Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a nickel plating method for a tungsten-silicon alloy target. Background Art

[0002] Tungsten-silicon alloy, an alloy composed of tungsten and silicon, boasts advantages such as high temperature tolerance, high strength, and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in aviation, energy, semiconductors, and other fields. Tungsten-silicon alloy targets are a key material used in technologies such as ion implantation, physical vapor deposition, and magnetron sputtering.

[0003] In the semiconductor industry, the target assembly is composed of a target material that meets the sputtering performance requirements and a backing plate that can be combined with the target material and has a certain strength. The backing plate can play a supporting role when the target assembly is assembled to the sputtering base and has the function of conducting heat. During the sputtering process, the working environment of the target assembly is relatively harsh. For example, the ambient temperature of the target assembly is relatively high, which can reach 300-600℃; in addition, one side of the target assembly is strongly cooled by cooling water, while the other side is at 10 -9 Pa in a high vacuum environment, a huge pressure difference is formed on the opposite sides of the target assembly; in addition, the target assembly is in a high-voltage electric field and magnetic field, and is bombarded by various particles. In such a harsh environment, if the bonding strength between the target material and the backing plate in the target assembly is poor, the target assembly will deform and crack under heat conditions, and will fall off from the bonded backing plate, making it impossible to achieve uniform sputtering. It may also cause damage to the sputtering base. Especially for tungsten silicon targets, due to the large difference in melting points between the target material and the backing plate, it is difficult to ensure good welding bonding strength, which in turn limits the further development of tungsten silicon alloy targets in the field of integrated circuit coating.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the welding effect of the tungsten silicon alloy target and the backing plate and avoid the target cracking is a technical problem that needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a nickel plating method for tungsten silicon alloy. Compared with the existing technology, the nickel plating method provided by the present invention can form a nickel plating layer on the surface of the tungsten silicon alloy, so that the target material and the solder can be well wetted and bonded through the nickel plating layer, thereby improving the bonding strength between the tungsten silicon alloy target material and the backing plate, and at the same time avoiding the cracking problem of the tungsten silicon alloy during the processing process.

[0006] In order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present invention provides a nickel plating method for a tungsten-silicon alloy target, the nickel plating method comprising the following steps:

[0008] (1) subjecting a tungsten silicon alloy target to a first cleaning treatment, an activation treatment, a first soaking heat treatment, and a second soaking heat treatment in sequence to obtain a pretreated target;

[0009] (2) Immersing the pretreated target obtained in step (1) in a nickel plating solution for nickel plating, and then sequentially performing a third immersion heat treatment, a fourth immersion heat treatment and a drying treatment to obtain a nickel-plated target.

[0010] In the present invention, on the one hand, the granular impurities on the surface of the target are removed by a first cleaning treatment, and then the reactivity of the target surface is enhanced by an activation treatment, thereby enhancing the speed and thickness of the nickel layer formed on the surface of the target in the subsequent nickel plating treatment. By forming a nickel layer on the tungsten silicon alloy target, the tungsten silicon alloy target and the solder can be well wetted and bonded, thereby enhancing the welding bonding strength between the target and the back plate. On the other hand, before nickel plating, the acid liquid on the surface is removed by a first immersion heat treatment, and the water temperature of the first immersion heat treatment and the second immersion heat treatment is controlled to reduce the residual stress that may be generated inside the target during the processing. At the same time, the target is preheated to avoid cracking of the tungsten silicon alloy target due to rapid cooling and heating; after nickel plating, the nickel plating liquid on the surface is removed by a third immersion heat treatment, and the internal stress of the target is further reduced by controlling the water temperature of the third immersion heat treatment and the fourth immersion heat treatment, which helps to quickly evaporate the moisture on the surface of the target during the subsequent drying process, thereby avoiding the problem of target cracking due to rapid cooling. In summary, the nickel plating method provided by the present invention can not only form a nickel layer on the surface of the tungsten-silicon alloy target material to enhance the wetting effect of the target material and the solder, and improve the welding bonding strength between the target material and the back plate, but also avoid cracking of the target material.

[0075] The thickness of the nickel-plated layer of the nickel-plated targets obtained in Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 1-2 was detected by metallographic microscope, and the results are shown in Table 1.
