[0004] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-49131
[0005] In recent years, miniaturization and precision of electronic components have advanced, and miniaturization of circuit members used in electronic components has advanced. Along with the miniaturization of the circuit member, the electrode size is also being miniaturized. Therefore, even when the electrode size is miniaturized, a technique that can sufficiently ensure the manufacturing yield is required.
[0006] The present disclosure has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a method for manufacturing a circuit member with solder bumps and a circuit member with solder bumps that can sufficiently ensure the manufacturing yield of the circuit member with solder bumps.
[0007] The gist of the present disclosure is as follows.
[0008] [1] A method for manufacturing a circuit member with solder bumps, comprising: a deposition step of depositing a solder layer in a region including the top surface of a conductive pillar on one surface of a substrate provided with a conductive pillar; a reduction step of reducing the solder layer in a reducing gas atmosphere to form a solder bump on the top surface of the pillar; a removal step of removing the excess solder layer remaining on the surface of the substrate after the reduction step; and a re-reduction step of re-reducing the solder bump on the top surface of the pillar in a reducing gas atmosphere to form an alloy layer of the constituent material of the pillar and the constituent material of the solder bump at the interface between the pillar and the solder bump.
[0009] In this method for manufacturing circuit components with solder bumps, solder bumps are formed on the top surface of the pillar by reducing the solder layer, and then an alloy layer is formed at the interface between the pillar and the solder bump by re-reducing the solder bump. The formation of this alloy layer improves the adhesion between the pillar and the solder bump. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the delamination of the solder bump from the pillar during subsequent cleaning processes, and to ensure a sufficient manufacturing yield for circuit components with solder bumps.
[0010] [2] A method for manufacturing a solder bump circuit member according to [1], comprising a pretreatment step of applying plasma treatment to the substrate on which the pillars are provided, prior to the deposition step. In this case, the plasma treatment can sufficiently reduce the wettability of the solder layer on one side of the substrate compared to the wettability of the solder layer on the pillars. As a result, the cohesiveness of the solder layer on one side of the substrate is increased in the reduction step, and the excess solder layer can be easily removed from one side of the substrate in the removal step.
[0011] [3] A method for manufacturing a circuit member with solder bumps according to [2], comprising a cleaning step of ultrasonically cleaning the substrate on which the solder bumps are formed using ultrapure water or methanol after the re-reduction step. This makes it possible to more reliably remove excess solder particles remaining on one surface of the substrate after the excess solder layer has been removed. Furthermore, as described above, the adhesion between the pillar and the solder bump is improved by the alloy layer, so even when ultrasonic cleaning is performed using ultrapure water or methanol, it is possible to effectively suppress the delamination of the solder bump from the pillar.
[0012] [4] A method for manufacturing a solder bump circuit member according to any one of [1] to [3], wherein the reduction step alternately creates a vacuum atmosphere and a reducing atmosphere. In this case, during the reduction step, the solder layer on one surface of the substrate can be separated into a solder portion that aggregates toward the pillar and a solder portion that aggregates without adhering toward the pillar. As a result, the shape of the excess solder layer after the reduction step becomes a mesh shape with openings around the pillar, and the excess solder layer can be easily removed from one surface of the substrate during the removal step.
[0013] [5] A method for manufacturing a solder bump circuit member according to any one of [1] to [4], wherein the reduction step is performed at a temperature of ±5°C from the melting point of the solder material constituting the solder layer. In this case, the fluidity of the solder layer in the reduction step can be kept low, and partial integration of the solder layer on one surface of the substrate is promoted. As a result, the excess solder layer after the reduction step becomes a unified sheet, and the excess solder layer can be easily removed from one surface of the substrate in the removal step.
[0014] [6] A circuit member with solder bumps, comprising a substrate, a conductive pillar provided on one surface of the substrate, and a solder bump provided on the top surface of the pillar, wherein an alloy layer made of the constituent material of the pillar and the constituent material of the solder bump is provided at the interface between the pillar and the solder bump. In this circuit member with solder bumps, the alloy layer at the interface between the pillar and the solder bump improves the adhesion between the pillar and the solder bump. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the delamination of the solder bump from the pillar and ensure a sufficient manufacturing yield.
[0015] [7] The solder bump circuit member according to [6], wherein the thickness of the alloy layer is 0.5% or more and 10% or less of the height of the solder bump from the top surface of the pillar. By making the thickness of the alloy layer 0.5% or more of the height of the solder bump, the adhesion between the pillar and the solder bump can be sufficiently improved. By making the thickness of the alloy layer 10% or less of the height of the solder bump, stress concentration on the alloy layer can be avoided.
