Description

Nanometer twin crystal copper micro-inductor and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronic devices, and particularly relates to a nano twin crystal copper micro-inductor, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
In the traditional packaging form, three passive devices of inductance, capacitance and resistance are large in size and large in number, so that the inductance and the chip are manufactured in a lamination mode under the trend of miniaturization of electronic products, and modularization of a chip power supply is achieved. The advanced packaging form of the micro-inductance technology is used, so that the area of a circuit board can be greatly saved, and the electronic product becomes lighter, thinner and smaller. The quality factor Q is the ratio of energy storage to loss per unit time, which is an important parameter for measuring the micro-inductor, and has close relation with the coil material, the magnetic core material and the design of the inductor. The higher the Q value, the higher the inductor efficiency. Since the Q value of an inductance is inversely proportional to the resistance of a metal coil material, decreasing the resistance of the coil material is one of the effective methods of increasing the Q value. As can be seen from the calculation formula of the resistance, increasing the line width and the thickness or decreasing the resistivity can reduce the resistance, but increasing the line width can affect the integration level of the micro-inductor, and meanwhile, can increase the parasitic capacitance, thereby affecting the working frequency and increasing the coupling between the inductor and the substrate. Therefore, the Q value of the micro-inductor can be effectively improved by reducing the resistivity of the material per se under the condition of the same thickness.
Graphene has very low resistivity (1 mu Ω cm), which is much lower than metallic copper and silver, and is the lowest resistivity material currently known at normal temperature. However, as the graphene has a thickness of only 0.0334nm, the resistor is too large to be independently applied to the actual on-chip inductor, so in the 'inductor on a graphene composite membrane' of the Chinese patent of the invention with the application number of CN201610355178.7, a graphene composite membrane layer formed by sequentially stacking a graphene layer, an insulating medium layer and a metal conductive layer is proposed to be used as an inductor coil material, which is beneficial to reducing the inductance resistance value and improving the quality factor. The above reports demonstrate that most researchers have focused on reducing the resistance value of coil materials by developing new coil materials.
There are always a large number of defects inside the conventional material, such as defects of grain boundaries and the like, which obstruct dislocation movement, so that the strength of the material is improved. The nanocrystalline has high material strength due to the presence of a large number of grain boundaries, but the conductivity of the nanocrystalline material is deteriorated due to the fact that electrons are easily trapped or dispersed by defects such as grain boundaries. Therefore, both the copper (equiaxed crystal) and nanocrystalline copper structures of the common structure have certain limitations, and the requirements of high strength and high conductivity cannot be met.
With the continuous development of the technology of micro-inductance, the resistance of the coil material is required to be further reduced so as to improve the performance of the micro-inductance. And as the service environment of the electronic component material becomes more severe, the material is required to have higher strength under the action of thermal stress and the like. Considering that the coil material is subjected to higher heat under the action of higher current density, the coil material is required to have better thermal stability. The solidification temperature of the photoresist is generally between 150 and 350 ℃, and the thermal stability of copper of a common equiaxed crystal structure is generally only 200 to 250 ℃, namely, the copper of the common equiaxed crystal structure is recrystallized along with the heating in the preparation process of the micro-inductor, so that the phenomena of coarsening of crystal grains, strength reduction, cracking at stress concentration positions and the like occur.

The invention uses the columnar nano twin crystal copper as the coil inductance material, firstly, the grain size of the columnar nano twin crystal copper is larger and is equivalent to that of coarse crystal copper, and the layer spacing of the twin crystal is at the nanometer level. Since a large number of point, line and surface defects exist in the grain boundary, which are not beneficial to the conduction of electrons, the grain boundary has great damage to the conductivity; the nano twin grain boundary is different from the traditional grain boundary, has weak capability of dispersing electrons, so that the damage to conductivity is small, and has the resistivity equivalent to that of the oxygen-free coarse-grain copper. Meanwhile, the nano twin crystal boundary can effectively pin dislocation, so that the nano twin crystal copper has very high strength, and simultaneously has higher strength and lower resistivity. Compared with the common equiaxed crystal copper material, the micro-inductance reliability and performance can be effectively improved.
The coil material generates joule heat in the electrifying process, the reduction of the resistivity of the nano twin crystal copper can effectively reduce the joule heat generated in the electrifying process, and the nano twin crystal copper has the characteristic of higher thermal stability (the thermal stability is up to 350 ℃), and the thermal stability of the nano twin crystal copper is far higher than that of common tissue copper (200 ℃), so the nano twin crystal copper has obvious advantages in a high-temperature-resistant service environment.
Compared with planar runway type, strip type and other inductance forms, the coil design in the solenoid type can more embody the advantages of columnar nano twin crystal copper, when the current flow direction is parallel to the inductance surface in the section view of the whole loop, columnar nano twin crystal copper grains are coarse, and the number of crystal boundaries penetrated in electron conduction is equal to that of coarse crystal copper. While when the current flow direction is perpendicular to the inductor surface, electron conduction is hardly required to pass through any grain boundaries. In addition, in the coil design of a solenoid form, a double-layer columnar nano twin crystal copper combination mode is adopted, a bottom layer coil material is columnar nano twin crystal copper of a planar circuit, the columnar nano twin crystal copper is prepared by a traditional electrodeposition nano twin crystal copper method, a top layer coil material is non-planar nano twin crystal copper material, the coil design comprises two patterns of a top layer planar circuit and a longitudinal column, additives are added into nano twin crystal copper electroplating liquid, and an electroplating process is adjusted, so that two patterns can be filled simultaneously. The optimized electroplated columnar nano twin crystal copper can be filled with two patterns of a plane and a column at the same time, and the surface is flattened by using chemical mechanical polishing after electroplating to obtain a top coil. In addition, as the nano-twin copper is preferentially oriented to the high (111) plane, the transition layer can be substantially eliminated when the nano-twin copper is deposited on the substrate with the high (111) plane preferentially oriented. Therefore, when the longitudinal columnar nano twin crystal copper is deposited, the nano twin crystal copper at the bottom layer is used as a matrix, and due to the preferential orientation of the nano twin crystal copper material at the bottom layer, a transition layer hardly exists when the columnar nano twin crystal copper at the top layer is deposited. And the diffusion coefficient of the copper (111) crystal face is 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than that of other crystal faces, the top layer and the bottom layer are mutually diffused under the action of Joule heat, and the bonding interface is firmer.
The design of the inductor structure better utilizes the characteristics of low resistivity and high thermal stability of nano twin crystal copper, not only can help to improve the performance of the micro inductor, but also has better guarantee on the reliability.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. the nano twin crystal copper micro inductor reduces the inductance resistance value and improves the inductance quality factor. The nano twin crystal copper micro-inductor has much higher thermal stability than the common copper micro-inductor, and the low resistivity can effectively reduce the joule heat, thereby being beneficial to the high temperature service reliability of the micro-inductor. In the preparation process of the micro-inductor, the characteristic of nano twin crystal copper pattern filling is combined, and the preparation process of the micro-inductor is designed.
2. And the planarization of the bottom layer coil is ensured by using a chemical mechanical polishing method, and the problem of large surface roughness of nano twin crystal copper is solved. The optimized electrodeposition formula and process adopted by the top coil ensure that two patterns of a plane and a column can be filled at the same time. The longitudinal pillar part of the top coil uses the bottom coil material as a matrix to carry out electrodeposition, and the crystal face fast diffusion ensures good combination while eliminating the transition layer.
