Description

Electroplanting device and electro-plating method
Technical field
The present invention relates to electroplanting device and electro-plating method that semiconductor wafer etc. is electroplated by the surface of electric plating body (substrate); Relate in particular to the trickle wiring that is adapted at being arranged at semiconductor wafer surface and form plated film with groove or hole, protective layer peristome, perhaps form electroplanting device and the electro-plating method of the salient point (convex electrode) that is electrically connected with the electrode that encapsulates etc. on the surface of semiconductor wafer.
Background technology
For example at TAB(TapeAutomated Bonding, the automatic combination of winding) or in the flip-chip, just extensively carry out at present forming gold, copper, scolding tin, nickel or the convex connection electrode (salient point) that these materials are multilayer laminated in the predetermined place (electrode) of the semiconductor chip surface that has formed wiring, be electrically connected with encapsulated electrode or TAB electrode by this salient point.As the method that forms this salient point the whole bag of tricks such as electrochemical plating, vapour deposition method, print process, rolling salient point (ボ one Le バ Application プ) method are arranged, but along with increase, the spacing of semi-conductor chip I/O quantity attenuates, mostly use can granular, the more stable electrochemical plating of performance.
If the employing electrochemical plating can easily obtain highly purified metallic membrane (plated film), and not only the film forming speed of metallic membrane is fast, can also control with comparalive ease the thickness of metallic membrane.And, forming toward semiconductor wafer in the process of metallic membrane, in order to pursue highdensity installation, high-performance and high yield rate, also be strict with the homogeneity of thickness in the face.Electroplate if adopt, even by distribution and the Potential distribution that makes metal ion feed speed in the electroplate liquid, expectation can obtain the metallic membrane of thickness good uniformity in the face.
As the electroplanting device that has adopted so-called impregnation method, we know that inside has the plating tank of preserving electroplate liquid, sealed the neighboring remains on the substrate (by electric plating body) on the substrate holder and remains on anode on the anode retainer with having disposed toward each other and orthogonally watertightness in the inside of plating tank, between anode and substrate, disposed by central authorities and formed the adjustment plate (regulation plate) that the dielectric medium of medium pore consists of, and disposed the device (reference example such as patent documentation 1) that stirs the agitator of electroplate liquid between plate and the substrate adjusting.
If the electroplanting device that adopts patent documentation 1 to put down in writing, electroplate liquid is accommodated in the plating tank, anode, substrate and adjustment plate are impregnated in the electroplate liquid, by wire anodic bonding is connected on the negative electrode of electroplating power supply to the anode of electroplating power supply, with substrate simultaneously, between anode and substrate, apply predetermined electroplating voltage, at the surperficial precipitating metal of substrate, form metallic membrane (plated film) by like this.And when electroplating, stir electroplate liquid with being configured in the agitator of adjusting between plate and the substrate, by like this uniform ion ground of q.s being offered substrate, the more uniform metallic membrane of formation thickness.
The invention of patent documentation 1 record is at anode and be configured in and dispose the adjustment plate that has the electroplate liquid stream in cylinder inside between the locational substrate relative with this anode, adjust plate with this and regulate Potential distribution in plating tank, by being adjusted in like this film thickness distribution of the metallic membrane that substrate surface forms.
And proposed by shortening the adjustment plate that disposes in the electroplate liquid that is immersed in the plating tank and the distance between the material to be plated (by electric plating body) as far as possible, make the Potential distribution on whole surface of material to be plated more even, form the scheme (reference example such as patent documentation 2) of the electroplanting device of the more uniform metallic membrane of thickness.

