Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor power device packaging and processing, and particularly to a self-filling method for microholes with a high aspect ratio on a substrate. Background Art

[0002] Microhole filling technology is one of the key technologies in integrated circuit manufacturing. Microhole filling technology can achieve the connection of interlayer circuits. Microhole filling technology has been widely applied in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards and integrated circuits, and has broad application prospects in advanced packaging, microelectromechanical systems, and silicon photonics technology.

[0003] For holes with a high aspect ratio, traditional filling processes rely on external equipment (such as vacuum or pressure assistance), and the filling process is complex and costly. For example, for the filling of powder in the interlayer through holes described in Japanese Patent JP2011091117A, a pressurizing jig is used to pressurize the filled powder. Existing hole filling technologies are divided into metal conductive paste hole filling and direct electroplating hole filling. For example, a manufacturing method for filling holes with conductive copper paste on a glass substrate disclosed in Chinese Patent Application CN119095286A uses an electroplating copper process to deposit copper atoms on a copper seed layer to increase the thickness of the copper seed layer on the surface of the substrate layer and the inner wall of the through hole, and uses a vacuum plugging process to fill the through hole with conductive copper paste. This vacuum hole filling method is costly, and the yield is stable only when filling microholes of 100 - 250 microns, which cannot meet the requirements of fine circuits. Another example is a hole filling method for a ceramic substrate disclosed in Chinese Patent Application CN115460798A. Seed layer: A conductive layer is vacuum sputtered on the surface of the ceramic. The through holes drilled by laser on the ceramic form connections of the metal copper layer inside the holes through pulse electroplating. The metal copper layer obtained by this electroplating hole filling technology is prone to generating bubbles or holes, which greatly affects the yield of the substrate and the service life of power devices. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to propose a self-filling method for microholes with a high aspect ratio on a substrate, which can reliably fill the tiny and high-aspect-ratio microholes on the substrate, with low cost and a simple method.

[0005] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A self-filling method for microholes with a high aspect ratio on a substrate, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) Activate the treatment of the substrate with a coupling agent;

[0008] (2) Coat a paste-like nano filler on the surface of the substrate. The paste-like nano filler self-fills the microholes on the substrate under capillary action. The wetting angle α of the paste-like nano filler ≤ 30°, the aspect ratio of the microholes is 5:1 to 500:1, and the pore diameter of the microholes is 1 - 100 μm;

[0009] (3) Sinter the substrate with the vias filled.

[0010] Furthermore, when the pore diameter of the micro-pores is 1-10 μm, the wetting angle α of the paste-like nano-filler ≤ 15°;

[0011] When the pore diameter of the micro-pores is 10-50 μm, the wetting angle α of the paste-like nano-filler ≤ 20°;

[0012] When the pore diameter of the micro-pores is 50-100 μm, the wetting angle α of the paste-like nano-filler ≤ 30°.

[0013] Furthermore, the paste-like nano-filler contains an interfacial modifier, and the interfacial modifier is selected from amine compounds, low molecular weight alcohols, low molecular weight ethers or organic acids.

[0014] Furthermore, the interfacial modifier is selected from diethylamine, triethylamine, octylamine, ethanol, butanol, diethylene glycol methyl ether, formic acid, acetic acid or citric acid.

[0015] Furthermore, the viscosity of the paste-like nano-filler is 1-10 Pa·s, and the particle size of the metal particles in the paste-like nano-filler is 10-100 nm.

[0016] Furthermore, in the step (1), the substrate is immersed in an acid solution, cleaned and dried, then immersed in an ethanol solution of a coupling agent, and then the substrate is cleaned and dried.

[0017] Furthermore, when the substrate is an organic substrate, the substrate is immersed in an acid solution, cleaned and dried, then the substrate is subjected to plasma treatment, and then the substrate is immersed in an ethanol solution of a coupling agent, and then cleaned and dried.

[0018] Furthermore, the substrate is a glass substrate, a ceramic substrate, an organic substrate or a metal substrate, and the coupling agent is a silane coupling agent or a titanate coupling agent.

[0019] Furthermore, in the step (2), the paste-like nano-filler is coated on the surface of the substrate by a doctor blade coating method, the coating thickness is 10-30 μm, and it is left standing at room temperature. The paste-like nano-filler self-fills the micro-pores on the substrate under capillary action.

[0020] Furthermore, in the step (3), the sintering treatment is as follows: place the substrate in a protective environment, heat it to 200-400 °C at a heating rate of 10-20 °C / min, keep it at a constant temperature for sintering for 5-30 min, and then cool it to room temperature at a rate of 5-10 °C / min.

