Description

銅電鍍液、電鍍銅的方法及形成銅柱的方法Copper plating solution, method of electroplating copper and method of forming copper pillar

本發明涉及一種電鍍液,且特別涉及一種銅電鍍液、利用該銅電鍍液進行電鍍銅的方法、以及利用該銅電鍍液在基板上形成銅柱的方法。The present invention relates to a plating solution, and more particularly to a copper plating solution, a method of performing copper plating using the copper plating solution, and a method of forming a copper pillar on a substrate using the copper plating solution.

電鍍銅的技術被廣泛用於製造超大積體電路(ultra-large-scale integration, ULSI)的半導體設備及印刷電路板(printed circuit boards, PCBs)的銅柱或線路。Electroplated copper technology is widely used to fabricate ultra-large-scale integration (ULSI) semiconductor devices and copper columns or traces of printed circuit boards (PCBs).

傳統的多層PCBs受限於其封裝密度,並無法符合先進產品的趨勢。為了增加封裝密度,利用微凸塊連接兩導電層的高密度連接(high-density interconnection, HDI)設計是不可或缺的。近年來,由於銅柱在良好的間距、細間距能力及低電阻上有著優越的性能,因此透過電鍍銅形成銅柱並且作為連接材料受到了相當的矚目。Traditional multilayer PCBs are limited by their package density and do not meet the trend of advanced products. In order to increase the packing density, a high-density interconnection (HDI) design using microbumps to connect two conductive layers is indispensable. In recent years, since copper pillars have superior performance in terms of good pitch, fine pitch capability, and low electrical resistance, copper pillars are formed by electroplating copper and have attracted considerable attention as a connecting material.

用於雙鑲嵌製程的銅電鍍液通常包含CuSO 4、H 2SO 4、Cl -離子及不同類型的有機添加劑等物質,以達成銅對於高縱橫比通孔的完美填充沉積。一般用來完成「超填充」(superfilling)的傳統有機添加劑包含抑制劑、加速劑及流平劑。 Copper plating baths for dual damascene processes typically contain CuSO 4 , H 2 SO 4 , Cl - ions, and various types of organic additives to achieve perfect fill deposition of copper for high aspect ratio vias. Conventional organic additives commonly used to accomplish "superfilling" include inhibitors, accelerators, and leveling agents.

分子量在4000~8000之間的聚乙二醇(Polyethylene glycol, PEG)是一般用作為抑制劑的界面活性劑。許多研究報導指出PEG的抑制效果在Cl -離子的存在下有顯著增加,這主要是涉及Cu +、PEG及Cl -之間的協同作用。使用分子量小的PEG主要是在溶液中移動速度較快,有高的質傳效果,以將Cu +較快地帶往電極以產生電鍍反應。一般的加速劑包括3-巰基-1-丙磺酸鹽(3-mercapto-1-propanesulfonate, MPS)或二硫二丙烷磺酸鹽(bis(3-sulfopropyl) disulfide, SPS),加速劑可改變在表面的電荷轉移過程,進而增加銅的沉積速率。流平劑,例如具有含氮芳香環官能基之健那綠B(Janus Green B, JGB)或苯並三唑,用以增加過電位(overpotential)並且抑制銅的沉積。 Polyethylene glycol (PEG) having a molecular weight of between 4,000 and 8,000 is a surfactant generally used as an inhibitor. Many studies have reported that the inhibitory effect of PEG is significantly increased in the presence of Cl - ion, which is mainly related to the synergy between Cu + , PEG and Cl - . The use of PEG with a small molecular weight mainly moves faster in solution and has a high quality transfer effect, so that Cu + is quickly carried to the electrode to generate an electroplating reaction. Typical accelerators include 3-mercapto-1-propanesulfonate (MPS) or bis(3-sulfopropyl) disulfide (SPS). Accelerators can be changed. The charge transfer process at the surface, in turn, increases the rate of copper deposition. A leveling agent, such as Janus Green B (JGB) or benzotriazole having a nitrogen-containing aromatic ring functional group, is used to increase overpotential and inhibit copper deposition.

