Description of the Invention [Technical Fields of the Invention] The disclosed embodiments relate generally to methods and apparatus for applying metal structures, and more particularly to the surface of workpieces for depositing lead-free solder resist patterned films Methods in size patterns and more particularly with respect to apparatus for electric shovel tin-silver alloy solder bumps. [Prior Art] The semiconductor industry has been working towards the removal of errors in electronic products under the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS). The industry provides for lead-free packaging of "green" consumer electronics products. Electrodeposition of lead-free solders patterned by masking is a technique for lifting bumps (join spacing less than about 300 microns) or advanced electronically produced microbumps. Alloys of tin (Sn) and silver (Ag) are the main candidate metals. In essence, pure tin has many properties of soldering agents, such as fatigue resistance, thermal cycling, and ductile mechanical properties. The industry has found that tin solder whiskers in pure tin solders are grown to form a connecting solder for advanced packaging. application. It has been found that the addition of less than about 1% and 4% by weight of Ag significantly reduces the likelihood of solder S η whisker formation. Because of the large electrochemical reduction potential difference between tin (-〇·1 3 volts S Η E ) and $ + 0.799 volts SHE), the tin-silver alloy (SnAg) solder plating is substantially pure tin-lead-tin (PbSn) plating is more difficult. The reduction potential difference causes the solution to the workpiece to be applied to the coating equipment, and the method and requirements are faster, such as the use of the tight-fitting packaging, which should be the same, but for the non-quantitative silver, in the joint §. (Knowledge plating or medium Ag + 201241242 Ions spontaneously react with metal Sn and/or tin ions or Sn + 2 is Sn + 2 or Sn + 4, thereby immersing the metal surface. Similarly, Ag + ions in the plating solution can be submerged on 'such as nickel Or copper. Chemical suppliers have developed Ag+ ions to promote their reduction potential close to Sn + 2, and Ag+ ion determination. When electroplating SnAg lead-free soldering | when configured, 'organic Ag + ionized in electroplating solution Immersed on the under bump metal (UBM) is nickel or copper. This unnecessary immersion deposition can cause void defects that can cause mechanical and electrical package bonding wafer failure after the reflow soldering gap. An alternative to n Ag soldering to form a lead-free bump to solve the problem of facing the electronics industry toward eliminating all lead. In addition, the industry needs to develop a lead-tin (PbSn) plating bump instead of a plated bump structure. Liga. The cost of Ag-stacking agents in commercially available SnAg plating chemistries, the typical cost of SnAg plated bumps is PbSn. The current method of electrodepositing SnAg bumps includes manufacturing equipment, such as U.S. Patent Application 1 1 / 8 4 0 5 7 4 8 The method of neutralization is incorporated herein, and the method of controlling the system to ensure that the solder metal is constant in the deposition process requires SnAg plating, and the arrangement between the expensive chemical and the underlying SnAg is disclosed. Reliable interface. (Sn + 2 ) oxidized Sn A g deposited on S η immersed in other gold molecules, so that the plating solution ill in the UBM junctions does not eliminate unnecessary possibilities, typical UBM / The SnAg interface has been observed, and so on. Therefore, many times the economical side of the lead-on-lead (SnAg) electrical structure and other high-bumps of the reliable integrated circuit product of the metal underlying metal need to be electroplated. It is made up of commercially available electroplating equipment and alloys. Therefore, it is minimized, and 201241242. [Invention and Contents] Although the embodiment will be described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, it should be understood. The embodiment can be embodied in a number of alternative embodiments. Further, any suitable element or material size, shape or type can be used. