Abstract
There is provided a bonding wire for a semiconductor device including a coating layer having Pd as a main component on a surface of a Cu alloy core material and a skin alloy layer containing Au and Pd on a surface of the coating layer, the bonding wire further improving 2nd bondability on a Pd-plated lead frame and achieving excellent ball bondability even in a high-humidity heating condition. The bonding wire for a semiconductor device including the coating layer having Pd as a main component on the surface of the Cu alloy core material and the skin alloy layer containing Au and Pd on the surface of the coating layer has a Cu concentration of 1 to 10 at % at an outermost surface thereof and has the core material containing either or both of Pd and Pt in a total amount of 0.1 to 3.0% by mass, thereby achieving improvement in the 2nd bondability and excellent ball bondability in the high-humidity heating condition. Furthermore, a maximum concentration of Au in the skin alloy layer is preferably 15 at % to 75 at %.
