The present invention relates to a gold plating solution, and more particularly to a gold plating solution that has excellent uniform electrodeposition properties. Gold plating is widely used in the semiconductor industry for various IC packages. Since gold plating is expensive, it is necessary to strictly control plating conditions etc. to reduce costs.
It is necessary to suppress variations in plating thickness and avoid applying more gold than the required thickness. In addition, for this purpose, the gold plating solution is required to have excellent so-called uniform electrodeposition properties, which means that the plating thickness can be made as uniform as possible. In other words, in controlling the plating thickness, it is necessary to control the minimum plating thickness at a certain predetermined part for product quality to be a certain value or more, so if the uniformity of electrodeposition is low, This is because as the thickness varies, more gold must be added, which increases costs. Furthermore, it is also desirable that the bath itself be stable in order to maintain uniform electrodeposition even under field conditions such as fluctuations in electrolytic conditions and bath composition. However, in electrolytic plating, a large amount of electrolytic metal is inevitably deposited on the convex parts of the product where the current is concentrated, making it impossible to obtain a uniform plating thickness. The above-mentioned tendency is particularly noticeable at high current densities, and the phenomenon of so-called fading occurs. Due to the tendency of large amounts of electrodeposition on convex parts as mentioned above, in conventional gold plating solutions,
Uniform electrodeposition, determined by measuring the film thickness at several locations and using the so-called Field's equation, was only about 60% at maximum. The inventor believes that in order to obtain excellent uniform electrodeposition, the liquid composition must be such that the above-mentioned current concentration can be alleviated, i.e., the plating efficiency can be reduced at high current density where the current is concentrated. We came up with the idea that a liquid composition would suffice. Incidentally, thallium, lead, or arsenic has conventionally been added to gold plating solutions as electrodeposited crystal regulators. The inventor conducted various experiments and found that the current efficiency of those containing thallium and lead as electrodeposition crystal modifiers was always approximately the same even when various other additives were added.
The value was close to 100%, and the above-mentioned current concentration could not be avoided, especially at high current densities. However, when the above-mentioned current concentration occurs due to the addition of nitrilotriacetic acid and triethylenetetramine or ethylenediamine, the electrodeposition crystal modifier that contains arsenic will respond depending on the degree of current concentration. It has been found that it is possible to avoid variations in plating thickness due to a decrease in efficiency. That is, the object of the present invention is to achieve excellent uniform electrodeposition by creating a liquid composition that reduces plating efficiency in high current density areas.
An object of the present invention is to provide a gold plating solution that can reduce costs. This purpose, according to the invention, contains potassium cyanogen, a conductivity salt, nitrilotriacetic acid, triethylenetetramine or ethylenediamine and arsenic as an electrodeposition crystal modifier, with a pH of 5.5 to 7.0.
This is achieved by adjusting the liquid composition to Metallic gold may be contained in a relatively low concentration as long as it is contained in an amount of 2 g/or more as cyanogen-gold potassium. Tripotassium citrate and monopotassium phosphate give electrical conductivity to the plating solution, and also have a buffering effect, so the pH remains stable even during on-site plating work where electrolytic conditions and solution composition vary. death,
It is possible to maintain uniform electrodeposition, which will be described later. Tripotassium citrate and monopotassium phosphate are each 20
It is preferable to use a concentration in the range of ~60g/, but in order to maximize the buffering capacity mentioned above, it is preferable to set both to the same concentration. Nitrilotriacetic acid and triethylenetetramine, together with the presence of arsenic as an electrodeposition crystal modifier, improve uniform electrodeposition. Adhesiveness cannot be obtained. Similar effects can be obtained by using ethylenediamine instead of triethylenetetramine. In terms of concentration, nitrilotriacetic acid is 40~
80g/, triethylenetetramine 5-10g/
It is suitable to use within the range of . Arsenic is an electrodeposited crystal regulator that gives gloss to plating. Furthermore, the presence of arsenic is a factor in achieving uniform electrodeposition as described above. In addition, within the above composition range, the pH of the bath is stably adjusted in the range of 5.5 to 7.0, with small pH fluctuations and good stability, and the uniform electrodeposition property determined by the above Field formula is approximately 80. %, and excellent uniform electrodeposition properties can be obtained. Examples are shown below. (Example 1) Potassium gold cyanide 12g/ (8g as metal gold) Tripotassium citrate 50g/ Monopotassium phosphate 50g/ NTA (nitrilotriacetic acid) 80g/ Ethylenediamine 5g/ Arsenic 8ppm PH 6.0 Liquid temperature 60℃ Above When Halcel plating was performed at 0.3A for 5 minutes with moderate stirring using a gold plating solution with the same composition, lemon yellow glossy plating was obtained. The film thickness at four points on this Hull cell panel was measured using fluorescent X.
