银和锡合金的电镀浴
技术领域
本发明涉及银和锡合金的电镀浴,和电镀银和锡合金的方法。更具体来说,本发明涉及银和锡合金的电镀浴,和电镀银和锡合金的方法,其中电镀浴含有允许富银或富锡合金的络合剂。
背景技术
存在两种类别的银和锡合金。一种是基于银或富银的银/锡合金,其中银含量大于50%。与纯银相比此类合金拥有较高硬度和较高耐磨性并且用于修饰应用。因为其极好的导电性,其还可用于电子连接器以降低硬金的量。由于硬金具有良好的耐磨性和耐腐蚀性,硬金在电子连接器中用作接触材料修整面层。硬金提供为电荷传输所需要的低电接触电阻;然而,金价格已经增加的使得其对于低成本接触修整面层来说已变成一限制性因素。银/锡合金已用于连接器修整面层以代替或降低硬金的量。此类合金通过镀敷银和锡的一或多个交替层并且随后在非氧化气氛中扩散以形成银/锡合金来制备。美国5,438,175公开具有银/锡以及银/钯闪烁层以使得薄金修整层能够制造更低成本物件的电子连接器。
合金的第二类型是基于锡的合金,其中银含量接近共晶,诸如大约3.5%。锡/银合金是比银/锡合金更软的合金并且硬度类似于纯锡。此类合金可以用作低晶须、无铅焊料。在用于锡/银合金的各种电子应用中,目前聚焦于关于晶片级包装(WLP)的半导体制造工业。对于晶片级包装,IC互连件集体构造于晶片上,并且完整IC模块在其被切块前可建构于晶片上。使用WLP获得的益处包括(例如)提高I/O密度,改进操作速度,增强功率密度和热管理,并且减小包装大小。
对于WLP一个关键是于晶片上建立倒装芯片导电互连凸点。这些互连凸点充当半导体组件至印刷线路板的电连接和物理连接。已提出在半导体装置上形成互连凸点的若干方法,例如焊料板凸点法、蒸发凸点法、导电胶接、模板印刷焊料凸点法、立柱凸点法和球放置凸点法。在这些技术中,相信用于形成精细间距阵列的最具成本效益的技术是焊料板凸点法,其涉及临时光刻胶镀敷掩模和电镀的组合。此技术快速采纳为用于诸如微处理器、数字信号处理器和专用集成电路的高附加值组合件的全区域互连凸点技术。
通常锡/铅合金用于形成焊料凸点;然而,因铅的毒性所致,业界已经尝试寻找可易于共-沉积的可接受的无铅锡合金。当所沉积的材料具有显著不同的沉积电势时,产生与通过电镀共沉积无铅锡合金相关的困难。例如当尝试沉积锡(-0.137V)与银(0.799V)的合金时,可产生新增的困难。针对给定的应用,业界期望有效控制沉积物的组成以防止材料在过高或过低温度下的熔融。不良组成控制可导致温度过高而使所处理的组件不能耐受或在另一个极端上导致焊点的不完全形成。
在电镀凸点是凸点形态中,经常碰到另一问题。举例而言,锡/银凸点通过光刻胶定义的通孔电沉积于凸点金属下的铜或镍上。剥离光刻胶并且回焊锡/银以形成球状凸点。凸点大小的均一性至关重要,使得所有凸点在相对应的倒装芯片组件上与其电连接接触。除凸点大小均一性之外,至关重要是空隙的低密度和体积在凸点回焊期间形成。理想地,在回焊期间无空隙形成。当接合到相对应的倒装芯片组件上时,凸点中的空隙还可导致互连可靠性问题。另一与镀敷凸点相关的问题是在凸点表面上形成结节,其用许多常规扫描电子显微镜可易于检测。此类结节可引起回焊排出,并且具有结节的外观矿床商业上不可接受。
因此,需要稳定的银和锡合金电镀浴,其可提供富银的银/锡合金以代替硬金并且可提供富锡的锡/银合金以提供实质上无节结和无空隙的焊料凸点。

