Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of forming copper oxide on a copper surface and a use of specific oxidizing compounds in an alkaline aqueous oxidizing solution to form uniform copper oxide on a copper surface.
- passivation is often desired. Passivation may be done for reasons of protection for example by means of a layer of copper oxide.
- the copper oxide is typically later partially of fully removed for further process steps in the production of the electronic article.
- solubilization of carbon dioxide from ambi ent air typically leads to a decrease in pH, thereby impairing the performance of the solution in terms of cleaning and oxide formation. This is due to the formation of carbonates in the solution.
- Aqueous alkaline solutions are known.
- DE 1546162 A1 discloses such a solution for cleaning work pieces of iron, steel, zink, and alloys thereof.
- DE 2507056 A1 discloses a solution for cleaning iron-containing metal pieces.

- the product of the present invention is an electronic article, preferably a printed cir cuit board or a wafer.
- Alkaline aqueous oxidizing solution of the present invention Alkaline aqueous oxidizing solution of the present invention:
- An oxidizing solution of the present invention (hereinafter simply named“inv”) is produced by adding 10 mmol/L to 50 mmol/L 3-nitrobenzene sulphonate as oxidizing compound to an alka line aqueous solution comprising between 0.5 mol/L and 1 mol/L NaOH (pH 13 to 14) and glu conate as complexing agent.
- a non-alkaline oxidizing solution comprising between 0.4 mol/L and 0.6 mol/L H2O2 in an aque ous solution having a pH in a range from 4.0 to 4.5 is also prepared for comparative reasons
- step a) of the method of the present invention copper clad laminates (CCL, EM- 825(l), Elite Material Co., Ltd.; 35 pm copper foil on a non-conductive resin, 7.5 cm x 15 cm) comprising a copper surface, are provided as substrates for the respective experiments.
- step b) of the method of the present invention the copper surface is pre-cleaned in an aqueous pre-cleaning solution (35°C) comprising sodium peroxydisulfate (SPS), sulfuric ac id, and copper sulfate followed by a rinsing step with water.
- a pre-cleansed copper surface is obtained exhibiting a pure metallic copper surface.
- step c) of the method of the present invention the pre-cleansed copper surface is contacted with the respective oxidizing solution at 50°C for 3 minutes contacting time (“inv” and “compl”) or at 35°C for 1 minute contacting time (“comp2”). Characteristics (i) to (iv) are deter mined afterwards. A summary of the results is provided in Table A below.
- the oxidizing solutions“inv” and “compl” are artificially carbonized by directly introducing gaseous CO2 to finally obtain pre determined carbonate concentrations (volumetric flow-rate approximately 0.5 L/min). For that an almost complete carbonization of the contained hydroxides is carried out. Afterwards, the de sired concentration of carbonate is pH-metrical titrated and carefully checked before each ex periment is carried out. In this way the naturally occurring carbonization facilitated by carbon dioxide from ambient air is simulated. The oxide weight gain (incorporation of oxide) is deter mined depending on the concentration of carbonate. Results are obtained for 3 minutes and 5 minutes contacting time, respectively, in step c).
- each substrate is rinsed with water and dried at approximately 65°C.
- n.d. denotes not determined
- a copper surface contacted with“inv” results in a copper oxide with a significant golden color with a greenish tint (see Table A).
- This color is characteristic for the method of the present in vention and is basically still formed in an even aged oxidizing solution unless comparatively high carbonate concentrations are reached (see Table B,“inv”, 3 minutes contacting time, 30 g/L carbonate concentration). With 3 minutes contacting time, the characteristic color is maintained for a carbonate concentration from 0 g/L to at least 15 g/L. In contrast, if the contacting time is 5 minutes, the characteristic color is even maintained including a carbonate concentration of 30 g/L (see Table B,“inv”, 5 minutes contacting time).
- a copper surface contacted with“comp1” results in a copper oxide with an undefined copper color including a dull and/or hazy appearance.
- This color difference allows a simple optical inspection of copper surfaces treated according to the method of the present invention and easily indicates that the desired copper oxide is pre sent.
- a substrate contacted with“comp2” shows a strong orange color, which is not further divulg gated in the presence of carbonate.
- oxidation with H2O2 is comparatively quick (4 sec onds) several disadvantages are clearly observed in our experiments: - copper oxide unacceptably dissolves in the weakly acid oxidizing solution; although the pH is only weakly acidic, undesired dissolution cannot be fully excluded in this step
- Table A shows that the formation of copper oxide upon contacting with“inv” is initiated signifi cantly earlier compared to contacting with“compl”. Thus,“inv” significantly accelerates the initi ation of copper oxide formation and significantly lowers the initiation time compared to“compl”.
- Table A shows that contacting with“inv” results in an increased amount of formed copper oxide, which is approximately tripled compared to contacting with“compl” (compare Table A,“compl”, 6 pg/cm 2 vs.“inv”, 18 pg/cm 2 ). Furthermore, Table B shows that in each case more copper ox ide is formed upon contacting with“inv” compared to contacting with“compl”.
- Homogeneity was determined by visual inspection. A uniformly distributed color (without dark er/brighter areas, spots, blurs and stains) indicates a uniform copper oxide layer. In contrast, a surface with darker/brighter areas of a color including spots, blurs and stains strongly indicates an oxide layer with significantly varying thickness and an obvious inhomogeneity.
- Table B shows that, in each case, a contacting with“inv” results in a formation of copper oxide. Furthermore, in each case the amount of formed copper oxide is higher compared to a contact ing with“compl”. As a result, formation of copper oxide is not negatively affected by the pres ence of carbonate and increased copper oxide formation also occurs in aged oxidizing solu tions.
