（第１の実施形態）
図１Ａは本実施形態による光結合装置１の斜視図、図１Ｂは図１ＡのＡ−Ａ線の断面図である。本実施形態による光結合装置１は、基板２上にそれぞれ離して配置される第１パッド３、第２パッド４および第３パッド５と、第１パッド３上に設けられる受光チップ６と、受光チップ６上に設けられる発光チップ７と、第２パッド４上に設けられる第１ＭＯＳＦＥＴ（Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor）８と、第３パッド５上に設けられる第２ＭＯＳＦＥＴ９と、発光チップ７の表面を覆うゲル状のシリコーン１０と、シリコーン１０の表面を覆う樹脂部１１とを備えている。第１ＭＯＳＦＥＴ８と第２ＭＯＳＦＥＴ９は、ＩＧＢＴ等のパワー半導体素子である。 (1st Embodiment)
FIG. 1A is a perspective view of the optical coupling device 1 according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 1A. The optical coupling device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a first pad 3, a second pad 4, and a third pad 5, which are separately arranged on the substrate 2, a light receiving chip 6 provided on the first pad 3, The light emitting chip 7 provided on the chip 6, the first MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) 8 provided on the second pad 4, the second MOSFET 9 provided on the third pad 5, and the surface of the light emitting chip 7 It comprises a gel-like silicone 10 to be covered and a resin part 11 to cover the surface of the silicone 10. The first MOSFET 8 and the second MOSFET 9 are power semiconductor elements such as IGBTs.

光結合装置１では、入力信号を発光チップ７が光信号に変換し、この光信号を電気的に絶縁された状態で受光チップが受光して電気信号に変換し、この電気信号に基づいて第１ＭＯＳＦＥＴ８と第２ＭＯＦＥＴ９が負荷（図示しない）を駆動する。   In the optical coupling device 1, the light emitting chip 7 converts an input signal into an optical signal, and the light receiving chip receives the optical signal in an electrically insulated state and converts it into an electric signal. The first MOSFET 8 and the second MOSFET 9 drive a load (not shown).

図１Ａおよび図１Ｂの光結合装置１は、第１ＭＯＳＦＥＴ８と第２ＭＯＳＦＥＴ９を内蔵しているが、第１ＭＯＳＦＥＴ８と第２ＭＯＦＥＴ９を光結合装置１とは別の半導体素子で実現してもよい。   Although the optical coupling device 1 of FIGS. 1A and 1B includes the first MOSFET 8 and the second MOSFET 9, the first MOSFET 8 and the second MOSFET 9 may be realized by a semiconductor element different from the optical coupling device 1.

基板２は、第１方向ｘにおいて、表面２ａの一端側に第１領域２ｂと、他端側に第２領域２ｃとを有する。また、裏面２ｄにはパターン１８が設けられている。第１領域２ｂには、第１端子１２および第２端子１３が配置され、第２領域２ｃには、第３端子１４および第４端子１５が配置されている。第１端子１２は、ボンディングワイヤ１６にて発光チップ７のアノードに接続され、第２端子１３は、別個のボンディングワイヤ１６にて発光チップ７のカソードに接続されている。第３端子１４は電源端子であり、第４端子１５は接地端子である。第３端子１４と第４端子１５はそれぞれ別々のコンタクト１７を介して、パターン１８と電気的に接続している。これらパターン１８は、別のコンタクト１７を介して、第２パッド４および第３パッド５と電気的に接続している。この他、受光チップ６と第１および第２ＭＯＳＦＥＴ８，９とをそれぞれ接続するボンディングワイヤ１６と、第１および第２ＭＯＳＦＥＴ８，９同士を接続するボンディングワイヤ１６とが設けられている。   The substrate 2 has a first region 2b on one end of the front surface 2a and a second region 2c on the other end in the first direction x. Further, a pattern 18 is provided on the back surface 2d. The first terminal 12 and the second terminal 13 are arranged in the first region 2b, and the third terminal 14 and the fourth terminal 15 are arranged in the second region 2c. The first terminal 12 is connected to the anode of the light emitting chip 7 by a bonding wire 16, and the second terminal 13 is connected to the cathode of the light emitting chip 7 by a separate bonding wire 16. The third terminal 14 is a power supply terminal, and the fourth terminal 15 is a ground terminal. The third terminal 14 and the fourth terminal 15 are electrically connected to the pattern 18 via separate contacts 17, respectively. These patterns 18 are electrically connected to the second pad 4 and the third pad 5 via another contact 17. In addition, a bonding wire 16 for connecting the light receiving chip 6 to the first and second MOSFETs 8 and 9 and a bonding wire 16 for connecting the first and second MOSFETs 8 and 9 are provided.

