Description

Method for manufacturing glass substrate with through electrodes and composition for forming copper film

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a glass substrate with through electrodes and a composition for forming a copper film.

[0002] When electrically connecting a semiconductor element to a printed circuit board, an intermediate substrate (substrate for mounting semiconductor elements) called an interposer is used to match the connection pitch between the two. Although substrates made of organic materials have been widely used as interposers, they are prone to deformation due to humidity and heat, which can make it difficult to accommodate higher density mounting of semiconductor elements and finer wiring.

[0003] Therefore, glass interposers, which can reduce the effects of the above-mentioned environment and have excellent workability and insulation properties, have attracted attention. In response to this, various methods for forming through electrodes that connect the wiring on the front and back surfaces of the glass interposer in the thickness direction of the substrate have been investigated (see JP 2016-134392 A).

[0004] JP 2016-134392 A

[0005] The adhesion between the conductive metal material for forming the through electrode and the glass substrate is often insufficient. Therefore, including the above-mentioned formation method, a procedure of forming an adhesion layer followed by a seed layer on the glass wall of the through hole before forming the through electrode is generally adopted. To further improve production efficiency, one method is to omit the formation of either the adhesion layer or the seed layer, but this is not easy because the remaining layer must have the properties of both.

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a method for manufacturing a glass substrate with through electrodes, which is capable of forming a seed layer that also has the properties of an adhesive layer on the glass wall surface inside the through hole of the glass substrate, and a composition for forming a copper film.

[0007] As a result of extensive research into solving the above problems, the present inventors have found that the above object can be achieved by employing the following configuration, and have thus completed the present invention.

[0008] In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a glass substrate with through electrodes, comprising: a seed layer forming step of contacting a copper film forming composition directly with at least a glass wall surface within a through hole of a glass substrate having through holes to form a seed layer on the glass wall surface within the through hole; and a through electrode forming step of forming a through electrode in the through hole on which the seed layer has been formed, wherein the copper film forming composition contains a copper compound, a nitrogen-containing organic compound, and a solvent.

[0009] In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a composition for forming a copper film, which is used to form a seed layer directly on a glass wall surface in a through hole of a glass substrate having a through hole, and which contains a copper compound, a nitrogen-containing organic compound, and a solvent.

[0010] In this specification, the term "hydrocarbon group" includes linear hydrocarbon groups, alicyclic hydrocarbon groups, and aromatic hydrocarbon groups. This "hydrocarbon group" includes saturated hydrocarbon groups and unsaturated hydrocarbon groups. The term "linear hydrocarbon group" refers to a hydrocarbon group that does not contain a ring structure and is composed only of a linear structure, and includes both linear hydrocarbon groups and branched hydrocarbon groups. The term "alicyclic hydrocarbon group" refers to a hydrocarbon group that contains only an alicyclic structure as a ring structure and does not contain an aromatic ring structure, and includes both monocyclic alicyclic hydrocarbon groups and polycyclic alicyclic hydrocarbon groups (however, it does not have to be composed only of an alicyclic structure and may contain a linear structure as part of it). The term "aromatic hydrocarbon group" refers to a hydrocarbon group that contains an aromatic ring structure as a ring structure (however, it does not have to be composed only of an aromatic ring structure and may contain an alicyclic structure or a linear structure as part of it).

[0011] According to this method for manufacturing a glass substrate with through electrodes, a seed layer having the properties of an adhesion layer can be directly formed without forming an adhesion layer on the glass wall surface inside the through hole of the glass substrate, thereby significantly improving production efficiency while maintaining the adhesion of the through electrode. According to this copper film-forming composition, a seed layer having the properties of an adhesion layer can be directly formed on the glass wall surface inside the through hole. Therefore, these can contribute to improving the productivity of manufacturing glass substrates with through electrodes, which require high reliability and high functionality.

By setting the content of the copper compound within the above range, it is possible to improve the adhesion to the glass substrate and the conductivity of the obtained film.

[0031] [Nitrogen-containing organic compound] The copper film-forming composition contains a nitrogen-containing organic compound. This nitrogen-containing organic compound acts as a solubilizer or fluidizer for the copper compound, thereby further improving the adhesion of the copper film formed from the copper film-forming composition to a glass substrate. The nitrogen-containing organic compound may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0032] The nitrogen-containing organic compound is not particularly limited as long as it is an organic compound containing a nitrogen atom, but may be an organic compound containing a nitrogen atom such as —OH, —NH 2 and —NH— (hereinafter also referred to as “group (α)”). The unshared electron pair of group (α) in the nitrogen-containing organic compound enhances the interaction between the copper compound and the nitrogen-containing organic compound, thereby further improving the adhesion to the glass substrate and the conductivity of the resulting copper film.