[0016] According to this disclosure, a sufficient manufacturing yield for circuit components with solder bumps can be ensured.

[0018] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a method for manufacturing a circuit member with solder bumps and a preferred embodiment of the circuit member with solder bumps relating to one aspect of this disclosure will be described in detail.
[0019] In the following description, numerical ranges indicated using "~" represent a range that includes the numbers before and after "~" as the minimum and maximum values, respectively. In numerical ranges described in stages in this specification, the upper or lower limit of a numerical range in one stage may be replaced with the upper or lower limit of a numerical range in another stage.
[0020] Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a circuit member with solder bumps according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The circuit member with solder bumps 1 shown in Figure 1 is a component used, for example, in flip-chip mounting of circuit members. The circuit member with solder bumps 1 is electrically connected to another circuit member via solder bumps 4, forming a connection structure between circuit members. As shown in Figure 1, the circuit member with solder bumps 1 is composed of a substrate 2, pillars 3, and solder bumps 4.
[0021] The substrate 2 has a first surface (one side) 2a on which an electrode region R of a predetermined pattern is provided, and a second surface 2b opposite to the first surface 2a. Specific examples of the substrate 2 include chip components such as IC chips (semiconductor chips), resistor chips, capacitor chips, and driver ICs, as well as rigid package substrates. These substrates generally have a large number of circuit electrodes. Other examples of substrates having multiple electrodes on their surface include flexible tape substrates with metal wiring, flexible printed circuit boards, and wiring substrates such as glass substrates with indium tin oxide (ITO) deposited on them.
[0022] Examples of materials that make up the electrode region R include copper, copper / nickel, copper / nickel / gold, copper / nickel / palladium, copper / nickel / palladium / gold, copper / nickel / gold, copper / palladium, copper / palladium / gold, copper / tin, copper / silver, and indium tin oxide. The electrodes can be formed, for example, by electroless plating, electrolytic plating, sputtering, or etching of metal foil.
[0023] A resist layer 5 is provided on the surface of the substrate 2, excluding the electrode region R. Examples of materials for the resist layer 5 include silicon nitride (SiN). The thickness of the resist layer 5 from the first surface 2a of the substrate 2 is approximately the same as the thickness of the electrode region R from the first surface 2a of the substrate 2. The thickness of the resist layer 5 from the first surface 2a of the substrate 2 is preferably sufficient to withstand plasma treatment, and can be, for example, several tens of nanometers or more.
[0024] Pillar 3 is provided on the first surface 2a of the substrate 2, corresponding to the electrode region R. The constituent material of pillar 3 can be the same as that used for the electrode region R described above. In this embodiment, pillar 3 is made of copper (Cu). Pillar 3 is, for example, cylindrical. If the diameter of pillar 3 is r, the height of pillar 3 may be 1 / 4 × r or more, or 1 / 2 × r or more, from the viewpoint of ensuring the reliability of the connection structure and utilizing the interlayer sealing material.
[0025] Furthermore, if the diameter of pillar 3 is r, the pitch between adjacent pillars 3, 3 may be 1 / 2 × r or greater, and may be r or greater from the viewpoint of preventing bridging between adjacent pillars 3, 3 when forming solder bumps 4 (a phenomenon in which adjacent pillars 3, 3 become connected by solder). For example, the height of pillar 3 may be 1 μm to 200 μm, or 5 μm to 150 μm. The diameter of pillar 3 may be 0.4 μm to 200 μm, or 1 μm to 100 μm. The pitch between adjacent pillars 3, 3 may be 0.5 μm or greater, or 1 μm.
[0026] The solder bump 4 is composed of a deposit of solder fine particles and is provided on the top surface 3a of the pillar 3. The solder bump 4 is composed of a tin alloy. Examples of tin alloys include In-Sn alloy, In-Sn-Ag alloy, Sn-Au alloy, Sn-Bi alloy, Sn-Bi-Ag alloy, Sn-Ag-Cu alloy, and Sn-Cu alloy. In this embodiment, the solder bump 4 is formed of a Sn-Bi alloy.