進一步地透過電鍍形成銅柱時,具有平坦頂部的銅柱能夠明顯減少化學機械研磨(chemical mechanical polishing, CMP)的時間,進而降低製造成本,也有助於後端產品的良率。然而,現有技術已嘗試不同的添加劑用於形成銅柱的效果,但是能夠用於工業生產的合適濃度仍尚未明瞭。此外,若施加高電流密度以欲提高電鍍速率時,所形成的銅柱其頂部通常會產生傾斜或凹坑,並且生長不可控的節瘤。Further, when a copper pillar is formed by electroplating, the copper pillar having a flat top can significantly reduce the time of chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and contributing to the yield of the back end product. However, the prior art has attempted the effect of different additives for forming copper pillars, but the suitable concentration that can be used for industrial production is still unclear. In addition, if a high current density is applied to increase the plating rate, the formed copper pillar usually has a slope or a pit at the top thereof, and grows an uncontrollable nodule.

為了得到平坦頂部的銅柱並且防止節瘤的生長,傳統方法通常是一步一步地逐漸增加電鍍銅的電流密度。然而,這種方法卻會增加電鍍的時間。In order to obtain a flat top copper pillar and prevent the growth of nodules, the conventional method generally gradually increases the current density of the electroplated copper step by step. However, this method will increase the plating time.

此外,先前技術中,尚未有透過縮小銅晶粒以改善電鍍效果的相關文獻。Further, in the prior art, there has not been a related literature that reduces the copper crystal grain to improve the plating effect.

接著進行步驟S102,提供基板作為工作電極並且提供對電極,然後將工作電極與對電極浸泡於電鍍設備的銅電鍍液中。Next, in step S102, a substrate is provided as a working electrode and a counter electrode is provided, and then the working electrode and the counter electrode are immersed in a copper plating solution of the electroplating apparatus.

作為工作電極的基板,例如可選用以碳化矽(SiC)砂紙拋光並以去離子(deionized, DI)水清洗後的塊材銅(純度:99%,50 mm × 50 mm × 1.5 mm),而對電極則可選用鉑(Pt)線圈。在電鍍設備中,工作電極與對電極彼此之間的距離可根據需要而不受限制,例如距離可為2.5 cm。As the substrate of the working electrode, for example, bulk copper (purity: 99%, 50 mm × 50 mm × 1.5 mm) which is polished with tantalum carbide (SiC) sandpaper and cleaned with deionized (DI) water, For the counter electrode, a platinum (Pt) coil can be used.

此外,形成有遮罩的基板的來源可為市售產品,例如可為具有通孔圖案的PCB板。Further, the source of the substrate on which the mask is formed may be a commercially available product, for example, a PCB board having a through hole pattern.

接著,進行步驟S203,對工作電極及對電極施加恆定電流,在施加恆定電流的過程中擾動銅電鍍液,以開始在通孔內沉積金屬銅。Next, in step S203, a constant current is applied to the working electrode and the counter electrode, and the copper plating solution is disturbed during the application of the constant current to start depositing metallic copper in the through hole.

恆定電流的電流密度、擾動銅電鍍液的速率及擾動所產生的擾流方向皆與步驟S102完全相同。The current density of the constant current, the rate of disturbing the copper plating solution, and the direction of the disturbance generated by the disturbance are all the same as in step S102.

接著,進行步驟S204,電鍍完成後移除遮罩。Next, step S204 is performed, and the mask is removed after the plating is completed.

移除遮罩的方式可根據需要而不受限制,例如可透過不蝕刻金屬的蝕刻液來移除光阻圖案。The manner in which the mask is removed may be unrestricted as needed, for example, the photoresist pattern may be removed by an etching solution that does not etch the metal.

