Abstract

According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes a wiring board, a controller chip that is provided on the wiring board and is sealed with a first resin composition, a nonvolatile memory chip that is provided on the first resin composition and is sealed with a second resin composition, a second bonding wire that connects a pad for electric power supply wiring of the controller chip to the wiring board and is sealed with the first resin composition, and a first bonding wire that connects a pad for signal wiring of the controller chip to the wiring board, is sealed with the first resin composition, and has a higher Pd content than that of the second bonding wire.

Claims (20)

1. A semiconductor device comprising:

a wiring board;

a controller chip provided on the wiring board, the controller chip sealed by a first resin layer;

a nonvolatile memory chip provided on the first resin layer, the nonvolatile memory chip and the first resin layer sealed by a second resin layer;

a second bonding wire, sealed by the first resin layer, that connects a pad for electric power supply wiring of the controller chip to the wiring board; and

a first bonding wire, sealed by the first resin layer, that connects a pad for signal wiring of the controller chip to the wiring board, wherein a palladium (Pd) content of the first bonding wire is greater than a Pd content of the second bonding wire.

2. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a third bonding wire, sealed by the second resin layer, that connects the nonvolatile memory chip to the wiring board and has a Pd content less than the Pd content of the first bonding wire,

wherein the first bonding wire is formed of PdAu alloy with the Pd content in a range equal to or greater than 0.05 wt % and equal to or less than 2.00 wt %,

each of the second bonding wire and the third bonding wire has the respective Pd content less than or equal to 0.01 wt % and is substantially made of Au, and

the pad for signal wiring and the pad for electric power supply wiring of the controller chip includes an aluminum (Al) pad.

3. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first bonding wire is a non-redundant wire, which causes operation failure of the controller chip when disconnected, and

the second bonding wire is a redundant wire, which does not cause operation failure of the controller chip when disconnected.

4. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a portion of the nonvolatile memory chip and the controller chip overlap with each other along a stacking direction of the wiring board and the controller chip.

5. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first resin layer has a filler content in a range equal to or greater than 40 wt % and equal to or less than 60 wt %.

6. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein an ionic conductivity of the first resin layer is greater than an ionic conductivity of the second resin layer.

7. The semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the first resin layer includes a die attach film (DAF).
