Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, and more particularly to techniques which are effective when applied to a semiconductor device having a plurality of leads that extend inside and outside a sealing body.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A semiconductor device of QFP (Quad Flat package) type, for example, has been known as one of semiconductor devices well suited for increasing the number of pins. In general, the semiconductor device of the QFP type is manufactured by an assembling process employing a lead frame. Concretely, it is manufactured in such a way that a semiconductor chip is mounted through an adhesive on the chip mounting surface of a die pad (also termed a “tab”) which is supported on the frame member of the lead frame through supporting leads, that electrodes (also termed “bonding pads”) formed on the circuit forming surface of the semiconductor chip and the inner lead portions (also termed the “inner leads”) of leads (leads for connections) supported by the frame member of the lead frame are thereafter electrically connected by pieces of conductive wire, that the semiconductor chip, the die pad, the supporting leads, the inner lead portions of the connection leads, and the wire pieces are thereafter encapsulated with a sealing body which is made of an insulating resin, that tie bars (also termed “dam bars”) which tie the adjacent ones of the connection leads are thereafter cut away, that the outer lead portions (also termed the “outer leads”) of the connection leads are thereafter subjected to a plating treatment, that the outer lead portions of the connection leads are thereafter cut away from the frame member of the lead frame, that the outer lead portions of the connection leads are thereafter shaped into a gull-wing shape which is one of flat packaging (surface-mounted) lead shapes, and that the supporting leads are thereafter cut away from the frame member of the lead frame.

Each of the outer lead portions of the connection leads molded into the gull-wing shape is constructed having a root part which protrudes out of the sealing body, an intermediate part which bends downwards from the root part, and a mounting part which extends from the intermediate part in the same direction as the extending direction of the root part. Such mounting parts are employed as terminal parts for external connections in the case where the semiconductor device is soldered and mounted onto a mounting substrate.

Meanwhile, in the semiconductor device of the QFP type, the number of pins is increasing more and more as a circuit system to be included in the semiconductor chip becomes higher in the density of integration and larger in the number of functions. A lead array in the outer lead portions of the connection leads is set at a narrower pitch with the increase in the number of pins.

The narrower pitch of the outer lead portions is promoted by narrowing the interval between the adjacent connection leads and the width of each of the connection leads. Therefore, when the semiconductor device is soldered and mounted onto the mounting substrate, such defective mounting is liable to occur that a solder bridge appears across the mounting parts of a certain one of the outer lead portions and the outer lead portion adjoining the certain outer lead portion, to short-circuit the corresponding adjacent leads.

Besides, when the outer lead portions are molded into the gull-wing shape, such defective lead molding is liable to occur that the outer lead portions are molded into a state where they bend in the direction of arraying the connection leads (laterally of the outer lead portions), due to their insufficient mechanical strength. The defective lead molding forms a factor for incurring the short-circuit defect that the mounting part of a certain one of the outer lead portions comes into touch with the mounting part of the outer lead portion adjoining the certain outer lead portion, and also a factor for incurring the appearance of the solder bridge in the mounting operation.

As a technique for solving such problems ascribable to the narrowed pitch of the outer lead portions, by way of example, one wherein the lead width of the shoulder part (root part) of the outer lead of each connection lead is set broader than that of the base part (mounting part) thereof is disclosed in the official gazette of Japanese Patent Laid-open No. 350003/1994 (laid open on Dec. 22, 1994). According to this technique, the shoulder parts of the outer leads are endowed with sufficient rigidity. Therefore, even when mechanical stresses have acted on the shoulder parts in the forming operation, the connection leads do not deform into greatly discrepant geometries, so that a conduction defect ascribable to the touch between the connection leads adjoining each other, a conduction defect ascribable to the insufficient touch of the connection lead with an electrode, etc. can be prevented from occurring. Moreover, a pitch of predetermined dimension is ensured by narrowing the lead width of the base parts of the outer leads. Therefore, in a case where a semiconductor integrated circuit device is soldered to a printed circuit board, the solder bridge due to which the adjacent connection leads are electrically connected by a solder can be simultaneously prevented from appearing.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A point to be explained below, however, is not considered in the technique mentioned above.

The bend of the outer lead portions in the connection lead arraying direction in the forming operation is governed by the lead width of the root parts of the outer lead portions. In a case where the lead width of the root parts is equal to or greater than the lead thickness thereof, the mechanical strength of the root parts in the connection lead arraying direction is high, and hence, the bend of the outer lead portions in the connection lead arraying direction in the forming operation can be suppressed to some extent. However, in a case where the lead width of the root parts is less than the lead thickness thereof, the mechanical strength of the root parts in the connection lead arraying direction is low, and hence, the bend of the outer lead portions in the connection lead arraying direction in the forming operation becomes difficult of suppression. In other words, the lead thickness of the root parts needs to be considered in order that the defective lead forming of the outer lead portions may be suppressed by setting the lead width of the root parts broader than the lead width of the mounting parts.