発光チップ７は、ＬＥＤ（Light Emitting Diode）等の発光素子単体の半導体装置でもよいし、発光素子が実装された基板と、発光素子の周辺回路が実装された基板とを一つのパッケージに収納した半導体素子でもよい。受光チップ６は、フォトダイオード等の受光素子を内蔵する半導体素子である。   The light-emitting chip 7 may be a semiconductor device having a light-emitting element alone such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode), or a substrate on which a light-emitting element is mounted and a substrate on which a peripheral circuit of the light-emitting element is mounted are housed in one package. A semiconductor element may be used. The light receiving chip 6 is a semiconductor element having a built-in light receiving element such as a photodiode.

発光チップ７の発光面は、受光チップ６の上面側に配置された受光面に対向して配置されている。発光チップ７と受光チップ６とは、例えば、ペースト状の透明なシリコーンを硬化させた透明接着部材１９により接着されている。ここで、透明とは、発光チップ７が発光する光の発光波長に対して透過性を有することを意味する。発光チップ７を受光チップ６上に積層し、発光チップ７の発光面と受光チップ６の受光面とを短い距離で対向配置することで、発光チップ７からの光を損失なく受光チップ６で受光でき、受光効率を表す光の結合特性を向上できる。   The light emitting surface of the light emitting chip 7 is arranged to face a light receiving surface arranged on the upper surface side of the light receiving chip 6. The light emitting chip 7 and the light receiving chip 6 are bonded together by, for example, a transparent bonding member 19 obtained by curing paste-like transparent silicone. Here, “transparent” means that the light-emitting chip 7 has transparency with respect to the emission wavelength of the light emitted. The light emitting chip 7 is stacked on the light receiving chip 6, and the light emitting surface of the light emitting chip 7 and the light receiving surface of the light receiving chip 6 are arranged to face each other at a short distance, so that the light from the light emitting chip 7 is received by the light receiving chip 6 without loss. As a result, the light coupling characteristics representing the light receiving efficiency can be improved.

ゲル状のシリコーン１０は、図１Ｂに示すように、発光チップ７の表面と、発光チップ７の上面に接続されたボンディングワイヤ１６の一部とを覆う。ゲル状のシリコーン１０は、後述するように、ゴム状のシリコーンよりも硬度が低い、すなわち軟質であるという性質を有する。   The gel silicone 10 covers the surface of the light emitting chip 7 and a part of the bonding wire 16 connected to the upper surface of the light emitting chip 7, as shown in FIG. 1B. As described later, the gel-like silicone 10 has a property that the hardness is lower than that of the rubber-like silicone, that is, it is soft.

このため、ゲル状のシリコーン１０は、温度や湿度等の環境条件の変化に対して、柔軟に形状を変化させることができる。よって、ゲル状のシリコーン１０は、応力緩和部材として機能する。なお、ゲル状のシリコーン１０は、透明または不透明のどちらでも構わない。   For this reason, the gel-like silicone 10 can flexibly change its shape in response to changes in environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Therefore, the gel silicone 10 functions as a stress relaxation member. The gel silicone 10 may be either transparent or opaque.

樹脂部１１は、図１Ｂに示すように、ゲル状のシリコーン１０の表面と、受光チップ６の表面とを覆い、第１ＭＯＳＦＥＴ８と第２ＭＯＳＦＥＴ９の表面も覆っている。樹脂部１１は、例えば微小なカーボンやＴｉＯ２等を混在させたエポキシ樹脂で形成されている。樹脂部１１は、光結合装置１の外部からの光がシリコーン１０に入り込まないように遮光性を有する。すなわち、樹脂部１１は、発光チップ７から発光される光に対する透過性を持たない材料で形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 1B, the resin portion 11 covers the surface of the gel-like silicone 10 and the surface of the light receiving chip 6, and also covers the surfaces of the first MOSFET 8 and the second MOSFET 9. The resin portion 11 is formed of, for example, an epoxy resin in which minute carbon, TiO 2 and the like are mixed. The resin portion 11 has a light shielding property so that light from outside the optical coupling device 1 does not enter the silicone 10. That is, the resin portion 11 is formed of a material having no transparency with respect to light emitted from the light emitting chip 7.

