Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for constructing a double-sided partial spray electroplating model, an electroplating system, and an electroplating method, belonging to the field of double-sided partial spray electroplating technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, the localized electroplating areas of semiconductor leadframes are becoming increasingly miniaturized in the field of electroplating equipment technology. Currently, localized spray electroplating technology is still in the stage of single-sided localized electroplating products. Especially for products with double-sided localized spray electroplating of leadframes, only one plating operation is possible on the front side, followed by another on the back. This process not only suffers from low electroplating efficiency but also leads to varying degrees of penetration and contact of the plating solution on the back side during the front plating process, resulting in metal displacement and contamination. To ensure the plating quality on the back side, it is necessary to remove the displaced metal to create a clean surface before replating, which easily leads to a high product defect rate, making it difficult to obtain high-quality, high-volume precision localized electroplating products for semiconductor leadframes.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN103774194A discloses an electroplating device for LED lead frames. Although this device can perform double-sided electroplating of LED lead frames, it cannot select the optimal conditions for the double-sided local spray electroplating model, nor can it achieve electroplating with different film thickness requirements on both sides of the workpiece by adjusting relevant parameters. This reduces the intelligent control efficiency of the double-sided local spray electroplating device and cannot guarantee the uniformity of the electroplated film thickness, thus failing to meet the high-quality requirements of high-end semiconductor lead frame products.

[0058] This application provides a method for constructing a double-sided localized jet electroplating model. This method applies the principles of continuity, fluidity, kinetic energy, potential energy, and pressure conservation of incompressible fluids. Through the pressure conservation law equation, it intelligently controls the double-sided localized jet electroplating system, providing accurate predictions for simultaneous electroplating of both sides of complex leadframe localized plating areas in a single operation. The method for constructing this double-sided localized jet electroplating model includes:

[0059] Step 1: A double-sided partial spray electroplating apparatus is provided, capable of completing partial electroplating processes on both sides in one operation. This double-sided partial spray electroplating apparatus includes an electroplating solution tank 90 and a mold assembly, namely an upper mold 100A and a lower mold 100B, as well as a control system 200. The upper mold 100A includes an upper solution chamber 80A, an upper pressure gauge 70A, an upper flow meter 60A, and an upper pump 50A. The lower mold 100B includes a lower solution chamber 80B, a lower pressure gauge 70B, a lower flow meter 60B, and a lower pump 50B. The pressure and flow rate of the electroplating solution chambers in the upper mold 100A and the lower mold 100B can be independently controlled by the control system.

[0060] Step 2: Based on the continuity, flowability, kinetic energy, potential energy, and pressure conservation laws of incompressible fluids in electroplating solutions from computational fluid dynamics, a double-sided local jet electroplating model is constructed. The calculation formula between the pressure and flow rate of the electroplating solution transported by the double-sided local jet electroplating model is as follows:

[0061] P =P 0×( Q 0 / Q )×( T / T 0)Formula 1

[0062] In Formula 1:

[0063] P The pressure in the electroplating solution chamber is MPa.

[0064] P 0 represents the standard pressure, in MPa;

[0065] Q 0 represents the standard flow rate, m 3 / h;

[0066] Q For flow rate, m 3 / h;

[0067] T Kelvin temperature, K;

[0068] T 0 represents the standard Kelvin temperature, in Kelvin.

[0069] In this invention, standard condition pressure P 0 is 0.1 MPa; the standard flow rate of the pump used in the double-sided partial spray electroplating device. Q 0 is 12m 3 / h; the standard conditions temperature is 25°C, therefore, the standard conditions Kjeldahl temperature T 0 is 25 + 273.15 K. Since the working temperature of the electroplating solution in this invention is set at 55°C, the Kjeldahl temperature... T The pressure is 55 + 273.15 K; substituting the above known conditions into Formula 1, the pressure of the electroplating solution under the above known conditions is... P 1. The formula for calculating the relationship between flow rate and volume;

[0070] P 1 = 0.1 × (12 / Q )×{(55+273.15) / (25+273.15)}

[0071] =0.1×12×(55+273.15) / { (25+273.15)× Q}

[0072] =1.2×328.15 / (298.15· Q )Formula 2

[0073] As can be seen from Formula 2, in the calculation formula for constructing the double-sided local spray electroplating model, the pressure of the mold electroplating solution chamber is... P 1 and traffic Q The flow rate is inversely proportional to the flow rate of the solution; therefore, the flow rate can be controlled by adjusting the pump of the double-sided local spray electroplating equipment. Q The pressure of the corresponding mold electroplating solution chamber can be obtained. P 1.

