さくした(図10(a))方が、ゲート電圧の振動防止に著しい効果があることが分かる。 FIG. 10 shows the result of simulating the rise and fall of the gate voltage during switching when the parasitic inductance Ls1 of the source side wiring and the parasitic inductance Ld of the drain side wiring are changed. From FIG. 10, the gate voltage oscillation is prevented by reducing the parasitic inductance Ls1 of the source wiring (FIG. 10A) rather than reducing the parasitic inductance Ld of the drain wiring (FIG. 10B). It can be seen that there is a remarkable effect.
図11は、図10においてFETに生じる電力損失(=Ifet*Vd)を示す図であり、図11より、ドレイン側配線の寄生インダクタンスLdを小さくする(図11(b))よりも、ソース側配線の寄生インダクタンスLs1を小さくした(図11(a))方が、損失も少ないことが分かる。 FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the power loss (= Ifet * Vd) generated in the FET in FIG. 10, and the parasitic inductance Ld of the drain side wiring is made smaller than that in FIG. 11 (FIG. 11 (b)). It can be seen that the loss is smaller when the parasitic inductance Ls1 of the wiring is reduced (FIG. 11A).
上記の知見に基づき、本発明では、デバイスの実装方法を変更し、表面実装型のデバイス実装構造において、GaNチップ裏面をダイパッド部の表面と電気的に接続し、かかるダイパッド部とデバイスのソース端子との接続をワイヤボンディングにより行うこととした。ダイパッド部は、裏面が露出しており、プリント基板上の電極パッド(ソースパッド)と電気的に接続可能に構成されている。 Based on the above knowledge, in the present invention, the device mounting method is changed, and in the surface mounting type device mounting structure, the back surface of the GaN chip is electrically connected to the surface of the die pad portion, and the die pad portion and the source terminal of the device are connected. It was decided to make a connection with the wire bonding. The back surface of the die pad portion is exposed, and the die pad portion can be electrically connected to an electrode pad (source pad) on the printed circuit board.
このような構成とした場合、ダイパッド部の厚みが従来構成におけるソースリードの長さに相当するため、ソース側配線の寄生インダクタンスが大幅に低減され、ゲート電圧の発振を抑制できる。また、従来のソースリードがダイパッド厚みまで短くなるため、オン抵抗を小さくすることができる。 In such a configuration, since the thickness of the die pad portion corresponds to the length of the source lead in the conventional configuration, the parasitic inductance of the source side wiring is greatly reduced, and oscillation of the gate voltage can be suppressed. Further, since the conventional source lead is shortened to the die pad thickness, the on-resistance can be reduced.
さらに、従来のダイパッドとドレインリードを一体成形した構造と比較して、GaNチップのソース端子とチップ裏面の電位差を小さくできるため、チップ裏面からのリーク電流を減らすことができる。また、ゲート−ソース間のループ電流が小さくなることでソース配線の寄生インダクタンスに起因した電圧変動(誘導電圧)が抑制され、Cgsを介したLC直列回路の発振を抑えることができる。 Furthermore, since the potential difference between the source terminal of the GaN chip and the back surface of the chip can be reduced as compared with the structure in which the conventional die pad and drain lead are integrally formed, the leakage current from the back surface of the chip can be reduced. Further, since the loop current between the gate and the source is reduced, voltage fluctuation (induced voltage) due to the parasitic inductance of the source wiring is suppressed, and oscillation of the LC series circuit via Cgs can be suppressed.
従って、本発明に依れば、GaNを用いたデバイスにおいて、大きなゲート抵抗を付加することなく寄生発振を抑制でき、GaNの特徴である低消費電力、高速応答特性を生かしたパワーデバイスを実現することができる。 Therefore, according to the present invention, in a device using GaN, parasitic oscillation can be suppressed without adding a large gate resistance, and a power device utilizing the low power consumption and high-speed response characteristics of GaN is realized. be able to.