银和锡合金电镀浴实质上不含铅。“实质上不含铅”意谓浴和银和锡合金沉积物含有50ppm或小于50ppm的铅。另外,银和锡合金电镀浴优先地不含氰化物。通过在包括CN-阴离子的浴中不使用任何银或锡盐或其它化合物基本上避免氰化物。
银和锡合金电镀浴还优选是低起泡的。在金属镀敷工业中高度需要低起泡电镀浴,因为在镀敷期间电镀浴气泡愈多,在镀敷期间每单元时间浴丢失的组分愈多。在镀敷期间组分的丢失可导致产生商业上较差的银和锡合金沉积物。因此,工作人员必须密切监测组分浓度并且将丢失组分更换到其原始浓度。在镀敷期间监测组分浓度可冗长并且困难,因为一些关键组分浓度相对低,使得其难以精确测量和置换以维持最优镀敷性能。低起泡电镀浴改进整个衬底表面中的合金组成均一性和厚度均一性并且可降低在沉积物中所捕获的有机物和气体气泡,回焊后所述沉积物在沉积中引起空隙。

浴可用于沉积各种组成的银和锡合金。当合金是光亮富银的银/锡合金时,银含量可介于大于50%到95%范围内并且其余部分是合金锡,通常银含量介于60%到90%范围内。富锡合金含有大于50%的锡到99%的锡并且其余部分是银,通常富锡合金包括80%到99%锡并且其余部分是银。此类重量以通过原子吸收光谱分析(atomicadsorptionspectroscopy,“AAS”)、X射线荧光(X-rayfluorescence,“XRF”)、感应耦合等离子体(inductivelycoupledplasma,“ICP”)或差示扫描热量测定(differentialscanningcalorimetry,“DSC”)获得的测量结果计。对于多种应用,可使用合金的共晶组合物。此类锡合金实质上不含铅并且是氰化物。
一般来说,富银合金比富锡合金提供更硬的沉积。此类富银合金用以(诸如)在用于珠宝、其它装饰品的修饰应用中代替硬金修整面层并且用于需要具有耐磨性和抗蚀性的连接器上的硬修整面层。通常此类修整面层的厚度介于0.4μm到5μm范围内。
富锡的锡/银合金通常用于晶片级包装的互连凸点形成。此涉及提供具有多个互连凸点垫的半导体裸片,在互连凸点垫上方形成晶种层,通过使半导体裸片与锡/银合金浴接触将锡/银合金互连凸点层沉积于互连凸点垫上方,并且传送电流通过浴以将锡/银合金互连凸点沉积于衬底上并且将互连凸点回焊。
一般来说,装置包括形成多个导电互连凸点垫的半导体衬底。半导体衬底可以是单晶体硅晶片、蓝宝石上硅(silicon-on-sapphire,SOS)衬底或绝缘体上硅(silicon-on-insulator,SOI)衬底。导电互连凸点垫可以是通常通过诸如溅镀的物理气相沉积(physicalvapordeposition,PVD)形成的金属、复合金属或金属合金的一或多种层。典型的导电互连凸点垫材料包含(但不限于)氮化铝、氮化铜、氮化钛和其合金。
钝化层形成于互连凸点垫上方并且延伸至互连凸点垫中的开口在其中通过蚀刻方法、通常通过干式蚀刻形成。钝化层通常是绝缘材料,例如氮化硅、氮氧化硅或氧化硅,诸如磷硅酸玻璃(phosphosilicateglass,PSG)。此类材料可通过化学气相沉积(chemicalvapordeposition,CVD)方法(诸如等离子体增强CVD(plasmaenhancedCVD,PECVD))沉积。