[0074] Step 3: The flow rate in Step 2 Q The calculation formula is shown in Formula 3:

[0075] Q = V × S Formula 3

[0076] In Formula 3:

[0077] V The flow rate of the electroplating solution is m / h.

[0078] S The total cross-sectional area of ​​the electroplating solution inlet is in meters. 2 .

[0079] From Formula 3, we can see that the flow rate... Q Total cross-sectional area of ​​the electroplating solution inlet in the mold cavity S Proportional, that is, the total cross-sectional area of ​​the mold cavity S The larger the volume, the higher the flow rate. Q The larger it is, the higher the pressure in its chamber. P The smaller the value of 1, the lower the flow rate. Therefore, when the area of ​​the local plating zone on the lead frame changes, the corresponding flow rate... Q and chamber pressure P All conditions 1 need to be re-adjusted.

[0080] Step 4: The total cross-sectional area of ​​the electroplating solution flow port in the mold cavity during Step 3. S Since the area of ​​the local plating area is equal to that of the plated part, Formula 4 is the practical application of Faraday's law of electrolysis in the electroplating process:

[0081] S=CItη k / Dρ Formula 4

[0082] In Formula 4:

[0083] C For electrochemical equivalents, grams / Ampere-hour;

[0084] I The current intensity is expressed in amperes.

[0085] t Electroplating time, in hours;

[0086] η k The cathode current efficiency is %

[0087] D The thickness of the spray-coated film is in meters (m).

[0088] ρ The density of the electroplated metal layer is gram. / m 3 ;

[0089] Substituting formulas 3 and 4 into formula 2, we obtain formula 5.

[0090] P 1 = 1.2 × 328.15 / (298.15· Q )

[0091] =1.2×328.15 / (298.15· VS )

[0092] =1.2×328.15 / (298.15· VCI k / Dρ )

[0093] =1.2×328.15· Dρ / (298.15· VCI k )Formula 5

[0094] As can be seen from Formula 5, the pressure in the electroplating solution chamber of the mold in this invention is... P 1. Spray electroplating film thickness in localized plating areas of the workpiece D Proportional to the flow rate of the electroplating solution V Current intensity I and electroplating time t Inversely proportional.

[0095] Step 5: Under the condition that all spray electroplating conditions remain unchanged except for the pressure of the mold electroplating solution chamber, the pressure of the upper electroplating mold electroplating solution chamber is simulated and calculated based on Formula 5 of the double-sided partial spray electroplating model constructed in this invention. P 建模正 And the pressure of the electroplating solution chamber in the lower electroplating mold. P 建模反 The setting conditions; and the pressure of the electroplating solution chamber in the upper electroplating mold of the model. P 建模正 and the pressure of the electroplating solution chamber in the lower electroplating mold P 建模反The conditions are actually applied to the actual operation of the double-sided partial spray electroplating device for partial spray electroplating on both sides of the plated part 10.

[0096] For the partial plating area on the front side of part 10, the upper mold 100A series equipment is used to set the spray electroplating conditions, and the spray electroplating treatment is performed independently on the partial plating area on the front side. For the partial plating area on the back side of part 10, the lower mold 100B series equipment is used to set the spray electroplating conditions, and the spray electroplating treatment is performed independently on the partial plating area on the back side. That is, after the upper and lower molds are closed, the independent A and B series equipment simultaneously completes the spray electroplating treatment on both sides of the partial area of ​​the lead frame in one go, resulting in a plating product with partial plating on both sides of the lead frame in one go.