As the problem points of electroplating with the condition of high current density, the present inventor finds, if electroplate with the condition of high current density with in the past general electroplanting device and operation method, then electroplate the salient point that forms and have the end shape unevenness, become the tendency of sharp convex form.Although present WL-CSP(Wafer Level-Chip Size Package just under development, Wafer-level Chip Scale Package) technology is being used resin-coated salient point after electroplating the formation salient point, if but the top of salient point is sharp convex form, must pile up excessive resin for the whole salient point of coating, cost is increased.And, when piling up resin, in order to make surface smoothing, with the scraper that is called as scraper plate resin surface is pushed away flat, but if the local protruding high salient point that comes to a point, the problem that exists salient point to collapse when pushing away flat resin surface with scraper (squeegee).And, after with resin-coated salient point, by mechanical polishing resin and salient point are cut predetermined thickness, but the too much resin of the amount of accumulation of also must pruning this moment increases cost.
Proposed with the speed drive of 5cm/sec~20cm/sec stir in a pair of stirring rod of electroplate liquid one, with another root of speed drive of 25cm/sec~70cm/sec, electroplate electroplanting device and the electro-plating method (reference example such as patent documentation 3) of the printed circuit board (PCB) with through hole.But, even on one side on one side with such speed respectively mobile a pair of stirring rod electroplate, can not form the smooth salient point of end shape.

Example of the present invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.In addition, following examples narrations is to as being carried out copper-plated example by the substrate surface of electric plating body.In following each example, identical or suitable parts add identical Reference numeral, and the repetitive description thereof will be omitted.
Fig. 1 is the vertical profile front view of the electroplanting device of expression the invention process form.As shown in Figure 1, electroplanting device has the plating tank 10 that electroplate liquid Q is remained on inside, and the periphery above plating tank 10 has the overflow groove 12 of catching the electroplate liquid Q that overflows from the edge of plating tank 10.End with electroplate liquid feed path 16 of pump 14 is connected to the bottom of overflow groove 12, and the other end of electroplate liquid feed path 16 is connected on the electroplate liquid supplying opening 18 that is arranged on plating tank 10 bottoms.Thus, the electroplate liquid Q that accumulates in the overflow groove 12 is back in the plating tank 10 along with the driving of pump 14.Be provided with the constant temperature unit 20 of the temperature of regulating electroplate liquid Q and filter the strainer 22 that the foreign matter of electroplate liquid is removed being positioned at pump 14 downstreams one side in the electroplate liquid feed path 16.
Possess loading and unloading in the electroplanting device and freely keep substrate (by electric plating body) W, the substrate holder 24 in the electroplate liquid Q that substrate W is become under the state of vertical substrate W is impregnated in the plating tank 10.On the position relative with kept, be impregnated into substrate W among the electroplate liquid Q by the substrate holder 24 in the plating tank 10, dispose anode 26, this anode 26 is maintained on the anode retainer 28, is impregnated among the electroplate liquid Q.In this example, use phosphorous copper as anode 26.Substrate W and anode 26 are electrically connected by electroplating power supply 30, form plated film (copper film) by current flowing between substrate W and anode 26 on the surface of substrate W.
Keeping being impregnated between the substrate W and anode 26 that disposes among the electroplate liquid Q with substrate holder 24, disposing and the abreast to-and-fro movement of surface of substrate W, the agitator 32 of stirring electroplate liquid Q.So, by stirring electroplate liquid Q with agitator 32, can enough cupric ions be provided for equably the surface of substrate W.Distance between agitator 32 and the substrate W is preferably at 5~11mm.And, between agitator 32 and the anode 26, dispose to make the adjustment plate (regulation plate) 34 that current potential is more evenly distributed on the face of whole substrate W is made of dielectric medium.
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, agitator 32 usefulness have the certain thickness rectangular plate shape material formation that thickness of slab t is 3~5mm, by a plurality of slotted hole 32a are set abreast in inside, have a plurality of grid 32b of section that extend along vertical.The material of agitator 32 is for for example implementing the material of teflon (registered trademark) coating at titanium.The length L of the vertical direction of agitator 32 1Size L with the length direction of slotted hole 32a 2Be set as more much larger than the size of the vertical direction of substrate W.And the horizontal size that the horizontal length H of agitator 32 is set to the Length Ratio substrate W that is added together with agitator 32 reciprocating amplitudes (stroke St) is fully large.