通常由多个金属或金属合金层形成的下方凸点金属化(bumpmetallization,UBM)结构沉积于装置上方。UBM充当用于待形成的互连凸点的胶层和电接触基质(晶种层)。形成UBM结构的层可通过诸如溅镀或蒸发的PVD或CVD方法沉积。在不限制的情况下,UBM结构可以是(例如)复合结构,依序包括底部铬层、铜层和上部锡层。
将光刻胶层施用到装置上,随后是标准光刻曝光和显影技术以形成镀敷掩模。镀敷掩模界定I/O垫和UBM上方的镀敷通孔的大小和位置。在不限制的情况下,镀敷方法一般采用厚度通常是25到70μm的相对薄的光刻胶层,而在通孔镀敷方法中一般采用厚度通常是70到120μm的相对厚的光刻胶层。光刻胶材料可商购并且在此项技术中熟知。
互连凸点材料使用上文所描述的富锡的锡/银合金电镀浴通过电镀方法沉积于装置上。可需要使用提供共晶浓度的锡/银合金浴。凸点材料在通过镀敷通孔界定的区域中电镀。为此目的,例如喷镀敷系统的水平或垂直晶片镀敷系统通常与直流电(directcurrent,DC)或脉冲镀敷技术一起使用。在镀敷方法中互连凸点材料完全填充延伸在镀敷掩模的一部分顶部表面上方和上面的通孔。此确保足够体积的互连凸点材料沉积以在回焊后达到所需球大小。在通孔镀敷方法中,光刻胶厚度足够厚,使得适当体积的互连凸点材料含于镀敷掩模通孔内。在镀敷互连凸点材料前,可在镀敷通孔中电镀铜层或镍层。在回焊后,此层可充当互连凸点的可湿润基座。
沉积互连凸点材料后,使用适当溶剂剥离镀敷掩模。此类溶剂在此项技术中熟知。接着使用已知技术选择性蚀刻UBM结构,去除来自互连凸点周围和互连凸点之间的场区的所有金属。
接着任选地熔化晶片并且在回焊炉中加热到在其下互连凸点材料熔融并且流成截短的实质上球形的温度。加热技术在此项技术中已知,并且包括(例如)红外、传导和对流技术和其组合。回流互连凸点一般与UBM结构的边缘共同延伸。可在惰性气体气氛或空气中进行热处理步骤,其中特殊工艺温度和时间取决于互连凸点材料的特殊组成。
银和锡合金浴不含铅并且稳定。优选地,其不含氰化物化合物。相比于通常通过2个月闲置时间分解的常规银和锡氰化物浴,银和锡合金通常在闲置时间期间可保持稳定,持续至少8月。其可沉积富银或富锡的银和锡合金。富银的银/锡合金提供可以用于修饰目的并且足够硬以代替硬金作为电连接器的修整层的光亮银/锡合金。富锡的锡/银合金浴可用以沉积是共晶或接近共晶的锡/银合金。另外,使用锡/银合金浴沉积的互连凸点具有实质上均一形态并且在回焊后提供实质上无空隙互连凸点。互连凸点还实质上无结节。
以下实例意欲进一步说明本发明,但不意欲限制本发明范畴。
实例1
具有下表中的两种配方制备多个富银的银/锡合金电镀浴。
表1
接着进行配方I的电解。进行测试以展示浴的电化学稳定性。称量黄铜面板(7.5cm×10cm)并且接着固定在镀敷浴中。将2ASD的低电流密度施加至面板15分钟。自镀敷浴去除面板并且称量。测定在15分钟期间所镀敷的银/锡的量。还以安培小时/升浴记录电量。结果指示在2ASD下在100Ah/L浴寿命内,每安培小时/升沉积于黄铜面板上的银/锡的量实质上相同,并且浴在电镀期间稳定。在电解期间电流效率稳定并且接近100%。在电解期间未观测到浴的分解;然而,过滤出锡(IV)沉淀以保持浴的浑浊度和性能恒定。镀敷面板具有光亮的银/锡沉积物。
在2安培总电流下,在0Ah/L、30Ah/L、70Ah/L和100Ah/L的浴寿命下对配方I进行赫尔槽测试(Hullcelltest),以判定可应用的电流密度范围是否随着浴寿命保持稳定,在电流密度范围内于黄铜面板(7.5cm×10cm)上进行镀敷3分钟。电流密度介于0.05ASD到10ASD范围内。在所有情况下获得光亮的银/锡沉积物。