[0097] Step 6: Localized spray electroplating film thickness management and control for double-sided lead frames. Equation 5 is transformed to obtain Equation 6:

[0098] D =298.15· PVCItη k / 1.2×328.15· ρ Formula 6

[0099] Based on the pressure of the electroplating solution chamber in the upper electroplating mold P 建模正 And the pressure of the electroplating solution chamber in the lower electroplating mold. P 建模反 The set conditions; using Formula 6, the corresponding electroplating film thickness for local spraying modeling of the upper lead frame can be calculated. D 建模正 And the thickness of the electroplated film in the local spray modeling of the lower lead frame. D 建模反 .

[0100] Step 7: Threshold for managing the thickness of the localized electroplating film on the double-sided lead frame. Based on the above-described localized electroplating apparatus, actual electroplating operations are performed on the localized electroplating areas on both sides of the lead frame. The obtained thickness of the electroplated film in the localized electroplating areas on both sides is... D 实测正 and D 实测反 If the following conditions are met:

[0101] D 建模正 ≤ D 实测正 ≤ D 建模正 +5% D 建模正 Formula 7

[0102] D 建模反 ≤ D实测反 ≤ D 建模反 +5% D 建模反 Formula 8

[0103] Then confirm the pressure of the electroplating solution chamber in the upper electroplating mold in step 5. P 建模正 And the pressure of the electroplating solution chamber in the lower electroplating mold. P 建模反 The specified conditions apply; otherwise, the actual conditions apply. D 实测正 and D 实测反 Based on, correction P 建模正 And verify P 建模反 Repeat steps 4 through 7 until formulas 7 and 8 are satisfied.

[0104] Furthermore, the types of metals in the electroplating solution include:

[0105] Monomer coatings include Au, Ag, Ni, Sn, Cu, Pd, Rh, and Pt.

[0106] Binary alloy metals with Au-Ni and Au-Co alloy coatings.

[0107] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also provides a double-sided partial spray electroplating system, which utilizes the above-mentioned electroplating model to achieve double-sided electroplating of the workpiece. This double-sided partial spray electroplating system includes an electroplating solution tank 90 and a mold device, namely an upper mold 100A and a lower mold 100B, as well as a control system 200. The upper mold 100A and the lower mold 100B can abut against each other, and the workpiece 10 is placed between the upper mold 100A and the lower mold 100B, enabling simultaneous electroplating of both sides of the workpiece 10. Both the upper mold 100A and the lower mold 100B are connected to the electroplating solution tank 90, and they share a single electroplating solution tank 90.

[0108] In some embodiments, the upper mold 100A includes an upper solution chamber 80A, an upper pressure gauge 70A, an upper flow meter 60A, and an upper pump 50A. The upper solution chamber 80A is connected to the upper pressure gauge 70A.

[0131] According to Figure 3 The design drawings of the lead frame shown have the following electroplating specifications: 2.5μm ≤ silver plating thickness ≤ 3.5μm; in this embodiment, the standard silver plating film thickness is 3.0μm.

[0132] Evaluation criteria for double-sided partial spray plating of lead frames:

[0133] ◆ Local film thickness on the front side of the lead frame corresponding to the upper mold:

[0134] 3.0μm≤front silver coating thickness≤3.0+0.15μm (3.0×5%)

[0135] ◆Local film thickness on the reverse side of the lead frame corresponding to the lower mold:

[0136] 3.0μm≤Reverse silver plating film thickness≤3.0+0.15μm (3.0×5%)

[0137] Actual test 1

[0138] Based on the fluid formula of the incompressible electroplating solution in the initial double-sided local spray electroplating model, the pressure conditions were calculated and simulated to obtain:

[0139] P 建模正 It is 2.5 MPa ;

[0140] P 建模反 It is 3.1 MPa .

[0141] Modeling pressure conditions were applied to a smart-controlled double-sided local spray electroplating device. Based on a silver film thickness of 3.0 μm, spray electroplating was performed on both sides of the lead frame. The actual electroplated part was obtained. The silver-plated sample of the lead frame was tested using a Fischer FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY XDV-SDD. The film thickness data of the local plating area on the front side is shown in Table 1, and the film thickness data of the local plating area on the back side is shown in Table 2.