In order to make the 32b of grid section between slotted hole 32a and the slotted hole 32a stir expeditiously electroplate liquid, make electroplate liquid expeditiously by slotted hole 32a, the width of slotted hole 32a and quantity preferably determine the 32b of grid section in the 32b of grid section has the scope of necessary rigidity as far as possible carefully.And, for near agitator 32 reciprocating two ends, the speed that moves of agitator 32 slows down or moment reduces the impact that forms the shade (not being subjected to impact or the little place of electric field influence of electric field) of electric field at substrate W when stopping, and makes the 32b of grid section of agitator 32 attenuate also extremely important.
Present embodiment is vertically offered slotted hole 32a as shown in Figure 3, and the cross section that makes each 32b of grid section is rectangle.Both can be as shown in Fig. 4 (a) implement chamfering at four turnings of the cross section of the 32b of grid section, perhaps also can be as shown in Fig. 4 (b) at the 32b of grid section the cross section that angle makes the 32b of grid section being set is parallelogram.
Adjust plate 34 near substrate W in order to make, the thickness of agitator 32 (thickness of slab) t is preferably at 3~5mm.Be set as 4mm in the present embodiment.Confirming, is 1 or 2mm if make thickness (thickness of slab) t of agitator 32, does not then have enough intensity.And, by making the even thickness of agitator 32, can prevent that electroplate liquid from splashing or electroplate liquid rocks significantly.
Fig. 5 represents driving mechanism and the plating tank 10 of agitator 32.The holder 36 that agitator 32 usefulness are fixed on agitator 32 upper ends is fixed on the axle 38 of along continuous straight runs extension, and axle 38 remains on the axle maintaining part 40 and can horizontally slip.The end of axle 38 is connected in the stirrer-driven section 42 that makes to the left and right straight reciprocating motion of agitator 32, and stirrer-driven section 42 usefulness crank mechanisms (not having expression among the figure) become the rotation transformation of electric motor 44 straight reciprocating motion of axle 38.Present embodiment has the control part 46 of the speed that the rotating speed control agitator 32 by the electric motor 44 of control stirrer-driven section 42 moves.In addition, the mechanism of stirrer-driven section 42 is not limited to crank mechanism, also can be by ball-screw the rotation transformation of servosystem is become axle straight reciprocating motion mechanism or use linear motor to make the mechanism of axle straight reciprocating motion.
Present embodiment has moved at agitator 32 on the position of stroke end, the left and right sides of stroke St as shown in Figure 6, and the position of the 32b of grid section of agitator 32 is not overlapped each other.Can reduce thus agitator 32 forms the electric field shade at substrate W impact.
It is 70~100cm/sec that present embodiment makes the mean value of agitator 32 translational speed absolute values, with than in the past high speed to-and-fro movement.This is based on the following fact: the inventor confirms by experiment, is 5ASD(A/dm than in the past when making current density 2) during high 8ASD, by with agitator to stir than in the past high speed, can form the smooth salient point of end shape.That is the mean value that the agitator that, can form the smooth salient point of end shape stirs the translational speed absolute value is 70~100cm/sec.In the present embodiment, with crank mechanism rotatablely moving of electric motor 44 is transformed into the straight reciprocating motion of agitator 32, when electric motor 44 rotated a circle, agitator 32 made a round trip with the amplitude (stroke St) of 10cm.In the present embodiment, in order also can to form best salient point in the situation that makes electric motor 44 with 250rpm rotation, the mean value of the stirring translational speed absolute value that agitator 32 is the most appropriate is 83cm/sec.