An object of the present invention is to provide techniques which are capable of suppressing the defective lead forming and defective mounting of a semiconductor device.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the description of this specification when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

A typical aspect of performance of the present invention is briefly summarized as follows:

A semiconductor device comprises a sealing body which has a square planar shape, a semiconductor chip which lies within said sealing body, and a plurality of leads (leads for connections) which are electrically connected with electrodes of said semiconductor chip, which extend inside and outside said sealing body and which are arrayed along latera of said sealing body, wherein an outer lead portion of each of said leads is such that a root part which protrudes out of said sealing body is formed at a lead width being equal to or greater than a lead thickness, and that a mounting part which joins to said root part through an intermediate part is formed at a lead width being less than the lead thickness.

According to the above expedient, the root parts of the outer lead portions are formed at the lead width equal to or greater than the lead thickness, so that the mechanical strength of the root parts in the direction of arraying the leads becomes higher than in case of forming the root parts of the outer lead portions at a lead width less than the lead thickness. It is therefore possible to suppress the defective lead forming that, in a lead forming operation for the outer lead portions, these outer lead portions are shaped into a state where they bend in the lead arraying direction.

Besides, the mounting parts of the outer lead portions are formed at the lead width less than the lead thickness, so that the interval between the respectively adjacent leads at the mounting parts becomes broader than in case of forming the mounting parts of the outer lead portions at a lead width equal to or greater than the lead thickness. It is therefore possible to suppress solder bridges which appear across the mounting parts of the adjacent leads in soldering and mounting the semiconductor device onto a mounting substrate, and to suppress the defective mounting that the adjacent leads short-circuit.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Now, the construction of the present invention will be described in conjunction with embodiments in which the present invention is applied to a semiconductor device of QFP type. Incidentally, throughout the drawings for describing the embodiments, the same symbols are assigned to parts having the same functions, which shall be omitted from repeated explanation.

FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a semiconductor device being an embodiment of the present invention with the upper part of a sealing body removed therefrom, FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view taken along line A—A indicated in FIG. 1 , and FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the essential portions of the semiconductor device.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the semiconductor device of this embodiment is constructed having a semiconductor chip 1 , a die pad 3 , four supporting leads 4 , a plurality of leads for connections 5 , a plurality of pieces of conductive wire 9 , and the sealing body 10 .

The semiconductor chip 1 lies within the sealing body 10 , and is mounted through an adhesive on the chip mounting surface of the die pad 3 in a state where the circuit forming surface 1 A of the front and rear surfaces of this semiconductor chip faces upwards. By way of example, the semiconductor chip 1 chiefly includes a semiconductor substrate which is made of single-crystal silicon, and insulating layers and wiring layers which are formed over the semiconductor substrate. The planar shape of the semiconductor chip 1 is a square shape, which is a regular square in this embodiment.

A logic circuit system, for example, is constructed as a circuit system in the semiconductor chip 1 . The logic circuit system mainly includes transistor elements formed on the principal surface of the semiconductor substrate, and wiring lines formed in the wiring layers.

The circuit forming surface 1 A of the semiconductor chip 1 is formed with a plurality of electrodes (bonding pads) 2 along the respective latera of the semiconductor chip 1 at the outer periphery thereof. The plurality of electrodes 2 are formed in the uppermost one of the wiring layers of the semiconductor chip 1 , and they are electrically connected through the wiring lines to the transistor elements constituting the circuit system, respectively. Each of the plurality of electrodes 2 is formed of, for example, an aluminum (Al) film or an aluminum alloy film.

The die pad 3 lies within the sealing body 10 . The planar shape of the die pad 3 is, for example, a square shape, and the external size thereof is somewhat larger than that of the semiconductor chip 1 .

The planar shape of the sealing body 10 is a square shape, which is a regular square in this embodiment. In order to attain a lower stress, the sealing body 10 is formed of, for example, a biphenyl-based insulating resin which is doped with a phenolic hardener, silicone rubber, a filler, or the like. The sealing body 10 is formed by transfer molding technology which is well suited for mass production. The transfer molding technology is a process wherein, using a metal mold which includes a pot, a runner, a pouring gate and a cavity, an insulating resin is injected under pressure from the pot into the cavity through the runner as well as the pouring gate, thereby to form a sealing body.