[0039] Among these, the nitrogen-containing organic compound is preferably an aliphatic amine, and more preferably a hydroxyaliphatic amine (having —NH together with —OH). 2 and —NH—.) The hydroxyaliphatic amine structure has a chelating effect on the copper atom of the copper compound, which can promote solubilization of the copper compound and, in turn, fluidization of the copper film-forming composition, thereby further improving the adhesion to the glass substrate and the conductivity of the resulting copper film.

The upper limit of the content is preferably 5 mol, more preferably 4 mol, even more preferably 3 mol, and particularly preferably 2.5 mol, relative to 1 mol of the copper compound.

[0050] [Other Optional Components] The copper film-forming composition may contain other components besides the copper compound, the nitrogen-containing organic compound, and the solvent, such as an acid generator, a polymer additive, a surfactant, and the like.

[0051] <Method for manufacturing a composition for forming a copper film> The method for manufacturing a composition for forming a copper film includes a step of mixing a copper compound, a nitrogen-containing organic compound, and a solvent (hereinafter also referred to as a "mixing step"), and the copper compound is a copper salt or a copper complex.

[0052] In the production method, the copper compound, nitrogen-containing organic compound, and solvent that can be suitably used are the copper compound, nitrogen-containing organic compound, and solvent in the copper film-forming composition.

[0053] In the mixing step, the copper film-forming composition is prepared by mixing a copper compound, a nitrogen-containing organic compound, a solvent, and, if necessary, optional components in a predetermined ratio, and then filtering the resulting mixture through a filter having a pore size of 0.4 μm or less.

[0054] 1A and 1B , in this step, a copper film-forming composition is brought into direct contact with at least a glass wall surface W within a through hole H of a glass substrate 1 having a through hole H, to form a seed layer 2 on the glass wall surface W within the through hole H. Each of FIGS. 1A and 1B is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating one step of a method for manufacturing a glass substrate with through electrodes. The seed layer 2 may be formed not only within the through hole H, but also on part or all of the front and back surfaces of the glass substrate 1.

[0055] The contact of the copper film-forming composition with the glass wall surface in the through hole is achieved by coating the copper film-forming composition on the glass substrate, immersing the glass substrate 1 in the copper film-forming composition, spraying the copper film-forming composition on the glass substrate, or the like. The contact is preferably achieved by coating the copper film-forming composition on the glass substrate. This results in a film of the copper film-forming composition being formed on the glass wall surface in the through hole of the glass substrate having a through hole. The coating method is not particularly limited, and can be carried out by any appropriate method such as rotary coating, casting coating, or roll coating.

[0056] After coating on the substrate, a drying treatment may be carried out as necessary. A conventionally known method can be used as the drying treatment method. The temperature of the drying treatment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 50°C or higher and 100°C or lower. The time of the drying treatment is also not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 minute or higher and 30 minutes or lower.

[0057] The above contact may be repeated multiple times.

[0058] [Heating Step] The seed layer forming step preferably includes a heating step of heating the copper film forming composition at 150°C or higher and 600°C or lower after contact. The contact is thought to improve the conductivity and strength of the formed film (preferably a coating film). By heating the coating film, metal atoms (mainly copper atoms) in the coating film are reduced to zero valence, and the conductivity of the resulting seed layer is thought to improve.

[0059] The atmosphere in which the coating film is heated is preferably an atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of 30 ppm or less. The upper limit of the oxygen concentration is more preferably 25 ppm, even more preferably 20 ppm, and particularly preferably 10 ppm. The lower the oxygen concentration, the better, and although the lower limit is preferably 0 ppm, it may also be 0.01 ppm or 0.02 ppm. Heating in a low-oxygen-concentration atmosphere can prevent inadvertent oxidation of metal atoms in the coating film, thereby promoting reduction and improving the conductivity of the metal-containing film.

[0060] The heating step is preferably performed in an inert or non-oxidizing gas atmosphere, more preferably in an atmosphere containing nitrogen gas, because the reduction of metal atoms in the coating film can be promoted by using such an atmosphere in the heating step.

