Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to connections made to integrated circuit bond pads and integrated circuit package external connections, and more particularly to connecting related bond pads and/or integrated circuit package external connections with a continuous single bond wire.
- An Integrated circuit device may comprise a semiconductor integrated circuit die mounted on a leadframe.
- the semiconductor integrated circuit die may comprise a plurality of bond pads that are electrically connected to inner leads of the leadframe, e.g., using bond wires.
- the semiconductor integrated circuit die, the inner portion of the leadframe (inner leads) and the bond wires may be encapsulated in an integrated circuit package. After encapsulation, a border or frame on the outer portion of the leadframe is cut to separate outer leads of the leadframe into connecting pins or surface mount contacts which are used to electrically connect the electronic circuitry in the semiconductor integrated circuit die with other externally arranged electronic components mounted on a substrate or printed circuit board.
- Integrated circuit devices are becoming more and more sophisticated while integrated circuit package size and the number of available package connections are being reduced. Limiting the number of package connections available for connecting to device circuits is necessary for both size and cost constraints. However, this may create a problem for the integrated circuit device manufacturer who must offer integrated circuit devices for many different types of configurations and applications. Integrated circuit device cost is reduced when a large quantity of the same device is produced. It is relatively easy to fabricate an integrated circuit device capable of many different configurations and uses then to have to perform various different metal mask operations so as to fabricate differently configured integrated circuit devices. A specific device configuration may then be selected during fabrication of the integrated circuit device with the leadframe by appropriate jumper connections between the die bond pads and inner lead fingers of the leadframe.
- integrated circuit dice with a great number of functionalities enables fabrication of one type of integrated circuit die that may be configured for many different applications, thus saving inventories of many different types of dice and/or having to run die wafers through different masking operations.
- the integrated circuit die becomes smaller, so does the integrated circuit package become smaller as does the availability of fewer external package connections, e.g., pins. Therefore the most economical way to produce integrated circuit devices is to increase the quantity during fabrication and production thereof, and selectively configure the integrated circuit device during automatic wire bonding of the integrated circuit die to the external package connections, e.g., leadframe.
- the newer fabrication processes that produce smaller integrated circuit dice result in being able to put more than one integrated circuit die in an integrated circuit package.
- electrically connecting the two or more dice together and/or to the external leadframe connections of the integrated circuit package also presents a problem because of the ever decreasing bond pad sizes and closer proximity between the smaller bond pads on the newer technology integrated circuit dice.
- a single wire may be ball or wedge (stitch) bonded between one or more die bond pads and one or more inner leads of a leadframe, and/or between a plurality of bond pads to create a common connection therebetween.
- Bond pads between two or more integrated circuit dice may be interconnected for configuring certain specific connections and/or functionalities in a single integrated circuit package.

Abstract
An integrated circuit device comprising an integrated circuit die having a plurality of bond pads that are selectively connected to a plurality of inner leads of a leadframe. At least two bond pads are connected to at least one of the inner leads, and/or at least two inner leads are connected to at least one of bond pads with a single bond wire. A single bond wire is ball or wedge bonded to a first bond pad or inner lead and subsequently wedge bonded to one or more second bond pads or inner leads, then it is connected to a third or last bond pad or inner lead. The single bond wire requires only one connection area at each of the bond pad(s) and/or inner lead(s). The bond pad(s) of the die and/or inner lead(s) of the leadframe are thereby electrically connected together by the single bond wire.
Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of commonly owned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/209,502, filed Jul. 31, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. ______, issued ______, entitled “Single Die Stitch Bonding” by Bruce Beauchamp, Andrew Tuthill, Joseph D. Fernandez and Anucha Phongsantichai, and is hereby incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.
- The present disclosure relates to connections made to integrated circuit bond pads and integrated circuit package external connections, and more particularly to connecting related bond pads and/or integrated circuit package external connections with a continuous single bond wire.
- An Integrated circuit device may comprise a semiconductor integrated circuit die mounted on a leadframe. The semiconductor integrated circuit die may comprise a plurality of bond pads that are electrically connected to inner leads of the leadframe, e.g., using bond wires. The semiconductor integrated circuit die, the inner portion of the leadframe (inner leads) and the bond wires may be encapsulated in an integrated circuit package. After encapsulation, a border or frame on the outer portion of the leadframe is cut to separate outer leads of the leadframe into connecting pins or surface mount contacts which are used to electrically connect the electronic circuitry in the semiconductor integrated circuit die with other externally arranged electronic components mounted on a substrate or printed circuit board.
