Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of alloy materials, and particularly relates to a high-strength and high-conductivity Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip for wafer test probes and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The semiconductor test probe is mainly used in the design verification, wafer test, finished product test and other links of a semiconductor, and is a core component and consumable throughout the whole semiconductor production process. The probe needs to have different current-carrying capacities according to the power of the wafer to be tested, and the current-carrying capacity is closely related to the conductivity of the probe material. The conductivity of the probe for testing medium power needs to reach more than 65%, and the tensile strength needs to reach more than 1000 MPa. In order to meet the minimum spacing of the probe card, the size of the probe is micron level. At present, the commonly used probe materials include tungsten alloy, beryllium copper, Cu-Ag alloy and the like. Tungsten has the advantages of high strength, high conductivity and high temperature resistance, but it also has the problems of large brittleness, easy breakage and easy scratching of the wafer surface, which are not conducive to use. Beryllium copper has high strength and corrosion resistance, but the conductivity of beryllium copper is low, and at the same time, toxic beryllium oxide is generated in the preparation process, which causes harm to the human body. The Cu-Ag alloy maintains high strength and also has high conductivity, which can meet the performance requirements of the probe for testing medium power wafers.

[0003] At present, the research on high-strength and high-conductivity Cu-Ag alloy mainly focuses on the preparation of wire materials, and the Cu-Ag alloy strip prepared by the existing technology cannot meet the performance requirements of the probe for testing wafers. The application aims to provide a high-efficiency and batch preparation method for a high-strength and high-conductivity Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip for wafer test probes, which does not add additional strengthening elements, adopts medium-frequency induction melting, and realizes the high-efficiency and batch preparation of the Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip by means of solid solution-rolling-ageing, large deformation cold rolling and intermediate heat treatment. SUMMARY

[0004] The first object of the application is to provide a high-strength and high-conductivity Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip, and the second object of the application is to provide a preparation method of the Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip.

[0005] The first object of the application is achieved by a high-strength and high-conductivity Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip, which contains 6-20wt% of Ag and the rest of Cu and unavoidable impurities, and the content of the impurities is less than 0.01wt%;

[0006] The Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip mainly consists of a Cu-based solid solution and an Ag-based solid solution, and the Ag-rich phase is distributed in the Cu-based solid solution in the form of fiber organization;

[0007] The average grain size of the Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip is 470-600nm, and the texture is mainly {211} <111> copper texture.

[0008] The thickness of the Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip is 30-60 μm;

[0009] The tensile strength of the Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip is 1132-1180 MPa, the yield strength is 1052-1101 MPa, the electrical conductivity is 69-70.4 %IACS, and the hardness is 274-303 HV 0.2 .

[0010] The second object of the application is achieved by the method for preparing the high-strength high-conductivity Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip, which comprises the steps of melting and casting, homogenizing treatment, rough rolling, aging treatment, intermediate rolling, intermediate annealing, finish rolling, and strip tension leveling annealing.

[0011] In the aging treatment step, the aging temperature is 400-500 ℃, and the time is 5-15 h.

[0012] The intermediate rolling step adopts multi-pass rolling, and the single-pass deformation amount is not higher than 10 %, and the total deformation amount is 90-95 %.

[0013] In the intermediate annealing step, the annealing temperature is 250-350 ℃, and the holding time is 0.5-2 h.

[0014] The method for preparing the Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip of the application adopts solid solution-rolling-aging treatment, which, on one hand, induces Ag phase to precipitate from the Cu matrix to improve the strength of the alloy, and the large deformation amount rolling makes the Ag precipitated phase form Ag fiber structure to produce a strengthening effect, combined with the work hardening of the Cu matrix, to realize high strength of the Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip, and on the other hand, the solid solution followed by rolling with a certain deformation amount can increase the deformation energy storage and improve the recrystallization driving force of the Cu-Ag alloy, so that the Cu-Ag alloy is more likely to recrystallize after the aging treatment, to achieve the effects of refinement and homogenization, thereby improving the plasticity of the Cu-Ag alloy material and being beneficial to the subsequent large deformation amount rolling. In addition, the appropriate intermediate annealing process is added in the preparation process, to regulate the dislocation density and solute atom content of the Cu-Ag alloy and reduce the scattering effect in the alloy to realize high electrical conductivity.

[0015] The Cu-Ag alloy ultra-thin strip prepared by the method of the application has the tensile strength of 1132-1180 MPa, the yield strength of 1052-1101 MPa, the electrical conductivity of about 70 %IACS, and the hardness of 274-303 HV 0.2 , and can be used as a material for wafer detection probes of medium power.