[0142] Table 1 Frontal film thickness data

[0143]

[0144] Table 2 Reverse film thickness data

[0145]

[0146] Table 1 shows that the silver plating thickness in the localized area on the front of the leadframe ranges from Min 3.057 to Max 3.118 μm, with an error range of 1.9% to 3.9% compared to the product design standard thickness of 3.0 μm. Therefore, the solution chamber pressure on the front of the upper mold used for localized electroplating on the front of the leadframe should be 2.5 μm. MPa The conditions were confirmed, and the fluid calculation formula for the incompressible electroplating solution of the double-sided local spray electroplating model is accurate and practical.

[0147] Table 2 shows that the silver plating thickness in the localized area on the reverse side of the leadframe ranges from Min 3.061 to Max 3.115 μm, with an error range of 2.0% to 3.8% compared to the product design standard thickness of 3.0 μm. Therefore, the solution chamber pressure on the reverse side of the lower mold, which is also used for localized electroplating on the reverse side of the leadframe, is 3.1 μm. MPa The conditions were also confirmed, and the fluid calculation formula for the incompressible electroplating solution of the double-sided local spray electroplating model is accurate and practical.

[0148] Actual test 2

[0149] Based on the fluid formula of the incompressible electroplating solution in the initial double-sided local spray electroplating model, the pressure conditions were calculated and modeled; the following was obtained:

[0150] P 建模正 It is 3.1 MPa ;

[0151] P 建模反 It is 3.6 MPa .

[0152] The modeling pressure conditions were applied to the intelligent control double-sided local spray electroplating device. Based on the standard of 3.0 μm silver film thickness, the double-sided local spray electroplating operation was carried out on the lead frame to obtain the measured electroplated part 2. The equipment in measured 1 was used to detect the local silver-plated sample of the lead frame. The local film thickness data of the front side is shown in Table 3, and the local film thickness data of the back side is shown in Table 4.

[0153] Table 3 Frontal film thickness data

[0154]

[0155] Table 4. Reverse film thickness data

[0156]

[0157] Table 3 shows that the silver plating thickness in the localized area on the front of the leadframe ranges from Min 3.085 to Max 3.143 μm, with an error range of 2.8% to 4.8% compared to the product design standard thickness of 3.0 μm. Therefore, the solution chamber pressure on the front of the upper mold used for localized electroplating on the front of the leadframe should be 3.1 μm. MPa The conditions were confirmed, and the fluid calculation formula for the incompressible electroplating solution of the double-sided local spray electroplating model is accurate and practical.

[0158] Table 4 shows that the silver plating thickness in the localized area on the reverse side of the leadframe ranges from Min 3.099 to Max 3.145 μm, with an error range of 3.3% to 4.8% compared to the product design standard thickness of 3.0 μm. Therefore, the solution chamber pressure on the reverse side of the lower mold, which is also used for localized electroplating on the reverse side of the leadframe, is 3.6 μm. MPa The conditions were also confirmed, and the fluid calculation formula for the incompressible electroplating solution of the double-sided local spray electroplating model is accurate and practical.

[0159] Based on the data obtained from measurements 1 and 2, training calculations were performed using formulas 5 to 6 of the double-sided local spray electroplating model of the lead frame of the present invention. Under the simulated double-sided local spray electroplating conditions of the lead frame, the solution chamber pressure data of the front and back sides of the double-sided local spray electroplating mold of the lead frame were obtained. The detailed results are shown in Table 5.

