Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis, and particularly relates to a carbazole-containing quaternary ammonium salt compound, a preparation method thereof and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Electroplating technology is used in aspects such as energy conservation, surface treatment of materials, and new materials, and is widely used in many industries such as clothing accessories, food packaging, building materials, the automotive industry, aerospace materials, portable electronic products, and the integrated circuit industry. It is a discipline and technology that develops as rapidly as the economy. The emergence and development of electroplating technology have greatly improved people's clothing, food, housing, and transportation, contributed to the R & D breakthroughs in the materials industry, and promoted the economic development of the country.

[0003] The application directions of electroplating technology are divided into decorative electroplating and functional electroplating. Decorative electroplating is mainly to electroplate the surface of the workpiece, covering a thin layer of metal on the surface of the workpiece, which plays roles such as ornamental, anti-corrosion, and wear resistance. For example, when installing faucets and car logos during decoration, which are generally made of plastic, in order to improve the use texture, increase ornamental value, save energy and reduce costs, a layer of metal is usually electroplated on the surface. This type of electroplating technology has a low threshold and is easy to master.

[0004] Functional electroplating generally refers to the precision processing of precision instruments and components, which can exhibit excellent and stable performance in specific scenarios such as vacuum, high pressure, and high current density, and is commonly used in key fields such as precision instruments, aerospace, and integrated circuits. This type of electroplating technology has high industry barriers, complex technology, strict requirements, and high trial-and-error costs. With the popularization and large-scale use of 5G globally, people's handheld and wearable devices, smart homes, and smart cities have been realized, and the integrated circuit behind these scenarios has contributed a lot.

[0005] The integrated circuit industry chain is huge, with an output value exceeding one trillion yuan. It is a leading industry in modern industry, promoting the continuous development of global technology upgrading and energy conservation and environmental protection. The upstream industry of integrated circuits is knowledge-intensive industries such as computer-aided design software, precision instruments, and new materials, and its downstream is consumer market fields such as smart homes, personal portable devices, communication devices, new energy vehicles, and smart cities. It can be said that the integrated circuit industry is the hub of the modern social system. Integrated circuits mainly involve industries such as new materials, precision instruments, computer software-aided design, and advanced manufacturing. They cover a wide range of fields, are knowledge-intensive industries, and have high industrial added value. With the emergence and proposal of the Internet, Moore's Law, the Internet of Things, and the Internet of Everything, it has greatly promoted and driven the development of the integrated circuit industry, making it account for an increasing proportion of the national economy. The integrated circuit industry is divided into: design, manufacturing, testing and packaging, and the materials, equipment, and software used in this process. Electroplating is an indispensable process in manufacturing and testing and packaging, and electroplating additives are one of the key materials in the integrated circuit electroplating process.

[0006] Integrated circuits, also known as chips, are fabricated through eight major processes: wafer manufacturing, oxidation, lithography, etching, thin film deposition, interconnect, testing, and packaging. The interconnect process includes two types: aluminum (Al) interconnect process and copper (Cu) interconnect process. Al is prone to corrosion and has a relatively low melting point. In addition, metal deposits need to be added in the Al interconnect process to separate Al from the wafer to prevent it from reacting with the wafer. However, with the process upgrade, the electrical performance of Al circuits cannot meet the requirements. Since Cu has lower resistance and better electrical performance, the Cu interconnect process is adopted. In the Cu interconnect process, a Cu seed layer is first deposited on the barrier layer, and then electroplating is used to fill blind vias or through-hole patterns with high aspect ratios. Finally, mechanical polishing is used to remove the excess copper.

[0007] The basic plating solution for electroplating copper contains copper sulfate, sulfuric acid, and chloride ions. To achieve better filling effects, three types of electroplating additives are also added: inhibitors (commonly polyethylene glycol (PEG)), accelerators (commonly sodium 3,3'-dithiodipropanesulfonate (SPS)), and leveling agents.

[0008] Carbazole (9H-carbazole), also known as dibenzopyrrole and 9-azaphenalene, is a common nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound. Its molecular formula is C 12 H 9 N, with a molecular weight of 167.21 g / mol. It is a colorless crystal or light gray powder, insoluble in water and inorganic acids, slightly soluble in ethanol, acetone, and benzene, but soluble in solvents such as acetic acid, chloroform, and carbon disulfide. It is obtained by distillation from coal tar and has traditionally been used as a raw material for dyes and pigments. In recent years, many researchers have synthesized a large number of carbazole derivatives using carbazole as the molecular synthesis substrate and carried out extensive research on the applications of these carbazole derivatives in different fields.