従来は、発光チップ７の表面をゴム状のシリコーンで覆っていた。ゴム状のシリコーンと樹脂部１１の密着性を高めるには、ゴム状のシリコーンの表面をプラズマ洗浄するのが望ましい。プラズマ洗浄では、高エネルギの電子およびイオンを洗浄対象物の表面に照射して、洗浄対象物の最表面の化学結合の一部を切断し、この表面の密着性を向上させることができる。   Conventionally, the surface of the light emitting chip 7 has been covered with rubber-like silicone. In order to enhance the adhesion between the rubber-like silicone and the resin portion 11, it is desirable to perform plasma cleaning on the surface of the rubber-like silicone. In the plasma cleaning, high-energy electrons and ions are irradiated to the surface of the object to be cleaned to cut a part of chemical bonds on the outermost surface of the object to be cleaned, thereby improving the adhesion of the surface.

ところが、ゴム状のシリコーンの表面をプラズマ洗浄してから樹脂部１１を付着すると、シリコーンと樹脂部１１の密着性が高くなりすぎて、発光チップ７が剥離するおそれがある。図２は、受光チップ６上に発光チップ７を積層し、発光チップ７の表面をゴム状のシリコーン１０で覆い、シリコーン１０の表面をプラズマ洗浄してから、シリコーン１０の表面を樹脂部１１で覆う場合の応力の方向を矢印ｙ１，ｙ２で示す図である。   However, if the resin portion 11 is adhered after the surface of the rubber-like silicone is plasma-cleaned, the adhesion between the silicone and the resin portion 11 becomes too high, and the light emitting chip 7 may be peeled off. FIG. 2 shows that the light emitting chip 7 is stacked on the light receiving chip 6, the surface of the light emitting chip 7 is covered with rubber-like silicone 10, the surface of the silicone 10 is plasma-cleaned, and then the surface of the silicone 10 is It is a figure which shows the direction of the stress at the time of covering with arrow y1, y2.

ゴム状のシリコーン１０をエポキシ樹脂からなる樹脂部１１で覆う場合、ゴム状のシリコーン１０の方がエポキシ樹脂よりも熱膨張係数が大きいため、樹脂部１１を成形する際の高温度によって、シリコーン１０は樹脂部１１よりも膨張し、その結果、シリコーン１０が樹脂部１１に押しつけられて、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１とが強固に接合し、密着性が向上する。その後、温度が下がると、シリコーン１０は図２の矢印ｙ１の方向に収縮しようとする。ところが、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１の密着性が高いと、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１との界面が移動しないため、発光チップ７を矢印ｙ２の方向に引っ張る応力がかかり、結果として、発光チップ７を受光チップ６に接着している透明接着部材１９が剥がれて、発光チップ７が剥離してしまうおそれがある。発光チップ７が剥離すると、発光面と受光面との位置関係がずれるため、発光チップ７から発光される光のうち受光チップ６で受光されない漏れ光の割合が多くなり、受光効率を表す光の結合特性が劣化する。   When the rubber-like silicone 10 is covered with the resin portion 11 made of epoxy resin, the rubber-like silicone 10 has a larger coefficient of thermal expansion than the epoxy resin. Expands more than the resin part 11, and as a result, the silicone 10 is pressed against the resin part 11, and the silicone 10 and the resin part 11 are firmly joined to each other, and the adhesion is improved. Thereafter, when the temperature decreases, the silicone 10 tends to contract in the direction of arrow y1 in FIG. However, if the adhesiveness between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 is high, the interface between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 does not move, so that a stress is applied to pull the light emitting chip 7 in the direction of arrow y2. There is a possibility that the transparent adhesive member 19 adhered to the light receiving chip 6 is peeled off and the light emitting chip 7 is peeled off. When the light emitting chip 7 is peeled off, the positional relationship between the light emitting surface and the light receiving surface is shifted, so that the ratio of the leakage light not received by the light receiving chip 6 out of the light emitted from the light emitting chip 7 increases. The coupling characteristics deteriorate.

このように、ゴム状のシリコーン１０を用いて、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１との密着性を向上させるためにプラズマ洗浄を行うと、発光チップ７の剥離が起きやすくなる。   When the plasma cleaning is performed using the rubber-like silicone 10 to improve the adhesion between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11, the light-emitting chip 7 is easily peeled.

