Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of circuit board electroplating, and particularly relates to a copper electroplating solution for ceramic packaging substrates and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] LED is a semiconductor solid-state light-emitting device based on the PN junction electroluminescence principle. Different semiconductor materials can be used to prepare LED devices of different wavelengths. LED chip is a key device of LED. The quantum efficiency of ultraviolet LED chip is low, and it is easy to cause the chip to accumulate too much heat. If a large amount of heat is not discharged in time, the junction temperature of the LED will rise, and when the temperature exceeds the bearing temperature of the chip, the light-emitting efficiency of the LED will rapidly decrease, light decay will occur, and the emission spectrum will shift. When the junction temperature reaches 125℃ or above, the LED will even fail.
[0003] At present, the PN junction temperature is generally reduced from two aspects of reducing heat generation and accelerating heat dissipation. On the one hand, an AlN (aluminum nitride) buffer layer is introduced on the sapphire substrate, and an AlN / AlGaN (aluminum nitride / gallium nitride) superlattice structure is used to reduce the dislocation number of epitaxial material, improve the quantum efficiency, and reduce heat generation. On the other hand, flip-chip ultraviolet LED chips are manufactured, and flip-chip eutectic technology is used to directly bond the ultraviolet LED chips to a high-thermal-conductivity packaging substrate by eutectic bonding, so as to reduce the packaging interface thermal resistance, so that the heat generated by the chip can be effectively conducted to the packaging substrate, and the junction temperature of the ultraviolet LED is reduced.
[0004] In addition, since the ultraviolet LED chip is very sensitive to the external environment, it is easy to cause performance degradation or failure due to the invasion of water vapor and dust. Air-tight packaging is often used to effectively separate the chip from the surrounding environment, prevent the invasion of surrounding moisture during the working life, ensure the normal work of the chip, and make it obtain good long-term reliability, so it has become one of the important development directions of ultraviolet LED packaging.
[0005] At present, most ultraviolet LED packages generally use epoxy resin or silicone organic materials coated on the surface of the chip. This packaging structure is simple, the process is mature, and the cost is relatively low. However, it is difficult to ensure the reliability of the organic material working in high-intensity ultraviolet light, humidity and heat for a long time.
[0006] In order to solve the problems existing in the packaging of ultraviolet LED chips, firstly, inorganic material metal is used instead of organic material, then the ultraviolet LED chip is placed inside the metal dam structure, vacuum is extracted or inert gas is filled, and the quartz glass lens is used to realize airtight sealing, so that the reliability of the ultraviolet LED is improved. The ceramic packaging substrate has high line precision and high surface flatness, and can be prepared with a through hole, so as to meet the packaging requirements of flip chip, and therefore is the first choice for the packaging substrate of ultraviolet LED. In order to realize the airtight packaging of ultraviolet LED, a metal dam needs to be prepared on the plane ceramic packaging substrate, and the ceramic packaging substrate with the dam is also called three-dimensional ceramic packaging substrate. The dam preparation direction mainly includes two aspects: one is to process the dam into a shape of the dam by machining ceramic or metal materials, and then the dam and the plane packaging substrate are fixed together by means of gluing, welding and the like, so as to form a three-dimensional ceramic packaging substrate; the other is to directly prepare the dam structure on the plane packaging substrate, and there are technical solutions such as electroplating and inorganic slurry forming. The gluing process is simple, low in cost and easy for industrialized mass production. The disadvantage is that the organic glue will age continuously during use, and the reliability will be continuously reduced, especially in the case of sharp change of temperature or humidity. The dam is directly electroplated together with the LED ceramic packaging substrate, which is high in reliability, and the disadvantage is that the height of the dam is generally about 300 microns, and the conventional electroplating time is very long, which is more than ten hours, and the production efficiency is low.
[0007] In the process of electroplating the dam, under the condition that the thickness of the plating layer is required, the current density is inversely proportional to the electroplating time. If the electroplating time is shortened, the current density during electroplating needs to be increased, but the current density allowed by the existing copper electroplating additive is generally 5A / dm 2 At present, there is basically no high-speed copper electroplating additive with large current density specially used for the preparation of the dam of the LED packaging substrate, and the development of the copper electroplating solution for the ceramic packaging substrate and the use method thereof is an inevitable choice to adapt to the improvement of the production technology of special circuit boards in China. SUMMARY
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to develop a high-speed copper electroplating solution with large current density for the preparation of the dam of the LED ceramic packaging substrate, to increase the working current density during electroplating, to shorten the electroplating time, and to make the product meet the requirements of 8-12A / dm 2 High current density high-speed copper plating requirements.
[0009] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present application provides a copper electroplating solution for a ceramic packaging substrate and a use method thereof, and the use of a specific copper electroplating solution with suitable use parameters can effectively improve the working current density and improve the electroplating efficiency during the preparation of the dam.

[0121] As can be seen from Table 12, if the plating copper solution for ceramic packaging substrate is prepared by using the leveler not within the quality concentration range defined in the present application (Comparative Example 11, Comparative Example 12), the performance test results are not ideal. If the plating is performed by using the current density not within the range defined in the present application (in the use method of the plating copper solution for ceramic packaging substrate) (Comparative Example 13, Comparative Example 14), the performance test results are not ideal. If the plating is performed by using the anode type not within the range defined in the present application (in the use method of the plating copper solution for ceramic packaging substrate) (Comparative Example 15, Comparative Example 16), the performance test results are not ideal.
[0122] In summary, the present application provides a plating copper solution for ceramic packaging substrate and a use method thereof. The 3-sulfur-isothiuronium propyl sulfonic acid sodium compound in the plating copper solution can maintain good accelerator function under the condition of large current density plating and oxygen evolution at the anode. The octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether and nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether can uniformly disperse the electric power line at large current density in the solution at relatively high temperature (30-50°C). In addition, the accelerator, inhibitor, leveler and other components in the plating copper solution can synergistically cooperate to meet the requirement of 8-12 A / dm 2 2 high current density high speed copper plating.
[0123] The above merely provides a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical range disclosed in the present application, and these modifications or replacements shall be encompassed in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