本発明のチップ実装構造を有する半導体装置10の構成例を図1〜図3に示す。図1〜図3は、半導体装置10の実装後の形態を示す模式図である。図1は、樹脂封止(モールド)される前のリードフレームとGaNチップとのワイヤボンディングの状態を示す平面図である。図2は、樹脂封止後の半導体装置10をプリント基板上に実装した状態を示す鳥瞰図である。また、図3は図1及び図2のA−A’方向(ドレイン端子12及びドレインリード16上で、ドレインリード16に平行な方向)並びにB−B’方向(ソース端子11上で、ドレインリード16に平行な方向)のプリント基板31に垂直な面における断面図である。なお、以降の実施形態の説明に用いる図面では、同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付すこととし、また、名称及び機能も同一であるので、同様の説明を繰り返すことはしない。 A configuration example of the semiconductor device 10 having the chip mounting structure of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 are schematic views showing a form after the semiconductor device 10 is mounted. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a state of wire bonding between a lead frame and a GaN chip before resin sealing (molding). FIG. 2 is a bird's-eye view showing a state where the semiconductor device 10 after resin sealing is mounted on a printed board. 3 shows the direction of AA ′ (on the drain terminal 12 and the drain lead 16 and the direction parallel to the drain lead 16) and the direction of BB ′ (on the source terminal 11, the drain lead of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2). 16 is a cross-sectional view in a plane perpendicular to the printed circuit board 31 (in a direction parallel to 16). In the drawings used for the description of the following embodiments, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the names and functions are also the same, so the same description will not be repeated.
半導体装置10は、GaNを用いて構成されるパワーデバイスであり、基板表面側に、ソース端子11、ドレイン端子12、ゲート端子13が形成されたチップ30を備える。 The semiconductor device 10 is a power device configured using GaN, and includes a chip 30 on which a source terminal 11, a drain terminal 12, and a gate terminal 13 are formed on the substrate surface side.
一例として、GaNを用いるパワーデバイスのデバイス構造の模式的な断面図を図4に示す。図4に示すデバイスは、HEMT(High Electron Mobility Transistor)構造のFETであり、Si基板20上に、AlとGaの組成比が異なるAlGaNの多層膜からなるバッファ層21を介してGaN層22が積層され、GaN層22の上にAlGaNの層23が積層されている。GaN層22上の所定の領域には、AlGaN層23を貫通するようにソース電極24とドレイン電極25が形成され、ゲート電極26が、AlGaN層23上の所定の領域に、ソース電極24とドレイン電極25がゲート電極26を挟んで互いに対向するように形成されている。ドレイン電極25は、絶縁膜27上に形成されたドレイン端子12と、コンタクトホール28を介して電気的に接続される。同様に、図示しないが、ソース電極24は、別の断面において、絶縁膜27上に形成されたソース端子11と電気的に接続され、ゲート電極25は、更に別の断面において、絶縁膜27上に形成されたゲート端子13と電気的に接続される。 As an example, FIG. 4 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a device structure of a power device using GaN. The device shown in FIG. 4 is an FET having a HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistor) structure, and a GaN layer 22 is formed on a Si substrate 20 via a buffer layer 21 made of an AlGaN multilayer film having different composition ratios of Al and Ga. The AlGaN layer 23 is laminated on the GaN layer 22. A source electrode 24 and a drain electrode 25 are formed in a predetermined region on the GaN layer 22 so as to penetrate the AlGaN layer 23, and a gate electrode 26 is formed in the predetermined region on the AlGaN layer 23. The electrodes 25 are formed so as to face each other with the gate electrode 26 interposed therebetween. The drain electrode 25 is electrically connected to the drain terminal 12 formed on the insulating film 27 through the contact hole 28. Similarly, although not shown, the source electrode 24 is electrically connected to the source terminal 11 formed on the insulating film 27 in another cross section, and the gate electrode 25 is formed on the insulating film 27 in another cross section. Are electrically connected to the gate terminal 13 formed in the circuit.