The profile of adjustment plate 34 shown in Figure 1 is illustrated among Fig. 7.Adjust plate 34 and consisted of by cylindrical portion 50 and rectangular flange section 52, use dielectric medium vinylchlorid as material.Adjustment plate 34 is arranged in the plating tank 10 with making close substrate one side in the top of cylindrical portion 50, flange part 52 close anode one sides.Cylindrical portion 50 has the size of the opening that can fully limit electric field expansion and along the length in axle center.In the present embodiment, cylindrical portion 50 is 20mm along the length in axle center.Flange part 52 is arranged in the plating tank 10 with can shielding the electric field that forms between anode 26 and the substrate W.Among Fig. 1, adjust the cylindrical portion 50 of plate 34 and the distance between the substrate W and be preferably 8~25mm, 12~18mm is better.
In addition, although present embodiment uses the parts that flange part 52 has been installed in the end of cylindrical portion 50 as adjusting plate 34 as shown in FIG. 7, but also can make as shown in FIG. 8 cylindrical portion 50 extend to anode one side, make a part of 50a anode one of cylindrical portion 50 side-prominent.
As shown in Figure 1, substrate W keeps with substrate holder 24.Substrate holder 24 adopts from the peripheral position of substrate W to the structure of the substrate W power supply of this band such as substrate conductive membrane such as copper sputtered films of bismuth.The conducting contact of substrate holder 24 is the multiple contact structure, and the aggregate value of contact width accounts for more than 60% of girth on the substrate that can obtain the contact.And the contact is uniformly-spaced distributed, and will be arranged in equal distance between each contact.
In the present embodiment, owing to make the high-speed mobile of agitator 32 take the mean value of for example absolute value as 70~100cm/sec, therefore, make substrate holder 24 bear backward pressure because electroplate liquid flows, to produce the such new problem of state that substrate holder 24 waves or substrate holder 24 become more tilt than original angle.When substrate holder 24 waved or tilts, the distribution of current potential became inhomogeneous, had influence on the homogeneity of plated film.
As shown in Figure 9, when substrate holder 24 is set to plating tank 10 when interior, controlling retainer handle part 60 with the transport unit that does not represent among the figure (transporter) slings from the top, outwards outstanding maintenance boom 64 hangs on the retainer support 62 that is fixed in the plating tank 10, is suspending in midair to be held.
Figure 10 is for keeping the enlarged view of boom 64 peripheries, and Figure 11 is for representing the sectional view of the state that maintenance boom 64 contacts with retainer support 62, and Figure 12 is the right view of Figure 11.To shown in Figure 12, be provided with arm side contact 66 at the face relative with retainer support 62 that keeps boom 64 such as Figure 10, the electrical wiring that does not represent among 66 usefulness the figure of this arm side contact is electrically connected with the cathode contact of powering to substrate W.And, on the face relative with keeping boom 64 of retainer support 62, being provided with support one side contact 68, the external power source that does not have to represent among this support one side contact 68 and the figure is electrically connected.So when being bearing in substrate holder 24 suspentions in the plating tank 10, arm side contact 66 contacts with support one side contact 68, the closing of contact, thus, external power source and cathode contact electrically conducting can apply cathode voltage to cathode contact.Generally speaking, keep about arm side contact 66 and support one side contact 68 are arranged on some in boom 64 and the left and right sides retainer support 62.
Be provided with the arm side magnet 70 as fixed mechanism on the face relative with retainer support 62 that keeps boom 64, on the face relative with keeping boom 64 of retainer support 62, also be provided with the support one side magnet 72 as fixed mechanism.For example use neodium magnet as magnet 70,72.Thus, when supporting to substrate holder 24 suspentions in the plating tank 10, arm side magnet 70 contacts with each other attraction with support one side magnet 72, by retainer support 62 with keep boom 64 that substrate holder 24 is fixed in the plating tank 10 more firmly, can prevent from that electroplate liquid from flowing substrate holder 24 is waved or to tilt.Arm side magnet 70 and support one side magnet 72 operated by rotary motion are two sides about maintenance boom 64 and retainer support 62.