完成步驟S204後,則可得到在工作電極的表面形成銅柱的成品,於是完成形成銅柱的方法。藉由上述的銅電鍍液來形成銅柱,可縮短電鍍的時間,抑制銅柱的頂部產生節瘤,改善銅柱的頂部形貌,還可控制銅柱中的銅晶粒尺寸。After the completion of step S204, a finished product in which a copper pillar is formed on the surface of the working electrode is obtained, and thus a method of forming a copper pillar is completed. By forming the copper pillar by the above copper plating solution, the plating time can be shortened, the nodules on the top of the copper pillar can be suppressed, the topography of the copper pillar can be improved, and the copper grain size in the copper pillar can be controlled.

以下,透過實施例來詳細說明本發明的銅電鍍液、電鍍銅的方法及形成銅柱的方法。Hereinafter, a copper plating solution, a method of plating copper, and a method of forming a copper column of the present invention will be described in detail by way of examples.

[實施例1][Example 1]

伴隨圖1並參照表1(整理於說明書最後)的濃度提供銅電鍍液,並且將準備好的銅電鍍液中置於電鍍設備的電鍍槽中(步驟S101)。銅電鍍液包含以下濃度的物質組成: 1.2×10 5ppm的CuSO 4·5H 2O; 1.176×10 5ppm的H 2SO 4; 60 ppm的Cl -; 6 ppm的SPS; 240 ppm的PEG 20000;以及 JGB,使JGB:PEG 20000的濃度比為1:40000。 A copper plating solution is supplied with the concentration of FIG. 1 and with reference to Table 1 (finished at the end of the specification), and the prepared copper plating solution is placed in a plating bath of the plating apparatus (step S101). The copper plating bath consists of the following concentrations: 1.2 × 10 5 ppm CuSO 4 · 5H 2 O; 1.176 × 10 5 ppm H 2 SO 4 ; 60 ppm Cl - ; 6 ppm SPS; 240 ppm PEG 20000 And JGB, the concentration ratio of JGB:PEG 20000 is 1:40000.

為了方便接下來的電鍍期間觀察到SPS及PEG對電鍍電位的影響,進而了解它們在電鍍中的角色。因此,在本實施例中,PEG 20000及SPS是在施加電流時才依序加入。而在其他的實施例中,SPS及PEG 20000是在電鍍前就已經加入銅電鍍液當中。In order to facilitate the influence of SPS and PEG on the plating potential during the subsequent plating, the role of them in electroplating is understood. Therefore, in the present embodiment, PEG 20000 and SPS are sequentially added when an electric current is applied. In other embodiments, SPS and PEG 20000 have been added to the copper plating bath prior to plating.

接著,將經過拋光及清洗處理的塊材銅(純度:99%,50 mm × 50 mm × 1.5 mm)及Pt線圈置入準備好的電鍍槽中,浸泡於銅電鍍液中。將塊材銅及Pt線圈分別作為工作電極及對電極,兩者的間隔距離為2.5 cm(步驟S102)。Next, the polished and cleaned bulk copper (purity: 99%, 50 mm × 50 mm × 1.5 mm) and the Pt coil were placed in a prepared plating bath and immersed in a copper plating solution. The bulk copper and the Pt coil were respectively used as the working electrode and the counter electrode, and the distance between them was 2.5 cm (step S102).

接著,對兩電極施加5 A·dm -2的恆定電流密度5分鐘以開始進行電鍍。在電鍍的期間,同時以150 rpm的速率擾動銅電鍍液,且所產生的擾流方向與塊材銅的表面呈45度角(步驟S103)。 Next, a constant current density of 5 A·dm -2 was applied to both electrodes for 5 minutes to start plating. During the electroplating, the copper plating solution was simultaneously disturbed at a rate of 150 rpm, and the generated spoiler direction was at an angle of 45 degrees to the surface of the bulk copper (step S103).

