Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor packaging wet process technology, specifically an electroplating tank device with a reciprocating moving spray plate. Background Technology

[0002] In typical wafer or semiconductor electroplating, to accelerate the diffusion of metal cations in the plating solution and reduce ion enrichment lag near the wafer surface, a stirrer is usually added to agitate the plating solution. The stirrer is typically a vertically oriented platen placed between the anode plate and the wafer, and is driven by a mechanism to reciprocate parallel to the wafer direction. This method promotes the uniformity of metal ions in the plating solution; however, because the stirrer is located in front of the wafer, the liquid flow is primarily parallel to the wafer direction, resulting in a relatively small effect on the diffusion of ions along the distance between the anode plate and the wafer. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an electroplating tank device with a reciprocating moving spray plate.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an electroplating tank device with a reciprocating moving spray plate, comprising: outer pool body; An inner tank is disposed inside the outer tank, and an overflow pool for receiving electroplating solution overflowing from the inner tank is provided between the inner wall of the outer tank and the outer wall of the inner tank; the inner tank has space for vertically installing electroplating racks and vertically installing anode plate assemblies, and the object to be electroplated is installed on the electroplating racks. A spray plate is movably disposed inside the inner tank, the spray plate being located between the electroplating rack and the anode plate assembly, the spray plate comprising multiple spray pipes, each spray pipe having multiple spray holes facing the electroplating rack. A reciprocating drive mechanism is used to drive the spray disc to reciprocate along a horizontal direction parallel to the electroplating fixture; A circulating spray pump is used to pump the electroplating solution from the overflow tank to the spray plate. When the electroplating solution in the inner tank exceeds the liquid level limit, it overflows into the overflow tank, and is then pumped to the spray plate by the circulating spray pump. It is sprayed from the spray hole onto the surface of the electroplating object on the electroplating rack and returns to the inner tank, forming a circulating spray of electroplating solution onto the surface of the electroplating object. Multiple spray pipes are arranged vertically at equal intervals. The diameter of the spray pipe is a, the distance between adjacent spray pipes is a, the maximum horizontal stroke of the reciprocating drive mechanism driving the spray disc to move back and forth is a, a = (9-11) mm, the horizontal speed of the spray disc moving back and forth is (0.5-2) m / min, and the flow rate of the spray disc is (10-80) L / min.

[0005] This invention utilizes a combination of a spray disc and a circulating spray pump to directly spray the electroplating solution onto the surface of the object along the distance between the anode plate and the object being plated. This significantly enhances the flow and diffusion of metal ions in this direction, effectively alleviating the problem of ion accumulation lag on the object's surface. Simultaneously, a reciprocating drive mechanism moves the spray disc horizontally, ensuring more comprehensive and uniform spray coverage and preventing insufficient or excessive ion supply in localized areas. This significantly improves the uniformity of the electroplated layer thickness and the deposition quality. Compared to traditional parallel stirring methods, this solution combines active directional spraying with reciprocating movement, providing a more targeted and enhanced stirring effect on the electroplating solution and further optimizing the process stability of semiconductor electroplating.

[0006] Furthermore, the reciprocating drive mechanism has multiple reversing position points for driving the spray disc to reciprocate.

[0007] By adopting the above-mentioned preferred scheme, multiple reversing positions allow the spray disc to adjust its movement rhythm according to electroplating requirements throughout the entire stroke, avoiding the problem of excessively long or short spraying time in the end area caused by reciprocating at a fixed endpoint, and further improving the overall electroplating uniformity.

[0008] Furthermore, the reversing position points of the reciprocating drive mechanism that drive the spray disc to reciprocate are evenly distributed along the entire maximum stroke path.

[0009] By adopting the above-mentioned preferred scheme, the evenly distributed reversing position points enable the spray disc to maintain a stable movement rhythm throughout the entire moving stroke, ensuring that the spray frequency and action time of each area on the surface of the electroplated object are highly consistent, thus providing a guarantee for uniform electroplating from the perspective of motion control.

[0010] Furthermore, the reciprocating drive mechanism employs a linear motor.

[0011] By adopting the above-mentioned preferred scheme, the linear motor has the characteristics of fast response speed and high positioning accuracy, and can accurately control the moving speed, position and reversing timing of the spray disc, so as to meet the fine requirements of different electroplating processes for spray movement parameters.

[0012] Furthermore, a filter is installed on the outlet pipe of the circulating spray pump.

[0013] By adopting the above-mentioned preferred solution, the filter can effectively intercept impurities that may exist in the electroplating solution, ensuring the surface quality of the electroplated products.