In addition, the relative position of substrate holder 24 and plating tank 10 is determined by the carrying of transport unit, but also can be as at retainer support 62 peristome 62a gradient on groove shape, the turning being set as shown in Figure 13, with the maintenance boom 64 of this peristome 62a guiding substrate holder 24.Determine agitator 32 with respect to the position of plating tank 10 even at retainer support 62 peristome (guide portion) 62a is set like this, but for location and the carrying of substrate holder 24, also need to have the play of some sizes.When swinging in the scope of substrate holder 24 at this play or tilting, the danger of leaving intermittently that contacts of arm side contact 66 and support one side contact 68, but near contact 66,68, can make arm side contact 66 firm with contacting of support one side contact 68 in the plating tank 10 by with magnet 70,72 substrate holder 24 being bearing in securely.And can suppress the contact 66 that the friction between the contact 66,68 causes, 68 wearing and tearing, improve contact 66,68 weather resistance.
In arm side magnet 70 and the support one side magnet 72 one also can not be magnet but magnetic substance material.And, also can prevent from contacting the damage that causes with the surface that magneticsubstance covers magnet.And, can also with magneticsubstance by the surface of magnet be enclosed in with exposing magnet around, a part that makes magneticsubstance is outstanding from the surface of magnet, strengthens magnetic force.
As shown in Figure 1, be provided with division plate 80 and shielding slab 82 in the bottom of plating tank 10.Provide the electroplate liquid Q that comes to flow through equably whole of substrate W in order to make from the electroplate liquid supplying opening 18 that is arranged on plating tank 10 bottoms, be provided with the space that electroplate liquid is disperseed in the bottom of plating tank 10, the division plate 80 that inside has a plurality of electroplate liquid through holes flatly is configured in this space, thus, the inside of plating tank 10 is divided into top substrate processing chamber 84 and following electroplate liquid dispersing chamber 86.
Figure 14 represents the vertical view of division plate 80.The shape of the division plate 80 roughly shape with plating tank 10 inboards is identical, is provided with the electroplate liquid through hole 80a that is made of a plurality of apertures at whole.With division plate 80 plating tank 10 is divided into substrate processing chamber 84 and electroplate liquid dispersing chamber 86, by a plurality of electroplate liquid through hole 80a that supply electroplate liquid to flow through are set at division plate 80, electroplate liquid Q forms uniform liquid stream to substrate W.If the diameter of a plurality of electroplate liquid through hole 80a that arrange on the division plate 80 is large, then electric field leaks into substrate W one side from anode 26 through electroplate liquid dispersing chamber 86, affect the homogeneity of the upper plated film that forms of substrate W, therefore making in the present embodiment the diameter of electroplate liquid through hole 80a is φ 2.5mm.
Although whole at division plate 80 arranges electroplate liquid through hole 80a in the present embodiment, but electroplate liquid through hole 80a need to be set whole of division plate 80, also can be for example as adjusting the position A of plate 34 as the border take configuration as shown in Figure 15, only distribute in substrate one side electroplate liquid through hole 80a is set, take the configuration anode 26 position B as the border, only in a side opposite with substrate (rear of anode) electroplate liquid through hole 80a is set.By adopting division plate shown in Figure 15 80, not only can prevent more effectively that electric field from leaking into substrate W one side from anode 26 through electroplate liquid dispersing chamber 86, and by the rear at anode 26 electroplate liquid through hole 80a is set also, especially when from plating tank 10, discharging electroplate liquid Q, can positively carry out discharge opeing.
As shown in figure 16, division plate 80 overlaps on the division plate support 90 that arranges on the side plate 10a of plating tank 10 and is horizontally disposed with, but by between division plate 80 and division plate support 90, sealing member 92 being set, division plate 80 can being close to and being set on the division plate support 90.