電鍍的期間同時觀察加入SPS及PEG對電鍍電位的影響。電位與電鍍時間的關係圖如圖3所示。During the electroplating period, the effects of adding SPS and PEG on the plating potential were observed. The relationship between potential and plating time is shown in Figure 3.

經由上述步驟,於是在塊材銅的表面上沉積一層銅膜層。藉由直接觀察法來觀察銅膜層在巨觀上的表面狀態,並藉由場發掃描式電子顯微鏡(FE-SEM; JEOL JSM-6700F,操作電壓3 kv)來觀察銅膜層在微觀狀態的表面形貌以及銅晶粒的結晶大小。觀察結果如圖4、圖5所示,其將在後面作進一步詳述。Through the above steps, a copper film layer is deposited on the surface of the bulk copper. The surface state of the copper film on the macroscopic view was observed by direct observation, and the copper film layer was observed in the microscopic state by field scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM; JEOL JSM-6700F, operating voltage 3 kv). Surface morphology and crystal size of copper grains. The observation results are shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, which will be described in further detail later.

首先,提供根據表2(整理於說明書最後)所示的SPS及PEG 20000濃度配製銅電鍍液,並且將準備好的銅電鍍液中置於電鍍設備的電鍍槽中(步驟S201),銅電鍍液包含以下的濃度組成: 1.2×10 5ppm的CuSO 4·5H 2O; 1.176×10 5ppm的H 2SO 4; 60 ppm的Cl -; 9 ppm的SPS; 600 ppm的PEG 20000;以及 JGB,使JGB:PEG 20000的濃度比為1:40000。 First, a copper plating solution is prepared according to the SPS and PEG 20000 concentrations shown in Table 2 (finished at the end of the specification), and the prepared copper plating solution is placed in a plating tank of the plating apparatus (step S201), the copper plating solution Contains the following concentration composition: 1.2 × 10 5 ppm CuSO 4 · 5H 2 O; 1.176 × 10 5 ppm H 2 SO 4 ; 60 ppm Cl - ; 9 ppm SPS; 600 ppm PEG 20000; and JGB, The concentration ratio of JGB:PEG 20000 was 1:40000.

接著,將PCB板(具有直徑120 μm、深170 μm的通孔圖案遮罩)及Pt線圈置入準備好的電鍍槽中,浸泡於銅電鍍液中(步驟S202)。將PCB板及Pt線圈分別作為工作電極及對電極,兩者的間隔距離為2.5 cm。Next, a PCB board (having a through-hole pattern mask having a diameter of 120 μm and a depth of 170 μm) and a Pt coil were placed in the prepared plating bath and immersed in the copper plating solution (step S202). The PCB board and the Pt coil are respectively used as the working electrode and the counter electrode, and the distance between them is 2.5 cm.

接著,對兩電極施加7.5 A·dm -2的恆定電流密度5分鐘以開始進行電鍍。在電鍍的期間,同時以60 rpm的速率擾動銅電鍍液,且所產生的擾流方向與塊材銅的表面呈45度角(步驟S203)。 Next, a constant current density of 7.5 A·dm -2 was applied to both electrodes for 5 minutes to start plating. During the electroplating, the copper plating solution was simultaneously disturbed at a rate of 60 rpm, and the generated spoiler direction was at an angle of 45 degrees to the surface of the bulk copper (step S203).

The structure of the copper pillar was observed by SEM, and the results were shown in the SEM image of FIG.

[實施例21][Example 21]

如同實施例20相同的方法進行電鍍,如表2所示,其差異僅在於電流密度提高至9 A·dm -2Electroplating was carried out in the same manner as in Example 20, as shown in Table 2, except that the current density was increased to 9 A·dm -2 .

