 以上のように構成された半導体装置A1の作用効果は、次の通りである。 The effects of the semiconductor device A1 configured as described above are as follows.
 半導体装置A1によれば、半導体素子10、支持部材2、および、金属部材30を備えている。半導体素子10は、第1接合層41によって、金属部材30に接合されており、金属部材30は、第2接合層42によって、支持部材2に接合されている。金属部材30は、複数の細孔31が形成された多孔質体である。この構成によると、半導体素子10からの熱によって、金属部材30が熱膨張する際、複数の細孔31付近に熱ひずみが生じるため、複数の細孔31付近の熱応力が局所的に緩和される。したがって、金属部材30の熱膨張による熱応力を緩和させることができるので、たとえば、金属部材30に接する第2接合層42にかかる熱応力を緩和させ、第2接合層42の凝集破壊を抑制できる。つまり、半導体装置A1は、接合不良や導通不良などの製品故障の発生が抑制されるので、信頼性を向上させることができる。また、半導体装置A1は、金属部材30に接する第1接合層41にかかる熱応力も緩和させることができるので、第1接合層41の凝集破壊を抑制できる。 According to the semiconductor device A1, the semiconductor element 10, the support member 2, and the metal member 30 are provided. The semiconductor element 10 is bonded to the metal member 30 by the first bonding layer 41, and the metal member 30 is bonded to the support member 2 by the second bonding layer 42. The metal member 30 is a porous body in which a plurality of pores 31 are formed. According to this configuration, when the metal member 30 thermally expands due to the heat from the semiconductor element 10, thermal strain is generated in the vicinity of the plurality of pores 31, so that the thermal stress in the vicinity of the plurality of pores 31 is locally relaxed. To. Therefore, since the thermal stress due to the thermal expansion of the metal member 30 can be relaxed, for example, the thermal stress applied to the second bonding layer 42 in contact with the metal member 30 can be relaxed, and the cohesive failure of the second bonding layer 42 can be suppressed. .. That is, the semiconductor device A1 can improve the reliability because the occurrence of product failures such as poor bonding and poor conduction is suppressed. Further, since the semiconductor device A1 can also relax the thermal stress applied to the first bonding layer 41 in contact with the metal member 30, it is possible to suppress the cohesive failure of the first bonding layer 41.
 半導体装置A1によれば、各金属部材30は、その厚さが、支持部材2の厚さよりも大きく、0.5mm以上5mm以下(好ましくは1.0mm以上3mm以下)である。たとえば、本開示の半導体装置A1と異なる半導体装置において、各金属部材の厚さを金属部材30の厚さよりも小さくして、金属部材の剛性を低くすることで、熱応力を緩和させることも可能である。しかしながら、このような手法(金属部材を薄くする手法)では、金属部材に反りが生じて、当該金属部材と支持部材2との間に封止部材7が入り込み、支持部材2が損壊する(割れる)可能性がある。また、金属部材を薄くする手法では、金属部材による熱拡散効率が低下する可能性がある。一方、半導体装置A1においては、複数の細孔31が形成された多孔質体の金属部材30を用いることで、金属部材30の剛性を低くしている。したがって、半導体装置A1は、支持部材2の損壊や熱拡散効率の低下を抑制しつつ、第2接合層42にかかる熱応力を緩和させることができる。 According to the semiconductor device A1, the thickness of each metal member 30 is larger than the thickness of the support member 2 and is 0.5 mm or more and 5 mm or less (preferably 1.0 mm or more and 3 mm or less). For example, in a semiconductor device different from the semiconductor device A1 of the present disclosure, the thermal stress can be relaxed by making the thickness of each metal member smaller than the thickness of the metal member 30 to lower the rigidity of the metal member. Is. However, in such a method (a method of thinning the metal member), the metal member is warped, the sealing member 7 enters between the metal member and the support member 2, and the support member 2 is damaged (broken). )there is a possibility. In addition, the method of thinning the metal member may reduce the heat diffusion efficiency of the metal member. On the other hand, in the semiconductor device A1, the rigidity of the metal member 30 is lowered by using the porous metal member 30 in which the plurality of pores 31 are formed. Therefore, the semiconductor device A1 can relieve the thermal stress applied to the second bonding layer 42 while suppressing the damage of the support member 2 and the decrease in the heat diffusion efficiency.