[0014] Furthermore, a defoamer is installed on the outlet pipe of the circulating spray pump.

[0015] By adopting the above-mentioned preferred solution, the defoamer can remove the bubbles generated during the circulation and transportation of the electroplating solution, prevent the bubbles from adhering to the surface of the electroplated object and forming defects such as pinholes and pits, and significantly improve the density and surface smoothness of the electroplated layer.

[0016] Furthermore, all of the spray pipes are arranged vertically and are distributed at equal intervals along the horizontal direction.

[0017] By adopting the above-mentioned preferred solution, the spray pipe is moved back and forth in the horizontal direction by means of the reciprocating drive mechanism, which can enhance the stirring and mixing effect in the direction parallel to the electroplating rack.

[0018] Furthermore, the inner pool body is provided with a first slot for inserting and installing electroplating fixtures and a second slot for inserting and installing anode plate assemblies on its side wall.

[0019] By adopting the above-mentioned preferred solution, the slot-type structure makes the installation and disassembly of the electroplating rack and anode plate assembly more convenient and efficient, and facilitates subsequent maintenance, replacement and cleaning of the components.

[0020] Furthermore, the bottom of the spray disc is provided with rollers, and the bottom inner side of the inner pool is provided with guide grooves, with the rollers cooperating with the guide grooves.

[0021] By adopting the above-mentioned preferred scheme, the cooperation between the roller and the guide groove provides a stable guiding effect for the reciprocating movement of the spray disc, ensuring that the spray disc always moves in a direction parallel to the electroplating fixture, avoiding spray position deviation caused by offset; the roller structure converts the sliding friction between the spray disc and the bottom of the inner tank into rolling friction, which greatly reduces the moving resistance, reduces the power consumption of the reciprocating drive mechanism, and at the same time reduces component wear and extends the service life of the spray disc and the inner tank.

[0022] Furthermore, an overhead space is provided between the bottom surface of the inner pool and the bottom of the inner side of the outer pool, and the bottom surface of the guide groove is provided with a liquid drop hole that runs vertically through the bottom.

[0023] Using the preferred scheme described above, the liquid discharge hole at the bottom of the guide groove provides a channel for the discharge of accumulated liquid.

[0024] Furthermore, it also includes a lifting drive mechanism, which is used to drive the spray disc to move up and down along the inner pool. It works in conjunction with the reciprocating drive mechanism to drive the spray disc to achieve a composite movement in the horizontal and vertical directions, ensuring that all points on all electroplating surfaces of the electroplating object can receive the spray from the spray holes.

[0025] Using the above-mentioned preferred scheme, in the electroplating process, the lifting drive mechanism drives the spray plate to move unidirectionally, the reciprocating drive mechanism drives the spray plate to move horizontally in one direction, and the lifting drive mechanism and the reciprocating drive mechanism cooperate to drive the spray plate to achieve a composite motion along the curve. In this way, the movement of the spray water column and the overflow direction from bottom to top are coordinated to achieve a constantly changing liquid flow direction on the surface of the object being electroplated. This helps to remove residual cavities in the microstructure of the electroplated surface and effectively prevents the occurrence of electroplating defects such as pinholes, pits, and voids.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] like Figure 1-7 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is: an electroplating tank device with a reciprocating moving spray plate, comprising: outer pool body 10; The inner tank 20 is disposed inside the outer tank 10, and there is an overflow tank 30 between the inner wall of the outer tank 10 and the outer wall of the inner tank 20 for receiving the electroplating solution overflowing from the inner tank; the inner tank 20 has a space for vertically installing the electroplating rack 70 and the anode plate assembly 80, and the object to be electroplated 74 is installed on the electroplating rack 70. The spray plate 40 is movably disposed inside the inner tank 20. The spray plate 40 is located between the electroplating rack 70 and the anode plate assembly 80. The spray plate 40 includes multiple spray pipes 41, and the spray pipes 41 are provided with multiple spray holes facing the electroplating rack 70. The reciprocating drive mechanism 50 is used to drive the spray disc 40 to reciprocate along a horizontal direction parallel to the electroplating rack 70. A circulating spray pump 60 is used to pump the electroplating solution in the overflow tank 30 to the spray plate 40. When the electroplating solution in the inner tank 20 exceeds the liquid level limit, it overflows into the overflow tank 30, and is then sent to the spray plate 40 by the circulating spray pump 60. It is sprayed from the spray hole onto the surface of the object to be electroplated 74 on the electroplating rack and returns to the inner tank 20. The electroplating solution then overflows from bottom to top into the overflow tank 30, forming a circulating spray of the electroplating solution onto the surface of the object to be electroplated.