[0027] The particle size of the solder microparticles may be 0.01 μm to 10 μm, or 0.05 μm to 5 μm. The height of the solder bump 4 from the top surface 3a of the pillar 3 may be 0.005 μm to 200 μm, or 0.01 μm to 150 μm. The particle size of the solder microparticles and the height of the solder bump 4 can be measured from images obtained, for example, by an optical microscope or electron microscope. Specific devices include flow-type particle image analyzers, microtrac, and Coulter counters.
[0028] An alloy layer 6 is provided at the interface between the pillar 3 and the solder bump 4, consisting of the constituent materials of the pillar 3 and the solder bump 4. In this embodiment, as described above, the pillar 3 is made of copper (Cu) and the solder bump 4 is made of a Sn-Bi alloy. Therefore, in this embodiment, the alloy layer at the interface between the pillar 3 and the solder bump 4 is made of a Cu-Sn alloy.
[0029] The thickness T of the alloy layer 6 is 0.5% to 10% of the height H of the solder bump 4 from the top surface 3a of the pillar 3. By setting the thickness T of the alloy layer 6 to 0.5% or more of the height H of the solder bump 4, the adhesion between the pillar 3 and the solder bump 4 can be sufficiently improved. By improving the adhesion between the pillar 3 and the solder bump 4, the joint strength between the pillar 3 and the solder bump 4 is increased, and peeling of the solder bump 4 from the pillar 3 can be suitably suppressed. In addition, by setting the thickness T of the alloy layer 6 to 10% or less of the height H of the solder bump 4, stress concentration on the alloy layer 6 can be avoided. This can suppress deformation and damage of the pillar 3 equipped with the solder bump 4. The thickness T of the alloy layer 6 may be 0.5% to 6% or 4% to 10% of the height H of the solder bump 4 from the top surface 3a of the pillar 3.
[0030] Figure 2 is a flowchart showing an example of a method for manufacturing a circuit component with solder bumps as shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 2, the method for manufacturing a circuit component with solder bumps according to this embodiment comprises a pretreatment step (step S01), a deposition step (step S02), a reduction step (step S03), a removal step (step S04), a re-reduction step (step S05), and a cleaning step (step S06).
[0031] The pretreatment step S01 is a step of applying plasma treatment to a substrate 2 on which pillars 3 are provided. In the pretreatment step S01, as shown in Figure 3, a substrate 2 is prepared in which pillars 3 are formed in the electrode region R of the first surface 2a, and a resist layer 5 is formed in the region of the first surface 2a excluding the electrode region R. Next, plasma P is irradiated onto this substrate 2. Plasma P is, for example, H 2 This is plasma. The processing time with plasma P is, for example, 5 to 30 minutes. Plasma processing makes it possible to sufficiently reduce the wettability of the solder layer 11 on one side of the substrate 2 (in this case, the resist layer 5) in the subsequent deposition process S02 compared to the wettability of the solder layer 11 on the pillar 3.
[0032] After plasma treatment, as shown in Figure 4(a), the substrate 2 is treated at a temperature of approximately 240°C under a vacuum atmosphere G1 to remove unwanted moisture from the surface of the substrate 2 (the surface of the resist layer 5) and the surface of the pillar 3. Also, as shown in Figure 4(b), the substrate 2 is treated with formic acid (CH4). 2 O 2 The copper (Cu) that makes up pillar 3 is reduced by treating it at a temperature of about 240°C under a reducing atmosphere G2. The vacuum level in the vacuum atmosphere G1 is, for example, 5.0 × 10⁻⁶. -2 The pressure can be set to approximately hPa. The processing time under the reducing atmosphere G2 can be, for example, about 10 minutes.
[0033] The deposition process S02 is a process of depositing a solder layer 11 on the first surface 2a of the substrate 2, in a region including the top surface 3a of the pillar 3. In the deposition process S02, for example, by sputtering, the solder layer 11 is deposited on the top surface 3a of the pillar 3 and on the first surface 2a of the substrate 2 excluding the region of the pillar 3 (i.e., on the resist layer 5), as shown in Figure 5. The solder layer 11 deposited in the region excluding the region of the pillar 3 becomes excess solder layer 12 that is removed in a subsequent removal process.
[0034] In the deposition process S02, for example, Sn42-Bi58 (a solder alloy containing 42% tin and 58% bismuth) can be used as the solder nanoparticles used to form the solder layer 11. For example, Ar gas can be used as the sputtering process gas. The particle size of the solder nanoparticles can be 0.01 μm to 10 μm or 0.05 μm to 5 μm, as described above. The pressure of the Ar gas can be, for example, 1 Pa. The power applied to the target material can be 70 W. The deposition process S02 is not limited to the sputtering method and may be carried out by other methods such as vapor deposition or ion plating.