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for electrodeposited lead-free solder bumps and under bump metal (UBM) A method of configuring a reliable interface between them. Referring now to Figure 1, a cross section of a single bump of a workpiece surface of a workpiece to be electrodeposited is shown. The electrical contact element 101 is substantially surrounded by an insulating film 1 ,, the feature types The semi-periodic array is disposed on the integrated circuit workpiece. For example, a 300 mm wafer may have 1,000 to 100,000 electrical contact elements distributed on the surface. Note that any suitable workpiece or substrate can be configured, such as gallium arsenide or others. The workpiece is coated with a seed layer 1 0 2 and then coated with a photoresist 1〇4, which is photopatterned to provide openings, such as nickel (Ni) or copper (Cu) or a series of Ni and Cu under bump metal 106 electrodeposition. Solder metal 120 is electrodeposited onto lower bump metal 106 using the same photoresist pattern mask layer 104. For example, U.S. Patent No. 7,012,333, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety in the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the Referring now to Figure 2, there is shown another prior art method of configuring lead-free bumps, such as SnAg or SnAgCu alloys, in which a more expensive substantially pure metal layer 131 is deposited on the under bump metal prior to deposition of substantially pure tin layer 130. U.S. Patent No. 6,596,62, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety by reference in its entirety in the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the Snl30 is proportional to the Ag/Cu 1 3 1 coating layer 106, and the lead-free SnAgCu bumps are formed with about 3.5% Ag and about 0.6% Cu and a difference in Sn. Referring now to Figure 3, potential disadvantages of these prior art methods will be discussed, with Figure 3 showing the cross section of the solder bumps after the thermal reflow procedure. The hot reflow process advantageously stabilizes the solder bump structure prior to subsequent processing. After the electrodeposition step, the photoresist 104 (not shown) is removed and the seed layer 102 is etched away except by the lower bump metal 106 protection. Subsequent heat treatment of the wafer in a so-called reflow procedure step. Briefly, the reflow comprises heating the workpiece with a controlled gas such that the tin oxide is removed substantially prior to melting of the solder, which may occur between about 221 ° C and about 23 2 ° C for the SnAg alloy; The AgAg eutectic composed of %Ag is about 221 °C, and the melting point of pure Sn is about 232 °C. When the phase of the solder changes from solid to liquid, the surface tension causes the volume of the metal to change shape, and the surface tension of the liquid decreases. The surface area is converted to a substantially spherical shape 126 with a minimum surface area. Also occurring at elevated temperatures is the formation of an intermetallic compound (IMC) layer 128, which is a mixture of many alloy phases, such as in the Cu/Sn interface, which will be a combination of Cu5Sn6 and Cu3Sn alloy phases. Also occurring at elevated temperatures are gasification and degassing of different organic molecules which can be incorporated into the solder during the deposition process. The elevated temperature program is stopped by cooling the wafer or substrate, causing the solder to solidify, wherein the solid body solder comprises a plurality of sub-micron sized grains, which may have different sizes and compositions. For example, U.S. Patent No. 6,805,9,74, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, in its entirety, the disclosure of the entire disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of the disclosure of The fine crystal grains of the grains and Ag3Sn small crystal grains are dispersed. The importance of repeatable and well-controlled intermetallic structure (IMC) between the under bump metal (UBM) and the solder, as well as the well-controlled grain structure in the solder, can affect the mechanical and electronic migration of the solder bumps. Reliability. In addition, during solder nucleation and growth cooling, the grain structure is strongly affected by the formed IMC. It is advantageous to inhibit Ag exiting the lower bump metal interface during the initial phase of reflow, as shown by comparing Figures 4 and 5, which show interface regions 232, 242 with respect to the under bump metal and solder. Optical microscope images 230, 240 of the overlapped and polished bumps, wherein the light and dark colors correspond to solders, UBMs, and IMCs of different materials, with extremely dark spots being voids. For example, a single step of electrodepositing SnAg as shown in Figure 4, using a nickel UBM layer and about 2.5% Ag alloy, can frequently occur with interfacial voids 234, 236, 238 in the region between UBM and SnAg. By contrast, as shown in Figure 5, the disclosed embodiment re-uses the second layer of the first layer of tin-silver, which is substantially pure tin, without the occurrence of such interfacial voids. Substantially pure Sn layers/grooves may be referred to as, for example, commercially available substantially pure Sn materials or tanks' such as available from Dow Chemical®. Referring now to Figure 6, a single bump structure cross section is shown. A workpiece 205 having a structure 252 substantially surrounding the electrical contact element 101 surrounded by the insulating film 100 is prepared, wherein the feature types are arranged in a semi-periodic array, wherein the workpiece is coated with a seed layer 102 and then coated with a photoresist 1 04, which is patterned by light to provide openings, such as nickel (Ni) or copper (Cu) or a series of Ni and -9 - 201241242

