Abstract
Description
- This application is a divisional of co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 10/471,112, which is the National Stage of International Application No. PCT/JP01/09237, filed Oct. 22, 2001, which claims the benefit under 35 USC §119 of Japanese Application No. 2001-233036, filed Aug. 1, 2001.
- The present invention pertains to a method of manufacturing high purity nickel having a purity of 5N (99.999 wt %) or more through electrolytic refining employing a solution containing nickel, such high purity nickel, a sputtering target formed from the high purity nickel, and a thin film formed with the sputtering target.
- Generally speaking, high purity nickel is required to reduce, as much as possible, alkali metals, radioactive elements, transition metal elements and gas components, and is widely used particularly as a sputtering target material for forming VLSI electrodes and wiring or for forming magnetic thin films.
- Alkali metals such as Na and K easily move within the gate insulation film, and cause deterioration of the MOS-LSI interfacial quality. Radioactive elements such as U and Th cause soft errors of elements with the emitted a rays. Meanwhile, transition metal elements such as Fe also cause trouble at the interface bonding area.
- Further, gas components such as carbon and oxygen are not preferable in that they cause the generation of particles during sputtering.
- In general, when manufacturing high purity nickel of a 5N level, it is standard to refine the solution through ionic exchange or solvent extraction, and obtain high purification by further performing electrolytic winning or electrolytic refining thereto. Nevertheless, there were problems of inefficiency in that the steps in the method adopting the foregoing solvent extraction process are complex, and it is necessary to give consideration to the safety of the extract agent since a special solvent must be used.
- Although it is also possible to consider a relatively simple method of performing electrolysis employing a solution containing nickel upon manufacturing high purity nickel of a 5N level, it could not necessarily be said that the employment of processes such as the foregoing solvent extraction are efficient.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a simple method of performing electrolysis employing a solution containing nickel from nickel raw material containing a substantial amount of impurities such as iron, carbon, oxygen and so on, and providing technology on efficiently manufacturing high purity nickel having a purity of 5N (99.999 wt %) or more from such raw material.
- In order to overcome the foregoing problems, the present inventors have discovered that high purity nickel can be manufactured efficiently by eliminating impurities such as iron from anolyte of a solution containing nickel as hydroxide, and employing the impurity-free solution as catholyte.
- Based on the foregoing discovery, the present invention provides a manufacturing method of high purity nickel, wherein, upon performing electrolysis with a solution containing nickel as the electrolytic solution, anolyte is adjusted to
pH 2 to 5; impurities such as iron, cobalt and copper contained in the anolyte are eliminated by combining anyone or two or more of the methods among adding an oxidizing agent and precipitating and eliminating the impurities as hydroxide, eliminating the impurities through preliminary electrolysis, or adding Ni foil and eliminating the impurities through displacement reaction; impurities are thereafter further eliminated with a filter; and the impurity-free solution is employed as catholyte to perform the electrolysis. - The manufacturing method of high purity nickel can include the steps of partitioning an anode and cathode with a diaphragm; intermittently or consecutively extracting an anolyte; adding an oxidizing agent thereto so as to precipitate impurities such as iron as hydroxide; further eliminating impurities with a filter; and intermittently or consecutively adding the impurity-free solution to the cathode side.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the outline of the electrolysis process. - Employing an
electrolytic bath 1 shown inFIG. 1 , a massive nickelraw material 2 of a 4N level is added to ananode basket 3 and made ananode 5, and nickel or the like is employed as acathode 4 for performing electrolysis. The nickel raw material mainly contains a great amount of iron, carbon, oxygen, and so on. - Electrolysis is performed under the conditions where the bath temperature is 10 to 70° C., nickel concentration is 20 to 120 g/L, and current density is 0.1 to 10 A/dm2. The productivity deteriorates when the current density is less than 0.1 A/dm2, and nodules are generated when it exceeds 10 A/dm2, which is not preferable since the
anode 5 andcathode 4 will contact each other, and, therefore, the current density is set within the range of 0.1 to 10 A/dm2. - The
anode 5 andcathode 4 are partitioned with a diaphragm 6 and anolyte is intermittently or consecutively extracted. The anolyte is adjusted topH 2 to 5. A cathode box is separated from the outer solution (anolyte) via the diaphragm. An oxidizing agent 7 is added to the extracted anolyte in order to precipitate impurities such as iron, cobalt and copper as hydroxide. In other words, binary iron become ternary by the oxidizing agent 7, and is precipitated as Fe(OH)3. Hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid, and so on may be used as the oxidizing agent 7. - Moreover, the extracted anolyte may be added to a preliminary electrolytic bath in order to eliminate impurities such as iron, cobalt and copper through electrolysis.
- Furthermore, the extracted anolyte may be added to a displacement bath so as to perform displacement with impurities such as iron, cobalt and copper in the electrolytic solution using nickel foil, and thereby eliminating such impurities.
- Although
FIG. 1 shows a process of adding an oxidizing agent, this process 7 can be substituted with preliminary electrolysis or the displacement method in order to facilitate elimination of impurities. - Impurities can also be eliminated by respectively combining the foregoing oxidizing agent, preliminary electrolysis or displacement method.
- Impurities such as these sediments are eliminated with a
filter 8. It is preferable that activated carbon is used as the filter. The activatedcarbon filter 8 yields an effect of eliminating organic matter eluted from the container or the like in addition to impurities such as the foregoing precipitated oxides. According to the above, the concentration of iron within the electrolytic solution can be made 1 mg/L or less. - After the elimination of impurities, this solution is intermittently or consecutively introduced to the cathode side, and used as catholyte for performing electrolytic refining.
- The current efficiency will be 80 to 100%. According to the above, electrolytic nickel (deposited to the cathode) having a purity of 5N is obtained. In other words, the purity is 5N (99.999 wt %) excluding gas components, in which as impurities O: 30 wtppm or less and C, N, S, P, F, H are respectively 10 wtppm or less.
- Moreover, the electrolytic nickel obtained through electrolysis may be subjected to vacuum melting such as electron beam melting. Alkali metals such as Na and K as well as other volatile impurities and gas components can be effectively eliminated with such vacuum melting.
- Further, since ion exchange resin and solvent extraction are not used in the present invention, organic matter will not get mixed in, and it is thereby possible to suppress impurity elements arising from organic solvents.
- The present invention is now described with reference to the Examples and Comparative Examples. These Examples are merely illustrative, and the present invention shall in no way be limited thereby. In other words, the present invention shall include, within the scope of its technical spirit, any and all modes or modifications other than the Examples of this invention.

In other words, the purity was 5N (99.999 wt %) or more excluding gas components, in which as impurities O: 20 wtppm or less and C, N, S, P, F were respectively 10 wtppm or less. The foregoing results in comparison to the raw materials are shown in Table 2.
- During the steps of foregoing Example 3, anolyte was intermittently extracted, electrolysis was performed to the extracted anolyte in a preliminary electrolytic bath under a current density of 0.1 A/dm2, and impurities such as iron, cobalt and copper were eliminated under the same conditions as the displacement reaction in the displacement bath of Example 4 (combination of preliminary electrolysis and displacement reaction).
- And, with the same steps as Example 3 excluding the foregoing step, approximately 1.1 kg of electrolytic nickel was obtained. As a result, the purity was 5N or more excluding gas components, in which as impurities O: 10 wtppm or less and C, N, S, P, F were respectively 10 wtppm or less. The foregoing results in comparison to the raw materials are shown in Table 2.