实例2
表1中的两种配方用以将银/锡合金电镀于黄铜面板、铜面板、铜/铍合金面板、铜/镍合金面板、铜/锡合金面板、镍涂布的黄铜面板和镍涂布的铜面板上。每一面板是7.5cm×10cm。面板厚度是0.25mm。镍涂布的黄铜面板和镍涂布的铜面板含有小于100nm的银冲击层以提升银/锡层对镍的粘附性。使用含有2g/L银离子、15g/L3,6-二硫杂-1,8-辛二醇、67g/L甲磺酸的银冲击浴将银冲击层电镀于面板上。进行电镀,维持0.5ASD到1ASD,持续10秒到30秒。
将面板放置于含有配方I或配方II的镀敷浴中。浴的温度是50℃并且阳极是氧化铱不溶性阳极。将每一电极连接到整流器上。在2ASD下进行电镀。电镀面板后,检测银/锡沉积物的物理外观。所有银/锡沉积物均具有光亮有光泽的沉积物。
实例3
将直径是12mm并且高度是8mm的黄铜圆柱体安装于电发动机的轴上并且浸没于含有表1中的配方I的镀敷浴中。将发动机设定成1000rpm的旋转速度。将不溶性氧化铱电极用作阳极。将电极连接到整流器上。通过旋转阴极搅拌电镀浴并且将浴温度维持在50℃。在0.5、1、2、4、6、8、10、12、14、16、18和20ASD下进行电镀。当自一电流密度移动到另一电流密度时更换圆柱体,并且调节镀敷时间以保持相同的膜厚度。在0.5ASD到16ASD的电流密度范围内,所有的银/锡合金沉积物具有光亮有光泽的外观。在18ASD和20ASD下观测较少的燃烧边缘。
使用来自海尔姆特菲希尔(HelmutFischer)AG的菲希尔X射线光谱仪(FISCHERSCOPEX-Ray)型号XDV-SD,通过X射线荧光(XRF)分析测定每一沉积物的银和锡含量。XRF分析展示银/锡合金层含有75重量%到80重量%的银和20重量%到25重量%的锡。测定银/锡合金的平均合金含量是78+2%的银和22+2%的锡。在可应用的电流密度范围内银和锡含量未显著变化。
实例4
电镀黄铜面板(5cm×2.5cm),其中硬金层来自含有750mL/LRONOVALTMCM-97组成配方、17.7g/L(68.2%)氰化金钾、20mL/LRONOVALTMCM钴浓缩物(购自陶氏电子材料(DowElectronicMaterials))和足够的去离子水以使浴达到所需体积的金/钴合金电镀浴,来自或上文表1中的配方I的银/锡合金电镀浴。将黄铜面板放置于或具有电镀浴的电镀槽中。不溶性镀铂钛电极用作阳极。在50℃下进行银/锡电镀并且在60℃下进行金/钴电镀。硬金浴的电流密度是4ASD并且银/锡浴的电流密度是2ASD。进行电镀直至含有0.2重量%钴的硬金或具有79重量%银和21重量%锡的银/锡合金的5μm层沉积于黄铜上。
针对每一镀敷黄铜面板,在室温下使用具有钻石尖端的CSM纳米压痕测试仪测试纳米维氏硬度(VickersHardness)。压头尖端的深度穿透率小于或等于黄铜面板上的硬金层或银/锡合金层厚度的10%。这确保下伏黄铜不影响硬度结果。测定硬金的平均硬度是175HV并且测定银/锡合金层的硬度是240HV。银/锡层比硬金层更硬。
接着在常规对流炉中在150℃下使电镀黄铜面板退火一个小时。再次测试硬金层和银/锡合金层的硬度。硬金层的硬度具有200HV的平均硬度值并且银/锡合金具有225HV的平均硬度值。尽管退火过程软化银/锡合金层,但银/锡合金层仍具有比硬金更硬的表面。银/锡合金指示超过常规硬金的改进的硬度。