When the uniform electrodeposition was measured using a line micro film thickness meter and calculated using the Field equation, it was 80%. Note that similar results were obtained when triethylenetetramine was used instead of ethylenediamine. (Example 2) Potassium gold cyanide 12g/ (8g as metal gold) Tripotassium citrate 50g/ Monopotassium phosphate 50g/ Arsenic 8ppm PH 6.0 Liquid temperature 60°C Conducted using a gold plating solution with the above composition. Hull cell plating was carried out in the same manner as in Example 1, and the film thickness on this Hull cell panel was measured to determine the uniformity of electrodeposition, which was 75%. The results show that uniform electrodeposition is greatly improved by adding nitrilotriacetic acid and ethylenediamine or triethylenetetramine. (Example 3) Next, Table 1 shows the uniform electrodeposition properties of Comparative Examples 1 to 15 and Example 3 having various compositions.

[Table] A is tripotassium citrate 50g/monopotassium phosphate 50g/potassium gold cyanide 12g/
The composition of the three components is B is thallium sulfate 60mg/
, C is lead acetate 40mg/D, potassium arsenite
25mg/E is nitrilotriacetic acid 80g/F
indicates 10ml/triethylenetetramine (or ethylenediamine). As is clear from Table 1, the uniform electrodeposition property of the bath having composition A alone is as low as 32%. Table 1
As is clear from the group A, when thallium, lead, or arsenic is mixed in the bath A, the uniform electrodeposition is improved, but the maximum is 57% (Comparative Example 4). Furthermore, as is clear from Groups 1 and 2, thallium, lead, or arsenic is mixed in the bath of A, and either E (nitrilotriacetic acid) or F (triethylenetetramine or ethylenediamine) is added. However, the uniform electrodeposition property is almost the same as that of the first group. Furthermore, even when both E and F are mixed in the bath A, the uniform electrodeposition is 32% (Comparative Example 10), which is the same as when only A is used in Comparative Example 1, and the uniform electrodeposition is not at all. No improvement. Next, the third group added E (nitrilotriacetic acid) to the bath of A.
An example will be shown in which thallium, lead, or arsenic is further added to a mixture of F (triethylenetetramine or ethylenediamine). As is clear from this, in the case of thallium and lead, the uniform electrodeposition is 51 to 52%, which is hardly improved, but in the case of arsenic, an extremely high uniform electrodeposition of 86% is obtained. As is clear from the above, in the case of thallium and lead, uniform electrodeposition is hardly improved no matter how much E and F are added. On the other hand, in the case of arsenic, E
Although there is no effect when E (nitrilotriacetic acid) and F (triethylenetetramine or ethylenediamine) are mixed together, uniform electrodeposition can be dramatically improved. I understand. As described above, according to the gold plating solution according to the present invention, uniform electrodeposition is achieved and variations in plating thickness are reduced, so the amount of gold attached to the product can be reduced and the cost of the product can be reduced. It has a remarkable effect. Although the present invention has been variously explained above with reference to preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and it goes without saying that many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. It is.