The plurality of connection leads 5 extend inside and outside the sealing body 10 , respectively. The individual connection leads 5 are such that their inner lead portions 5 A lying within the sealing body 10 are arrayed along the respective latera of the semiconductor chip 1 at the outer periphery thereof, and that their outer lead portions 5 B lying outside the sealing body 10 are arrayed along the respective latera of the sealing body 10 at the outer periphery thereof.

The plurality of connection leads 5 are electrically connected through the wire pieces 9 to the plurality of electrodes 2 formed on the circuit forming surface 1 A of the semiconductor chip 1 , respectively. Each of the wire pieces 9 has its one end side connected to the electrode 2 of the semiconductor chip 1 , and has its other end side connected to the distal or front end part of the inner lead portion 5 A. Gold (Au) wire, for example, is employed as the wire 9 . By way of example, bonding in which ultrasonic vibrations are used conjointly with thermocompression is employed as a method of connecting the wire 9 .

The four supporting leads 4 lie within the sealing body 10 , and are arranged outside the outer periphery of the semiconductor chip 1 . Each of the four supporting leads 4 is integral with the corresponding one of the four corners of the die pad 3 , and extends toward the corresponding one of the four corners of the sealing body 10 . Each of the four supporting leads 4 is subjected to a bending work for locating the die pad 3 at a level lower than that of the inner lead portions 5 A of the connection leads 5 .

The outer lead portions 5 B of the respective connection leads 5 are shaped into, for example, a gull-wing shape which is one of flat packaging shapes. As illustrated in FIG. 3 , each of the outer lead portions 5 B formed into the gull-wing shape is constructed having a root part 5 B 1 which protrudes out of the sealing body 10 , an intermediate part 5 B 2 which bends downwards (onto the side of the rear surface of the front and rear surfaces of the sealing body 10 ) from the root part 5 B 1 , and a mounting part 5 B 3 which extends in the same direction as the extending direction of the root part 5 B 1 from the intermediate part 5 B 2 . The mounting part 5 B 3 is used as a terminal for external connection in the case where the semiconductor device is mounted onto a mounting substrate with a solder. Such outer lead portions 5 B are arrayed at a pitch of, for example, 0.4 [mm] in this embodiment.

In the outer lead portion 5 B of each connection lead 5 , the lead width W 1 of the root part 5 B 1 is broader than the lead width W 3 of the mounting part 5 B 3 . Further, the lead width W 1 of the root part 5 B 1 is set at a dimension being equal to or greater than the lead thickness T of the connection lead 5 , whereas the lead width W 3 of the mounting part 5 B 3 is set at a dimension being less than the lead thickness T. In this embodiment, the lead width W 1 of the root part 5 B 1 is 0.15 [mm], the lead width W 3 of the mounting part 5 B 3 is 0.14 [mm], and the lead thickness T of the connection lead 5 is 0.15 [mm]. In this manner, the root parts 5 B 1 of the outer lead portions 5 B are formed at the lead width W 1 being equal to or greater than the lead thickness T, whereby the mechanical strength of the root parts in the connection lead arraying direction becomes higher than in case of forming the root parts 5 B 1 of the outer lead portions 5 B at a lead width less than the lead thickness T. Besides, the mounting parts 5 B 3 of the outer lead portions 5 B are formed at the lead width W 3 being less than the lead thickness T, whereby the interval between the respectively adjacent connection leads at the mounting parts 5 B 3 becomes broader than in case of forming the mounting parts 5 B 3 of the outer lead portions 5 B at a lead width equal to or greater than the lead thickness T.

The outer lead portion 5 B of each connection lead 5 includes a tie bar separating part 5 B 4 which has a lead width W 2 broader than the lead width W 1 of the root part 5 B 1 , and which is provided at the intermediate part 5 B 2 . In this embodiment, the entire intermediate part 5 B 2 except the tie bar separating part 5 B 4 is formed at the same lead width as that of the mounting part 5 B 3 .

Next, the schematic construction of a lead frame which is used in an assembling process (manufacturing process) for the semiconductor device will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 . FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view of the lead frame, while FIG. 5 is an enlarged schematic plan view of essential portions shown in FIG. 4 .