一方、ゴム状のシリコーン１０を用いて、プラズマ洗浄を行わずにシリコーン１０の表面に樹脂部１１を付着させると、エポキシ樹脂で形成された樹脂部１１よりもゴム状のシリコーン１０の方が収縮率が大きいため、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１の間に剥離が生じてしまう。シリコーン１０が樹脂部１１から剥離してしまうと、発光チップ７の上面のボンディングワイヤ１６が断線しやすくなる。   On the other hand, when the resin portion 11 is adhered to the surface of the silicone 10 without performing plasma cleaning using the rubber-like silicone 10, the rubber-like silicone 10 shrinks more than the resin portion 11 formed of the epoxy resin. Since the ratio is large, separation occurs between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11. When the silicone 10 is separated from the resin portion 11, the bonding wires 16 on the upper surface of the light emitting chip 7 are easily broken.

このような背景から、本実施形態では、ゴム状ではなく、ゲル状のシリコーンを採用した。ゲル状のシリコーンは、エポキシ樹脂やゴム状のシリコーンよりも硬さの値が小さく、塑性変形しやすい材料である。ゲル状のシリコーンの硬さの値は、例えばデュロメータにより計測することが可能である。本実施形態で使用したゲル状のシリコーンは、ＪＩＳ
Ｋ ６２５３またはＪＩＳ Ｋ ７２１５（タイプＡ）に準拠してデュロメータで計測した硬さの値が１０〜２４の範囲内のものである。本発明者が硬さの値を種々に変えて実験を行ったところ、硬さの値が１０未満となると、ゲル状のシリコーンの形状が崩れやすくなり、シリコーンの外形形状を安定に維持できなくなるおそれがあることがわかった。
硬さが１６以上でより安定な形状が形成できることが分かった。また、硬さの値が２４を超えると、硬くなりすぎて、樹脂部１１との密着性が悪くなり、隙間ができるおそれがあることがわかった。 From this background, the present embodiment employs a gel-like silicone instead of a rubber-like silicone. Gel-like silicone is a material that has a lower hardness value than an epoxy resin or rubber-like silicone and is easily plastically deformed. The value of the hardness of the gel silicone can be measured, for example, with a durometer. The gel silicone used in this embodiment is JIS
The hardness value measured with a durometer according to K 6253 or JIS K 7215 (type A) is in the range of 10 to 24. When the present inventor conducted experiments with various values of hardness, when the value of hardness was less than 10, the shape of the gel-like silicone was easily collapsed, and the external shape of the silicone could not be stably maintained. It turned out there was a risk.
It was found that a more stable shape with a hardness of 16 or more can be formed. Further, it was found that when the value of the hardness exceeds 24, it becomes too hard, the adhesion to the resin portion 11 is deteriorated, and a gap may be formed.

なお、参考のために、デュロメータにて、エポキシ樹脂からなる樹脂部１１の硬さの値を測定したところ、７５であった。ゲル状のシリコーンで硬さが１０〜２４の範囲内であれば、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１とは密着性がよく、ＰＣＴ等の加速寿命試験の前後で剥離等は生じず、またシリコーン１０の表面に剥離は生じなかった。このように、樹脂部１１の硬さの値は、シリコーン１０の硬さの値の３倍以上、すなわち３０以上であるのが望ましい。   In addition, the value of the hardness of the resin part 11 made of an epoxy resin was measured with a durometer for reference, and was 75. If the hardness of the gel-like silicone is in the range of 10 to 24, the silicone 10 and the resin part 11 have good adhesion, and do not peel off before and after an accelerated life test such as PCT. No delamination occurred on the surface. Thus, the value of the hardness of the resin portion 11 is desirably three times or more the value of the hardness of the silicone 10, that is, 30 or more.

本発明者の実験によると、硬さの値が１０〜２４、望ましくは１６〜２４のゲル状のシリコーンにて発光チップ７を覆うと、プレッシャクッカー試験（ＰＣＴ）などの高温高湿度での加速寿命試験を行っても、発光チップ７の剥離は生じないことがわかった。   According to the experiment of the present inventor, when the light emitting chip 7 is covered with a gel silicone having a hardness value of 10 to 24, desirably 16 to 24, acceleration at high temperature and high humidity such as pressure cooker test (PCT) is performed. It was found that even when the life test was performed, the light emitting chip 7 did not peel off.