- Integrated circuit devices are becoming more and more sophisticated while integrated circuit package size and the number of available package connections are being reduced. Limiting the number of package connections available for connecting to device circuits is necessary for both size and cost constraints. However, this may create a problem for the integrated circuit device manufacturer who must offer integrated circuit devices for many different types of configurations and applications. Integrated circuit device cost is reduced when a large quantity of the same device is produced. It is relatively easy to fabricate an integrated circuit device capable of many different configurations and uses then to have to perform various different metal mask operations so as to fabricate differently configured integrated circuit devices. A specific device configuration may then be selected during fabrication of the integrated circuit device with the leadframe by appropriate jumper connections between the die bond pads and inner lead fingers of the leadframe. Typically, various combinations of die bond pads are connected together through common connections to an inner lead(s) of the leadframe. However selecting a specific configuration in this fashion for configuration of the integrated circuit device becomes problematic when the reduced die, package and leadframe areas available for interconnecting option selection pads of the integrated circuit die are reduced in size. Making more than one wirebond connection to a die bond pad and/or inner lead of a leadframe may not be practical or even possible in the smaller and more densely packaged integrated circuits.
- Having integrated circuit dice with a great number of functionalities enables fabrication of one type of integrated circuit die that may be configured for many different applications, thus saving inventories of many different types of dice and/or having to run die wafers through different masking operations. As the integrated circuit die becomes smaller, so does the integrated circuit package become smaller as does the availability of fewer external package connections, e.g., pins. Therefore the most economical way to produce integrated circuit devices is to increase the quantity during fabrication and production thereof, and selectively configure the integrated circuit device during automatic wire bonding of the integrated circuit die to the external package connections, e.g., leadframe.
- In addition to having greater functionality available in the newer technology integrated circuit die, the newer fabrication processes that produce smaller integrated circuit dice result in being able to put more than one integrated circuit die in an integrated circuit package. However, electrically connecting the two or more dice together and/or to the external leadframe connections of the integrated circuit package also presents a problem because of the ever decreasing bond pad sizes and closer proximity between the smaller bond pads on the newer technology integrated circuit dice.
- Therefore, there is a need for connecting a plurality of integrated circuit bond pads and/or inner leads of a leadframe together without requiring multiple connections thereto. According to the teachings of this disclosure, the above-identified problems may be overcome as well as other shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies by providing multiple common connections in an integrated circuit device while requiring only a single connection point at each of the commonly connected integrated circuit die bond pads and/or inner leads of a leadframe. A single wire may be ball or wedge (stitch) bonded between one or more die bond pads and one or more inner leads of a leadframe, and/or between a plurality of bond pads to create a common connection therebetween. Bond pads between two or more integrated circuit dice may be interconnected for configuring certain specific connections and/or functionalities in a single integrated circuit package.

It should be understood, however, that the description herein of specific example embodiments is not intended to limit the disclosure to the particular forms disclosed herein, but on the contrary, this disclosure is to cover all modifications and equivalents as defined by the appended claims.
- Referring now to the drawings, the details of specific example embodiments are schematically illustrated. Like elements in the drawings will be represented by like numbers, and similar elements will be represented by like numbers with a different lower case letter suffix.