As illustrated in FIG. 4 , the lead frame LF is constructed having a die pad 3 , four supporting leads 4 , a plurality of leads for connections 5 , lead support portions 7 etc., within a lead arrangement region whose perimeter is defined by a frame member 8 and which has a square shape when viewed in plan. The die pad 3 lies at the central part of the lead arrangement region, and is formed in a square planar shape. Each of the four supporting leads 4 is integral with the corresponding corner of the die pad 3 on one end side thereof, and it is integral with the lead supporting portion 7 provided at the corresponding corner of the lead arrangement region, on the other end side thereof. The lead support portions 7 are integral with the frame member 8 . Each of the four supporting leads 4 is subjected to a bending work for locating the die pad 3 at a level lower than that of the connection leads 5 .

The plurality of connection leads 5 are divided into four lead groups, which are disposed at the respective latera of the frame member 8 so as to surround the die pad 3 . The connection leads 5 of each lead group are arrayed along the corresponding latus of the frame member 8 . Besides, each of the connection leads 5 of each lead group lies near the die pad 3 on one end side thereof and is integral with the frame member 8 on the other end side thereof. As illustrated in FIG. 5 , the connection leads 5 of each lead group are constructed of a single lead member having inner lead portions (portions surrounded with a dot-and-dash line in the figure) 5 A which are to be arranged inside a sealing body, and outer lead portions 5 B which are to be arranged outside the sealing body. Also, the connection leads 5 of each lead group are tied with the respectively adjacent connection leads 5 through tie bars 6 which are provided for the purpose of preventing a resin from flowing out when the sealing body is formed. The tie bars 6 are arranged near the root parts of the outer lead portions 5 B.

In the outer lead portion 5 B of each connection lead 5 , an inward part lying on the side of the inner lead portion 5 A with respect to the tie bar 6 is formed at a lead width being equal to or greater than a lead thickness, and an outward part lying on the side of the frame member 8 with respect to the tie bar 6 is formed at a lead width being less than the lead thickness. In the lead frame LF of this embodiment, the lead width of the inward part of the outer lead portion 5 B is set at 0.15 [mm], the lead width of the outward part of the outer lead portion 5 B is set at 0.14 [mm], and the lead thickness is set at 0.15 [mm].

By way of example, the lead frame LF is formed in such a way that a flat material made of an alloy of iron (Fe)-nickel (Ni) system (whose Ni content is, for example, 42 or 50 [%]) is subjected to an etching process or a press work, thereby to form a predetermined lead pattern, whereupon the bending work for locating the die pad 3 below the connection leads 5 is carried out for each of the four supporting leads 4 .

Next, the assembling process of the semiconductor device will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 , 6 and 7 . FIGS. 6 and 7 are schematic sectional views for explaining a lead forming step.

First, the lead frame LF shown in FIG. 4 is prepared. Thereafter, a semiconductor chip 1 is mounted through an adhesive onto the chip mounting surface of the die pad 3 which is supported by the frame member 8 of the lead frame LF through the supporting leads 4 as well as the lead supporting portions 7 . Thereafter, electrodes 2 formed on the circuit forming surface 1 A of the semiconductor chip 1 and the inner lead portions 5 A of the connection leads 5 supported by the frame member 8 of the lead frame LF are electrically connected by pieces of conductive wire 9 . Thereafter, the semiconductor chip 1 , the die pad 3 , the supporting leads 4 , the inner lead portions 5 A of the connection leads 5 , and the wire pieces 9 are encapsulated with a sealing body 10 on the basis of transfer molding technology. Thereafter, the tie bars 6 tying the adjacent connection leads 5 are cut away. Thereafter, the outer lead portions 5 B of the connection leads 5 are subjected to a solder plating treatment by electroplating.

Subsequently, the outer lead portions 5 B of the connection leads 5 are formed into a gull-wing shape having root parts 5 B 1 each of which protrudes out of the sealing body 10 , intermediate parts 5 B 2 each of which bends downwards (onto the side of the rear surface of the front and rear surfaces of the sealing body 10 ) from the root part 5 B 1 , and mounting parts 5 B 3 each of which extends in the same direction as the extending direction of the root part 5 B 1 from the intermediate part 5 B 2 . More specifically, the outer lead portions 5 B of the connection leads 5 are shaped into the gull-wing shape in such a way that, as illustrated in FIG. 6 , the root part of each of the outer lead portions 5 B is clamped by the protuberances of a lead keeper member 15 A and a bending bed 15 B, while a bending punch 16 is brought into touch with the distal end part of the outer lead portion 5 B, and that, as illustrated in FIG. 7 , the bending punch 16 is thereafter moved aslant toward the protuberance of the bending bed 15 B. Here at the lead forming step of the outer lead portion 5 B, the defective lead forming of the outer lead portion 5 B into the state in which it bends in the direction of arraying the connection leads 5 can be suppressed for the reason that, since the root part 5 B 1 of the outer lead portion 5 B is formed at the lead width W 1 equal to or greater than the lead thickness T, the mechanical strength of the root part 5 B 1 in the connection lead arraying direction becomes higher than in case of forming the root part 5 B 1 of the outer lead portion 5 B at a lead width less than the lead thickness T.