[0009] The present invention designs and synthesizes a series of previously unreported carbazole quaternary ammonium salt derivatives. Carbazole itself has a large conjugated π bond, which is more likely to adsorb on the surface of the copper layer, and its N+ center can more effectively inhibit the deposition of copper ions. It can be used as an electroplating leveling additive, especially as an electroplating additive in acidic copper sulfate plating solutions, playing a leveling role. After testing, good results have been obtained. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Based on the above research, the present invention uses carbazole as the starting material to design and synthesize a new class of compounds for use as electroplating additives in acidic copper sulfate plating solutions. With the in-depth research, it is found that by appropriately modifying the structure of the existing carbazole quaternary ammonium salt compounds, their electrical properties are more excellent. Based on the various excellent properties and structural characteristics of carbazole, the present invention has developed a series of carbazole quaternary ammonium salt compounds for use as electroplating additives in electroplating.

[0081] Application Example 1

[0082] Prepare a solution containing 60 g / L of CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O copper sulfate, 100 g / L concentrated sulfuric acid and 60 ppm concentrated hydrochloric acid. Using a Pt rotating electrode as the working electrode, a platinum wire as the counter electrode and Ag / AgCl as the reference electrode, at a rotation speed of 2000 revolutions per minute, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 μmol / L of compound I-3 (the compound I-3 prepared in Example 3, the same below) were added to the solution respectively, and cyclic voltammetry curve tests were performed. ​

[0083] Generally speaking, when adding electroplating additives with the same concentration to the plating solution, the smaller the oxidation peak area of the cyclic voltammetry curve, the stronger the inhibitory effect, and the better the leveling effect in the actual electroplating process. Figure 3 It is the test chart of the cyclic voltammetry curve of Compound I-3. The results show that Compound I-3 can reduce the oxidation peak of the cyclic voltammetry curve. The smaller the oxidation peak area obtained by the test, the stronger the inhibitory effect. When Compound I-3 is not contained in the solution, the oxidation peak area of the cyclic voltammetry curve is the largest. After adding Compound I-3 to the solution in a gradient manner, the oxidation peak area of the cyclic voltammetry curve decreases in a gradient manner. When the concentration of Compound I-3 in the solution reaches 10 ppm, the oxidation peak area of the cyclic voltammetry curve decreases to almost 0, indicating that Compound I-3 has a strong inhibitory ability and a good leveling effect.

[0084] Application Example 2

[0085] Prepare a solution containing 60 g / L CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O copper sulfate, 100 g / L concentrated sulfuric acid and 60 ppm concentrated hydrochloric acid. Using a Pt rotating electrode as the working electrode, a platinum wire as the counter electrode and Ag / AgCl as the reference electrode, under the condition that the rotation speed is 2000 revolutions per minute, add 2 μmol / L 200 μL of Compounds I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-5 to the solution respectively, and conduct cyclic voltammetry curve tests.

[0086] Figure 2 It is the test chart of the cyclic voltammetry curves of Compounds I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-5. The results show that Compounds I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-5 can all increase the cathodic polarization. When the carbazole quaternary ammonium salt compound is not contained in the solution, the oxidation peak area of the cyclic voltammetry curve is the largest; after adding the carbazole quaternary ammonium salt compound to the solution, the oxidation peak areas of the cyclic voltammetry curves all decrease; Figure 2 The results in it also show that when adding 2 μmol / L of Compounds I-1 and I-2 to the solution respectively, the decrease in the oxidation peak area of the cyclic voltammetry curve is less, while when adding 2 μmol / L of Compounds I-3, I-4, I-5 to the solution respectively, the decrease in the oxidation peak area of the cyclic voltammetry curve is obvious, indicating that the inhibitory abilities of Compounds I-3, I-4, I-5 are stronger than those of Compounds I-1, I-2, and the leveling effects are better. Compounds I-3, I-4, I-5 are more preferred additives.

[0087] Application Example 3

[0088] Prepare a solution containing 60 g / L CuSO 4 ·5H 2A solution of 60 g / L CuSO₄·5H₂O copper sulfate, 100 g / L concentrated sulfuric acid, and 60 ppm concentrated hydrochloric acid. Using a Pt rotating electrode as the working electrode, a platinum wire as the counter electrode, and Ag / AgCl as the reference electrode, at a rotation speed of 2000 revolutions per minute, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 μmol / L of Compound I-3 were added to the solution respectively, and a cathodic polarization curve test was performed.