- The term “wirebonding” is generally accepted to mean the interconnection (via wire) of components, contact pads and conducting tracks. There are two basic wirebonding techniques that may be used in thermocompression (T/C), thermosonic (T/S) or ultrasonic (U/S) bonding processes, they are “ball bonding” and “wedge bonding.” Referring to
FIG. 1 , in ball bonding a wire, e.g.,bond wire 110, is passed through a hollow capillary tool (not shown) and a small portion of the end of this wire is heated to a molten condition wherein the surface tension of the molten metal forms a spherical shape, or ball, as the bond wire material solidifies. The ball at the end of the wire is pressed onto abond pad 104 of the semiconductor die 102 with sufficient force to cause plastic deformation and atomic interdiffusion of the ball and the underlying metallization of thebond pad 104. This creates a low resistance connection between thebond pad 104 and the ball at the end of thebond wire 110. - The capillary tool containing the wire is then raised and repositioned over the next connection point, e.g.,
inner lead 106 of the leadframe. A precisely shaped wire connection called a wire loop is thus created. Deforming the wire against theinner lead 106 makes the second bond (e.g., wedge bond or stitch bond). The deformation of the wire against theinner lead 106 may have a crescent or fishtail shape made by the imprint of the capillary tool's outer geometry. After this second connection is made, the wire is clamped and then broken off after the bond connection. - Wedge bonding derives its name from the shape of the bonding capillary tool. In wedge bonding, the wire is fed at an angle from about 30-60 degrees from the horizontal bonding surface through a hole in the back of a bonding wedge of the capillary tool. Normally, forward bonding is preferred, i.e., the first bond is made to the die
bond pad 104 and the second bond is made to theinner lead 106 of the leadframe. After the first bond operation, the wedge bonding capillary tool rises and executes a motion to create a desired wire loop shape (bond wire). At the second bond location, the wedge bonding capillary tool descends and makes the second bond connection. The movement of the axis of the wedge bonding capillary tool allows the wire to freely feed through the hole in the wedge bonding capillary tool. The bonded wire may be separated from the wire remaining in the wedge bonding capillary tool by using clamps to break the wire while machine bonding force is maintained on the second bond (clamp tear), or the clamp remains stationary and the wedge bonding capillary tool raises off the second bond area to tear the wire apart (table tear). - The wire is made of a conductive material such as metal, e.g., gold, copper, aluminum, combinations of these metals (alloys), or alloys of these metals in combination with other metals, e.g., Silicon (Si) and/or magnesium (Mg). The bonding surfaces may be coated or plated with a compatible conductive material, e.g., gold, aluminum, gold, or nickel, etc. It is contemplated and within the scope of this disclosure that any type of conductive material, e.g., metal or metal alloy may be used.

FIG. 1 , depicted is a schematic plan view of a prior art integrated circuit device comprising an integrated circuit die having bond pads thereon and connected with bond wires to respective ones of inner leads of a leadframe. The integrated circuit die 102 may have a plurality ofbond pads 104 thereon. Thebond pads 104 are connected to the electronic circuits (not shown) of the integrated circuit die 102. A leadframe (not entirely shown, but well known to those skilled in the art of integrated circuits) comprises a plurality ofinner leads 106, a plurality ofouter leads 108 and a support structure or “die paddle” (not shown). The integrated circuit die 102 is initially supported by the leadframe die paddle. The outer leads 108 may be formed into connecting pins or surface mount contacts as desired.Bond wires 110 electrically connect thebond pads 104 to respective ones of the inner leads 106. The integrated circuit die 102 and supporting die paddle,bond pads 104,inner leads 106 andbond wires 110 may be encapsulated in an integrated circuit package, schematically depicted by the outline referenced by the numeral 112. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , depicted is a schematic plan view of a prior art integrated circuit device comprising an integrated circuit die having two bond pads thereon and connected with two bond wires to a common inner lead of a leadframe. Twobond wires inner lead 106 a and thereby electrically interconnectbond pad 104 a,bond pad 104 b and theinner lead 106 a together. A problem exists however in that theinner lead 106 a must have sufficient free bonding area to accommodate two bond wire connections. When more than two interconnections are required, this bonding area problem is further exasperated. As semiconductor integrated circuit devices become smaller and more complex, there may not be sufficient bonding area on an inner lead or bond pad to accommodate more than one bond wire connection. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , depicted is a schematic plan view of a prior art integrated circuit device comprising an integrated circuit die having two bond pads thereon and connected with an internal metal mask jumper. During fabrication of the semiconductor integrated circuit die 102 a, aconductive jumper 310 may be created during a metallization step in the die fabrication process so as to interconnect, for example,bond pads jumper 310 may be used to configure or set options within thedie 102 a, however, different metallization masks and batch runs must be performed during the integrated circuit die fabrication process to achieve these different integrated circuit options. Thus, using mask jumper(s) 310 is not cost effective for a small quantity of semiconductor devices. In addition, a greater parts inventory is required when using mask jumpers since larger quantities of each semiconductor die configuration must be fabricated in order to be cost effective. - Referring now to