[0035] The reduction step S03 is a step in which the solder layer 11 is reduced in a reducing gas atmosphere to form solder bumps 4 on the top surface 3a of the pillar 3. In the reduction step S03, the solder spreads to the top surface 3a of the pillar 3 by the reflow of solder fine particles, and as shown in Figure 6, spherical or nearly spherical solder bumps 4 are formed on the top surface 3a of the pillar 3.
[0036] In this embodiment, in the reduction step S03, a vacuum atmosphere G1 and a reducing atmosphere G2 are alternately formed. Here, the treatment is first carried out under the vacuum atmosphere G1, and then formic acid (CH 2 O 2 The process is carried out under a reducing atmosphere G2. Under a vacuum atmosphere G1, the process is carried out at a temperature of ±5°C from the melting point of the solder material constituting the solder layer 11, and at a processing tank pressure of 1 Pa or less. In this embodiment, since the melting point of the Sn-Bi alloy, which is the constituent material of the solder layer 11, is approximately 138°C, heating is carried out at 135°C, which is lower than the melting point of the solder layer 11, for 10 minutes under a reducing atmosphere G2. Similarly, under a reducing atmosphere G2, the process is carried out at a temperature of ±5°C from the melting point of the solder material constituting the solder layer 11. In this embodiment, heating is carried out at 135°C, which is lower than the melting point of the solder layer 11, for 10 minutes under a reducing atmosphere G2. In this embodiment, after repeating the process in vacuum atmosphere G1 and reducing atmosphere G2 three times, the temperature is raised to about 150°C and held for about 1 minute.
[0037] In the reduction process S03, as shown in Figure 6, by alternately forming a vacuum atmosphere G1 and a reducing atmosphere G2, the excess solder layer 12 on the first surface 2a of the substrate 2 (on the resist layer 5) can be separated into a solder portion 12a that aggregates toward the pillar 3 and a solder portion 12b that aggregates without adhering toward the pillar 3. The cohesive force of the solder portion 12a is thought to be due to alloying with copper, which is a constituent material of the pillar 3, and the difference in solder wettability between the pillar 3 and the resist layer 5.
[0038] In this embodiment, by the above-described pretreatment step S01, the wettability of the solder layer 11 in the resist layer 5 is sufficiently reduced with respect to the wettability of the solder layer 11 in the pillar 3. Further, by setting the temperature in the reduction atmosphere G2 in the reduction step S03 to a temperature within ±5°C of the melting point of the solder material constituting the solder layer 11, the fluidity of the surplus solder layer 12 in the reduction step S03 can be kept low. As a result, partial integration of the solder portions 12b with each other is promoted, and separation of the solder portion 12b from the solder portion 12a proceeds around each pillar 3, and as shown in Fig. 7(a), the shape of the surplus solder layer 12 after the reduction step S03 can be made into an integral sheet shape. In the example of Fig. 7(a), the surplus solder layer 12 has a mesh sheet shape in which the periphery of the pillar 3 is open in a plan view of the substrate 2.
[0039] The removal step S04 is a step of removing the surplus solder layer 12 remaining on the first surface 2a of the substrate 2 after the reduction step S03. In the removal step S04, as shown in Fig. 7(b), using a Kapton tape or tweezers or the like, the mesh sheet-shaped surplus solder layer 12 formed in the reduction step S03 is removed from the first surface 2a of the substrate 2. In the example of Fig. 7(b), the tweezers K are used to pinch the corner of the mesh sheet-shaped surplus solder layer 12, and the surplus solder layer 12 is peeled off from the first surface 2a of the substrate 2.
[0040] The re-reduction step S05 is a step of re-reducing the solder bump 4 on the top surface 3a of the pillar 3 in an atmosphere of a reducing gas. In this embodiment, heating is performed at 135°C, which is lower than the melting point of the solder layer 11, for 10 minutes in a reduction atmosphere G2 by formic acid (CH 2 O 2 ). Thereafter, the temperature is raised to about 220°C and held for about 5 seconds. Thereby, as shown in Fig. 8, an alloy layer 6 made of the constituent material of the pillar 3 and the constituent material of the solder bump 4 is formed at the interface between the pillar 3 and the solder bump 4. The thickness of the alloy layer 6 formed in the re-reduction step S05 can be controlled by the reaching temperature and the heating time.
