Description

Tin-silver plating solution for solder bumps

[0001] The present invention relates to a tin-silver plating solution, and more particularly, to a tin-silver plating solution for solder bumps plated on a substrate of an electronic component including a semiconductor device.

[0002] The miniaturization and increased functionality of electronic devices like smartphones are driving demands for faster operation of core components like memory and increased electrode density. Consequently, flip-chip packaging technology is rapidly expanding. Conventional wire bonding involves connecting the chip and substrate with fine wiring. However, this method, which utilizes only the chip's edges, limits its ability to achieve high chip integration and improve electrical performance.

[0003] Meanwhile, the flip-chip packaging process forms solder bumps at intervals of tens of microns across the entire surface of the integrated circuit chip, and then directly bonds them to the circuit board by applying heat. This allows for a significant increase in the number of input / output terminals per unit area compared to the wire bonding method, making it applicable to fine pitch designs. Furthermore, because the length of the solder bumps is much shorter than that of the bonding wire, it offers superior electrical characteristics and component lifespan. Therefore, flip-chip technology can minimize package size, making it suitable for implementing lightweight, compact, high-performance, and high-speed electronic products, and it can also resolve issues such as noise. This technology can be expanded to not only CPUs and memories, but also the display field and the semiconductor industry as a whole.

[0004] These flip-chip packages come in various forms, but solder bumps are used, which are plated using a pure tin or tin-silver plating solution on a copper (or copper / nickel) pillar on a copper-based under bump metallurgy (UBM), and there is a need for the development of a plating solution for solder bumps to form uniform bumps with few voids.

[0005] Traditionally, tin-lead solder bumps have been widely used, boasting excellent soldering properties, low melting points, and ease of plating solution management. However, with the implementation of the RoHS law, which regulates the use of hazardous substances including lead, the use of tin-lead solder bumps has been restricted. Furthermore, whiskers frequently occur during the reflow process to create solder balls after plating solder bumps with tin plating solutions, and research to improve this has been continuously requested. Therefore, tin-based alloys such as tin-silver, tin-bismuth, tin-copper, and tin-zinc are being explored as alternatives to tin-lead alloys.

[0006] Among these, tin-silver alloys have attracted attention due to their advantages such as low resistivity, stability, ability to achieve a wide melting point range, and elimination of alpha particle emission by pure Sn sources. However, in the production of tin-silver solder bumps, silver ions (Ag) in the plating solution + ) tends to be deposited as a substitute for a specific UBM (under bump metal) layer or tin anode, so silver ions (Ag) in the plating solution + ) concentration control becomes difficult. In addition, if the tin-silver solder bump does not have an appropriate alloy composition ratio, whiskers or nodules may occur, which may cause interconnection reliability problems within the flip chip.

[0007] Another issue in the manufacture of the above-mentioned tin-silver solder bumps is the limited plating current density. While high current density during plating accelerates the bump plating speed, positively impacting high throughput, it can also lead to negative effects, such as difficulty in surface control and the formation of voids within the bump due to loose plating caused by excessive hydrogen gas generation from the plating electrode.

[0008] Therefore, there is a need to develop a tin-silver plating solution that has a stable plating speed and stable silver content under high-speed plating conditions and a smooth plating surface.

[0106] [Reaction Formula 1]

[0107] Ag + + e → Ag E0= +0.8 V

[0108] Sn 2+ + 2e → Sn E0= -0.14 V

[0110] The above-deposited silver (Ag) can be finely separated silver (Ag) metal floating in the plating solution or can be spontaneously deposited on the substrate, the wall of the plating bath, and the electrode, which is silver ions (Ag) in the plating solution. + ) can make it difficult to control the concentration.

[0111] Therefore, by preventing the precipitation of silver (Ag) during plating using a tin-silver plating solution, stability is improved, and tin ions and silver ions (Ag) are +) to minimize the error range of the silver composition of the tin-silver solder, and the silver (Ag) complexing agent prevents the precipitation of silver to improve stability and to reduce the reduction potential difference between tin ions and silver ions (Ag + ) can play a role in minimizing the silver composition error range of tin-silver solder by reducing the reduction potential difference.

Specifically, stress may be generated due to the formation of the IMC, direct mechanical stress such as tension or compression, thermomechanical stress caused by a difference in thermal expansion coefficient, surface oxidation, etc., which may cause whisker growth.

[0125] In one embodiment of the present invention, the crystal grain refiner included in the organic additive can suppress whisker growth by reducing the internal stress of the tin plating layer through suppressing the growth of a copper and tin intermetallic compound by making the crystal grain size of the tin-silver plating film smaller.