 半導体装置A1によれば、金属部材30に対する複数の細孔31の占有率は、10%以上70%以下である。たとえば、この占有率が、70%(先述の占有率の範囲の最大値)よりも大きい場合、第1接合層41や第2接合層42が複数の細孔31に吸収されてしまい、半導体素子10および金属部材30の接合が不十分となる。一方、この占有率が、10%(先述の占有率の範囲の最小値)よりも小さい場合、多数の細孔31付近の熱応力の緩和が不十分となり、熱応力を適度に緩和できない。したがって、先述の占有率を10%以上70%以下とすることで、半導体素子10と金属部材30との接合強度および支持部材2(配線層22)と金属部材30との接合強度を確保しつつ、金属部材30による熱応力を適度に緩和させることができる。 According to the semiconductor device A1, the occupancy rate of the plurality of pores 31 with respect to the metal member 30 is 10% or more and 70% or less. For example, when this occupancy rate is larger than 70% (the maximum value in the above-mentioned occupancy rate range), the first bonding layer 41 and the second bonding layer 42 are absorbed by the plurality of pores 31, and the semiconductor element. The joining of the 10 and the metal member 30 becomes insufficient. On the other hand, when this occupancy rate is smaller than 10% (the minimum value in the above-mentioned occupancy rate range), the thermal stress in the vicinity of a large number of pores 31 is insufficiently relaxed, and the thermal stress cannot be moderately relaxed. Therefore, by setting the occupancy rate to 10% or more and 70% or less as described above, the bonding strength between the semiconductor element 10 and the metal member 30 and the bonding strength between the support member 2 (wiring layer 22) and the metal member 30 are ensured. , The thermal stress caused by the metal member 30 can be appropriately relaxed.
 半導体装置A1によれば、複数の細孔31の一部には、封止部材7が充填されている。具体的には、各金属部材30において、主面301のうち第1接合層41に接していない領域、および、各側面303,304の全領域に表れた複数の細孔31には、封止部材7が充填されている。この構成によると、アンカー効果によって、各金属部材30と封止部材7との密着性を向上させることができる。なお、封止部材7が充填された細孔31付近においては、空気が充填された細孔31付近よりも、熱応力が比較的大きくなるが、細孔31が形成されていない場合よりも、熱応力を比較的に小さくすることができる。つまり、一部の細孔31に封止部材7が充填されていても、定性的に熱応力の緩和を図ることができる。したがって、半導体装置A1は、熱応力の緩和を図りつつ、封止部材7の密着性を向上させることができる。 According to the semiconductor device A1, a part of the plurality of pores 31 is filled with the sealing member 7. Specifically, in each metal member 30, the region of the main surface 301 that is not in contact with the first bonding layer 41 and the plurality of pores 31 appearing in the entire regions of the side surfaces 303 and 304 are sealed. The member 7 is filled. According to this configuration, the adhesion between each metal member 30 and the sealing member 7 can be improved by the anchor effect. In the vicinity of the pores 31 filled with the sealing member 7, the thermal stress is relatively larger than in the vicinity of the pores 31 filled with air, but compared to the case where the pores 31 are not formed. The thermal stress can be made relatively small. That is, even if some of the pores 31 are filled with the sealing member 7, the thermal stress can be qualitatively relaxed. Therefore, the semiconductor device A1 can improve the adhesion of the sealing member 7 while alleviating the thermal stress.
 半導体装置A1によれば、支持部材2は、絶縁基板21を含んでいる。絶縁基板21は、熱伝導率が比較的高いセラミックスからなる。この構成によると、半導体素子10によって生じた熱は、金属部材30によって熱拡散され、そして、絶縁基板21に伝達される。したがって、半導体装置A1は、半導体素子10からの熱が、金属部材30および絶縁基板21に拡散されるため、半導体素子10の放熱効率の向上を図ることができる。さらに、絶縁基板21は、裏面212が封止部材7から露出している。この構成によると、絶縁基板21に伝達された熱が、裏面212から外部に放出される。また、半導体装置A1にヒートシンクが取り付けられている場合、裏面212から当該ヒートシンクに伝達される。したがって、半導体装置A1は、半導体素子10からの発熱を、効率よく放熱することができる。 According to the semiconductor device A1, the support member 2 includes an insulating substrate 21. The insulating substrate 21 is made of ceramics having a relatively high thermal conductivity. According to this configuration, the heat generated by the semiconductor element 10 is thermally diffused by the metal member 30 and transferred to the insulating substrate 21. Therefore, in the semiconductor device A1, the heat from the semiconductor element 10 is diffused to the metal member 30 and the insulating substrate 21, so that the heat dissipation efficiency of the semiconductor element 10 can be improved. Further, the back surface 212 of the insulating substrate 21 is exposed from the sealing member 7. According to this configuration, the heat transferred to the insulating substrate 21 is released to the outside from the back surface 212. When a heat sink is attached to the semiconductor device A1, the heat sink is transmitted from the back surface 212 to the heat sink. Therefore, the semiconductor device A1 can efficiently dissipate heat generated from the semiconductor element 10.