[實驗結果][Experimental results]

圖3為在電鍍期間電位與反應時間的曲線圖,用以說明利用圖1之電鍍銅的方法時,依序加入240 ppm PEG 20000及6 ppm SPS後電位與反應時間的對應關係。Figure 3 is a graph of potential versus reaction time during electroplating to illustrate the relationship between potential and reaction time after 240 ppm of PEG 20000 and 6 ppm SPS were sequentially added using the method of electroplating copper of Figure 1.

如圖3所示,當PEG 20000注入銅電鍍液中時,電位迅速地朝負電位偏移後維持在穩定狀態。然後,當SPS加入銅電鍍液時電位則朝正電位偏移。根據此電位上的變化可歸納出PEG 20000具有抑制效果且SPS具有加速效果。當電位呈現在穩定狀態,其代表電流密度固定,於是電鍍反應穩定地發生在塊材銅的表面,進而形成表面平整的銅膜層。As shown in FIG. 3, when PEG 20000 was injected into the copper plating solution, the potential was rapidly shifted toward the negative potential and maintained in a stable state. Then, when the SPS is added to the copper plating solution, the potential is shifted toward the positive potential. According to this change in potential, it can be concluded that PEG 20000 has an inhibitory effect and SPS has an acceleration effect. When the potential is in a stable state, it represents a constant current density, so that the electroplating reaction occurs stably on the surface of the bulk copper, thereby forming a flat copper film layer.

圖4顯示實施例1-16經過電鍍後銅膜層形成在塊材銅上的照片。如圖4所示,銅膜層的亮度由SPS的濃度主導:在SPS為3 ppm時可到霧面的銅層,當SPS的濃度提高到6至12 ppm的範圍時可形成光亮的銅層。此外,隨著PEG的濃度增加,銅膜層的亮度輕微地增加。PEG的濃度增加至780 ppm時,僅在利用12 ppm的SPS觀察到光亮的銅膜層表面。光亮的銅膜層表面即代表銅膜層表面更佳地均勻平整。Figure 4 shows a photograph of the copper film layer formed on the bulk copper after electroplating of Examples 1-16. As shown in Figure 4, the brightness of the copper layer is dominated by the concentration of SPS: a copper layer that reaches the matte surface at an SPS of 3 ppm, and a bright copper layer when the SPS concentration is increased to a range of 6 to 12 ppm. . Further, as the concentration of PEG increases, the brightness of the copper film layer slightly increases. When the concentration of PEG was increased to 780 ppm, the surface of the bright copper film layer was observed only with SPS of 12 ppm. The surface of the bright copper film layer means that the surface of the copper film layer is more evenly flat.

圖5為每一個樣品經過FE-SEM拍攝的SEM影像。如圖5所示,可看出隨著SPS及PEG濃度的增加,銅的晶粒尺寸縮小。當SPS及PEG的濃度分別大於6及420 ppm時,銅晶粒尺寸顯著地縮小。然而,隨著SPS增加到12 ppm時觀察到小細孔,其主要是因為氫氣的產生。Figure 5 is an SEM image of each sample taken by FE-SEM. As shown in FIG. 5, it can be seen that as the concentration of SPS and PEG increases, the grain size of copper shrinks. When the concentrations of SPS and PEG were greater than 6 and 420 ppm, respectively, the copper grain size was significantly reduced. However, small pores were observed as the SPS increased to 12 ppm, mainly due to the generation of hydrogen.

當SPS及PEG的濃度分別為9 ppm及420 ppm時,在圖5的SEM影像中,可觀察到具有尺寸約在10 ± 5 nm的銅晶粒形成密集填充的表面。When the concentrations of SPS and PEG were 9 ppm and 420 ppm, respectively, in the SEM image of Fig. 5, it was observed that copper crystal grains having a size of about 10 ± 5 nm formed a densely packed surface.