)因爲失控之Ag沉浸沉積於Sn之問題,Ag電沉積於 Sn表面難以控制,藉此產生不穩定Sn/Ag介面,其將造 成沉稂步驟與熱處理回流步驟之間之產品控制問題; (2 )在熱回流程序期間,實質上純A g未熔化,而是溶 解於Sn中’因此Ag金屬層在熔化之錫焊接劑球上不穩 -10- 201241242 定’在Sn熔化與Ag完全溶解於Sn之間之期間四處漂 流。然而’爲於其中形成金屬間層之回流程序期間將Ag 直接應用於UBM材料之上,Sn與UBM之間Ag的出現造 成金屬間層中空隙形成,且該些空隙減少焊接劑接合之可 靠性。因爲SnAg材料較Sll材料昂貴許多倍,本揭露之 實施例提供若干實質上純Ag及實質上純Sn方法之經濟 效益’例如減少焊接劑沉積成本達約50%或更多,而無減 損焊接劑接合可靠性之相關缺點。 現在參照圖7’顯示適用於本揭露之實施例之製造程 序的市售晶圓電沉積機。所揭露之實施例可以市售電沉積

It has been considered to apply substantially pure silver (Ag) and substantially pure tin (Sn) to facilitate the manufacture of SnAg alloys, or even to apply Ag, followed by Cu, followed by Sn, which is then reflowed to form a SnAgCu alloy, due to substantially pure Ag and substantially Pure Sn plating materials are cheaper than SnAg alloy plating, and this method has a special cost advantage. When a combination of substantially pure metal layers is used, for the second reason, more precious metals need to be applied before the application of substantially pure tin: (1) It is difficult to deposit Ag on the Sn surface because of the problem of uncontrolled Ag immersion deposition on Sn. Control, thereby creating an unstable Sn/Ag interface that will cause product control problems between the sinking step and the heat treatment reflow step; (2) during the hot reflux procedure, substantially pure Ag does not melt but dissolves In Sn, 'The Ag metal layer is therefore unstable on the molten tin solder ball. -10- 201241242 The 'flows around the period during the melting of Sn and the complete dissolution of Ag between Sn. However, 'Ag is applied directly to the UBM material during the reflow process in which the intermetallic layer is formed. The presence of Ag between Sn and UBM causes void formation in the intermetallic layer, and these voids reduce the reliability of solder joint bonding. . Because SnAg materials are many times more expensive than Sll materials, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide the economics of a number of substantially pure Ag and substantially pure Sn processes, such as reducing solder deposition costs by up to about 50% or more, without loss soldering agents. Related disadvantages of joint reliability. A commercially available wafer electrodeposition machine suitable for use in the manufacturing process of the embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to Figure 7'. The disclosed embodiment can be implemented by a commercially available electrodeposition machine "Stratus" such as the NEXX system of Billerica MA. System 200 can include International Application WO 2005/042804 A2, issued May 12, 2005 under the Patent Cooperation Agreement. The disclosed features are incorporated herein by reference. The system 200 shown in the block diagram is formed as an exemplary system. Note that more or fewer modules can be configured with different configurations and locations. The industrial electrodeposition machine 200 can include a load port 206 whereby the previously patterned photoresist patterned substrate is inserted and withdrawn from the system. The loading station 204 can have a robotic arm that transfers the substrate 278 to the substrate carriers 27, 2, 72, 274, and then transfers to the modules 210, 212, 214, 216' 260, 262 by the transmitter 28 0, 264, 266 and continuous processing. The series may include a copper (Cu) electrodeposition module 216, a nickel (Ni) electrodeposition module 214, a tin (Sn) electrodeposition module 212, and a tin-silver (SnAg) electrodeposition module 210. The substrate can then be returned to the loading station 204, the substrate unloaded and delivered through the substrate cleaning module 202 and returned to the load port 206. -11 - 201241242 Cleaning modules 260, 262, 264, 266 can be configured using a cleaning step such as deionized water, for example, before and after the electrodeposition step. In another aspect, modules 260, 262, 264, and 266 can be flush or heat treated modules and cleaning modules. The controller 220 can be disposed in each station or module to sequentially arrange programs and/or transmitters in the station or module. The system controller 2 22 can be configured in the system 200 for the station or program module. The substrates are arranged in order and coordinate system actions such as host communication, batch loading and unloading, or other actions required by control system 200. Controller 222 can