AlGaN層23とGaN層22とのヘテロ接合界面近傍において、2次元電子ガス層29が形成され、ゲート電極26に電圧(ゲート電圧)を印加することで、かかるゲート電極26の下方の2次元電子ガス層29の濃度が変調され、ソース電極24とドレイン電極25間に流れる電流が制御される。通常の使用では、ドレイン電極25には、ソース電極24に対して200V〜600V程度の高電圧が印加される。また、図4に示すデバイスは、ドレイン電極25に印加される電圧とゲート電圧との差が高電圧となるため、放電しないようにゲート電極26とドレイン電極25との距離を、ゲート電極26とソース電極24との距離よりも大きくとり、ゲート電極26がドレイン電極25よりもソース電極24側に片寄って配置された非対称なデバイス構造を有している。 In the vicinity of the heterojunction interface between the AlGaN layer 23 and the GaN layer 22, a two-dimensional electron gas layer 29 is formed. By applying a voltage (gate voltage) to the gate electrode 26, two-dimensional electrons below the gate electrode 26 are formed. The concentration of the gas layer 29 is modulated, and the current flowing between the source electrode 24 and the drain electrode 25 is controlled. In normal use, a high voltage of about 200 V to 600 V is applied to the drain electrode 25 with respect to the source electrode 24. In the device shown in FIG. 4, since the difference between the voltage applied to the drain electrode 25 and the gate voltage becomes a high voltage, the distance between the gate electrode 26 and the drain electrode 25 is set so as not to discharge. The device has an asymmetric device structure in which the gate electrode 26 is arranged closer to the source electrode 24 side than the drain electrode 25 with a distance greater than the distance from the source electrode 24.
図1〜図3に戻って、チップ30は、図3に示す導電性の接着材料33によりダイパッド14の表面に固定されている。図1に示すように、ダイパッド14に隣接して、ドレインリード16、及び、ゲートリード17が配置され、ドレインリード16はチップ30のドレイン端子12と、ゲートリード17はチップ30のゲート端子13と、夫々ワイヤ接続(ワイヤボンディング)されている。さらに、ダイパッド14の表面側で、ソース端子11とダイパッド14との接続がワイヤボンディングによりなされている。そして、図1の点線で示す領域18内において、ワイヤ接続される部分を覆うように封止樹脂34で封止がされ、半導体装置10がパッケージされる。 1 to 3, the chip 30 is fixed to the surface of the die pad 14 by the conductive adhesive material 33 shown in FIG. 3. As shown in FIG. 1, a drain lead 16 and a gate lead 17 are disposed adjacent to the die pad 14. The drain lead 16 is connected to the drain terminal 12 of the chip 30, and the gate lead 17 is connected to the gate terminal 13 of the chip 30. These are respectively connected by wires (wire bonding). Further, the source terminal 11 and the die pad 14 are connected by wire bonding on the surface side of the die pad 14. Then, in a region 18 indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 1, the semiconductor device 10 is packaged by sealing with a sealing resin 34 so as to cover a wire-connected portion.
このようにしてパッケージされた半導体装置10は、ダイパッド14の裏面に露出部分19を有している。本実施形態では、半導体装置10は、ダイパッド14の裏面がモールド材により覆わる領域を除いて、ダイパッド14の裏面の金属部分が露出してプリント基板31上の電極パッドと電気的に接続可能に構成されている。図2及び図3に示すように、ドレインリード16、及び、ゲートリード17を、夫々、プリント基板31上に形成された配線(電極パッド)32a、32bと接続し、ダイパッド14の裏面のかかる露出部分を、プリント基板31上に形成された配線(ソースパッド)32cと接続することで、プリント基板31上に半導体装置10が実装される。 The semiconductor device 10 packaged in this way has an exposed portion 19 on the back surface of the die pad 14. In the present embodiment, the semiconductor device 10 can be electrically connected to the electrode pad on the printed circuit board 31 by exposing the metal portion of the back surface of the die pad 14 except for the region where the back surface of the die pad 14 is covered with the molding material. It is configured. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the drain lead 16 and the gate lead 17 are connected to wirings (electrode pads) 32 a and 32 b formed on the printed circuit board 31, respectively, and the back surface of the die pad 14 is exposed. The semiconductor device 10 is mounted on the printed circuit board 31 by connecting the portion with a wiring (source pad) 32 c formed on the printed circuit board 31.
