[0002] In the field of electronic manufacturing, especially in this era of extremely high technical requirements, integrated circuit semiconductor pulse plating technology has become an indispensable technical means and is widely used in the manufacturing process of various electronic products. Whether it is high-end electronic products such as mobile phones and computers, or high-precision equipment such as aerospace equipment, or even daily necessities such as household appliances, they all need to use integrated circuit semiconductor pulse plating technology for manufacturing and processing. Integrated circuit semiconductor pulse plating technology is a cutting-edge electronic manufacturing technology that cleverly uses the principle of pulse plating to manufacture high-quality integrated circuits by carefully depositing metal layers on semiconductor materials. Its advantage is that it can control the thickness and shape of the metal layer with extremely high precision, greatly improving the manufacturing accuracy and efficiency of integrated circuits.

[0003] The principle of electroplating is a physical deposition method that uses pulse signals of current to control the deposition process of the metal layer. During the pulse electroplating process, the current will pass through the plating solution in the form of pulses, generating metal ions and depositing them on the semiconductor material. However, during the pulse electroplating process, due to the fluctuation of current and the change of plating solution composition, the quality of the coating will be unstable, resulting in a decrease in the corrosion resistance of the coating, and the appearance of voids and shedding. Summary of the invention

[0006] By adopting the above technical scheme, in the electroplating solution, copper sulfate and zinc sulfate can be used as metal sources and have a certain conductive effect, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the electroplating process; ammonium chloride is used as a conductive agent, and the chloride ions therein can increase the ion concentration of the electrolyte, help reduce the resistance between the electrolyte and the electrode, promote the deposition of metal ions in the electroplating solution and the progress of electrochemical reactions, enhance the conductive properties of the electrolyte, and at the same time stabilize the electrolysis conditions of the electroplating solution and maintain a stable current density and potential; the modified aliphatic amine compound is added to the electroplating solution to react with the metal ions in the electroplating solution to generate a stable metal coordination compound, which can improve the corrosion resistance of the coating, and can form a thin and dense passivation film on the surface of the substrate, which mechanically separates the substrate from the medium and is not easy to react with air, moisture or chemical substances, thereby improving the stability of the coating, having a good protective effect on the substrate, and effectively extending the service life of the substrate. The carboxylic acid group in the hydroxycarboxylate reacts with the amino group in the hexamethylenediamine to form an amide compound, and the amide compound combines with the metal ion to form a metal coordination compound, which can inhibit the dissolution process of the metal, passivate the metal, and thus improve the corrosion resistance of the metal substrate.

[0007] Preferably, the hydroxycarboxylate is one or both of potassium tartrate or sodium gluconate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, potassium tartrate or sodium gluconate both contain carboxylic acid groups, and the carboxylic acid groups undergo condensation reaction with the amino groups in hexamethylenediamine to form a composite ligand, and the composite ligand combines with the metal ions in the electroplating solution to form a metal coordination compound, which can be adsorbed on the vertices and edges of the metal lattice or on the defects and distortions of the lattice, inhibiting the dissolution process of the metal, passivating the metal, and thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the metal substrate.

[0009] Preferably, the inhibitor is polyvinyl pyrrolidone.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the polyvinyl pyrrolidone molecule contains two unsaturated double bonds, which can form a complex with metal ions, change the activity of the metal ions, reduce the reducibility, and then control the metal deposition rate, control the growth of the electroplating layer grains, adjust the size and structure of the grains, thereby controlling the electroplating reaction to ensure the uniformity and quality of the electroplating layer.

[0011] Preferably, the brightener is one or both of sodium polydisulfide propane sulfonate and sodium 3-mercapto-1-propane sulfonate.

At the same time, the imine cations in polyethyleneimine or dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride ion pair with the sulfonate anion groups in the brightener, inhibiting the activity of the brightener, and can replace the brightener in the blind hole in the later stage of electroplating, inhibiting the generation of protrusions, and achieving a leveling effect.

[0015] Preferably, the stabilizer is one or both of isooctyl epoxide and dioctyl phthalate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical scheme, both isooctyl epoxyacetate and dioctyl phthalate are organic amines. The organic amines combine with metal ions to stabilize the metal ions in the electroplating solution and reduce the precipitation of metal ions, thereby improving the stability of the plating solution and extending the service life of the electroplating solution.

The composite ligand contains an amide bond, and the amide bond reacts with the metal ions in the electroplating solution to form a stable metal coordination compound attached to the surface of the substrate, which can inhibit the dissolution process of the metal and passivate the metal to improve the corrosion resistance of the coating.