[0089] Generally speaking, when the same concentration of electroplating additive is added to the plating solution, the deposition current density begins to increase, indicating the occurrence of cathodic polarization; the smaller the deposition potential of the polarization curve, the stronger the inhibitory effect, and the better the leveling effect during the actual electroplating process. Figure 3 It is a test chart of the cathodic polarization curve of Compound I-3. The results show that Compound I-3 can increase cathodic polarization. When there is no Compound I-3 in the solution, the copper deposition current can be observed when the potential moves from positive to negative by more than 0 volts. After adding Compound I-3 to the solution in a gradient manner, the copper deposition potential undergoes a gradient negative shift. When the concentration of Compound I-3 in the solution reaches 10 ppm and the potential reaches -0.22 V, the copper deposition current is observed, indicating that Compound I-3 has a strong inhibitory ability and a good leveling effect.

[0090] Application Example 4

[0091] Prepare a solution containing 60 g / L CuSO 4 ·5H 2 A solution of 60 g / L CuSO₄·5H₂O copper sulfate, 100 g / L concentrated sulfuric acid, and 60 ppm concentrated hydrochloric acid. Using a Pt rotating electrode as the working electrode, a platinum wire as the counter electrode, and Ag / AgCl as the reference electrode, at a rotation speed of 2000 revolutions per minute, 2 μmol / L and 200 μL of Compound I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, and I-5 were added to the solution respectively, and a cathodic polarization curve test was performed.

[0092] Figure 4 It is a test chart of the cathodic polarization curves of Compound I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, and I-5. The results show that Compound I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, and I-5 can all increase cathodic polarization. When there is no carbazole quaternary ammonium salt compound in the solution, the copper deposition current can be observed when the potential moves from positive to negative by more than 0 volts; after adding the carbazole quaternary ammonium salt compound to the solution, the copper deposition potential undergoes a negative shift; Figure 2The results also show that when 2 μmol / L of Compound I-1 and I-2 are added to the solution respectively, when the potential shifts negatively to -0.02 V to -0.08 V, the deposition current of copper is observed. When 2 μmol / L of Compound I-3, I-4, and I-5 are added to the solution respectively, when the potential shifts negatively to -0.16 to -0.18, the deposition current of copper is observed. This indicates that the inhibitory ability of Compound I-3, I-4, and I-5 is stronger than that of Compound I-1 and I-2, and the leveling effect is better. Compound I-3, I-4, and I-5 are more preferred additives, which is consistent with Figure 2 the results.

[0093] Application Example 5

[0094] Prepare a solution containing 60 g / L of CuSO 4 ·5H 2 O copper sulfate, 100 g / L of concentrated sulfuric acid, and 60 ppm of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Use a Pt rotating electrode as the working electrode, a platinum wire as the counter electrode, and Ag / AgCl as the reference electrode. The rotation speed is 2000 revolutions per minute. Every 1000 seconds, 200 ppm of polyethylene glycol (PEG, average molecular weight of 8000) and 1 ppm of sodium polydithiopropane sulfonate (SPS) are added to the plating solution in sequence. At 3000 seconds, 2 ppm of Compound I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, and I-5 are added respectively to conduct a constant current chronoamperometry curve test.

[0095] Figure 5 is the constant current chronoamperometry curve of Compound I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, and I-5. As Figure 5 shown, when 200 ppm of the inhibitor PEG (average molecular weight of 8000) is added to the electroplating solution at 1000 s, the potential decreases and polarization occurs; when 1 ppm of sodium polydithiopropane sulfonate (SPS) is added at 2000 s, the potential increases and the polarization is inhibited; when 2 ppm of Compound I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, and I-5 are added respectively at 3000 s, the polarization phenomenon is enhanced. At the same time, Figure 5The results in the middle reflect the interaction mechanism among the three additives. There is an antagonistic effect between compounds I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-5 and the accelerator sodium polydithiopropane sulfonate (SPS), while there is a synergistic effect with the inhibitor polyethylene glycol (PEG). When 2 μmol / L of compounds I-1 and I-2 are respectively added to the solution, the potential slightly decreases, and then the potential of the system is observed to stabilize. However, when 2 μmol / L of compounds I-3, I-4, and I-5 are respectively added to the solution, a larger decrease in potential is observed before the potential of the system stabilizes. This indicates that the inhibitory ability of compounds I-3, I-4, and I-5 is stronger than that of compounds I-1 and I-2. Compounds I-3, I-4, and I-5 are more preferred additives with better leveling effects, which is consistent with Figure 2 and Figure 4 the results of.
