Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Nanotwinned copper is a copper material with a nanoscale twinned crystalline structure within its grains. It possesses high electrical conductivity, mechanical properties, resistance to electromigration, and stability, making it a promising candidate for applications in electronic packaging and semiconductor manufacturing. Due to its superior electrical and mechanical properties, nanotwinned copper is becoming a key technology for overcoming current bottlenecks in copper electroplating.

[0003] CN102400188B discloses a nanotwinned copper material with a (111) texture, prepared by direct current electrodeposition. The electroplating solution consists of 150–200 g / L copper sulfate, pH adjusted to 0.5–1.5, and 2.5–15 mL / L of 0.2–0.5 wt% gelatin aqueous solution and 0.2–1.0 mL / L of 5–25 wt% NaCl aqueous solution. CN114875461B discloses a direct current electroplating method for nanotwinned copper material, wherein the electroplating solution consists of 20–70 g / L copper ions, 20–200 g / L sulfuric acid, 20–80 ppm chloride ions, 5–200 ppm gelatin, 0.5–100 mmol / L nickel ions, and the balance being water. All of the above patents use gelatin as an additive in nanotwinned copper electroplating solutions. The addition of gelatin can help electroplated copper grow nanotwinned structures and improve the smoothness and gloss of the plating layer.

[0004] However, gelatin is a mixture of polypeptide chains with varying molecular weights, ranging from several thousand to hundreds of thousands. Depending on the hydrolysis method used in its preparation, gelatin can be classified into acid-processed gelatin, alkali-processed gelatin, and enzymatically processed gelatin. The raw materials for gelatin are also diverse, including animal tissues such as pigskin, cowhide, fish skin, and bones. In the actual preparation of nanotwinned copper, using gelatin as an electroplating additive often results in unstable processes and poor reproducibility, making it difficult to consistently obtain nanotwinned structures and limiting the application of gelatin in nanotwinned copper electroplating. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art and provide a nano-twinned copper electroplating additive and electroplating solution. The nano-twinned copper electroplating additive has excellent and stable twinning promotion effect, which improves the process stability and repeatability of nano-twinned copper electroplating and broadens the electroplating process window. Electroplating with a nano-twinned copper electroplating solution containing the additive can obtain a (111) preferred orientation nano-twinned copper coating with good uniformity, excellent performance and a preference degree greater than 95%.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] The first aspect of this invention provides a nano-twinned copper electroplating additive, which is obtained by hydrolyzing or separating collagen, gelatin, or their derivatives; the composition of the nano-twinned copper electroplating additive needs to meet the following requirements:

[0014] A second aspect of the present invention provides a nanotwinned copper electroplating solution, wherein the nanotwinned copper electroplating solution includes the aforementioned nanotwinned copper electroplating additives.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the nanotwinned copper electroplating solution further includes copper ions, sulfuric acid, chloride ions, and the nanotwinned copper electroplating additives described above.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the concentration of copper sulfate in the nano-twinned copper electroplating solution is 20-80 g / L; preferably, the concentration of copper ions in the nano-twinned copper electroplating solution is 28-64 g / L; preferably, the copper ions are derived from copper sulfate.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the concentration of sulfuric acid in the nano-twinned copper electroplating solution is further 5-180 g / L; preferably, the concentration of sulfuric acid in the nano-twinned copper electroplating solution is 10-150 g / L.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the concentration of chloride ions in the nano-twinned copper electroplating solution is further 3-100 mg / L; preferably, the concentration of chloride ions in the nano-twinned copper electroplating solution is 10-60 mg / L; preferably, the chloride ions in the nano-twinned copper electroplating solution can be provided by hydrochloric acid and / or sodium chloride.

[0020] A third aspect of the present invention provides a method for electroplating nanotwinned copper, the method comprising: electroplating on a substrate using the nanotwinned copper electroplating solution as described above, to obtain the nanotwinned copper.

[0021] In the above technical solution, the electroplating preparation method further includes: the substrate serving as the cathode, the anode including a soluble anode (e.g., a phosphorus copper anode) or an insoluble anode (e.g., a platinum electrode), using the nanotwinned copper electroplating solution, at an electroplating temperature of 10–60°C and an electroplating current density of 1–40 A / dm³. 2 Electroplating is performed at a stirring speed of 400–1500 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 this invention provides a nanotwinned copper, which is prepared by the above-described electroplating method.

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

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

[0025] During copper electrodeposition, gelatin-based additives undergo periodic adsorption and desorption on the cathode surface, leading to potential oscillations and subsequent periodic stress accumulation and relaxation, thus forming a twinned structure. This invention reveals that high molecular weight (above 100,000 Da) gelatin-based additives, due to their numerous adsorption sites and strong cathode binding, cannot undergo timely desorption, significantly inhibiting the formation of nanotwinned structures. Low molecular weight (below 10,000 Da) additives, with fewer adsorption sites and weaker cathode binding, readily undergo periodic adsorption and desorption, thus exhibiting a significant twinning-promoting effect. While other medium molecular weight (10,000–100,000 Da) additives can also produce periodic adsorption and desorption, their effect is significantly weaker than that of low molecular weight (below 10,000 Da) additives, resulting in a relatively weak twinning-promoting effect. Therefore, this invention proposes to reduce the proportion of high molecular weight (above 100,000 Da) components with twinning inhibition effect, while increasing the proportion of low molecular weight (below 10,000 Da) components with twinning promotion effect, so that the additive with this specific composition can play an excellent and stable twinning promotion effect, improve the process stability and repeatability of nanotwinned copper electroplating, and broaden the electroplating process window. By using a nanotwinned copper electroplating solution containing this additive for electroplating, it is possible to obtain a (111) preferred orientation nanotwinned copper coating with good uniformity, excellent performance and a preference degree greater than 95%.

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

[0027] (1) The nano-twinned copper electroplating additive provided by the present invention has excellent and stable twinning promotion effect, which improves the process stability and repeatability of nano-twinned copper electroplating, and broadens the process window of electroplating. Electroplating with nano-twinned copper electroplating solution containing the additive can obtain a nano-twinned copper coating with excellent performance.

[0028] (2) The nano-twin copper coating prepared by the present invention has good uniformity of structure and strong (111) preferred orientation, with a (111) preference degree greater than 95%. It contains columnar crystals perpendicular to the substrate and high-density horizontal twins inside the grains. The nano-twin copper coating has the characteristics of high conductivity, mechanical properties, high electromigration resistance, oxidation resistance and thermal stability. It can be applied to the fields of electronic packaging, integrated circuit manufacturing and other technologies, including wafer-level electroplating, substrate, carrier and PCB and other application scenarios that require electroplating.