ゲル状のシリコーン１０では、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１との接触界面が応力に応じて柔軟に移動しやすくなり、一部に応力がかかったとしても、その応力を周囲に逃がすことができ、シリコーン１０は応力緩和部材として機能する。また、ゲル状のシリコーン１０を用いた場合には、ゴム状のシリコーン１０を用いた場合よりも樹脂部１１との密着性がよくなるため、ゲル状のシリコーン１０の表面をプラズマ洗浄する必要はない。これにより、製造工程を簡略化できる。   In the gel-like silicone 10, the contact interface between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 is easily and flexibly moved according to the stress, and even if a stress is applied to a part, the stress can be released to the surroundings. 10 functions as a stress relaxation member. In addition, when the gel-like silicone 10 is used, the adhesiveness to the resin portion 11 is better than when the rubber-like silicone 10 is used, so that it is not necessary to perform plasma cleaning of the surface of the gel-like silicone 10. . Thereby, the manufacturing process can be simplified.

なお、ゲル状のシリコーン１０に対してプラズマ洗浄を行っても構わない。仮にプラズマ洗浄を行ったとしても、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１との界面が応力に応じて柔軟に移動する性質が損なわれることはなく、シリコーン１０が応力緩和部材として機能する点でも変わりはない。   Note that the gel-like silicone 10 may be subjected to plasma cleaning. Even if the plasma cleaning is performed, the property that the interface between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 moves flexibly in response to stress is not impaired, and there is no change in that the silicone 10 functions as a stress relaxation member.

また、プラズマ洗浄は、ゲル状のシリコーン１０を形成する前に行ってもよい。すなわち、ゲル状のシリコーン１０を形成する前に、発光チップ７と受光チップ６の表面をプラズマ洗浄することで、表面の濡れ性が向上し、ゲル状のシリコーン１０が表面に付着しやすくなる。   The plasma cleaning may be performed before the formation of the gel silicone 10. That is, before the gel-like silicone 10 is formed, the surfaces of the light-emitting chip 7 and the light-receiving chip 6 are subjected to plasma cleaning, so that the wettability of the surfaces is improved, and the gel-like silicone 10 easily adheres to the surfaces.

ゲル状のシリコーン１０の厚さが厚いほど、応力を緩和しやすくなるため、シリコーン１０は、できるだけ厚くするのが望ましい。例えば、図１のように、受光チップ６の外形形状が長方形で、その上に積層される発光チップ７の外形形状が正方形の場合は、図３Ａの模式図に示すように、受光チップ６の上面の略中央部に発光チップ７を配置し、受光チップ６の上面のほぼ全域にシリコーン１０を配置するのが望ましい。この場合、受光チップ６の長辺側の第２方向ｙでは、シリコーン１０がより厚く形成されることになり、この方向での発光チップ７の剥離をより防止できる。   The larger the thickness of the gel-like silicone 10, the more easily the stress can be relieved. Therefore, it is desirable that the thickness of the silicone 10 be as large as possible. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, when the outer shape of the light receiving chip 6 is rectangular and the outer shape of the light emitting chip 7 laminated thereon is square, as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. It is desirable that the light emitting chip 7 is disposed substantially at the center of the upper surface, and the silicone 10 is disposed substantially all over the upper surface of the light receiving chip 6. In this case, the silicone 10 is formed to be thicker in the second direction y on the long side of the light receiving chip 6, and the light emitting chip 7 can be prevented from peeling off in this direction.

なお、受光チップ６の外形形状は必ずしも長方形であるとは限らず、例えば正方形の場合もありうる。この場合は、図３Ｂの模式図に示すように、受光チップ６の上面の略中央部に発光チップ７を配置し、４方向に均等にシリコーン１０を配置するのが望ましい。   Note that the outer shape of the light receiving chip 6 is not necessarily rectangular, but may be, for example, square. In this case, as shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 3B, it is desirable that the light emitting chip 7 is disposed substantially at the center of the upper surface of the light receiving chip 6 and the silicone 10 is disposed evenly in four directions.