[0160] Table 5. Pressure in the forward and reverse solution chambers and coating thickness

[0161]

[0162] Table 5 shows that, based on the measured data obtained from measurements 1 and 2, and by applying formulas 5 to 6 of the lead frame double-sided partial spray electroplating model of this invention under different solution chamber pressure conditions on the front and back sides of the lead frame double-sided partial spray electroplating mold, training calculations were performed to simulate the range of solution chamber pressure on the front side of the partial spray electroplating mold from 2.3 to 3.3 in simulations 1 to 9. MPa The average film thickness obtained from simulation calculations ranged from 3.092 to 3.128 μm, depending on the variation. Similarly, the solution chamber pressure on the reverse side of the localized spray electroplating mold ranged from 3.1 to 3.8 μm. MPa The variation in thickness was calculated, and the average thickness of the reverse side film obtained from the simulation was 3.096–3.129 μm.

[0163] The solution chamber pressure on the front side of the double-sided partial spray electroplating mold for the lead frame, measured in both tests 1 and 2, is 2.5. MPa and 3.1 MPa The pressure range of its solution chamber is 2.3–3.3. MPa Between; similarly, the pressure of the solution chamber on its opposite side is 3.1. MPa and 3.6 MPa Its pressure range is 3.1 to 3.8. MPa Between. From the film thickness test results in Tables 1-4, it can be seen that the film thickness data obtained from electroplating on both sides of the electroplating mold under the solution chamber pressure conditions of measured 1 and measured 2 both satisfy the calculation formulas 7 and 8 of the lead frame double-sided local spray electroplating model of this invention. To verify that the solution chamber pressure is lower than that of measured 1, the upper mold solution chamber pressure of simulation 1-2, 2.35, was selected. MPa The pressure in the lower mold solution chamber is 2.95. MPa Actual measurement 3 was performed; similarly, to verify the higher solution chamber pressure than measured 2, the upper mold solution chamber pressure of simulation 8-9 was selected as 3.25. MPa The pressure in the lower mold solution chamber is 3.75. MPa The film thickness data of the local coating areas on the front and back sides of the actual measurement 4, actual measurement 3, and actual measurement 4 are shown in Table 6.

[0164] Table 6. Thickness of Double-Sided Partial Silver Plating Film

[0165]

[0166] As shown in Table 6, the measured pressure of the upper mold solution chamber on the front side of the double-sided partial spray electroplating mold of lead frame 3 is 2.35. MPaUnder these conditions, the minimum silver film thickness in the front local plating area is 2.995 μm, exceeding the lower limit of the management standard and failing to meet the requirement of 3.0 μm ≤ front silver film thickness ≤ 3.0 + 0.15 μm; the pressure in the lower mold solution chamber on the reverse side is 2.95. MPa Under these conditions, the minimum thickness of the silver film in the localized plating area on the reverse side is 2.992 μm, which also exceeds the lower limit of the management standard and does not meet the requirement of the discrimination standard 3.0 μm ≤ silver film thickness on the reverse side ≤ 3.0 + 0.15 μm; therefore, the measured pressure of the mold solution chamber on the front and back sides of the double-sided localized spray electroplating mold of lead frame 3 cannot be included in the construction database of the double-sided localized spray electroplating model of this invention.

[0167] The measured pressure in the upper mold solution chamber of the double-sided partial spray electroplating mold on the lead frame was 3.25. MPa Under these conditions, the maximum thickness of the silver plating film in the localized plating area on the front side is 3.156 μm, exceeding the upper limit of the management standard and failing to meet the requirement of 3.0 μm ≤ front silver plating film thickness ≤ 3.150 μm; the pressure in the lower mold solution chamber on the reverse side is 3.75. MPa Under these conditions, the maximum thickness of the silver film in the reverse local plating area is 3.161 μm, which also exceeds the upper limit of the management standard and does not meet the requirement of the discrimination standard 3.0 μm ≤ reverse silver film thickness ≤ 3.1500 μm; therefore, the measured mold solution chamber pressure on the front and back sides of the lead frame double-sided local spray electroplating mold of the present invention cannot be included in the construction database of the double-sided local spray electroplating model of the present invention.

[0168] The results of actual measurements 1 to 4 are arranged in the order of simulation 2, actual measurement 1, simulation 2 to 7, actual measurement 2 and simulation 8. The detailed results are shown in Table 7.