當銅晶粒尺寸越小,則能夠彼此更緊密集填充形成緻密的銅膜層,同時減少銅晶粒之間所造成的空隙缺陷,因此,提高了銅膜層的在結構上的強度,可減少因碰撞或震動而造成銅膜層的損壞(例如,部分脫落或產生裂痕),於是增加了銅膜層的良率。When the copper grain size is smaller, it can be densely packed with each other to form a dense copper film layer, and at the same time, the void defects caused between the copper crystal grains are reduced, thereby improving the structural strength of the copper film layer. Reduce the damage of the copper layer caused by collision or vibration (for example, partial peeling or cracking), thus increasing the yield of the copper layer.

根據圖4、圖5及上述的說明,銅膜層的品質可由銅膜層的亮度及銅晶粒尺寸來評價。其中,PEG 20000的濃度在420 ppm~600 ppm且SPS的濃度在6~9 ppm有光亮的銅膜層表面及較小尺寸的銅晶粒。4, 5 and the above description, the quality of the copper film layer can be evaluated by the brightness of the copper film layer and the copper grain size. Among them, PEG 20000 has a concentration of 420 ppm to 600 ppm and a SPS concentration of 6 to 9 ppm has a bright copper film surface and a small size of copper crystal grains.

進一步,電流密度是控制電流速率的關鍵參數,即,高電流密度可使電鍍速率加快,進而縮短製程的時間。因此,再透過實施例17來驗證高電流密度下的銅膜層的品質。Further, the current density is a key parameter for controlling the current rate, that is, the high current density can speed up the plating rate, thereby shortening the process time. Therefore, the quality of the copper film layer at a high current density was verified by Example 17.

圖6(a)顯示實施例17在電流密度為7.5 A·dm -2下所形成的銅膜層照片及節瘤的SEM放大影像。照片上的黑點即為節瘤,並且可觀察到僅有少量節瘤產生在塊材銅的表面上。 Fig. 6(a) is a SEM enlarged image of a copper film layer and a nodule formed in Example 17 at a current density of 7.5 A·dm -2 . The black spots on the photo are nodules, and it can be observed that only a small number of nodules are produced on the surface of the bulk copper.

相同地,在420 ppm~780 ppm且SPS的濃度在6~12 ppm的範圍內,在7.5 A·dm -2的電流密度下也可以得到只有少量節瘤產生的銅層(未示出)。 Similarly, at a concentration of 420 ppm to 780 ppm and a concentration of SPS of 6 to 12 ppm, a copper layer (not shown) having a small amount of nodulation can be obtained at a current density of 7.5 A·dm -2 .

實施例17證實了可在7.5 A·dm -2的電流密度下形成了節瘤被抑制的銅膜層。銅晶粒的尺寸如圖6(b)所示,比在5 A·dm -2的電流密度下形成的銅晶粒的尺寸要大。因此,在高電流密度的電鍍過程中,可再進一步縮小銅晶粒的尺寸。 Example 17 demonstrates that a copper film layer with suppressed nodules can be formed at a current density of 7.5 A·dm -2 . The size of the copper crystal grains is as shown in Fig. 6(b), which is larger than the size of the copper crystal grains formed at a current density of 5 A·dm -2 . Therefore, in the high current density plating process, the size of the copper crystal grains can be further reduced.

關於縮小銅晶粒尺寸,調整擾動銅電鍍液的擾動速率能有效地控制銅晶粒尺寸,其結果可藉由實施例17-19來證實。調整擾動速率的實施例17-19其銅膜層的SEM影像分別對應至圖7(a)至圖7(c),可以觀察到圖7(c)的銅晶粒尺寸為三者中最小,因此證實了隨著擾動速率降低,銅晶粒的尺寸也隨之縮小。With regard to reducing the copper grain size, adjusting the disturbance rate of the disturbed copper plating solution can effectively control the copper grain size, and the results can be confirmed by Examples 17-19. The SEM images of the copper film layers of Examples 17-19 for adjusting the disturbance rate correspond to FIG. 7(a) to FIG. 7(c), respectively, and it can be observed that the copper grain size of FIG. 7(c) is the smallest among the three. Therefore, it was confirmed that as the disturbance rate decreases, the size of the copper crystal grains also shrinks.