このように、第１の実施形態では、受光チップ６上に発光チップ７を積層し、発光チップ７の表面をゲル状のシリコーン１０で覆い、シリコーン１０の表面をエポキシ樹脂からなる樹脂部１１で覆うため、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１との接触界面が応力に応じて柔軟に移動し、シリコーン１０が応力緩和部材として機能するため、温度や湿度等の環境条件が変化しても、発光チップ７の剥離を防止できる。   As described above, in the first embodiment, the light emitting chip 7 is stacked on the light receiving chip 6, the surface of the light emitting chip 7 is covered with the gel silicone 10, and the surface of the silicone 10 is covered with the resin portion 11 made of epoxy resin. Because of this, the contact interface between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 moves flexibly according to the stress, and the silicone 10 functions as a stress relieving member. Therefore, even if environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity change, the light emitting chip 7 Can be prevented from peeling off.

（第２の実施形態）
第２の実施形態は、ゴム状のシリコーン１０を用いて、発光チップ７の剥離を防止するものである。 (Second embodiment)
In the second embodiment, the light emitting chip 7 is prevented from being peeled off by using a rubber-like silicone 10.

第２の実施形態による光結合装置１は、図１と同様に構成されている。図４は発光チップ７と受光チップ６の周辺の模式的な断面図である。図４に示すように、受光チップ６上に積層された発光チップ７の表面と、発光チップ７および受光チップ６に接続されるボンディングワイヤ１６の一部とは、ゴム状のシリコーン１０で覆われている。シリコーン１０は、エポキシ樹脂等からなる樹脂部１１で覆われている。図５はゴム状シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１との界面付近を模式的に示す拡大断面図である。   The optical coupling device 1 according to the second embodiment has the same configuration as that of FIG. FIG. 4 is a schematic sectional view around the light emitting chip 7 and the light receiving chip 6. As shown in FIG. 4, the surface of the light emitting chip 7 stacked on the light receiving chip 6 and a part of the bonding wire 16 connected to the light emitting chip 7 and the light receiving chip 6 are covered with rubber-like silicone 10. ing. The silicone 10 is covered with a resin part 11 made of an epoxy resin or the like. FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view schematically showing the vicinity of the interface between the rubber-like silicone 10 and the resin portion 11.

本実施形態によるゴム状のシリコーン１０は、発光チップ７の上面側と側面側とで厚さが異なっている。より具体的には、シリコーン１０は、発光チップ７の上面側の厚さを、側面側の厚さよりも薄くしている。ゴム状のシリコーン１０は、高温度にして軟性を高めた状態で、発光チップ７の表面に付着されるため、発光チップ７の側面側に上面側よりも多くのシリコーンを付着させることは、比較的容易に行うことができる。   The thickness of the rubber-like silicone 10 according to the present embodiment is different between the upper surface side and the side surface side of the light emitting chip 7. More specifically, the thickness of the silicone 10 on the upper surface side of the light emitting chip 7 is smaller than the thickness on the side surface side. Since the rubber-like silicone 10 is attached to the surface of the light emitting chip 7 in a state where the softness is increased at a high temperature, it is difficult to attach more silicone to the side surface of the light emitting chip 7 than to the upper surface side. It can be done easily.

第２の実施形態では、発光チップ７の表面をシリコーン１０で覆った後、シリコーン１０の表面をプラズマ洗浄せずに樹脂部１１を形成する。樹脂部１１は例えばエポキシ樹脂で形成されている。このため、ゴム状のシリコーン１０の表面にプラズマ洗浄せずに樹脂部１１を成形すると、成形時の高温度により、シリコーン１０は樹脂部１１よりも膨張し、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１は接して設けられる。このため、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１の密着性はよくなる。樹脂部１１の成形が終わって、シリコーン１０および樹脂部１１の温度が低下すると、シリコーン１０は樹脂部１１よりも大きく収縮する。シリコーン１０は、発光チップ７の上面側よりも側面側により厚く形成されているため、上面側よりも側面側の方が収縮するサイズが大きくなる。これは、上面側よりも側面側の方がシリコーン１０の厚さが大きいため、全体的な収縮量が大きくなるためである。   In the second embodiment, after the surface of the light emitting chip 7 is covered with the silicone 10, the resin portion 11 is formed without performing the plasma cleaning on the surface of the silicone 10. The resin portion 11 is formed of, for example, an epoxy resin. Therefore, when the resin portion 11 is formed on the surface of the rubber-like silicone 10 without performing plasma cleaning, the silicone 10 expands more than the resin portion 11 due to a high temperature at the time of molding, and the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 come into contact with each other. Provided. Therefore, the adhesion between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 is improved. When the temperature of the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 decreases after the molding of the resin portion 11, the silicone 10 shrinks more than the resin portion 11. Since the silicone 10 is formed to be thicker on the side surface than on the upper surface side of the light emitting chip 7, the size of the shrinkage on the side surface is larger than on the upper surface side. This is because the thickness of the silicone 10 is larger on the side surface side than on the upper surface side, so that the overall amount of shrinkage is larger.

