Abstract
There is provided a palladium-coated copper bonding wire that does not cause a shrinkage cavity during first bonding, has high bonding reliability, and is capable of maintaining excellent bonding reliability for a long period of time even in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. A palladium-coated copper bonding wire in which a concentration of palladium is 1.0 mass % or more and 4.0 mass % or less relative to the total of copper, palladium, and a sulfur group element, a total concentration of the sulfur group element is 50 mass ppm or less, and a concentration of sulfur is 5 mass ppm or more and 12 mass ppm or less, a concentration of selenium is 5 mass ppm or more and 20 mass ppm or less, or a concentration of tellurium is 15 mass ppm or more and 50 mass ppm or less, and the palladium-coated copper bonding wire including a palladium-concentrated region with the average concentration of palladium of 6.5 atom % or more and 30.0 atom % or less relative to the total of copper and palladium within a range from a surface of a tip portion of a free air ball formed at a tip of the wire to 5.0 nm or more and 100.0 nm or less.
