Abstract

The invention discloses a copper electroplating method, which comprises the following steps: the first step, before the chemical electroplating process of the chip, the wafer groove is ultrasonically oscillated or flushed with deionized water to fill it with deionized water; the second step, Prepare the electroplating solution, the third step, the initial condition electroplating, the transition stage electroplating, and the final stage electroplating, set different parameters respectively. The present invention is used to form copper plating film on integrated circuit graphics with large size and depth, and conducts electroplating process step by step under different current density, silicon chip rotation speed, electroplating solution flow rate and silicon chip process position conditions, reducing the cost of electroplating process The required copper film thickness is shortened, thereby shortening the electroplating process time and chemical mechanical polishing process time, and saving the use of chemical consumables.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a copper electroplating method, which belongs to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuit technology. Background technique [0002] When forming a semiconductor chip, integrated circuit devices such as transistors are first formed on the surface of a semiconductor substrate in the semiconductor chip. An interconnection structure is then formed on the integrated circuit device. Bumps are formed on the surface of the semiconductor chip as contacts of integrated circuit devices. [0003] In a specific process for forming bumps, the UBM is formed first, and then the bumps are formed on the UBM. The formation of the UBM may include forming a copper seed layer, and forming a patterned mask on the copper seed layer, and a part of the copper seed layer is exposed through openings of the mask. An electroplating step is then performed on the exposed portion of the copper seed layer to electroplate a thick copper layer. ...