[0020] In a third aspect, the present application provides a semiconductor pulse electroplating process, including the following technical solutions: A semiconductor pulse electroplating process comprises the following steps: Step 1: Degrease the substrate, clean it with pure water to remove surface impurities and dirt, and then use ultrasonic cleaning to remove the chemicals adsorbed on the surface of the substrate; Step 2: prepare the electroplating solution, use the plated metal as the anode and the substrate to be plated as the cathode, apply a pulse power supply for electroplating, the electroplating temperature is 30-70°C, the electroplating time is 40-60min, and the distance between the anode and cathode is 15-20cm.

[0021] Preferably, the pulse power supply parameters are: The forward pulse current density is 4-6A / dm 2 , the forward pulse width is 100-200ms; The reverse pulse current density is 30-50A / dm 2 , reverse pulse width is 2-4ms; The pulse duty cycle is 40%-80%; The pulse frequency is 800-1200Hz.

[0044] Comparative Example 3 A plating solution, which is different from Example 2 in that the plating solution does not contain 3-mercapto-1-propane sulfonic acid or dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, and other components are the same as the experimental parameters.

[0045] Performance testing 1. Plating adhesion test The effects of the composite ligands on the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate in Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were tested, wherein the bonding strength between the coating and the substrate was tested by the thermal shock method and the bending test method (GB / T 5270-2005). Thermal shock method: After the substrate is electroplated, it is kept at 200°C for 2 hours, then put into cold water for rapid cooling, and the coating is observed for bubbling, peeling, etc.; bending method: The plated sample is bent 90° twice and observed for shedding or peeling.

[0046] Table 1: Binding strength test results From the analysis in Table 1, it can be seen that the bonding strength between the coating obtained by electroplating with the electroplating solution prepared in Example 2 and the substrate is stronger than that of Example 9, indicating that the composite ligand prepared by using hexamethylenediamine and potassium tartrate or sodium gluconate and applied to the electroplating solution and the electroplating process can significantly improve the bonding ability between the coating and the substrate.

[0047] The bonding ability between the coating and the substrate obtained by electroplating the electroplating solution prepared in Example 1 is better than that in Comparative Example 1. When preparing the electroplating solution, if no composite ligand is added, the bonding ability between the coating and the substrate will be affected.

[0048] The bonding ability between the coating and the substrate obtained by electroplating with the electroplating solution prepared in Example 2 is better than that in Comparative Example 2. When preparing the electroplating solution, the use of hexamethylenediamine alone as a composite ligand has no obvious effect on improving the bonding between the coating and the substrate. Therefore, potassium tartrate or sodium gluconate needs to be added to react with hexamethylenediamine to form a composite ligand in order to significantly improve the bonding ability between the coating and the substrate.

[0049] 2. Porosity test The effects of the composite complexing agent on the porosity of the coating in Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were tested. The porosity of the substrate after electroplating was measured using the filter paper method. The number of characteristic spots per unit area was used as an evaluation index for the test.

[0050] Table 2: Porosity test results Sample <![CDATA[Porosity (pcs / cm 2 )]]> Example 1 0.90 Example 2 0.73 Example 3 0.82 Example 4 0.80 Example 5 0.79 Example 6 0.85 Example 7 0.76 Example 8 0.79 Example 9 2.70 Comparative Example 1 4.20 Comparative Example 2 3.80 Comparative Example 3 4.05 From the analysis of Table 2, it can be seen that the porosity of the coating obtained by electroplating with the electroplating solution prepared in Example 2 is lower than that of Example 9, indicating that the composite ligand prepared by hexamethylenediamine and potassium tartrate or sodium gluconate is applied to the electroplating solution and the electroplating process, and the obtained coating has higher density and a more delicate surface.

[0051] The porosity of the coating obtained by electroplating with the electroplating solution prepared in Example 2 is significantly lower than that in Comparative Example 1. When preparing the electroplating solution, if the composite ligand is not added, the porosity of the coating will be affected, resulting in a decrease in the surface quality of the coating.

[0052] The porosity of the coating obtained by electroplating with the plating solution prepared in Example 2 is significantly lower than that of Comparative Example 2. When preparing the plating solution, the use of hexamethylenediamine alone as a composite ligand has a poor effect on improving the porosity of the coating. Therefore, potassium tartrate or sodium gluconate needs to be added to react with hexamethylenediamine to form a composite ligand in order to significantly improve the porosity of the coating.

[0053] The porosity of the coating obtained by electroplating the electroplating solution prepared in Example 2 is significantly lower than that of Comparative Example 3. When preparing the electroplating solution, the porosity of the coating is affected if sodium 3-mercapto-1-propane sulfonate or dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride is not added. Among them, the sodium 3-mercapto-1-propane sulfonate molecule contains sulfonic acid anions, and the sulfonate anions interact with metal ions, which can reduce the generation of pores and spots on the coating and improve the finish and brightness of the coating. The iminium cation in dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride will pair with the sulfonate anion group, inhibiting its activity, and can replace the sulfonic acid anions located in the pores after electroplating, inhibiting the generation of protrusions, and further reducing the generation of pores and spots.