半導体装置10では、ソース端子11とプリント基板31上のソースパッド32cとの接続が、ソース端子11とダイパッド14とをワイヤボンディングし、ダイパッド14の裏面の露出部分をソースパッド32cに接触することによりなされている。つまり、ダイパッド14は、従来構成(図8)におけるソースリードに相当するものである。しかしながら、ダイパッド14内において電流は平板内を主として膜厚方向に流れるため、ダイパッド14で生じる寄生インダクタンスは非常に小さくなる。 In the semiconductor device 10, the source terminal 11 and the source pad 32 c on the printed circuit board 31 are connected by wire bonding the source terminal 11 and the die pad 14, and the exposed portion on the back surface of the die pad 14 is brought into contact with the source pad 32 c. Has been made. That is, the die pad 14 corresponds to the source lead in the conventional configuration (FIG. 8). However, since the current flows in the die pad 14 mainly in the film thickness direction in the flat plate, the parasitic inductance generated in the die pad 14 becomes very small.
このとき、ソース端子11とダイパッド14とのワイヤボンディングにおけるダイパッド14側のワイヤとの接続位置(図3の位置X)は、その対応する裏面側が露出している位置に設定されている。これにより、ワイヤからソースパッド32cに流れるダイパッド14内の電流経路が最短となり、ダイパッド14内における電流の殆どは膜厚方向に流れる。この結果、ダイパッド14内において平板に平行に流れる電流成分を最低限にでき、平板に平行に流れる電流の寄生インダクタンスへの寄与を最小限にできる。 At this time, the connection position (position X in FIG. 3) of the wire on the die pad 14 side in wire bonding between the source terminal 11 and the die pad 14 is set to a position where the corresponding back surface side is exposed. As a result, the current path in the die pad 14 flowing from the wire to the source pad 32c becomes the shortest, and most of the current in the die pad 14 flows in the film thickness direction. As a result, the current component flowing parallel to the flat plate in the die pad 14 can be minimized, and the contribution of the current flowing parallel to the flat plate to the parasitic inductance can be minimized.
つまり、ダイパッド14の厚みが従来構成におけるソースリードの長さに相当するため、ソース側配線の寄生インダクタンスが大幅に低減され、ゲート電圧の発振を抑制できる。 That is, since the thickness of the die pad 14 corresponds to the length of the source lead in the conventional configuration, the parasitic inductance of the source side wiring is greatly reduced, and the oscillation of the gate voltage can be suppressed.
具体的には、従来のソースリードの長さを15mm、ダイパッドの厚みを1.5mmとして、インダクダンスが電流経路の長さに比例するとした場合、寄生インダクタンスを1/10に低減できる。 Specifically, when the length of the conventional source lead is 15 mm and the thickness of the die pad is 1.5 mm and the inductance is proportional to the length of the current path, the parasitic inductance can be reduced to 1/10.
さらに、半導体装置10では、ソース端子11とダイパッド14がワイヤボンディングされて接続されているため、ダイパッド14を介して基板20の電位がソース電圧に固定され、これにより、チップ裏面とソース電極24との間を、基板20、バッファ層21、及びGaN層22の端部側壁を経由して流れるリーク電流を低減できる。 Further, in the semiconductor device 10, since the source terminal 11 and the die pad 14 are connected by wire bonding, the potential of the substrate 20 is fixed to the source voltage via the die pad 14, whereby the chip back surface, the source electrode 24, Leakage current flowing between the substrate 20, the buffer layer 21, and the end side walls of the GaN layer 22 can be reduced.
図5に、ソース端子11を介してソース電極24に印加するソース電圧を基準として、基板20に与える電圧Vsubを変化させたときの、ドレイン電圧Vdとチップ裏面に流れるリーク電流Isubとの依存性を示す。図5から、基板20の電位とソース電圧に電位差があるとリーク電流が大きくなり、基板20の電位をソース電圧と同電位とすることにより、リーク電流を大幅に抑制できることが分かる。 FIG. 5 shows the dependence of the drain voltage Vd and the leakage current Isub flowing on the back surface of the chip when the voltage Vsub applied to the substrate 20 is changed with reference to the source voltage applied to the source electrode 24 via the source terminal 11. Indicates. From FIG. 5, it can be seen that if there is a potential difference between the potential of the substrate 20 and the source voltage, the leakage current increases, and the leakage current can be significantly suppressed by making the potential of the substrate 20 the same as the source voltage.