為了說明擾動速率對於銅晶粒的尺寸的影響,圖8模擬了銅膜層形成在塊材銅上的生長機制。首先,圖8(a)示出一個簡單的電鍍裝置100,電鍍裝置100的電鍍槽內分別設有工作電極1及對電極2並且裝滿電鍍液。接著如圖8(b)所示,在電鍍的過程,Cu +離子3與PEG分子4的醚官能基配位,並且與Cl -離子5連接以形成複合物(即,PEG-Cu +-Cl -複合物)。若PEG-Cu +-Cl -複合物朝工作電極1移動並且吸附在電極表面時形成銅晶粒6時,則可抑制較大的銅晶粒(即,節瘤7)產生。然而,PEG分子4的分子量明顯地大於其他添加劑,移動速度緩慢,如果在電鍍期間用力擾動電鍍液,會導致PEG-Cu +-Cl -複合物無法完全吸附在工作電極的表面上,於是降低抑制效果。此外,還可能因為擾動使PEG的分子長鏈纏繞,也導致抑制效果降低。 To illustrate the effect of the perturbation rate on the size of the copper grains, Figure 8 simulates the growth mechanism of the copper film layer formed on the bulk copper. First, FIG. 8(a) shows a simple plating apparatus 100 in which a working electrode 1 and a counter electrode 2 are respectively provided in a plating tank and filled with a plating solution. Next, as shown in FIG. 8(b), during the electroplating process, Cu + ion 3 is coordinated to the ether functional group of the PEG molecule 4, and is bonded to the Cl ion 5 to form a complex (ie, PEG-Cu + -Cl). - Complex). When the PEG-Cu + -Cl - complex moves toward the working electrode 1 and forms copper crystal 6 when adsorbed on the surface of the electrode, generation of a large copper crystal grain (i.e., nodule 7) can be suppressed. However, the molecular weight of PEG molecule 4 is significantly larger than other additives, and the moving speed is slow. If the plating solution is strongly disturbed during electroplating, the PEG-Cu + -Cl - complex cannot be completely adsorbed on the surface of the working electrode, thus reducing the inhibition. effect. In addition, it is also possible that the long chain of the molecules of the PEG is entangled by the disturbance, and the suppression effect is also lowered.

由此可知,PEG的抑制效應容易被液體的流動所影響。針對PEG 20000,較低的擾動速率可獲得較小尺寸的銅晶粒。From this, it can be seen that the inhibitory effect of PEG is easily affected by the flow of the liquid. For PEG 20000, a lower disturbance rate results in a smaller size copper grain.

此外,一般是將擾動電鍍液所產生的擾流方向與工作電極表面呈垂直,以讓PEG分子4直向工作電極表面移動。然而,在此情況下容易增加多個PEG分子4彼此纏繞的機會,因此,當擾流方向與工作電極表面呈10~80度的夾角時,可減少PEG分子4垂直於工作電極的移動速度分量並增加平行於工作電極的移動速度分量,藉此可減少PEG分子4彼此間的纏繞,進而提高抑制節瘤產生的效果。In addition, the disturbing flow direction generated by the disturbing plating solution is generally perpendicular to the surface of the working electrode to move the PEG molecules 4 straight to the surface of the working electrode. However, in this case, it is easy to increase the chance that a plurality of PEG molecules 4 are entangled with each other. Therefore, when the turbulence direction is at an angle of 10 to 80 degrees with the surface of the working electrode, the moving velocity component of the PEG molecule 4 perpendicular to the working electrode can be reduced. The moving speed component parallel to the working electrode is increased, whereby the entanglement of the PEG molecules 4 with each other can be reduced, thereby improving the effect of suppressing the occurrence of nodules.