Subsequently, the distal end parts of the mounting parts 5 B 3 are cut off in order to properly locate the distal ends of the mounting parts 5 B 3 of the outer lead portions 5 B. Thereafter, the supporting leads 4 are cut away from the lead supporting portions 7 of the lead frame LF. In this way, the semiconductor device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 through 3 is substantially completed.

The semiconductor device thus constructed is mounted on a mounting substrate 20 as illustrated in FIG. 8 (a schematic perspective view of the essential portions of the semiconductor device in a state where this semiconductor device has been mounted on the mounting substrate). The mounting of the semiconductor device is done in such a way that solder paste layers are formed on the electrodes 20 A of the mounting substrate 20 by, for example, screen printing, that the semiconductor device is thereafter arranged on the mounting substrate 20 with the mounting parts 5 B 3 of the respective outer lead portions 5 B located on the electrodes 20 A through the corresponding solder paste layers, that the resultant mounting substrate 20 is thereafter conveyed into, for example, an infrared reflow furnace, and that the solder paste layers are thereafter molten, followed by hardening. Here at the mounting step of the semiconductor device, solder bridges which appear across the mounting parts 5 B 3 of the outer lead portions 5 B can be suppressed to suppress the defective mounting of the short-circuit between the connection leads 5 for the reason that, since the mounting part 5 B 3 of the outer lead portion 5 B is formed at the lead width W 3 less than the lead thickness T, the interval between the respectively adjacent connection leads 5 at the mounting parts 5 B 3 becomes broader than in case of forming the mounting part of the outer lead portion 5 B at a lead width equal to or greater than the lead thickness T.

In this manner, the following effects are attained in accordance with this embodiment:

Since the root parts 5 B 1 of outer lead portions 5 B are formed at a lead width W 1 being equal to or greater than a lead thickness T, the mechanical strength of the root parts 5 B 1 in the direction of arraying connection leads 5 becomes higher than in case of forming the root parts 5 B 1 of the outer lead portions 5 B at a lead width less than the lead thickness T. It is therefore possible to suppress the defective lead forming that, in a lead forming operation for the outer lead portions 5 B, these outer lead portions 5 B are formed into the state in which they bend in the connection lead arraying direction.

Besides, since the mounting parts 5 B 3 of the outer lead portions 5 B are formed at a lead width W 3 being less than the lead thickness T, the interval between the respectively adjacent connection leads at the mounting parts 5 B 3 becomes broader than in case of forming the mounting parts 5 B 3 of the outer lead portions 5 B at a lead width equal to or greater than the lead thickness T. It is therefore possible to suppress solder bridges which appear across the mounting parts 5 B 3 of the adjacent leads 5 in soldering and mounting a semiconductor device onto a mounting substrate 20 , and to suppress the defective mounting that the adjacent connection leads 5 short-circuit.

By the way, this embodiment has been described concerning the example wherein each of the outer lead portions 5 B is molded into the configuration in which the tie bar separating part 5 B 4 is provided at the intermediate part 5 B 2 . However, each of the outer lead portions 5 B may well be molded into a configuration in which a tie bar separating part 5 B 4 is provided at the root part 5 B 1 .

Besides, although the example employing the lead frame made of the alloy material of Fe—Ni system has been described in this embodiment, it is also allowed to employ a lead frame made of an alloy material of copper (Cu) system being superior in electric conductivity to the alloy material of Fe—Ni system. Since, in this case, the alloy material of Cu system is softer than the alloy material of Fe—Ni system, the lead width of the root parts 5 B 1 of the outer lead portions 5 B should desirably be set somewhat broader than in the case of the embodiment described before. Also, as illustrated in FIG. 9 (a schematic perspective view of essential portions), the lead width of the entire intermediate part 5 B 2 except the tie bar separating part 5 B 4 and a part on the side of the mounting part 5 B 3 should desirably be set at the same lead width as that of the root part 5 B 1 .

While the invention made by the inventors has been concretely described above in conjunction with the embodiments, it is a matter of course that the present invention is not restricted to the foregoing embodiments, but that it is variously alterable within a scope not departing from the purport thereof.

By way of example, the present invention is applicable to semiconductor devices of flat packaging type in which the outer lead portions of connection leads are set at a narrow pitch.