FIG. 4 , depicted is a schematic plan view of integrated circuit device comprising an integrated circuit die having two bond pads and an inner lead of a leadframe and connected together with a single bond wire, and two other inner leads of the leadframe connected to another bond pad with another single bond wire, according to specific example embodiments of this disclosure. Asingle bond wire 410 a connectsbond pad 104 a,inner lead 106 a andinner lead 106 b together and requires only one bond point a each connection area of thebond pad 104 a,inner lead 106 a andinner lead 106 b. A ball or wedge bond connection may be used at the first connection point of thebond wire 410 a, and subsequent connection points may use wedge (stitch) bonding. Thebond wire 410 a remains unbroken (continuous) until the last connection has been made. The first connection of thebond wire 410 a may begin at eitherbond pad 104 a orinner lead 106 b. The first connection may be at thebond pad 104 a. The intermediate connection at theinner lead 106 a may be a wedge (stitch) bond wherein thebond wire 410 a remains unbroken. For example, a simple interconnection operation may be performed as follows. First, the capillary tool bonds thebond wire 410 a to thebond pad 104 a of thedie 102, then the capillary tool moves to theinner lead 106 a. A wedge (stitch) bond is made to theinner lead 106 a, and then the capillary tool moves to theinner lead 106 b and bonds thebond wire 410 a thereto. In a similar fashion,bond wire 410 b may interconnectbond pad 104 b,bond pad 104 c andinner lead 106 c together. - Referring now to
FIG. 5 , depicted is a schematic plan view of the integrated circuit die illustrated inFIG. 4 with the addition of a device mode selection jumper commonly connecting mode option selection bond pads on the die, according to another specific example embodiment of this disclosure.Bond pads single bond wire 510 may connectbond pads bond pads - Referring now to
FIG. 6 , depicted is a schematic elevational view of an integrated circuit device having a single bond wire connecting bond pads of an integrated circuit die to an inner leadframe, according to specific example embodiments of this disclosure. The first connection of thebond wire 410 b may begin at eitherbond pad 104 a orinner lead 106. Preferably, the first connection will be at thebond pad 104 a. A connection tobond pad 104 b may be made by wedge bonding thebond wire 410 b which remains unbroken or continuous until bonded to theinner lead 106. After thebond wire 410 b has been bonded to theinner lead 106, it is separated from the wire at the tip of the capillary tool, thus completing the wedge (stitch) bond using thesingle bond wire 410 b. - Referring now to
FIG. 7 , depicted is a schematic plan view of an integrated circuit device comprising an integrated circuit die having bond pads and re-route bond pads thereon and an inner lead of a leadframe connected together with a single bond wire, according to yet another specific example embodiment of this disclosure.Bond pad 104 b is connected toinner lead 106 c with asingle bond wire 710. However, thesingle bond wire 710 must be routed across the face of the integrated circuit die 102 c and between thebond pads 104 at the lower left thereof. Doing so without intermediate support and routing of thesingle bond wire 710 would not work for fabrication and reliability reasons. By using there-route bond pads single bond wire 710 routing may be easily fabricated and produce a reliableintegrated circuit device 112. - Referring now to
FIG. 8 , depicted is a schematic plan view of an integrated circuit device comprising two integrated circuit dice in an integrated circuit package with certain ones of the bond pads of the two integrated circuit dice being connected together and to certain inner leads of a leadframe, according to specific example embodiments of this disclosure. A first integrated circuit die 102 c hasre-route bond pads re-route bond pads integrated circuit dice integrated circuit package 112 a.Bond pads 104 are connected to the inner leads 108 withbond wires 110,bond pad 104 a is connected toinner leads single bond wire 410 a, andbond pads inner lead 106 c with asingle bond wire 410 b, as more fully described hereinabove. - When a circuit function, e.g., input, output, input-output, etc., of the integrated circuit die 102 c is to be connected to another circuit function of the integrated circuit die 202, the
bond pad 104 d on die 102 c may be connected to thebond pad 104 e ondie 202 with asingle bond wire 810 a. However thebond pads re-route bond pads single bond wire 810 a the distance (and support) between connection points of thesingle bond wire 810 a are within safe design limits. - When a circuit function, e.g., input, output, input-output, etc., of the integrated circuit die 102 c is to be connected to an
inner lead 106 d but there is an obstacle, e.g., die 202, in the way, thebond pad 104 f on die 102 c may be connected to theinner lead 106 d on die 202 with asingle bond wire 810 b. However thebond pad 104 finner lead 106 d are too far apart in distance (and thedie 202 is in the way) for reliable connection using a bond wire. By using there-route bond pads single bond wire 810 b the distance, and support and interference of thedie 202 between connection points of thesingle bond wire 810 a are within safe and reliable design limits. - While embodiments of this disclosure have been depicted, described, and are defined by reference to example embodiments of the disclosure, such references do not imply a limitation on the disclosure, and no such limitation is to be inferred. The subject matter disclosed is capable of considerable modification, alteration, and equivalents in form and function, as will occur to those ordinarily skilled in the pertinent art and having the benefit of this disclosure. The depicted and described embodiments of this disclosure are examples only, and are not exhaustive of the scope of the disclosure.