[0041] The cleaning step S06 is a step of ultrasonically cleaning the substrate on which the solder bumps 4 are formed using ultrapure water or methanol after the re-reduction step S05. Here, for example, ultrasonic cleaning using ultrapure water is performed for about 10 seconds, and then ultrasonic cleaning using methanol is performed for about 20 seconds. By performing the cleaning step S06, the surplus solder particles 12c (see FIG. 8) remaining after the removal of the mesh sheet-shaped surplus solder layer 12 are removed from the first surface 2a of the substrate 2, and the circuit member 1 with solder bumps shown in FIG. 1 is obtained.
[0042] As described above, in this method for manufacturing a circuit member with solder bumps, after forming the solder bumps 4 on the top surface 3a of the pillar 3 by reducing the solder layer 11, an alloy layer 6 is formed at the interface between the pillar 3 and the solder bumps 4 by re-reducing the solder bumps 4. By forming this alloy layer 6, the adhesion between the pillar 3 and the solder bumps 4 can be improved. Therefore, in subsequent cleaning steps S06 and the like, it is possible to suppress the solder bumps 4 from peeling off from the pillar 3, and to sufficiently ensure the manufacturing yield of the circuit member 1 with solder bumps.
[0043] In the present embodiment, a pretreatment step S01 of performing plasma treatment on the substrate 2 provided with the pillars 3 is included before the deposition step S02. In this case, by the plasma treatment, the wettability of the solder layer 11 on the first surface 2a side of the substrate 2 can be sufficiently lowered with respect to the wettability of the solder layer 11 on the pillars 3. As a result, in the reduction step S03, the cohesiveness of the solder layer 11 on the first surface 2a of the substrate 2 is increased, and in the removal step S04, it becomes possible to easily remove the surplus solder layer 12 from the first surface 2a of the substrate 2.
[0044] In the present embodiment, a cleaning step S06 of ultrasonically cleaning the substrate 2 on which the solder bumps 4 are formed using ultrapure water or methanol is included after the re-reduction step S05. Thereby, the surplus solder particles 12c remaining on one surface of the substrate 2 after removing the surplus solder layer 12 can be more reliably removed. Also, as described above, as a result of the improvement in the adhesion between the pillar 3 and the solder bumps 4 by the alloy layer 6, even when performing ultrasonic cleaning using ultrapure water or methanol, it is possible to suitably suppress the solder bumps 4 from peeling off from the pillar 3.
[0045] In this embodiment, in the reduction step S03, a vacuum atmosphere G1 and a reducing atmosphere G2 are alternately formed. This allows the solder layer 11 on the first surface 2a of the substrate 2 to be separated in the reduction step S03 into a solder portion 12a that aggregates toward the pillar 3 and a solder portion 12b that aggregates without adhering toward the pillar 3. As a result, the excess solder layer 12 after the reduction step S03 takes the shape of a mesh opening around the pillar 3, and the excess solder layer 12 can be easily removed from the first surface 2a of the substrate 2 in the removal step S04.
[0046] In this embodiment, in the reduction step S03, reduction is performed at a temperature of ±5°C from the melting point of the solder material constituting the solder layer 11. This keeps the fluidity of the solder layer 11 low in the reduction step S03, promoting the partial integration of the solder layer 11 on the first surface 2a of the substrate 2. As a result, the excess solder layer 12 after the reduction step S03 becomes a unified sheet, and the excess solder layer 12 can be easily removed from the first surface 2a of the substrate 2 in the removal step S06.
[0047] In the solder bump-equipped circuit member 1 according to this embodiment, the alloy layer 6 at the interface between the pillar 3 and the solder bump 4 improves the adhesion between the pillar 3 and the solder bump 4. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the delamination of the solder bump 4 from the pillar 3 and ensure a sufficient manufacturing yield. In this embodiment, the thickness T of the alloy layer 6 is 0.5% to 10% of the height H of the solder bump 4 from the top surface 3a of the pillar 3. By setting the thickness T of the alloy layer 6 to 0.5% or more of the height H of the solder bump 4, the adhesion between the pillar 3 and the solder bump 4 can be sufficiently improved. By setting the thickness T of the alloy layer 6 to 10% or less of the height H of the solder bump 4, stress concentration on the alloy layer 6 can be avoided.
