Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electronic plating, and particularly relates to a copper interconnection plating leveler and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Electronic copper plating is a basic and general technology for realizing electrical interconnection in horizontal and vertical directions in chip manufacturing, advanced packaging and circuit board manufacturing, so as to realize the filling of different opening structures such as damascene trenches, rewiring layers, micro-bumps, through silicon vias, through glass vias and micro-blind holes in a flat and uniform manner. In addition to copper sulfate, sulfuric acid and chloride ions in the plating solution, organic additives such as inhibitors, accelerators and levelers need to be added to solve the control of plating appearance, growth morphology and material properties, and the leveler is the core component that determines the filling mode and performance of the plating solution.

[0003] With the development of miniaturization and integration of integrated circuits, copper interconnection plating filling on semiconductors and circuit boards also faces new development challenges: on the one hand, the aspect ratio range of opening interconnection structures is further expanded, including not only large aspect ratio through silicon vias of more than 10:1, but also small aspect ratio rewiring layer pattern holes of less than 0.5:1, and high-performance plating levelers and plating solution formulations need to be developed to match the design and processing of new interconnection structures; on the other hand, it is expected in actual production that the same plating solution can meet the defect-free filling of different sizes and types of interconnection structures through simple adjustment of component concentration and current density, so as to reduce the cost problems and quality fluctuations caused by plating solution switching. The appearance requirements of the opening structure plating filling generally include: (1) bright and flat appearance, uniform thickness; (2) as small as possible recess or protrusion value of the hole opening, different patterns coplanar; (3) no defects such as cavities and gaps in the hole; (4) on the premise of filling quality, as high as possible current density and as large as possible process control window.

[0004] In order to meet the filling of complex opening interconnection structures, the industry has developed various plating solutions with different leveler molecular systems and multiple levelers. However, in the process of technical update and iteration, how to design and synthesize new additives to accurately control the morphology and optimize the performance of the plating solution and the plated material has always been the focus and difficulty of the industry. Therefore, how to provide a plating solution that can adapt to different opening types and sizes, accurately control the growth morphology and guarantee the material performance has become a problem to be solved.

It can meet the electroplating filling and pattern co-electroplating of hole structures with a certain aspect ratio span range on wafers and substrates, has the industrial application advantages of wide adaptation scene, simple maintenance and control, and low production cost, and can be applied to the fields of integrated circuit manufacturing, integrated circuit packaging, circuit board manufacturing and photovoltaic manufacturing involving copper interconnection electroplating of hole structures.

[0088] Finally, 1.44 g of yellow viscous product 10 was obtained.

[0089] Effect evaluation:

[0090] An electroplating solution composition 1 was prepared according to the following formula and mixed uniformly: pure water 1500 mL, copper sulfate pentahydrate 220 g / L, 98 wt% concentrated sulfuric acid 28 ml / L, 37 wt% hydrochloric acid 0.15 ml / L, accelerator polydithiodipropyl sulfonic acid sodium 2 mg / L, inhibitor polyethylene glycol (weight average molecular weight 20000) 400 mg / L, and leveler reaction product 15 mg / L of Example 1-10.

[0091] The electroplating solution composition 1 was used to carry out a Halling tank electroplating test according to the following method: the cathode was a high-density interconnection plate sample with a cutting size of 100×50 mm (length×width), which was formed into three kinds of aperture structures with a depth-to-width ratio of 125×100, 100×75 and 100×50 μm (pore diameter×pore depth) by chemical copper plating and flash copper plating, respectively; the anode was a phosphorus copper plate (phosphorus content 0.05 wt.%) with a cutting size of 120×60 mm (length×width); the volume of the electroplating solution composition was 1500 ml, the temperature was 25°C, air stirring was applied at 7.2 L / min, the current density was 1.8 A / dm 2 , and the electroplating time was 43 min. After the sample was electroplated, it was washed with pure water and dried by cold air, and then a cross-section metallographic slice of the micro-blind hole was prepared, and the filling defect, surface copper thickness value (about 10 μm of the bottom copper was not counted) and center depression value (the results of Test 1 are shown in Table 1) were observed. Figure 1

[0092]

[0093] As can be seen from the above table and Figure 1 , the leveler products 1-4 prepared by Examples 1-4 of the present application can achieve defect-free filling for the micro-blind hole with a depth-to-width ratio of 0.5-0.8 for the electroplating of high-density interconnection plates, the surface copper thickness value is about 15 μm, and the center depression value is -2.0~-6.0 μm, which meets the technical requirements of electroplating for circuit board manufacturing.

[0094] ​The electroplating solution composition 2 was prepared according to the following formula and mixed uniformly: pure water 1500 mL, copper sulfate pentahydrate 200 g / L, 98 wt% concentrated sulfuric acid 56 ml / L, 37 wt% hydrochloric acid 0.15 ml / L, accelerator polydithiodipropyl sulfone sodium 2 mg / L, inhibitor polyethylene glycol (weight average molecular weight 20000) 400 mg / L, and leveler reaction product of examples 5-10 20 mg / L.

[0095] The electroplating solution composition 2 was used to carry out the following plating test in a Halling tank: the cathode was a re-distribution layer wafer die with a cutting size of 25x25 (lengthxwidth, unit: mm), which was formed with two second-order opening structures of lower layer 30x5 μm (aperturexhole depth) and upper layer 60x10 μm (aperturexhole depth), and lower layer 50x5 μm (aperturexhole depth) and upper layer 60x10 μm (aperturexhole depth) by multiple photoetching and sputtering; the anode was a phosphor copper plate (phosphor content 0.05 wt.%) with a cutting size of 120x60 (lengthxwidth, unit: mm); the volume of the electroplating solution composition was 1500 ml, the temperature was 25°C, air agitation was applied at 7.2 L / min, the current density was 3 A / dm 2 , and the plating time was 18 min. After the wafer die was plated, it was rinsed with pure water and dimethyl sulfoxide was used to remove the upper layer photoresist, then cross-section cutting was carried out using a focused ion beam and the filling defects, hole center and edge difference value (difference value = height of plated layer at hole center - height of plated layer at hole edge) were observed, and the results are shown in Table 13. Figure 2

[0096]

[0097] As can be seen from the above table and Figure 2 , the leveler products 4-6 prepared in examples 4-6 can achieve defect-free filling for the re-distribution layer wafer die with a second-order opening structure of aspect ratio 0.1-0.17, and the hole center and edge difference value is between -0.5-0.5 μm, which meets the requirements of wafer-level packaging plating technology.

[0098] In addition, when the electroplating solution composition 1 (comparative example 1) prepared using gentian violet B as the leveler was used to plate a high-density interconnection board (results shown in Table 14 Figure 3 ), the face copper thickness value was about 15 μm and the center depression value was 20.5 μm, which did not meet the filling efficiency requirements of the circuit board manufacturing and had a significant gap with examples 1-4; when the electroplating solution composition 2 (comparative example 2) prepared using gentian violet B as the leveler was used to plate a re-distribution layer wafer die (results shown in Table 15 Figure 4 ), the re-distribution layer wafer die was not filled and the hole center and edge difference value was about -4 μm, which did not meet the filling efficiency requirements of wafer-level packaging and had a significant gap with examples 4-6, indicating that it is not suitable for small aspect ratio openings.​

[0099] And from the above data can be found, the application by using specific raw materials, can further reduce the hole difference value, and effectively control the recess value range, improve the product effect.
