Abstract

In light emitting diode (LED) chip packaging, wire bonding is an important process that connects the LED chip on the lead frame pad with the Au wire and enables electrical operation for the next process. The wire bonding process is divided by two types: thermo compression bonding and ultrasonic bonding. Generally, the wire bonding process consists of three steps: 1st ball bonding that bonds the shape of the ball on the LED chip electrode, looping process that hangs the wire toward another connecting part with a loop shape, and 2nd stitch bonding that forms and bonds to another electrode. This study analyzed the factors affecting the LED die bonding processes to optimize the process capability that bonds a small Zener diode chip on the PLCC (plastic-leaded chip-carrier) LED package frame, and then applied response surface analysis. The design of experiment (DOE) was established considering the five factors, three levels, and four responses by analyzing the factors. As a result, the optimal conditions that meet all the response targets can be derived.

본 와이어 본딩은 발광 다이오드의 패키징 공정에서 매우 중요한 공정으로 금 와이어를 이용하여 발광 다이오드 칩과 리드 프레임을 연결함으로써 다음 공정에서의 전기적 작동을 가능하게 한다. 와이어 본딩 공정은 얇은 금속선을 연결하는 공정으로 열 압착 본딩(thermo compression bonding)과 초음파 본딩(ultra sonic bonding)이 있다. 일반적인 와이어 본딩 공정은 LED 칩 상부 전극 부위에 볼 모양의 본딩을 진행하는 1st ball bonding 공정, loop를 형성하여 다른 전원 연결부위로 wire를 늘어뜨리는 looping 공정, 다른 전극 부위 상부에 stitch를 형성하여 bonding 하는 2nd stitch bonding으로 구분된다. 본 논문에서는 발광 다이오드 다이 본딩 공정에 영향을 주는 다양한 공정 변수에 대하여 분석을 수행하였다. 그리고 반응 표면 분석법을 통하여 Zener 다이오드 칩과 PLCC 발광 다이오드 패키지 프레임을 연결하는 공정 최적화 결과를 도출하였다. 실험 계획법은 5인자, 3수준에 대하여 설정하였으며 4가지 반응에 대하여 인자를 분석하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 모든 목표에 맞는 최적 조건을 도출하였다.