[0021] The technical solution provided by the present invention may include the following beneficial effects:

[0022] In the present invention, by subjecting the substrate to coupling agent activation treatment, the interfacial bonding force of the surface and the inner wall of the micropores of the substrate is increased, making it easier to be wetted. Based on the paste-like nano filler with a wetting angle α≤30°, by utilizing wettability regulation and capillary action, it can fill the micropores with a high aspect ratio, and has a good filling effect on the micropores with a pore diameter of 1-100 μm and an aspect ratio of 5:1 to 500:1. The method of the present invention realizes the self-filling of the high-aspect-ratio holes of the substrate driven by capillary action without external pressure or vacuum assistance, and the steps are simple and efficient, with low cost and reliable filling effect on the micropores with small pore diameter and high aspect ratio. Specific embodiments

[0023] An embodiment of the present invention provides a self-filling method for high-aspect-ratio micropores of a substrate, which is used to reliably fill the small and high-aspect-ratio micropores on the substrate to enable interlayer circuit connection.

[0024] The method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0025] (1) Subject the substrate to coupling agent activation treatment;

[0026] (2) Coat a paste-like nano filler on the surface of the substrate, and the paste-like nano filler self-fills the micropores on the substrate under capillary action. The wetting angle α of the paste-like nano filler is ≤30°, the aspect ratio of the micropores is 5:1 to 500:1, and the pore diameter of the micropores is 1-100 μm;

[0027] (3) Sinter the substrate after the hole filling is completed.

[0028] In the present invention, by subjecting the substrate to coupling agent activation treatment, the interfacial bonding force of the surface and the inner wall of the micropores of the substrate is increased, making it easier to be wetted. Based on the paste-like nano filler with a wetting angle α≤30°, by utilizing wettability regulation and capillary action, it can fill the micropores with a high aspect ratio, and has a good filling effect on the micropores with a pore diameter of 1-100 μm and an aspect ratio of 5:1 to 500:1. After filling, sintering the substrate can solidify the inside of the micropores to achieve interlayer circuit connection. The method of the present invention realizes the self-filling of the high-aspect-ratio holes of the substrate driven by capillary action without external pressure or vacuum assistance, and the steps are simple and efficient, with low cost and reliable filling effect on the micropores with small pore diameter and high aspect ratio. The paste-like nano filler can be selected from nano silver paste, nano copper paste, carbon nanotube paste, and graphene paste. Preferably, the paste-like nano filler in the present invention is nano copper paste.

[0029] Specifically, when the pore diameter of the micropores is 1-10 μm, the wetting angle α of the paste-like nano filler is ≤15°;

[0030] When the pore diameter of the micropores is 10 - 50 μm, the wetting angle α of the paste-like nano filler ≤ 20°.

[0031] When the pore diameter of the micropores is 50 - 100 μm, the wetting angle α of the paste-like nano filler ≤ 30°.

[0032] Based on different pore diameters, the wetting angle of the paste-like nano filler is set to ensure that the paste-like nano filler can fill the micropores within a short time. When the pore diameter of the micropores is smaller, the wetting angle of the paste-like nano filler is required to be smaller, so that the paste-like nano filler fills the micropores under the action of capillary driving force, thereby ensuring a reliable filling effect of the micropores.

[0033] To reduce the wetting angle of the paste-like nano filler, further, the paste-like nano filler contains an interfacial modifier, and the interfacial modifier is selected from amine compounds, low molecular weight alcohols, low molecular weight ethers or organic acids.

[0034] The addition of amine compounds, low molecular weight alcohols, low molecular weight ethers and organic acids can all reduce the wetting angle of the paste-like nano filler, and can make the surface tension of the paste-like nano filler lower than 30 mN / m. The interfacial modifier is used to reduce the agglomeration phenomenon between metal particles, interact with metal particles to help enhance the fluidity of the paste-like nano filler, and ensure that the paste-like nano filler fully fills the holes with a high aspect ratio.

[0035] Preferably, the interfacial modifier is selected from diethylamine, triethylamine, octylamine, ethanol, butanol, diethylene glycol methyl ether, formic acid, acetic acid or citric acid.

[0036] Based on the requirements of the wetting angle of the paste-like nano filler for micropores with different pore sizes, the mass fraction of the interfacial modifier in the paste-like nano filler is 0.1 - 3%. Exemplarily, for micropores with a pore diameter of 1 - 10 μm, the mass fraction of the interfacial modifier in the paste-like nano filler is 2 - 3%; for micropores with a pore diameter of 10 - 50 μm, the mass fraction of the interfacial modifier in the paste-like nano filler is 1 - 2%; for micropores with a pore diameter of 50 - 100 μm, the mass fraction of the interfacial modifier in the paste-like nano filler is 0.1 - 1%.

[0037] To further improve the filling effect, the viscosity of the paste-like nano filler is 1 - 10 Pa·s, and the particle size of the metal particles in the paste-like nano filler is 10 - 100 nm. Exemplarily, the viscosity of the paste-like nano filler is 1 Pa·s, 3 Pa·s, 5 Pa·s, 8 Pa·s, 10 Pa·s, and the particle size of the metal particles in the paste-like nano filler is 10 nm, 30 nm, 80 nm, 100 nm.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present invention, in the step (1), the substrate is immersed in an acid solution for soaking treatment. After cleaning and drying, it is immersed in an ethanol solution of a coupling agent, and then the substrate is cleaned and dried.