[0038] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: Through the cooperation of the spray disc and the circulating spray pump, the electroplating solution can be directly sprayed onto the surface of the electroplating object along the distance between the anode plate and the object being plated, significantly enhancing the flow and diffusion effect of metal ions in this direction and effectively alleviating the problem of ion enrichment lag on the surface of the object being plated. Simultaneously, the reciprocating drive mechanism moves the spray disc horizontally, making the spray coverage more comprehensive and uniform, avoiding insufficient or excessive ion supply in local areas, and significantly improving the thickness uniformity and deposition quality of the electroplated layer. Compared with the traditional parallel stirring method, this solution combines active directional spraying with reciprocating movement, making the stirring enhancement effect of the electroplating solution more targeted and further optimizing the process stability of semiconductor electroplating.

[0039] In some other embodiments of this utility model, multiple spray pipes are arranged vertically at equal intervals.

The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the cooperation between the rollers and the guide grooves provides a stable guiding effect for the reciprocating movement of the spray disc, ensuring that the spray disc always moves in a direction parallel to the electroplating fixture, avoiding spray position deviation caused by offset; the roller structure converts the sliding friction between the spray disc and the bottom of the inner tank into rolling friction, greatly reducing the moving resistance, reducing the power consumption of the reciprocating drive mechanism, and at the same time reducing component wear and extending the service life of the spray disc and the inner tank.

[0068] In some other embodiments of this utility model, an overhead space 11 is provided between the bottom surface of the inner pool 20 and the bottom inner side of the outer pool 10, and the bottom surface of the guide groove is provided with a vertically penetrating drop hole. The beneficial effect of adopting the above technical solution is that the drop hole at the bottom of the guide groove provides a channel for the discharge of accumulated liquid.

[0069] In some other embodiments of this utility model, a lifting drive mechanism is also included. This lifting drive mechanism drives the spray disc 40 to move up and down along the inner tank. It cooperates with the reciprocating drive mechanism 50 to drive the spray disc 40 to achieve a composite movement in both horizontal and vertical directions, ensuring that all points on all electroplated surfaces of the object can receive direct spray from the spray holes. The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: during the electroplating process, the lifting drive mechanism drives the unidirectional lifting movement of the spray disc, the reciprocating drive mechanism drives the unidirectional horizontal movement of the spray disc, and the lifting drive mechanism and the reciprocating drive mechanism cooperate to drive the spray disc to achieve a composite movement along a curve. This movement of the spray water column, combined with the upward overflow direction, achieves a constantly changing liquid flow direction on the surface of the object being electroplated. This helps to expel residual cavities within the microstructure of the electroplated surface, effectively preventing electroplating defects such as pinholes, pits, and voids.

[0070] like Figure 8 As shown, in some other embodiments of this utility model, the top of the spray disc 40 is provided with a vertically arranged pull pin 43, and also includes a horizontal connecting piece 51. The reciprocating drive mechanism 50 adopts a linear motor. One end of the horizontal connecting piece 51 is connected to the movable end of the linear motor. The horizontal connecting piece 51 is provided with a through hole and is sleeved on the pull pin 43. The pull pin 43 and the through hole are in a sliding fit that can move axially. The linear motor applies a horizontal force to the spray disc 40 through the horizontal connecting piece 51, without affecting the lifting and lowering movement of the spray disc. A liftable guide rail plate 91 is installed at the bottom of the inner pool 20. A guide groove is provided on the guide rail plate 91, and the rollers at the bottom of the spray disc 40 cooperate with the guide groove. A guide post 92, penetrating the bottom wall of the inner pool 20, is provided at the bottom of the guide rail plate 91. A lower connecting plate 94 is connected to the bottom end of the guide post 92. The lower connecting plate 94 is located in the overhead space 11 below the bottom surface of the inner pool 20. A compression spring 93 is fitted around the lower outer periphery of the guide post 92, with its two ends abutting against the bottom surface of the inner pool 20 and the upper surface of the lower connecting plate 94, respectively. The lifting drive mechanism is an airbag 95, located below the lower connecting plate 94. The airbag 95 is connected to an inflation / deflation control valve and an air pump via pipelines. By inflating the airbag 95, the lower connecting plate 94 is lifted, thereby causing the spray disc 40 to rise; by deflating the airbag 95, the spray disc 40 descends with the guide rail plate 91 under the reset action of the compression spring 92.
