Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a tin or tin alloy electroplating composition containing a smoothing agent, the use of the composition, and a method for electroplating tin or tin alloys. [Background technology]

[0002] Metals and metal alloys are commercially important, particularly in the electronics industry, and are often used as electrical contacts, finishes, and solder. Lead-free solders, such as tin, tin-silver, tin-copper, tin-bismuth, and tin-silver-copper, are common metals used in solder. These solders are often deposited onto semiconductor substrates by metal electroplating baths.

[0003] A typical tin plating solution contains dissolved tin ions, water, an acid electrolyte sufficient to impart conductivity to the bath (e.g., methanesulfonic acid), an antioxidant, and proprietary additives to improve the uniformity of the plating and the quality of metal deposition with respect to surface roughness and void formation. Such additives typically include, among others, surfactants and crystallization agents.

[0004] Certain applications of lead-free solder plating present challenges in the electronics industry. For example, when used as a capping layer on copper pillars, relatively small amounts of lead-free solder, such as tin-silver solder, are deposited on top of the copper pillars. When plating such small amounts of solder, it is often difficult to achieve a uniform height of solder composition on top of each pillar, both within the die and across the wafer. Using known solder electroplating baths often results in deposition with a relatively rough surface morphology.

[0005] US3361652 discloses an acidic tin electroplating composition comprising a primary brightener represented by the formula X-CH=CH-Y, where X is phenyl, furfuryl, or pyridyl, and Y may be a hydrogen, formyl, carboxyl, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, formylalkyl, or carboxylic acid acyl radical. One of the brighteners mentioned is benzylideneacetone (benzalacetone).

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, US4582576 is given by the following formula [ka] Disclosed are acidic tin electroplating compositions comprising a carbonyl compound represented by the formula, where X1 and X2 may be hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkoxy, chlorine, or bromine, and the alkyl group of the alkoxy group may contain about 1 to about 5 carbon atoms. Examples of such compounds include benzylideneacetone (benzalacetone) and 3'-chlorobenzylideneacetone.

[0007] US2014 / 183050A1 discloses a tin or tin alloy electroplating solution suitable for via filling to selectively deposit tin or a tin alloy in vias, and a method for via filling using the solution, which can form substantially void-free columnar deposition. The plating solution contains a specific α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound added to the tin or tin alloy plating solution. Such carbonyl compounds may be specifically substituted with alkyl groups, alkenyl groups, alkoxy groups, amino groups, halogen atoms, hydroxyl groups, carbonyl groups, and cyano groups, each having 1 to 9 carbon atoms. Examples include 3-chloroacetophenone, crotonyl chloride, butenoyl chloride, and 4-chloro-2-butenal.

[0008] However, prior art has not solved, or even addressed, the problem of achieving uniform height both within the die and across the wafer, and improving the roughness of the deposited solder. Therefore, the electronics industry still needs pure tin or tin alloy electroplating baths that provide improved roughness Ra and good, or even better, uniformity in height, also known as coplanarity (COP), of solder deposition.

[0009] [Patent Document 1] US3361652 [Patent Document 2] US4582576 [Patent Document 3] US2014 / 183050A1 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0010] An object of the present invention is to provide a tin or tin alloy electroplating composition that yields a uniform and planar tin or tin alloy deposition, particularly in the form of a characteristic recessed shape with a width of 1 to 200 micrometers. A further object of the present invention is to provide a tin or tin alloy electroplating composition having good leveling properties, in particular a tin or tin alloy electroplating bath that can provide a substantially planar tin or tin alloy layer and fill characteristic shapes on a micrometer scale, without substantially forming defects, such as voids, etc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] Summary of the Invention The present invention relates to a tin ion, an alloy metal ion optionally selected from silver ions, indium ions, and bismuth ions, and formula L1a [ka] or the formula L1b

Chemical formula

[0012] A further embodiment of the present invention is a method of using the additives described herein in a bath for precipitating a tin or tin alloy-containing layer, wherein the tin alloy-containing layer contains an alloying metal selected from silver, copper, indium, and bismuth in an amount of 0.01 to 10% by mass.

[0013] A further embodiment of the present invention is a method for depositing a tin or tin alloy layer on a substrate, comprising the following steps a) A step of bringing a tin alloy electroplating bath containing the composition described herein into contact with a substrate, and b) The process of applying an electric current to the substrate for a sufficient time to deposit a tin or tin alloy layer onto the substrate. This is the method.

[0014] The additives according to the present invention can be advantageously used in bonding technologies, for example, in the manufacture of tin or tin alloy bumps for bump processes, typically having a height and width of 1 to 200, preferably 3 to 100, most preferably 5 to 50 micrometers, in circuit board technology, or in electronic circuit packaging processes. In one particular embodiment, the substrate includes a characteristic shape of micrometer size, and deposition is performed to fill the characteristic shape of micrometer size, which has a size of 1 to 200 micrometers, preferably 3 to 100 micrometers.

The additives according to the present invention also result in the deposition of tin or tin alloys exhibiting good or even better coplanarity (COP).

[0069] As used herein, "recessed feature" refers to vias, trenches, or any other openings in the substrate, specifically openings for depositing solder bumps. As used herein, "aperture size" refers to the shortest distance across the opening of the recessed feature.

[0070] Preferably, the substrate includes a recessed characteristic shape having an aperture size of 1 to 1000 micrometers, and the deposition is carried out to at least partially fill the micrometer-sized recessed characteristic shape. Most preferably, the recessed characteristic shape has an aperture size of 1 to 200 micrometers, preferably 3 to 100 micrometers.

[0071] Generally, when depositing tin or a tin alloy on a substrate using the present invention, the plating bath is stirred during use. Preferably, a tin alloy is deposited, and the alloy metal content of the deposited tin alloy is 0.01 to 10% by mass. Any suitable stirring method may be used in conjunction with the present invention, and such methods are well known in the art. Suitable stirring methods include, but are not limited to, spraying with an inert gas or air, stirring the workpiece, and impacting. Such methods are known to those skilled in the art. When plating an integrated circuit substrate such as a wafer using the present invention, the wafer may be rotated, for example, at 1 to 150 RPM, and the plating solution may be brought into contact with the rotating wafer, for example, by a pump or spray. In an alternative embodiment, if the flow of the plating bath is sufficient to provide the desired metal deposit, it is not necessary to rotate the wafer.

[0074] These additives can be used with soluble and insoluble anodes, either in the presence or absence of a membrane(s) that separates the cathode liquid from the anode liquid.

[0075] The cathode substrate and the anode are electrically connected to the power supply unit by wiring. For DC or pulsed current, the cathode substrate has a net negative charge, and therefore metal ions in the solution are reduced on the cathode substrate, forming a plated metal on the cathode surface. An oxidation reaction occurs at the anode. The cathode and anode may be arranged horizontally or vertically in the tank.

[0076] Generally, when manufacturing tin or tin alloy bumps, a photoresist layer is applied to a semiconductor wafer, followed by standard photolithography exposure and development techniques to form a patterned photoresist layer (or plating mask) with openings or vias. The dimensions of the plating mask (thickness of the plating mask and size of the openings in the pattern) define the size and position of the tin or tin alloy layer deposited on the I / O pads and UBM.

[0086] 10 μm tin was electroplated onto copper microbumps. The copper microbumps had a diameter of 25 μm and a height of 25 μm. A large 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm wafer coupon with a 50 μm thick patterned photoresist layer was immersed in the above plating bath, and a DC current density of 10 ASD was applied for 300 seconds at 25°C. The plated tin bumps were inspected using a laser scanning microscope (LSM).

[0087] The results are shown in Table 1.