实例5
在富银的银/锡合金或金/钴硬金下根据上文实例4的方法电镀黄铜面板(5cm×10cm和0.25mm厚)。进行电镀以在面板上形成3μm层。使用来自新英仪器有限公司(SHEENInstrumentsLtd.)的弯曲测试仪根据ASTM标准B489-85测试每一镀敷黄铜面板的延展性。对于硬金,测量的延展性介于4-5%范围内,并且银/锡合金的延展性大于7.8%。在银/锡合金样品的伸长期间不存在任何开裂的迹象。4%后硬金样品中的一些观测到开裂,并且其余部分在5%后开裂。银/锡层具有超过硬金样品的改进的延展性。
实例6
镀敷两个5cm×2.5cm黄铜面板(0.25mm厚),其中银来自SILVERONTMGT-101银电镀浴(购自陶氏电子材料,马尔堡(Marlborough),MA)或上文表1中的配方I的银/锡合金浴。在电镀槽中在50℃下电镀每一面板。用于银/锡浴的阳极是镀铂钛不溶性电极并且可溶性银阳极用于银浴。电流密度是0.5ASD。进行镀敷直至银或银/锡层(3μm厚)沉积于面板上。
接着将每一面板浸没于2重量%硫化钾(K2S)溶液中10分钟以测试每一涂层的抗蚀性。银涂层具有指示形成Ag2S和严重锈污的黑蓝色外观。相比于实质上纯的银涂层,银/锡涂层具有指示在硫存在下聚硫化物与银/锡涂层极其缓慢地反应的浅褐色。银/锡涂层提供比银涂层更抗蚀性的涂层。
实例7
使用配方I将富银的银/锡合金层电镀于黄铜面板(1cm×3cm)上。在电镀池中在1ASD下并且在50℃的温度下进行电镀。阳极是镀铂钛不溶性电极。进行电镀直至3μm的银/锡合金层沉积于面板上。在光亮锡下使用SOLDERONTMBT-280光亮锡电镀浴(购自陶氏电子材料)镀敷第二黄铜面板(1cm×3cm)。在30℃下在1ASD下进行电镀直至3μm的光亮锡层沉积于面板上。
接着根据IEC60068-2-69(“通过湿润平衡方法对表面安装装置(surfacemountingdevices,SMD)的电子组件的焊接性测试”)测试银/锡合金焊接性能并且与常规光亮锡的焊接性能相比。在焊接前,首先将每一样品浸没于由量电(Metronelec)(法国(France))供应的非活化焊剂C25R中以去除灰尘、油状物和氧化物。接着将样品安装于量电/梅纳斯科(MENESCO)ST50焊接性设备(购自量电)中,所述设备将其4mm驱动成速度是20毫米/秒的焊料。焊料是含有95.5重量%锡、3.8重量%银和0.7重量%铜的无铅焊料。在245℃下测试时间是10秒。当样品引入焊料中时,设备所要求的编程软件提供测量力的方法,以及当焊料使样品表面湿润时的力。所有测量结果制成为时间函数。通过软件程序自如所计算的力测量结果测定过零时间、5mN下的时间、5秒后的平均力和5秒时的角度的关键参数。测试重复五次进行。5次测试的平均结果展示于下文表2中。
表2
所得资料展示富银的银/锡合金的焊接性能类似于光亮锡的焊接性能。银/锡合金和光亮锡的过零时间以及5mN下的时间、5秒后的平均力和5秒下的角度在常规I级分类内,其中小于1.2秒的过零时间在工业中认为极其良好。II级认为良好并且具有小于1.5秒的过零,III级认为中等,其中过零时间小于2秒,并且IV级认为较差,无过零时间。银/锡合金的良好焊接性能指示其可以是可接受的硬金的替代物来作为电连接器上的涂层。