なお、かかるリーク電流の防止の観点からは、ソース電極24を、ドレイン電極25の全周を囲むようにチップの周辺部に配置するとよい。これにより、チップ30の端部側壁を経由してチップ裏面とドレイン電極間に流れるリーク電流のパスが存在しないため、リーク電流を効果的に抑制できる。 From the viewpoint of preventing such a leakage current, the source electrode 24 may be disposed in the peripheral portion of the chip so as to surround the entire circumference of the drain electrode 25. As a result, there is no leakage current path flowing between the chip back surface and the drain electrode via the end side wall of the chip 30, so that the leakage current can be effectively suppressed.
さらに、図1に示す半導体装置10では、チップ30をダイパッド14の中央に配置せず、ドレイン端子12とドレインリード16の距離が最適化されるように、チップ30のダイパッド14上の位置を、ドレインリード16側に片寄らせ、且つ、ドレインリード16が延伸する直線の延長線上にドレイン端子12があるように配置している。ドレイン端子12の平面レイアウト形状が長方形である場合、ドレイン端子12の長手方向に対して略平行となるようにドレインリード15を配置し、チップをドレインリード16に近づけて配置するとよい。これにより、ドレイン端子12とドレインリード16とをワイヤボンディングするワイヤの曲げ角を小さくでき、また、長さを短くできる。この結果、ソース配線側の寄生インダクタンスと併せて、ドレイン配線側の寄生インダクタンスを低減することが可能になる。 Further, in the semiconductor device 10 shown in FIG. 1, the position of the chip 30 on the die pad 14 is adjusted so that the distance between the drain terminal 12 and the drain lead 16 is optimized without arranging the chip 30 in the center of the die pad 14. The drain terminal 16 is shifted toward the drain lead 16 side, and the drain terminal 12 is arranged on a straight line extending from the drain lead 16. When the planar layout of the drain terminal 12 is rectangular, the drain lead 15 may be disposed so as to be substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the drain terminal 12 and the chip may be disposed close to the drain lead 16. Thereby, the bending angle of the wire for wire bonding the drain terminal 12 and the drain lead 16 can be reduced, and the length can be shortened. As a result, the parasitic inductance on the drain wiring side can be reduced together with the parasitic inductance on the source wiring side.
また、ゲート端子13とゲートリード17とをワイヤボンディングするワイヤの長さを短くするため、ゲート端子13をゲートリード17に近づけて配置することが好ましい。 Further, in order to shorten the length of the wire for wire bonding the gate terminal 13 and the gate lead 17, it is preferable to arrange the gate terminal 13 close to the gate lead 17.
なお、図1では、ソース端子11がチップ中央部に配置され、ドレイン端子がチップ周辺領域(図1の右側)に配置されているため、ドレインリード16を図1の右側に、ドレイン端子12の長手方向と平行になるように配置しているが、ドレイン端子12がチップ中央部に配置されるチップ構成の場合には、例えば図6に示すように、ドレインリード16がダイパッド14に対して中央に位置するようにダイパッド14と分離形成されたリードフレームを採用し、チップ30のダイパッド14上の位置をドレインリード16側に片寄らせ、且つ、ドレインリード16が延伸する直線の延長線上にドレイン端子12があるように配置するとよい。 In FIG. 1, since the source terminal 11 is disposed in the center of the chip and the drain terminal is disposed in the chip peripheral region (right side in FIG. 1), the drain lead 16 is disposed on the right side in FIG. Although arranged so as to be parallel to the longitudinal direction, in the case of a chip configuration in which the drain terminal 12 is arranged at the center of the chip, for example, as shown in FIG. A lead frame separated from the die pad 14 so as to be positioned at the position is adopted, the position on the die pad 14 of the chip 30 is shifted to the drain lead 16 side, and the drain terminal is on a linear extension line extending the drain lead 16 12 may be arranged.
