Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte au domaine des bains pour dépôts électrolytiques. Elle concerne, plus particulièrement, un bain d'or sulfitique du type de ceux employés pour déposer des couches d'or à la fois ductiles et épaisses, c'est à dire typiquement de plus de 200 µm. Ces dépôts sont particulièrement bien adaptés, notamment, à la réalisation de protubérances conductrices, connues sous le nom de "bumps", utilisées pour connecter des puces électroniques.The present invention relates to the field of baths for deposits Electrolytic. It relates, more particularly, to a sulphite gold bath of type of those used to deposit layers of gold both ductile and thick, ie typically more than 200 µm. These deposits are particularly well suited, in particular, to the production of protuberances conductors, known as "bumps", used to connect electronic chips.
Pendant longtemps, l'or a été présent dans les bains sous la forme de complexes cyanurés, comme (Au(CN)2)-. Cependant, malgré la qualité des dépôts obtenus, la toxicité des cyanures a conduit à la recherche d'autres produits et des solutions de complexes solubles de sulfites d'or y ont été substituées.For a long time, gold has been present in baths in the form of cyanide complexes, such as (Au (CN) 2 ) - . However, despite the quality of the deposits obtained, the toxicity of cyanides led to the search for other products and solutions of soluble complexes of gold sulfites were substituted.
On notera que, la toxicité étant une notion très relative, on définira comme toxique une substance nocive dans les quantités utilisées pour l'application visée et comme non-toxique une substance ne présentant pas de nocivité pour cette application.Note that, toxicity being a very relative notion, we will define as toxic a harmful substance in the quantities used for the intended application and as non-toxic a substance which does not harm this application.
Certaines utilisations de dépôts d'or, notamment pour la réalisation de bumps, nécessitent que la couche de métal soit particulièrement ductile, régulière, à grains fins et présentant une très faible dureté.Certain uses of gold deposits, in particular for making bumps, require that the metal layer be particularly ductile, regular, fine grains with very low hardness.
Or, les bains d'or sulfitiques connus actuellement fournissent des dépôts trop durs, ce qui impose un traitement thermique supplémentaire pour les ramollir. De plus, ils utilisent des affineurs de grains toxiques, contenant de l'arsenic ou du thallium. Par ailleurs, les solutions obtenues sont agressives et attaquent les substrats, notamment lorsqu'il s'agit de photorésistes. Now, the sulphite gold baths currently known provide too much deposits. hard, which requires additional heat treatment to soften them. Of more, they use toxic grain refiners, containing arsenic or thallium. Furthermore, the solutions obtained are aggressive and attack the substrates, especially when it comes to photoresists.
La présente invention a principalement pour but de fournir un bain d'or sulfitique exempt de composés toxiques et permettant de réaliser un dépôt particulièrement tendre, sans avoir recours à un traitement thermique ultérieur. Le pH du bain obtenu est neutre et la solution n'attaque pas les photorésistes couramment utilisés.The main object of the present invention is to provide a sulphite gold bath free of toxic compounds and allowing a deposit particularly tender, without having to use a subsequent heat treatment. The pH of the bath obtained is neutral and the solution does not attack the photoresists commonly used.
De façon plus précise, le bain selon l'invention est du type comportant, en solution dans de l'eau, du sulfite d'or, un affineur de grain, un complexant et un sel conducteur. Ce bain est caractérisé en ce que son affineur de grain, non toxique, est choisi parmi des composés solubles de bismuth, d'étain, de tellure et de sélénium.More precisely, the bath according to the invention is of the type comprising, in solution in water, gold sulfite, a grain refiner, a complexing agent and a conductive salt. This bath is characterized in that its grain refiner, not toxic, is chosen from soluble compounds of bismuth, tin, tellurium and selenium.
De façon avantageuse, le bain comporte, en outre, de l'acide amidosulfonique.Advantageously, the bath also comprises amidosulfonic acid.
D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre, non accompagnée de dessin.Other characteristics of the invention will emerge from the description which follows follow, not accompanied by a drawing.
De préférence, le bain pour dépôt électrolytique d'or selon l'invention comporte :
- de 7 à 20 g/L d'or, sous la forme de sulfite d'or choisi parmi d'autres sels solubles d'or pour la qualité du dépôt obtenu,
- de 5 à 50 mg/L de bismuth, sous la forme d'un sel soluble de citrate d'ammonium et de bismuth, utilisé comme affineur de grain non-toxique,
- de 10 à 50 mL/L d'un dérivé d'acide phosphonique, par exemple, le produit connu sous le nom de Dequest 2010, utilisé comme complexant,
- de 20 à 100 g/L de sulfite d'ammonium, utilisé comme sel conducteur pour l'électrodéposition, et
- de 20 à 100 g/L d'acide amidosulfonique, également utilisé comme sel conducteur.
- from 7 to 20 g / L of gold, in the form of gold sulphite chosen from other soluble gold salts for the quality of the deposit obtained,
- 5 to 50 mg / L of bismuth, in the form of a soluble salt of ammonium citrate and bismuth, used as a non-toxic grain refiner,
- 10 to 50 mL / L of a phosphonic acid derivative, for example, the product known as Dequest 2010, used as a complexing agent,
- from 20 to 100 g / L of ammonium sulfite, used as a conductive salt for electroplating, and
- from 20 to 100 g / L of amidosulfonic acid, also used as a conductive salt.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux, le bain comporte :
- 10 g/L d'or, sous la forme de sulfite d'or,
- 15 mg/L de bismuth, sous la forme d'un sel soluble de citrate d'ammonium et de bismuth,
- 25 mL/L de Dequest 2010,
- 50 g/L de sulfite d'ammonium, et
- 50 g/L d'acide amidosulfonique.
- 10 g / L of gold, in the form of gold sulfite,
- 15 mg / L of bismuth, in the form of a soluble salt of ammonium citrate and bismuth,
- 25 mL / L of Dequest 2010,
- 50 g / L of ammonium sulfite, and
- 50 g / L of amidosulfonic acid.
Ainsi, le bain obtenu n'utilise ni de sel d'or toxique, ni d'affineur de grains toxique. De plus, il permet d'obtenir des dépôts tendres, présentant typiquement une dureté comprise entre 50 et 70 Vickers, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'effectuer un quelconque traitement thermique. La solution obtenue n'attaque pas les substrats sur lesquelles des bumps sont couramment déposés et son pH est typiquement compris entre 6,7 et 7,5.Thus, the bath obtained uses neither toxic gold salt, nor toxic grain refiner. In addition, it makes it possible to obtain tender deposits, typically having a hardness between 50 and 70 Vickers, without the need to perform a any heat treatment. The solution obtained does not attack substrates on which bumps are commonly deposited and its pH is typically between 6.7 and 7.5.
La description qui vient d'être faite n'est qu'un exemple particulier d'un bain pour dépôt d'or électrolytique selon l'invention. Il est aussi possible d'utiliser, comme affineur de grain, tout composé soluble d'étain, de tellure ou de sélénium.The description which has just been made is only a particular example of a bath for electrolytic gold deposition according to the invention. It is also possible to use, like grain refiner, any soluble compound of tin, tellurium or selenium.