be programmed to support substantially pure tin plating in a program module 212 configured to have a plating bath containing a suitable metal ion (e.g., as described above). It should be noted that the program module 212 may include a pure tin anode or an insoluble platinum-titanium (Pt-Ti) anode. Controller 222 can be further programmed to flush the workpiece in a rinse tank configured to support flushing substantially all of the substantially pure tin plating chemistry from the workpiece. The controller 222 can be further programmed to plate the workpiece with tin and silver in a program module 210 that is configured to support a plating bath with a suitable metal ion (e.g., as described above). It should be noted that the program module can include, for example, an insoluble Pt-Ti anode or any other suitable anode. Controller 222 or any other suitable controller may be further programmed to heat treat the workpiece in a heat treatment module configured to heat treat the workpiece, resulting in a tin and tin-silver layer mixing and forming a substantially uniform tin-silver alloy feature. The controller 222 can be further programmed to deposit copper on the workpiece with the copper electrodeposition module 2 16 . The controller 222 can be further programmed to deposit nickel on the workpiece with the nickel electrodeposition module 2 14 . Controller 222 can be further programmed to clean the workpiece with cleaning module 260. In the illustrated embodiment, four electrodeposition modules 2 1 0, -12-201241242 212, 214, 216 and four cleaning modules 260, 262, 264, 266 are shown. However, it should be noted that more or fewer modules can be configured. By way of example, only tin (Sn) electrodeposition modules and tin-silver (SnAg) electrodeposition modules can be configured. For further examples, different tools with tin (Sn) electrodeposition modules and tin-silver (SnAg) electrodeposition modules can be configured. For further examples, multiple re-deposition modules can be configured to allow multiple workpieces to be processed in parallel, increasing system throughput. Therefore, all such changes, substitutions, and modifications to the system configuration are included. Referring now to Figure 8, a block diagram of an exemplary electrodeposition module 2 1 0 is shown. The electrodeposition module 210 can be combined with the module features of the "Stratus" of the NEXX system of Billerica MA, and can be combined with the international application WO 2 00 5/04 issued under the Patent Cooperation Agreement on May 12, 2005. The features disclosed in 2 8 04 A2 are incorporated herein by reference. The exemplary electrodeposition module has a housing 300 that contains a fluid 302, wherein fluid 032 can flow through the housing 300, and the fluid 032 therein can be a circulating electrolyte. The workpiece stage 272 can be removed from the housing 300 by the conveyor 280 and can accommodate the substrate 278. Although the two substrates are shown, the stage can accommodate more or fewer substrates. The anodes 310, 312 are configured with shield plates 314, 316 and paddle or fluid agitation assemblies 318 and 320. Note that more or fewer components can be configured. For example, a single anode can be configured. By way of further example, the anode can be part of the outer casing 300, or the shield plates 314, 316 and the paddle or fluid agitation assemblies 318 and 320 can be omitted. The depicted procedure can be performed, for example, as further illustrated by device 200. As can be appreciated, the controller 220 can be programmed to affect the program at least in part in an automatic manner from -13 to 201241242. Referring now to Figure 9, an exemplary program flow diagram 400 is shown showing a method of forming lead-free solder bumps on a workpiece. According to an exemplary embodiment, for example, at block 402, the workpiece in the apparatus can be configured with a conductive seed layer covered by a patterned photoresist mask having a plurality of openings. At block 404, the workpiece can be immersed in a tin ore tank containing, for example, a substantially pure tin anode or an insoluble uranium-titanium anode. In block 406, an electrical contact can be made to the seed layer and a potential is applied between the workpiece and the anode to cause deposition of substantially pure tin, such as depositing tin between about 2 microns and about 150 microns in the photoresist pattern feature. In block 408, the workpiece can be moved to the rinse tank. In block 410, all substantially pure tin plating chemistry from the enamel of the workpiece can be flushed. At block 412, the workpiece is removed from the rinse bath and, at block 414, immersed in a plating bath containing tin and silver ions and an anode (e.g., an insoluble uranium-titanium anode).