[0061] The atmosphere for the heating step may further contain hydrogen gas. When the coating film is heated in an atmosphere containing hydrogen gas, it is believed that the reduction of metal atoms in the coating film is further promoted, and the conductivity of the seed layer is further improved. When the copper compound contains cobalt or nickel as a metal atom, the reduction of these metal atoms can be further promoted by introducing hydrogen gas into the atmosphere for the heating step. Note that when the metal atom is only copper, hydrogen gas may or may not be introduced.

[0062] When the atmosphere in the heating step contains hydrogen gas, the lower limit of the hydrogen gas content in the atmosphere in the heating step is preferably 1000 ppm, more preferably 2000 ppm, even more preferably 5000 ppm, and particularly preferably 10000 ppm. The upper limit of the content is preferably 100000 ppm, more preferably 80000 ppm, even more preferably 60000 ppm, and particularly preferably 40000 ppm. By setting the hydrogen gas content within the above range, the reduction of metal atoms in the coating film can be further promoted, and the conductivity of the seed layer can be further improved.

[0063] The atmosphere in the heating step may further contain water vapor. The inclusion of water vapor can further promote the reduction of metal atoms in the coating film. Water vapor can be introduced by discharging a mixed gas containing nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas into ultrapure water and bubbling it.

[0064] The lower limit of the heating temperature is preferably 150°C, more preferably 200°C, and even more preferably 220°C. The upper limit of the temperature is preferably 600°C, more preferably 500°C, and even more preferably 450°C. The lower limit of the heating time is preferably 100 seconds, more preferably 200 seconds, and even more preferably 300 seconds. The upper limit of the heating time is preferably 2,000 seconds, more preferably 1,000 seconds, and even more preferably 800 seconds.

[0065] Before heating the coating film, it may be preheated at a temperature of 60°C or higher and 200°C or lower. The preheating temperature is usually lower than the temperature in the heating step. The lower limit of the preheating time is preferably 10 seconds, more preferably 30 seconds. The upper limit of the preheating time is preferably 300 seconds, more preferably 180 seconds. The atmosphere in which the coating film is heated may be an atmosphere containing nitrogen gas, an atmosphere containing hydrogen gas, or the air atmosphere.

[0066] In the copper film forming method, exposure and heating can be combined. The radiation used for exposure is appropriately selected from electromagnetic waves such as visible light, ultraviolet light, far ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays, and particle beams such as electron beams, molecular beams, and ion beams.

[0067] [Through electrode formation process] In this process, a through electrode is formed in the through hole in which the seed layer 2 is formed. As a form of forming the through electrode, a first embodiment in which the through electrode fills the through hole and a second embodiment in which the through electrode does not fill the through hole will be described below.

[0068] First Embodiment In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 1C, a through electrode 3A is formed by filling a conductive material into a through hole H in which a seed layer 2 has been formed. Fig. 1C is a cross-sectional view schematically showing one step of a method for manufacturing a glass substrate with a through electrode.

[0069] The conductive material is at least one of copper, silver, gold, nickel, platinum, palladium, ruthenium, tin, tin-silver, tin-silver-copper, tin-copper, tin-bismuth-tin-lead, at least one of compounds thereof, or at least one of a mixture of powder of these metals with a resin material.

[0070] Second Embodiment In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2A, through electrodes 3B are formed by plating the inside of through holes H in which seed layers 2 have been formed. The thickness of through electrodes 3B formed by plating is determined under conditions that do not block through holes H. Fig. 2A is a cross-sectional view that schematically shows another step in the method for manufacturing a glass substrate with through electrodes.

[0071] Next, as shown in FIG. 2B , the through holes H are filled with potting resin 4. Screen printing or filling with a dispenser can be used for filling. FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view schematically showing another step in the manufacturing method of a glass substrate with through electrodes. By filling the through holes H with potting resin 4, voids in the through holes H are eliminated, and peeling of the through electrodes 3B inside the through holes H can be prevented.

[0072] If a seed layer is formed on the surface of the glass substrate 1 or if the filling resin 4 protrudes above the through-hole H, these are removed by polishing. By smoothing the surface of the glass substrate 1 through this process, it is possible to improve reliability during the formation and mounting of a wiring layer (not shown).