進一步,將銅電鍍液用於形成銅柱。銅柱的SEM影像如圖9所示,圖9(a)為具有高度約60 ± 3 um 銅柱陣列。在圖9(b)的高解析影像中,更可觀察到銅柱的頂部具有平滑的平面。Further, a copper plating solution is used to form a copper pillar. The SEM image of the copper pillar is shown in Fig. 9, and Fig. 9(a) is an array of copper pillars having a height of about 60 ± 3 um. In the high-resolution image of Fig. 9(b), it is more observed that the top of the copper pillar has a smooth plane.

在形成銅柱的過程中,通孔底部的液體流動速率低於外部的液體流動速率,低的液體流動速率提供了PEG-Cu +-Cl -複合物能夠完全吸附在通孔底部的電極表面的環境。因此,在電鍍期間,可在通孔中生長具有緊密填充表面的平坦頂部的銅柱。 During the formation of the copper column, the liquid flow rate at the bottom of the through hole is lower than the external liquid flow rate, and the low liquid flow rate provides that the PEG-Cu + -Cl - composite can be completely adsorbed on the electrode surface at the bottom of the through hole. surroundings. Thus, during electroplating, a flat top copper pillar with a tightly packed surface can be grown in the via.

因此,透過本發明形成銅柱的方法,可以在7.5 A·dm -2的高電流密度進行電鍍,縮短了製程時間。由於所形成的銅柱具有平坦的頂部,於是可以不需要導入CMP製程使銅柱頂部平坦化,節省了生產成本。 Therefore, by the method of forming a copper pillar according to the present invention, electroplating can be performed at a high current density of 7.5 A·dm -2 , which shortens the process time. Since the formed copper pillar has a flat top, it is possible to planarize the top of the copper pillar without introducing a CMP process, thereby saving production costs.

進一步地,在實施例22中,當電流密度提高至9 A·dm -2時,銅柱的頂部開始出現凸塊(未示出),但仍然可以得到銅晶粒填充密度高的銅柱,電鍍時間也大幅縮短。 Further, in Embodiment 22, when the current density is increased to 9 A·dm -2 , a bump (not shown) starts to appear at the top of the copper pillar, but a copper pillar having a high copper grain filling density can still be obtained. The plating time is also greatly shortened.

根據以上實施例的驗證,本發明之一種銅電鍍液、電鍍銅的方法以及形成銅柱的方法。相較於使用了PEG 4000~8000的傳統銅電鍍液,本發明選用分子量更高的PEG 20000,在提高的電流密度下進行電鍍,縮短了電鍍的時間,並且抑制節瘤在表面的形成。According to the verification of the above embodiment, a copper plating solution, a method of electroplating copper, and a method of forming a copper pillar of the present invention. Compared with the conventional copper plating solution using PEG 4000-8000, the present invention selects PEG 20000 with higher molecular weight, performs electroplating at an increased current density, shortens the plating time, and inhibits the formation of nodules on the surface.

此外,透過調整PEG和SPS的濃度,藉此來控制銅膜層中的銅晶粒尺寸,以改善銅膜層的填充密度,可更進一步改善銅膜層的品質、增加銅膜層的良率。In addition, by adjusting the concentration of PEG and SPS, thereby controlling the copper grain size in the copper film layer to improve the filling density of the copper film layer, the quality of the copper film layer can be further improved, and the yield of the copper film layer can be further improved. .

再者,利用本發明的銅電鍍液來形成銅柱,更可以改善銅柱的品質及頂部形貌。其中,在直接形成具有平坦頂部的銅柱的條件下,還可省略使銅柱頂部平坦化的CMP製程,節省了生產的成本。Furthermore, by using the copper plating solution of the present invention to form a copper pillar, the quality and topography of the copper pillar can be improved. Among them, under the condition that the copper pillar having a flat top is directly formed, the CMP process for flattening the top of the copper pillar can be omitted, which saves the production cost.