Therefore, unlike the semiconductor device A1, the semiconductor device A2 has one first wiring layer 22A and further includes a fourth wiring layer 22D.

Two first elements 10A are joined to the first metal member 30A by a first joining layer 41, respectively.

Since thermal strain of the metal member 30 is generated in the vicinity due to heat generation of the semiconductor element 10, the thermal stress in the vicinity of each pore 31 is relaxed. Therefore, since the thermal stress due to the thermal expansion of each metal member 30 can be relaxed, the thermal stress applied to the second bonding layer 42 for joining the metal member 30 to the wiring layer 22 is relaxed, and the second bonding is performed. The cohesive failure of the layer 42 can be suppressed. Therefore, even in the semiconductor device using each of the metal members 30 shown in FIGS. 18 to 22, the occurrence of product failure such as bonding failure and conduction failure is suppressed, so that reliability can be improved.
 図19~図22に示す各金属部材30は、図18に示す金属部材30と比較して、複数の第1貫通孔31A、複数の第2貫通孔31Bあるいは複数の第3貫通孔31Cのいずれかが形成されていない。そのため、熱を拡散するための領域が大きいので、放熱性の向上を図る上で有効である。ただし、複数の細孔31が形成されていない金属部材と比較すると、熱応力を緩和させることができるが、図18に示す金属部材30と比較すると、熱応力の緩和効果は低減する可能性がある。 Each of the metal members 30 shown in FIGS. 19 to 22 has a plurality of first through holes 31A, a plurality of second through holes 31B, or a plurality of third through holes 31C, as compared with the metal member 30 shown in FIG. The metal is not formed. Therefore, since the area for diffusing heat is large, it is effective in improving heat dissipation. However, the thermal stress can be relaxed as compared with the metal member in which the plurality of pores 31 are not formed, but the effect of relaxing the thermal stress may be reduced as compared with the metal member 30 shown in FIG. is there.
 図23および図24に示す各金属部材30は、金属ワイヤをたとえば所定の金型を用いて圧縮することにより、複雑に屈曲した状態でひと塊にしたものである。この金属ワイヤの構成材料は、たとえば銅あるいは銅合金である。なお、各金属部材30は、1つの金属ワイヤから構成されていてもよいし、複数の金属ワイヤから構成されていてもよい。図23は、直方体状の塊にした場合を示しており、図24は、円環状の塊にした場合を示している。なお、本変形例にかかる金属部材30は、直方体状あるいは円環状に限定されず、その他、立方体状、円柱状などであってもよい。当該各金属部材30は、複雑に絡み合った金属ワイヤの隙間に、複数の空間が取り込まれている。このような構成の各金属部材30は、複数の細孔31が形成された多孔質体である。 Each of the metal members 30 shown in FIGS. 23 and 24 is formed by compressing a metal wire using, for example, a predetermined mold, in a complicatedly bent state. The constituent material of this metal wire is, for example, copper or a copper alloy. In addition, each metal member 30 may be composed of one metal wire, or may be composed of a plurality of metal wires. FIG. 23 shows a case where a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped mass is formed, and FIG. 24 shows a case where an annular mass is formed. The metal member 30 according to this modification is not limited to a rectangular parallelepiped shape or an annular shape, and may be a cube shape or a columnar shape. In each of the metal members 30, a plurality of spaces are incorporated in the gaps between the metal wires that are intricately intertwined. Each metal member 30 having such a structure is a porous body in which a plurality of pores 31 are formed.
 図23および図24に示す各金属部材30を用いた場合であっても、先述の空間付近において、半導体素子10の発熱に起因する金属部材30の熱ひずみが生じるため、空間付近の熱応力が緩和される。したがって、各金属部材30の熱膨張による熱応力を緩和させることができるので、当該金属部材30を配線層22に接合するための第2接合層42にかかる熱応力が緩和し、第2接合層42の凝集破壊を抑制できる。よって、図23および図24に示す各金属部材30を用いた半導体装置においても、接合不良や導通不良などの製品故障の発生が抑制されるので、信頼性を向上させることができる。 Even when the metal members 30 shown in FIGS. 23 and 24 are used, thermal strain of the metal member 30 due to heat generation of the semiconductor element 10 occurs in the vicinity of the above-mentioned space, so that thermal stress in the vicinity of the space is generated. It will be relaxed. Therefore, since the thermal stress due to the thermal expansion of each metal member 30 can be relaxed, the thermal stress applied to the second bonding layer 42 for joining the metal member 30 to the wiring layer 22 is relaxed, and the second bonding layer is relaxed. The cohesive failure of 42 can be suppressed. Therefore, even in the semiconductor device using each of the metal members 30 shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the occurrence of product failure such as bonding failure and conduction failure is suppressed, so that reliability can be improved.