よって、発光チップ７の側面側では、図５に示すように、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１との間により大きな第１空隙部２１が形成される。この第１空隙部２１は、発光チップ７の上面側におけるシリコーン１０と樹脂部１１との間の第２空隙部２２よりも大きくなる。シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１との間に第２空隙部２２が形成されることで、シリコーン１０が発光チップ７を引っ張る応力が緩和され、発光チップ７の剥離が防止される。   Therefore, on the side surface side of the light emitting chip 7, as shown in FIG. 5, a larger first void portion 21 is formed between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11. The first gap 21 is larger than the second gap 22 between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 on the upper surface side of the light emitting chip 7. By forming the second gap portion 22 between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11, the stress of the silicone 10 pulling the light emitting chip 7 is reduced, and the light emitting chip 7 is prevented from peeling.

発光チップ７の上面側では、シリコーン１０の厚みが薄いために、シリコーン１０の収縮量が小さく、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１との間にも大きな隙間は形成されない。よって、発光チップ７の上面側に配置されるボンディングワイヤ１６の断線を防止することができる。   On the upper surface side of the light emitting chip 7, since the thickness of the silicone 10 is small, the amount of shrinkage of the silicone 10 is small, and no large gap is formed between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11. Therefore, disconnection of the bonding wires 16 arranged on the upper surface side of the light emitting chip 7 can be prevented.

なお、シリコーン１０の表面を樹脂部１１で覆う前に、シリコーン１０の一部、具体的には発光チップ７の上面側だけをプラズマ洗浄し、発光チップ７の上面側におけるシリコーン１０と樹脂部１１の密着性を向上させてもよい。これにより、シリコーン１０が収縮しても、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１との間に第２空隙部２２が生じにくくなる。シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１が接して設けられていると、シリコーン１０が収縮しようとする応力は発光チップ７を引っ張る方向に働くが、発光チップ７の上面側は、シリコーン１０の厚さが薄いため、シリコーン１０の応力は小さい。よって、発光チップ７の剥離が起きやすくなることはない。また、シリコーン１０の上面側では、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１とが接して設けられている方が、ボンディングワイヤ１６の断線防止にとっては都合がよい。   Before covering the surface of the silicone 10 with the resin portion 11, only a part of the silicone 10, specifically, only the upper surface side of the light emitting chip 7 is subjected to plasma cleaning, and the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 on the upper surface side of the light emitting chip 7 are cleaned. May be improved. Thereby, even if the silicone 10 shrinks, the second gap 22 is less likely to be formed between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11. When the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 are provided in contact with each other, the stress that the silicone 10 tends to contract acts in the direction in which the light emitting chip 7 is pulled. The stress of the silicone 10 is small. Therefore, the light-emitting chip 7 does not easily peel off. It is more convenient to provide the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 in contact with each other on the upper surface side of the silicone 10 in order to prevent the breaking of the bonding wire 16.

このように、第２の実施形態では、シリコーン１０の厚さを、発光チップ７の上面側よりも側面側をより厚くするため、シリコーン１０と樹脂部１１の間の空隙の寸法が上面側よりも側面側の方が大きくなる。よって、発光チップ７の側面側から発光チップ７を引っ張る応力を緩和でき、発光チップ７の剥離を防止できる。第２の実施形態では、発光チップ７の剥離が問題となったゴム状のシリコーン１０を用いながら、発光チップ７の剥離を防止できるため、シリコーンの材料を変更せずに、発光チップ７の剥離を防止できる。   As described above, in the second embodiment, since the thickness of the silicone 10 is made thicker on the side surface than on the upper surface side of the light emitting chip 7, the dimension of the gap between the silicone 10 and the resin portion 11 is larger than that on the upper surface side. Is also larger on the side. Therefore, the stress that pulls the light emitting chip 7 from the side surface side of the light emitting chip 7 can be reduced, and peeling of the light emitting chip 7 can be prevented. In the second embodiment, the peeling of the light emitting chip 7 can be prevented while using the rubber-like silicone 10 in which the peeling of the light emitting chip 7 has become a problem, so that the peeling of the light emitting chip 7 can be performed without changing the silicone material. Can be prevented.