[0039] Acid treatment can remove oxides and contaminants on the substrate surface and increase polar groups. Then the substrate is immersed in an ethanol solution of a coupling agent, and the interfacial bonding force is increased by chemical bonding on the substrate surface, making it easier to be wetted. It should be noted that soaking the substrate in the ethanol solution of the coupling agent is more conducive to the coupling agent binding to the substrate surface and is easy to clean.

[0040] Specifically, when the substrate is an organic substrate, the substrate is immersed in an acid solution for soaking treatment. After cleaning and drying, the substrate is subjected to plasma treatment, and then the substrate is immersed in an ethanol solution of a coupling agent, and then it is cleaned and dried. The organic substrate treated by plasma is more likely to combine with the coupling agent. Exemplarily, argon or nitrogen is used as the gas source for plasma treatment, and the treatment time is 30 - 300 seconds.

[0041] The method of the present invention is applicable to substrates of various materials. Specifically, the substrate is a glass substrate, a ceramic substrate, an organic substrate or a metal substrate, and the coupling agent is a silane coupling agent or a titanate coupling agent.

[0042] The silane coupling agent reacts with the hydroxyl group (-OH) on the substrate surface through its siloxane group (Si - O - R) to form a chemical bond, and the functional group at the other end (such as amino group, epoxy group) acts. Exemplarily, the silane coupling agent is selected from KH - 550 or KH - 560.

[0043] The glass substrate surface contains silanol groups (Si - OH). The silane coupling agent forms a strong silicon - oxygen bond with the glass substrate through hydrolysis and condensation reactions. The processes of the hydrolysis reaction and the condensation reaction are as follows:

[0044] Hydrolysis reaction: R - Si(OR) 3 +H 2 O → R - Si(OH) 3 +ROH;

[0045] Condensation reaction: R - Si(OH) 3 +Si - OH → R - Si - O - Si+H 2 O.

[0046] Polar groups (such as - COOH, - OH) are introduced into the organic substrate after plasma treatment. The epoxy group of the silane coupling agent undergoes a ring - opening reaction with these polar groups to form a covalent bond. The process is as follows:

[0047] Epoxy ring-opening reaction: R-Si-OH + COOH → R-Si-O-C=O-R.

[0048] There is an oxide layer (M-OH) on the surface of the metal substrate. The silane coupling agent forms a metal-siloxane bond through a condensation reaction. The process is as follows:

[0049] Metal binding reaction: R-Si(OH) 3 + M-OH → R-Si-O-M + H 2 O.

[0050] When the paste-like nano filler is coated on the surface of the substrate, the amino group (-NH 2 ) or epoxy group (-CH-O-CH 2 ) of the silane coupling agent binds to the surface of the metal particles through electrostatic interaction or covalent bond, improving wettability and dispersibility; Exemplarily, when the paste-like nano filler is nano copper paste, the amino group binds to the copper surface: R-NH 2 + CuO → R-NH-Cu.

[0051] The titanate coupling agent (such as NDZ-201) has a titanium-oxygen bond (Ti-O-R), and can react with the hydroxyl group or oxide layer on the surface of the substrate to form a stable chemical bond. There are metal oxides (such as Al-OH, Si-OH) on the surface of the ceramic substrate. The titanate coupling agent binds to the ceramic surface through coordination to form a strong bond. The titanium atom of the titanate coupling agent can form a coordination bond with the oxygen atom in the oxide layer on the surface of the metal particles, improving the adhesion and dispersibility of the filler. When the paste-like nano filler is nano copper paste, the coordination reaction is as follows:

[0052] Ti-O-R + Al-OH → Ti-O-Al + R-OH; Ti-O-R + Cu-OH → Ti-O-Cu + R-OH.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, in the step (2), the paste-like nano filler is coated on the surface of the substrate by a doctor blade coating method, the coating thickness is 10-30 μm, and it is left standing at room temperature. The paste-like nano filler self-fills the micropores on the substrate under capillary action. After the filler fills the micropores after standing, the excess filler on the surface of the substrate is gently scraped off with a doctor blade or a coater. In the present invention, the micropore filling can be completed by simply leaving the paste-like nano filler standing after coating, and the operation steps are simple and reliable.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present invention, in the step (3), the sintering treatment is: placing the substrate in a protective environment, heating it to 200-400 °C at a heating rate of 10-20 °C / minute, sintering at a constant temperature for 5-30 minutes, and then cooling to room temperature at a rate of 5-10 °C / min.

[0055] It is understandable that different pore diameters of the micropores require different sintering temperatures to ensure complete curing of the paste-like nano-filler. Exemplarily, when the pore diameter of the micropores is 1 - 10 μm, the sintering temperature is preferably 200 - 250 °C; when the pore diameter of the micropores is 10 - 50 μm, the sintering temperature is preferably 250 - 350 °C; when the pore diameter of the micropores is 50 - 100 μm, the sintering temperature is preferably 350 - 400 °C.

[0056] The present invention will be further elaborated through the following examples.
