Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electroplating technology, and more specifically, to a nano-twinned copper electroplating additive and an electroplating solution. Background Art

[0002] Nano-twinned copper is a copper material with nano-scale twin lamellar structures existing inside the grains, having high electrical conductivity, mechanical properties, electromigration resistance performance and stability, and having broad application prospects in electronic packaging and semiconductor manufacturing. Relying on its excellent electrical and mechanical properties, nano-twinned copper is becoming the key to solving the current bottleneck of electroplated copper technology.

[0003] CN102400188B discloses a nano-twinned copper material with a (111) texture, which is prepared by a direct current electro-deposition process. The composition of the electroplating solution used is: 150 - 200 g / L of copper sulfate, adjusting the pH to 0.5 - 1.5, adding 2.5 - 15 mL / L of an aqueous gelatin solution with a concentration of 0.2 - 0.5 wt% and 0.2 - 1.0 mL / L of an aqueous NaCl solution with a concentration of 5 - 25 wt%. CN114875461B discloses a direct current electroplated nano-twinned copper material. The composition of the electroplating solution used is: 20 - 70 g / L of copper ions, 20 - 200 g / L of sulfuric acid, 20 - 80 ppm of chloride ions, 5 - 200 ppm of gelatin, 0.5 - 100 mmol / L of nickel ions and the balance of water. The above patents all use gelatin as an additive for the nano-twinned copper electroplating solution. The addition of gelatin can make the electroplated copper grow a nano-twinned structure and is beneficial to improving the flatness and brightness of the coating.

[0004] However, gelatin is a mixture of polypeptide chains with different molecular weights, and the molecular weight distribution is between several thousand and several hundred thousand. According to the different hydrolysis methods when preparing gelatin, gelatin can be divided into acid-process gelatin, alkali-process gelatin and enzyme-process gelatin. The raw material sources of gelatin are also diverse, such as animal tissues like pigskin, cowhide, fish skin, bones, etc. In the actual process of preparing nano-twinned copper, when using gelatin as an electroplating additive for nano-twinned copper, the preparation process is often unstable and has poor repeatability, and it is impossible to stably obtain a nano-twinned structure, which limits the application of gelatin in the electroplating of nano-twinned copper. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects existing in the prior art, and provide a nano-twinned copper electroplating additive and an electroplating solution.

[0020] The third aspect of the present invention provides a method for electroplating and preparing nano-twinned copper, and the electroplating and preparing method includes: electroplating on a substrate by using the above nano-twinned copper electroplating solution to obtain the nano-twinned copper.

[0021] In the above technical solution, further, the electroplating and preparing method includes: the substrate serves as a cathode, and the anode includes a soluble anode (such as a phosphor copper anode) or an insoluble anode (such as a platinum electrode), and using the nano-twinned copper electroplating solution, electroplating is carried out under the conditions that the electroplating temperature is 10 to 60 °C, the electroplating current density is 1 to 40 A / dm 2 , and the electroplating stirring speed is 400 to 1500 rpm to obtain the nano-twinned copper; the substrate is a conductive material, such as copper, titanium, gold, nickel, aluminum or their alloys.

[0022] The fourth aspect of the present invention provides a nano-twinned copper prepared by using the above electroplating and preparing method.

[0023] In the above technical solution, further, the nano-twinned copper has a strong (111) preferred orientation, and the (111) preferential degree is greater than 95%; the nano-twinned copper includes columnar crystals perpendicular to the substrate; the diameter of the columnar crystals is 0.1 to 20 μm; the inside of the nano-twinned copper contains a high density of horizontal twins, and the twin lamella thickness of the horizontal twins is 1 to 100 nm.

[0024] The fifth aspect of the present invention provides an application of the above nano-twinned copper electroplating additive and the above nano-twinned copper electroplating solution in electronic packaging and semiconductor manufacturing.

[0025] During the copper electrodeposition process, gelatinous additives will undergo periodic adsorption and desorption on the cathode surface, resulting in potential oscillations, which in turn lead to periodic accumulation and relaxation of stress, thus forming a twin structure. The present invention discovers that among gelatinous additives, components with high molecular weight (above 100,000 Da) have too many adsorption sites and a strong binding force with the cathode, making it impossible to desorb in a timely manner, which will significantly inhibit the acquisition of nano-twin structures; components with low molecular weight (below 10,000 Da) have fewer adsorption sites and a weak binding force with the cathode, and are prone to periodic adsorption and desorption, so they have a significant twin-promoting effect; the remaining components with medium molecular weight (10,000 - 100,000 Da) can also produce periodic adsorption and desorption, but the effect is significantly weaker than that of components with low molecular weight (below 10,000 Da), and have a relatively weak twin-promoting effect. Therefore, the present invention proposes to reduce the proportion of components with high molecular weight (above 100,000 Da) that have a twin-inhibiting effect, and at the same time increase the proportion of components with low molecular weight (below 10,000 Da) that have a twin-promoting effect, so that this specific composition of additives can play an excellent and stable twin-promoting role, improve the process stability and repeatability of nano-twin copper electroplating, broaden the electroplating process window. Electroplating with a nano-twin copper electroplating solution containing this additive can obtain a nano-twin copper coating with good tissue uniformity, excellent performance, and a (111) preferred orientation degree greater than 95%.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] (1) The nano-twin copper electroplating additive provided by the present invention has an excellent and stable twin-promoting effect, improves the process stability and repeatability of nano-twin copper electroplating, broadens the electroplating process window.