Even division plate 80 is set, electric field also might leak into substrate W one side through electroplate liquid dispersing chamber 86 from anode 26, affects the homogeneity of the upper plated film that forms of substrate W.Therefore, shielding slab 82 along from vertical to downward-extension is installed in the present embodiment below division plate 80.So, by shielding slab 82 is set, not only can prevent effectively that electric field from leaking into substrate W one side from anode 26 through electroplate liquid dispersing chamber 86, and can make dispersion in the electroplate liquid dispersing chamber 86 of electroplate liquid Q in plating tank 10, guarantee to flow to equably the substrate processing chamber 84 in the plating tank 10.That is, as shown in figure 17, shielding slab 82 is installed on the position directly over the electroplate liquid supplying opening 18, division plate 80 below, and produce gap S between the bottom of plating tank 10.In order to prevent that electric field from leaking, S is preferably as far as possible little in this gap.
In addition, also can as shown in figure 18 shielding slab 82 be contacted with the bottom of plating tank 10, at shielding slab 82 semicircle peristome 82a is set, guarantee the stream of electroplate liquid.In the present embodiment, leak in order to prevent electric field, peristome 82a is preferably as far as possible little.Shielding slab 82 be configured in division plate 80 do not have electroplate liquid through hole 80a below, for example be configured in division plate 80 with the flange part 52 of adjusting plate 34 under corresponding below.
In addition, although in the present embodiment shielding slab 82 is arranged on electroplate liquid supplying opening 18 directly over, be not must be arranged on electroplate liquid supplying opening 18 directly over, and shielding slab 82 also can be multi-disc.
In electroplanting device shown in Figure 1, the substrate W in the plating tank 10, anode 26, the position relationship of adjusting between plate 34 and the agitator 32 affect the upward homogeneity of the plated film of formation of substrate W.In the present embodiment, make the center of center, anode 26 of substrate W and the axle center of adjusting the cylindrical portion 50 of plate 34 roughly arrange in a line ground placement substrate W, anode 26 and adjust plate 34.Anode 26 is 90mm with the pole distance of substrate W in the present embodiment, but anode 26 can arrange in pole distance is the scope of 60~95mm.Top and the distance between the substrate W of substrate W one side of the cylindrical portion 50 of adjustment plate 34 are 15mm in the present embodiment, but because the length of cylindrical portion 50 is 20mm, flange part 52 and the distance between the substrate W of therefore adjusting plate 34 are 35mm.
In order to prevent leaking the gap of electric field between division plate 80 and flange part 52, as shown in figure 19, be provided with in the lower end of anode one side of the flange part 52 of adjusting plate 34 by for example sheet rubber consist of, the electric field shielding parts 94 of lower end and division plate 80 Elastic Contact.Thus, can prevent from leaking the gap of electric field between division plate 80 and flange part 52.In addition, also can be close to by the lower surface with flange part 52 upper surface of division plate 80, make flange part 52 self double as the electric field shielding parts.
The distance of adjusting between plate 34 and the substrate W can be installed with adjusting adjust plate 34.Namely as shown in figure 20, at the side plate 10a of plating tank 10 the fixing slit plate 96 of using of the adjustment plate with many slit 96a that vertically extend with predetermined spacing is set, the end of adjusting flange part 52 1 sides of plate 34 is inserted adjust among the fixing arbitrarily slit 96a of slit plate 96 of using of plate.At this moment, to adjust with slotted hole 96b and fixing screw 98 that plate is fixing to be installed on the side plate 10a with slit plate 96, the corresponding distance fine regulation that will adjust between plate 34 and the substrate W of kind by the substrate that can process with electroplanting device like this arrives only position.
And, being preferably in the fixing electric field shielding parts 100 that consisted of by sheet rubber with near the setting of slit plate 96 of adjustment plate of flange part 52, thus, can prevent from anode 26 through the gap of flange parts 52 peripheries to substrate W formation electric field.In addition, these electric field shielding parts 100 also can only be arranged on and adjust fixing anode one side with slit plate 96 of plate.
In electroplanting device of the present invention, the representative of the salient point that forms at substrate is of a size of salient point diameter 150 μ m, target coating film thickness 110 μ m.In order to form such salient point, wish to use the electroplate liquid of concentration of copper sulfate more than 150g/L as electroplate liquid.As electroplate liquid, can enumerate the solution that for example in the end of following composition liquid, includes organic additive component of polymer (inhibitor), carrier components (accelerator) and levelling agent composition (inhibitor).