さらに、半導体装置10の他の実装例を図7の樹脂封止前の平面図に示す。図7では、ドレインリード16の領域18との重なり部分、即ちドレインリード16内の樹脂封止される部分(インナーリード)の面積を、ゲートリード17の領域18との重なり部分、即ちゲートリード17内の樹脂封止される部分の面積よりも大きくしている。上記ドレインリード16(ゲートリード17)の樹脂封止される部分は、ワイヤボンディングが可能な部分の面積に相当する。ドレインリード16のワイヤボンディング可能な部分の面積を大きくすることで、ドレインリード16とドレイン端子12との接続を、複数のワイヤを介して行うことが可能になるため、ソース配線側の寄生インダクタンスと併せて、ドレイン配線側の寄生インダクタンスを低減することが可能になる。これにより、ゲート電圧の発振を防止できるとともに、オン抵抗を削減することができる。 Further, another mounting example of the semiconductor device 10 is shown in a plan view before resin sealing in FIG. In FIG. 7, the area of the portion of the drain lead 16 that overlaps the region 18, that is, the area of the drain lead 16 that is sealed with resin (inner lead) is the same as the portion of the gate lead 17 that overlaps the region 18, ie, the gate lead 17. The area is larger than the area of the resin-sealed portion. The resin-sealed portion of the drain lead 16 (gate lead 17) corresponds to the area of the portion where wire bonding is possible. By increasing the area of the portion of the drain lead 16 that can be wire bonded, the drain lead 16 and the drain terminal 12 can be connected via a plurality of wires. In addition, the parasitic inductance on the drain wiring side can be reduced. As a result, oscillation of the gate voltage can be prevented and on-resistance can be reduced.
ところで、本発明では、ドレインリード16はドレイン端子12とワイヤボンディングされる。このため、ドレインリード16とダイパッド14が一体成形され、ドレイン端子12とダイパッド14をワイヤボンディングされる従来の構成(図8)と比較すると、ドレイン配線の寄生インダクタンスはかえって増加する場合がある。しかしながら、図10より、ソース配線側の寄生インダクタンス(図9のLs1)を低減することが、ドレイン配線側の寄生インダクタンス(図9のLd)を低減することよりも、ゲート電圧の発振を抑制するという点において重要であることが示されている。別の言い方をすると、図10は、ゲート電圧の発振を抑制するという点において、ソース配線側の寄生インダクタンスを低減することで、ドレイン配線の寄生インダクタンスが増加することによるデメリットをはるかに上回るメリットが得られることを示すものである。そして、本発明は、これを積極的に利用するものである。 In the present invention, the drain lead 16 is wire-bonded to the drain terminal 12. For this reason, when compared with the conventional configuration (FIG. 8) in which the drain lead 16 and the die pad 14 are integrally formed and the drain terminal 12 and the die pad 14 are wire-bonded, the parasitic inductance of the drain wiring may increase. However, from FIG. 10, reducing the parasitic inductance on the source wiring side (Ls1 in FIG. 9) suppresses the oscillation of the gate voltage than reducing the parasitic inductance on the drain wiring side (Ld in FIG. 9). In that respect. In other words, FIG. 10 is advantageous in that the parasitic inductance on the source wiring side is reduced and the disadvantage due to the increase in the parasitic inductance of the drain wiring is greatly reduced in that the oscillation of the gate voltage is suppressed. It shows that it is obtained. And this invention utilizes this positively.
以上、本発明の半導体装置10では、GaNを用いたパワーデバイスの実装において、表面実装型のデバイス実装構造を採用し、GaNチップ裏面をダイパッド14の表面と電気的に接続し、ダイパッド14とチップ表面のソース端子11との接続をワイヤボンディングにより行うことで、ソースリード側の寄生インダクタンスを大幅に低減できる。これにより、半導体装置10は、大きなゲート抵抗を付加することなく寄生発振を抑制でき、GaNの特徴である低消費電力、高速応答特性を生かしたパワーデバイスが実現される。 As described above, the semiconductor device 10 of the present invention employs a surface mounting type device mounting structure for mounting a power device using GaN, and electrically connects the back surface of the GaN chip to the surface of the die pad 14. By connecting the source terminal 11 on the surface by wire bonding, the parasitic inductance on the source lead side can be greatly reduced. As a result, the semiconductor device 10 can suppress parasitic oscillation without adding a large gate resistance, and a power device utilizing the low power consumption and high-speed response characteristics that are the characteristics of GaN is realized.