[0169] Table 7. Thickness of Double-Sided Partial Silver Plating Film

[0170]

[0171] Table 7 shows the mold solution chamber pressure on the front side of the double-sided partial spray electroplating mold for the lead frame. P 模拟正 The range is 2.4 to 3.2. MPa Under certain conditions, the film thickness on the front side of the lead frame D 建模正 The range is 3.095–3.124 μm. The mold solution chamber pressure on the reverse side of the double-sided localized spray electroplating mold for the lead frame. P 模拟反 The range is 3.0 to 3.7. MPa Under certain conditions, the film thickness on the reverse side of the lead frame D 建模反 The range is 3.099–3.125 μm.

[0172] As can be seen from the above sequence, the authenticity of the initial simulation 2 and the final simulation 8 needs to be further verified by actual measurement using the double-sided local spray electroplating device of the present invention. The data of simulation 2 and simulation 8 are measured by the double-sided local spray electroplating device of the present invention. Among them, the measured data 5 is the data obtained under the conditions of simulation 2, and the measured data 6 is the data obtained under the conditions of simulation 8. The local plating area film thickness data of the front and back sides of measured data 5 and measured data 6 are shown in Table 8.

[0173] Table 8. Thickness of Double-Sided Partial Silver Plating Film

[0174]

[0175] As shown in Table 8, the measured film thickness error of 5 is 3.20%–3.93% on the front side and 3.37%–4.03% on the back side, which meets the requirements of the present invention. D Requirements for the judgment criteria.

[0176] 3.0μm≤front silver coating thickness≤3.0+0.15μm (3.0×5%)

[0177] 3.0μm≤Reverse silver plating film thickness≤3.0+0.15μm (3.0×5%)

[0178] The results of measurements 1-6 show that adjusting the mold solution chamber pressure on the front side of the double-sided local spray electroplating mold of the lead frame can achieve the desired effect. P The range is 2.4 to 3.0. MPa Under these conditions; and the pressure of the mold solution chamber on the reverse side of the double-sided partial spray electroplating mold. P The range is 3.2 to 3.7. MPa Under these conditions, it can ensure that the thickness of the silver plating film on both sides of the lead frame meets the discrimination requirements.

[0179] In summary, this invention, through the creation of Formula 6, a calculation model for the thickness of the lead frame double-sided local spray electroplating film, enables intelligent control of the upper chamber pressure during the actual operation of the double-sided local spray electroplating device on the lead frame. P 实测正 and lower chamber pressure P 实测反 The set value is adjusted and stabilized. The more stable the pressure value, the smaller the error between the thickness of the coating on both sides of the double-sided local spray electroplating, resulting in more precise and superior product performance.

[0180] Based on the integration of semiconductor leadframe double-sided partial spray electroplating technology and intelligent control technology in this invention, the created double-sided leadframe partial spray electroplating calculation model can quickly establish the production conditions for the double-sided partial spray electroplating film thickness of leadframes in various monomeric metal salts and binary metal salt electroplating solutions during actual production. Furthermore, through the intelligent control system of the leadframe double-sided partial spray electroplating film thickness condition calculation model, it can not only quickly and accurately predict the double-sided partial spray electroplating film thickness of semiconductor leadframes, significantly reducing the error with the actual electroplated product's coating thickness, but also promote the improvement of the uniformity of the double-sided partial spray electroplating film thickness, thus meeting the high-quality requirements of high-end semiconductor leadframe products.

[0181] The intelligent control system for double-sided localized jet electroplating constructed in this invention can stabilize the pressure in the upper and lower chambers of the electroplating mold by precisely adjusting the pump flow rate, thereby controlling the jet electroplating film thickness in the double-sided localized plating area of ​​the semiconductor lead frame within a standard range. By employing a jet electroplating intelligent control system with a double-sided localized mold chamber structure, the system continuously optimizes the pressure in real time based on the simulated chamber pressure and actual flow rate of the pump flow-pressure control system. This obtains the optimal standard for the double-sided chamber pressure, ensuring precise management of the double-sided plating layer and enabling a precise and rapid method and system for constructing a double-sided localized jet electroplating model.