The composition of end liquid:
Cupric sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO 45H 2O) 200g/L
Sulfuric acid (H 2SO 4) 100g/L
Chlorine (Cl) 60mg/L
In the plating that in the past forms salient point, current density is generally 3~5ASD, and in the plating of the invention process form, current density is for example 8ASD.But the electroplanting device of the invention process form and electro-plating method can be used the current density of 14ASD.The condition of current density only otherwise agreement is 8ASD just in following examples.
Then, the copper plating treatment activity list is shown among Figure 21 in the formation salient point process.At first, substrate is impregnated in the pure water, carries out for example pre-washing of 10 minutes, then substrate is impregnated in the sulfuric acid of 5 volume % than (vol%), carry out for example pre-treatment of 1 minutes.Clean the washing of substrate carried out 2 times with for example 30 second time with pure water.Then, after for example being impregnated into substrate in the electroplate liquid, keep 1 minutes without switch-on regime, then switch on substrate carried out copper plating treatment.Then clean substrate with pure water, then make drying substrates with for example nitrogen gas stream.After the electroplating processes operation, with special-purpose protective layer (レ ジ ス ト) stripping liquid protective layer is peeled off, then wash, drying treatment.
Figure 22 and Figure 23 represent to change the difference of electroplating the salient point shape that forms when agitator stirs the speed of electroplate liquid.Current density is 8ASD.Situation when Figure 22 represents that mean value that agitator stirs the translational speed absolute value is electroplated in the past general speed 20cm/sec, the situation when Figure 23 represents that mean value that agitator stirs the translational speed absolute value is about 83cm/sec and electroplates.As shown in figure 22, to the situation of 8ASD, stir salient point that translational speed form, the height h of its top lug boss with in the past general low agitator at the current density height 1Be 30 μ m, but as shown in figure 23, stir the mean value of translational speed absolute value take agitator and be the height h of its top lug boss of salient point of the so high agitator translational speed formation of about 83cm/sec 2Be suppressed to 15 μ m.
When Figure 24 to Figure 28 represents to use electroplanting device shown in Figure 1 basically, stir translational speed to have changed agitator and agitator condition forms salient point on the surface of substrate (wafer), the microphotograph of salient point.Figure 24 is the agitator of the 2mm situation when electroplating for the mean value that agitator is stirred the translational speed absolute value is set as 40cm/sec, used thickness, can find defective at whole salient point that forms of substrate.Figure 25 is the agitator of the 4mm situation when electroplating for the mean value that agitator is stirred the translational speed absolute value is set as 40cm/sec, used thickness, has defective at whole salient point that forms of substrate, and the shape of salient point becomes and twists around.From this Figure 24 and Figure 25 as can be known, the thickness that only increases agitator is inadequate.
Figure 26 is the agitator of the 4mm situation when electroplating for the mean value that agitator is stirred the translational speed absolute value is set as 67cm/sec, used thickness, can find defective at whole salient point that forms of substrate.Figure 27 is the agitator of the 4mm situation when electroplating for the mean value that agitator is stirred the translational speed absolute value is set as 83cm/sec, used thickness, forms whole of substrate not have defective good salient point.Its reason can think that when the agitator stirring velocity was low, the supply of cupric ion did not catch up with during high current density, produces the salient point defective; When agitator stirs translational speed when fast, cupric ion in liberal supply can form and not have defective salient point.In addition, under the condition of same high current density, be that the agitator of 3mm is when electroplating when the mean value that agitator is stirred the translational speed absolute value is set as 83cm/sec, used thickness, as shown in figure 28, salient point is not found defective on whole of substrate, but compare when being 4mm with the thickness of agitator, the angle of salient point has become circle.