[0054] 3. Corrosion resistance test The effects of the composite coordination agent on the corrosion resistance of the coating in the test examples 1 to 9 and the comparative examples 1 to 3 were tested by using a neutral salt spray test. The results of the neutral salt spray test can reflect the corrosion resistance of the coating. - The time it takes for the coating to reach the substrate. According to the standard specified in GB / T6458, the substrate is subjected to a neutral salt spray test. The neutral salt spray (NSS) test is carried out in a YWX-60 salt spray corrosion test chamber. A 5% NaCl solution with a pH of 6 to 7 is deposited on the sample through a spray device. The temperature is 30°C, the relative humidity is greater than 95%, and the fogging amount is 1 to 2 mL / (h·cm 2 ), nozzle pressure 70~137kPa.

[0055] Table 3: NSS test results From the analysis in Table 3, it can be seen that the corrosion resistance of the coating obtained by electroplating with the electroplating solution prepared in Example 2 is better than that of Example 9. The potassium tartrate and sodium gluconate molecules in the composite complexing agent contain two or more hydroxyl groups, while the sodium benzoate molecule does not contain hydroxyl groups. Potassium tartrate and sodium gluconate are polyhydroxy carboxylates. Hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups interact more actively, so potassium tartrate and sodium gluconate have stronger reducing properties, and the stronger the ability to form complexes with oxides, carbonates and other impurities on the metal surface, thereby slowing down the corrosion rate of the metal surface. At the same time, they can also complex with the passivation film on the metal surface, thereby strengthening the stability of the passivation film and improving the corrosion resistance of the metal.

[0056] The corrosion resistance of the coating obtained by electroplating with the electroplating solution prepared in Example 2 is better than that of Comparative Example 1. When preparing the electroplating solution, no composite ligand is added, which will affect the corrosion resistance of the coating.

[0057] The corrosion resistance of the coating obtained by electroplating with the plating solution prepared in Example 2 is better than that of Comparative Example 2. When preparing the plating solution, the use of hexamethylenediamine alone as a composite ligand has a poor effect on improving the corrosion resistance of the coating. Therefore, potassium tartrate or sodium gluconate needs to be added to react with hexamethylenediamine to form a composite ligand in order to significantly improve the corrosion resistance of the coating.

[0058] 4. Plating solution dispersion ability test The effect of the composite ligand in Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 on the dispersibility of the plating solution was tested. The test method adopted the near-far cathode method, and the test parameters included a Haring cell with a specification of 240×60×125 mm, a plating solution sample volume of 500 mL, a single anode, and a double cathode (substrate after pretreatment): the two ends were placed to form a near-far cathode, and the distance ratio between the cathode and the anode at both ends was 1:5. The electroplating process parameters were: forward current density 5A / dm 2, , reverse current density is 40A / dm 2 , the electroplating time is 50min. After the end, take out the cathode test piece from the plating solution, wash it with water 5 times, wash it with acetone 3 times, dry it to constant weight, and weigh the weight of the test piece. Finally, according to the weight of the test piece, calculate the mass m of the coating on the far and near cathode test pieces respectively. 远 、m 近 , the dispersion ability calculation formula is as follows: S=(KM) / (K+M-2)×100% Where: S——dispersion capacity of plating solution, %; M=m 近 / m 远 ; K——the distance ratio between the near and far cathode and anode, K=5; Table 4: Test results of plating solution dispersion ability From the analysis in Table 4, it can be seen that the dispersibility of the electroplating solution prepared in Example 1 is better than that in Example 9, indicating that the composite ligand prepared by using hexamethylenediamine and potassium tartrate or sodium gluconate is applied to the electroplating solution and the electroplating process, which can significantly improve the dispersibility of the plating solution, so that the metal ions in the plating solution are evenly distributed and the thickness of the coating on the substrate is evenly distributed.

[0059] The dispersibility of the electroplating solution prepared in Example 1 is better than that of the electroplating solution prepared in Comparative Example 1. When preparing the electroplating solution, if no composite ligand is added, the dispersibility of the plating solution will be significantly affected.

[0060] The dispersibility of the electroplating solution prepared in Example 2 is better than that of the electroplating solution prepared in Comparative Example 2. When preparing the electroplating solution, using hexamethylenediamine alone as a composite ligand has a poor effect on improving the dispersibility of the plating solution. Therefore, potassium tartrate or sodium gluconate needs to be added to react with hexamethylenediamine to form a composite ligand in order to significantly improve the dispersibility of the plating solution.

[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
