Problems solved by technology

Ideally, copper deposits have relatively low internal stress and high ductility; however, there is often a trade-off between internal stress and ductility

example 1

[0045] Prepare the following aqueous acidic copper electroplating baths at room temperature.

[0046] surface

[0047]

[0048] 1 PolyMax TM pA-66 / LC (available from Heritageplastics, Inc. Picayune, MS)

[0049] 2 PEG 12000

[0050] The composition of the copper electroplating baths was made using conventional laboratory procedures in which the organics were added to the water followed by the addition of the inorganic components. Stirring or agitation with heating is performed at a temperature below 30°C to ensure that all components are dissolved in the water. The bath was allowed to come to room temperature prior to copper plating. The acidic copper electroplating bath has a pH in the range of less than 1 to 1 at room temperature and during copper electroplating.

example 2

[0052] Two flexible copper / beryllium alloy foil test strips were dielectric coated on one side, enabling single-sided plating on the uncoated side. The test strips were taped to a support substrate with plating tape and placed in a Harlem cell containing an acidic copper plating bath with the bath 1 recipe. The bath is at room temperature. A strip of copper metal is used as the anode. Connect the test foil strip and anode to the rectifier. The test foil strips were copper plated at an average current density of 2ASD to deposit a copper thickness of 5 μm on the uncoated side of each strip. After plating was complete, the test strips were removed from the Harlem cell, rinsed with water, dried and the plating tape was removed from the test strips. Insert one end of the test strip into the screw clamp of a Sediment Stress Analyzer (available from Professional Testing and Development, Jacobs, PA). The test strips are at room temperature. The internal stress of the copper depos...

Abstract

The invention discloses an acid copper electroplating bath and a method for electroplating low internal stress and good ductility copper deposits. The acid copper electroplating bath provides improved low internal stress copper deposits with good ductility. The acid copper electroplating baths include one or more branched polyalkylenimines and one or more accelerators. The acid copper electroplating baths may be used to electroplate thin films on relatively thin substrates to provide thin film copper deposits having low internal stress and high ductility.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a copper electroplating bath for electroplating low internal stress copper deposits with excellent ductility. More specifically, the present invention relates to a copper electroplating bath for electroplating low internal stress copper deposits with good ductility, wherein the acidic copper electroplating bath comprises a branched polyalkylene in combination with certain accelerators base imine. Background technique [0002] Intrinsic or inherent stress in electrodeposited metals is a well known phenomenon caused by defects in the plated crystal structure. After the plating operation, such defects try to correct themselves, and this induces forces that shrink (tensile strength) or expand (compressive stress) the deposit. This stress and its relief can be problematic. For example, when plating is predominantly on one side of the substrate, curling, bowing and warping of the substrate can result depending on the flexi...