[0073] 1A to 1C and 2A to 2B, other elements that may be used to form a mounting substrate, such as wiring layers, insulating layers, resists, lands, semiconductor chips, etc. These other elements and manufacturing procedures that use them can suitably employ known techniques.

[0074] Examples will be described below. Note that the examples shown below are representative examples of the present invention, and should not be construed as narrowing the scope of the present invention.

[0075] <Preparation of Copper Film-Forming Composition> [A] Copper compound, [B] Nitrogen-containing organic compound, and [C] Solvent used in the preparation of the copper film-forming composition are shown below.

[0076] [[A] Metal compound] A-1: ​​Copper (II) formate dihydrate A-2: Copper (II) acetate tetrahydrate A-3: Copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate A-4: Copper (II) nitrate trihydrate

[0078]

[0079] [[C] Solvent] C-1: Propylene glycol monoethyl ether C-2: Propylene glycol C-3: Butyl alcohol

[0080] [Example 1-1] Preparation of Copper Film-Forming Composition (J-1) [A] Copper compounds (A-1) (molar ratio 0.3) and (A-2) (molar ratio 0.7) and [C] solvent (C-1) were mixed in a ratio such that the mass concentration of the metal atoms in the copper compound (A) was 4 mass%. Next, [B] nitrogen-containing organic compound (B-6) (molar ratio 2) was mixed, and the resulting solution was filtered through a nylon syringe filter with a pore size of 0.2 μm to prepare a metal-containing film-forming composition (J-1).

[0081] [Examples 1-2 to 1-18 and Comparative Example 1-1] Preparation of copper film-forming compositions (J-2) to (J-18), (j-1) Copper film-forming compositions (J-2) to (J-18) of Examples 1-2 to 1-18 and copper film-forming composition (j-1) of Comparative Example 1-1 were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1-1, except that the types and amounts of each component shown in Table 1 below were used. In the tables, the symbols "-" indicate that the component in question was not used.

[0082]

[0083] <Formation of Copper Film> [Examples 2-1 to 2-18 and Comparative Example 2-1] Each of the copper film-forming compositions (J-1) to (J-18) and (j-1) prepared above was applied onto a glass substrate by a rotary coating method using a spin coater ("MS-B200" manufactured by Mikasa Co., Ltd.) at 1,500 rpm for 30 seconds. The resulting coated film was heated at 400°C for 10 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere using an RTA furnace ("QHC-P610CP" manufactured by ULVAC, Inc.) and then cooled at 23°C for 60 seconds, thereby obtaining a glass substrate with a copper film.

[0084] <Evaluation> The copper film formed above was evaluated by the following methods. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0085] [Adhesion to Glass Substrate] The adhesion between the copper film and the glass substrate was evaluated by a tape peel test using Scotch (registered trademark) #600 Tape, an adhesive tape manufactured by 3M. Since it is difficult to directly perform a peel test on the copper film formed in the through-holes of the glass substrate, the results of the peel test on the copper-film-coated glass substrate prepared as described above, in which a copper film was formed on the surface of the glass substrate, were used as an index of adhesion. Since glass is exposed on both the surface of the glass substrate and the wall surfaces of the through-holes, it can be determined that the degree of adhesion between the two is substantially equivalent. Specifically, in the tape peel test using the above-mentioned adhesive tape (a peel angle of 90° between the adhesive surface of the peeled adhesive tape (10 mm wide) and the substrate surface, a peel speed of 1 cm / s, and a peeled tape length of 5 cm), the following was evaluated: A if no copper film peeled from the glass substrate; B if no peeling but film roughness was observed; C if partial peeling was observed; and D if complete peeling. The evaluation results are summarized in Table 2.

[0087] From the results in Table 2, it can be seen that the copper film formed from the copper film-forming composition of the example had superior adhesion to the glass substrate compared to the copper film formed from the copper film-forming composition of the comparative example.

[0088] According to the method for manufacturing a glass substrate with through electrodes of the present invention, a seed layer having the properties of an adhesion layer can be directly formed on the glass wall surface inside the through hole of the glass substrate without forming an adhesion layer, thereby significantly improving production efficiency while maintaining the adhesion of the through electrode. According to the copper film-forming composition of the present invention, a seed layer having the properties of an adhesion layer can be directly formed on the glass wall surface inside the through hole. Therefore, these can contribute to improving the productivity of manufacturing glass substrates with through electrodes, which require high reliability and high functionality.