The altitude distribution of the salient point that forms on (Figure 30) substrate when (Figure 29) and the plating tank that is provided with shielding slab below the division plate of plating tank were electroplated when Figure 29 and Figure 30 represent not arrange shielding slab below the division plate of plating tank plating tank was electroplated.The unit of numerical value is μ m.As shown in figure 29, when not having shielding slab, near the substrate edges of direction at the bottom of the plating tank of substrate, the thickness in the Thickness Ratio centre of plated film is thick, but as shown in figure 30, by inserting shielding slab, at the bottom of the plating tank near the direction upper substrate edge thickness of plated film be suppressed to thickness with the centre equal extent.
Figure 31 and Figure 32 for expression when change simultaneously agitator stir translational speed, adjust the shape of plate and adjust between plate and the substrate apart from the time salient point that forms at substrate the inhomogeneity graphic representation of height in electroplating surface.In Figure 31 and Figure 32, as shown in figure 33, with mutually perpendicular axle on the plane as X-axis and Y-axis.Figure 31 is set as 20cm/sec for the mean value that agitator is stirred the translational speed absolute value, use do not have cylindrical portion, thickness is as 5mm, have the flat board of an opening to adjust plate at central part, making the distance of adjusting between plate and the substrate is the situation of 35mm when electroplating, and the height of salient point (plated film) has the tendency that becomes the W type.Figure 32 uses adjustment plate shown in Figure 7 for the mean value that agitator is stirred the translational speed absolute value is set as 83cm/sec, and making distance between substrate and the cylindrical portion top is the situation of 15mm when electroplating.At this moment, aspect ratio Figure 31's of salient point (plated film) is smooth, has improved the homogeneity in the electroplating surface.
Figure 34 represents the electroplanting device of other examples of the present invention.The electroplanting device of present embodiment uses from the lower surface of division plate 80 and extends downward vertically, the lower surface arrives the shielding slab 82 of the diapire of plating tank 10, thus, the electroplate liquid dispersing chamber 86 complete conductively-closed plates 82 that form below of division plate 80 are separated into anode side liquid dispersion chamber 110 and cathode side liquid dispersion chamber 112.The lower surface of this shielding slab 82 is fixed on the diapire of plating tank 10 by waiting such as welding.
Electroplate liquid feed path 16 is provided with valve 114 and under meter 116 in the past between constant temperature unit 20 and strainer 22.Electroplate liquid feed path 16 is branched off into 2 individual path 16a, 16b in the downstream of strainer 22 side, and each individual path 16a, 16b are connected with cathode side liquid dispersion chamber with anode side liquid dispersion chamber 110 respectively and are connected.Be respectively arranged with valve 118a, 118b among each individual path 16a, 16b.
So, by with shielding slab 82 electroplate liquid dispersing chamber 86 being separated into anode side liquid dispersion chamber 110 and cathode side liquid dispersion chamber 112 fully, can prevent positively that the equipotential line that anode 26 produces from leaking into negative electrode (substrate) side through the electroplate liquid in the electroplate liquid dispersing chamber 86, can electroplate liquid is provided for separately anode side liquid dispersion chamber 110 and cathode side liquid dispersion chamber 112 by electroplate liquid feed path 16.
Figure 35 and Figure 36 represent other driving mechanisms and the plating tank 10 of agitator 32.In the present embodiment, agitator 32 is installed to the upper end on the agitator compressing member 120.The axle 38 that extends from stirrer-driven section 42 is divided into respectively by these 3 of left and right end portions axle 38a, the 38b of axle maintaining part 40 supportings and the tunnel shaft 38c between this end axis 38a, 38b, this tunnel shaft 38c passes the inside of agitator compressing member 120, and two ends are exposed to the outside.And the end of tunnel shaft 38c is connected by shaft coupling 122a, 122b respectively with end axis 38b with the other end of end axis 38a and tunnel shaft 38c.Although shaft coupling 122a, 122b use the screw-type shaft coupling in the present embodiment, also can use such as what is called to connect fast the arbitrarily shaft coupling such as shaft coupling.
