  • a paddle in order to strengthen the stirring of the electroplating solution, a paddle can be installed at a position opposite to the substrate. During electroplating, the paddle reciprocates in a direction parallel to the substrate to enhance the stirring of the electroplating solution. Since the propeller itself blocks the electric field, the electric field can only pass through the gap between the propeller and the propeller. Therefore, the area on the substrate facing the propeller will have a "shadow", that is, the ratio of the amount of electricity received at the "shadow" Less power is received in places that are not “shaded”. If each point on the substrate is affected by the "shadow" to a different degree, and the amount of electricity received by each point is not equal, the plating height of the entire substrate will not be uniform.

本发明的较佳实施方式
为详细说明本发明的技术内容、构造特征、所达成目的及效果,下面将结合实施例并配合图式予以详细说明。
在电镀装置中,为了加强电镀液的搅动,可在与基板相对的位置安装桨叶,电镀时,桨叶沿着与基板平行的方向进行往复运动,以加强电镀液的搅动。由于桨叶本身对电场有遮挡,只有桨叶与桨叶之间的空隙处才能使电场通过,因此基板上正对桨叶的区域会有“阴影”,即“阴影”处接收到的电量比非“阴影”处接收到的电量少。若基板上各点受“阴影”的影响程度不同,各点接收到的电量不相等,则整个基板的电镀高度就不均匀。
由于电镀过程中,基板是旋转的,因此“阴影”造成的结果就表现为基板表面的同心环,即沿基板径向上的电镀高度出现明显的波动,如图19A中所示。本发明旨在消除“阴影”影响,使基板上各点电镀高度一致。
实施例1
如图1所示,本实施例揭示了一种电镀装置,包括电镀槽101、基板夹具102和多个平行排列的条形的桨叶103。其中,基板夹具102用于夹持基板104,桨叶103位于基板104与电极之间,并与基板104平行。电镀时,基板104和桨叶103浸泡于电镀槽101中的电镀液内,桨叶103在驱动机构105的驱动下,沿着与基板104平行的方向进行往复运动,对电镀液进行搅拌。驱动机构105 可以是马达。桨叶103的运动方向可以进一步通过与其连接的导轨109来限制。驱动机构105连接有控制器106,控制器106通过程序控制驱动机构105的动作,从而控制桨叶103的运动。
如图2所示,桨叶103由一桨叶板108上开设条形的通孔而形成,桨叶板108的材质为绝缘体,例如PVC、PC、CPVC、PPS、PEEK、PTFE等塑料材质。具体的,在桨叶板108中间的圆形区域上加工相互平行排列的条形的通孔,通孔供液体和电场穿过,相邻通孔之间的实体部分则构成桨叶103。圆形区域的尺寸与基板104的尺寸匹配。
如图3A、图3B所示,桨叶103的横截面可大致为等腰梯形,各等腰梯形的底边位于同一条直线上,该直线的方向即为桨叶103的排列方向。等腰梯形的两个腰略微带有弧度。
桨叶103的横截面还可以是三角形或者矩形。与具有矩形桨叶的桨叶板相比,具有三角形或梯形桨叶的桨叶板的开孔面积更大,使桨叶板108的开孔面积较大的一侧朝向基板104,电镀液在该侧搅拌更充分,从而进一步提高电镀高度均匀性;另一方面,由于桨叶103在高速搅拌过程中容易产生气泡,气泡会依附在桨叶103的侧面,若将桨叶103的侧面设计成斜面,则气泡更容易从桨叶板108中排出。
如图4所示,以等腰三角形的桨叶形状为例,桨叶103的宽度为a,换言之,以桨叶103的排列方向为坐标轴的方向,桨叶103在坐标轴上的投影的宽度为a,即等腰三角形的底边的尺寸为a。相邻桨叶103之间的间隙的最窄宽度为b,换言之,相邻桨叶103上相互最靠近的两点之间的距离为b,即相邻两个等腰三角形的相邻顶点之间的距离为b。
本实施例中,a=b,即桨叶板108底部开孔区域的开孔率为50%。
如图4中箭头所示,桨叶103的运动方向与桨叶103的排列方向相同,也垂直于桨叶103的长度方向。由于桨叶103本身对电极与基板104之间的电场造成遮挡,因此基板104上与桨叶103对应的区域接收不到电量;由于相邻桨叶103之间的间隙对电场无遮挡,因此,基板104上与该间隙对应的区域可以接收到电量。在电镀过程中,若能使基板104上每个点都能接收到相同的电量,就可以使基板104上各点的电镀高度一致。申请人发现,这需要对桨叶103的 尺寸和运动方式进行优化设计。
如图5中所示,三角形表示桨叶103的横截面。为方便理解,将其中一个桨叶103绘制为黑色三角形。由于各桨叶103之间的相对位置不变,因此所有桨叶103的运动方式与所选取的黑色三角形的桨叶103的运动方式一致。以桨叶103的排列方向为一维坐标轴方向,以所选取的黑色三角形的桨叶103的起始点作为坐标原点,具体的,以所选取的黑色三角形的桨叶103的左边的端点作为坐标原点,桨叶103沿坐标轴方向进行往复运动,在以下4个坐标点折返:Δ,a,Δ+a,0。
为了便于观察桨叶103的坐标位置,图5中绘制有多条与坐标轴垂直的虚线,省略号表示未绘制的若干个桨叶103,带边框的箭头表示桨叶103发生的位移。从图5中可以看出,一个周期内,桨叶103的动作分为以下四步:
步骤501,从坐标原点向右移动至坐标Δ;
步骤502,向左移动至坐标a;
步骤503,向右移动至坐标Δ+a;
步骤504,向左移动回到坐标原点。
一个周期内,桨叶103左右交替移动,由于基板104上对应的每个点被桨叶103遮挡的时间相等,当电场均匀分布时,基板104上对应的每个点接收到的电量相等,因此各点的电镀高度相同。
一个周期内,为使桨叶103在各折返位置覆盖的坐标范围互不重叠,要求Δ≥a+b,即Δ≥2a,这样对电镀中各处的搅拌程度就更加均衡;桨叶103的宽度a的取值范围可为5mm-15mm,可根据基板104的尺寸和电镀装置的零件尺寸设定。以a=5mm,Δ=15mm为例,桨叶103在以下4个坐标点折返:15mm,5mm,20mm,0mm。
电镀工艺中,桨叶103完成一个周期运动后,立刻进入下一周期运动。
实施例2
本实施例揭示了一种电镀装置,本电镀装置包含实施例1中电镀装置的所有结构,如图1所示。在此不再重复。
与实施例1不同的是,如图6所示,b=2a,其中,桨叶103的宽度为a, 相邻桨叶103之间的间隙的最窄宽度为b,即本实施例的桨叶板108底部的开孔区域有更大的开孔率,约为66.7%。与50%的开孔率相比,桨叶103本身对电场的遮挡会更少。桨叶103的运动方式也因此不同。在一个周期内,桨叶103在以下6个坐标点折返:Δ,a,Δ+a,2a,Δ+2a,0,如图7所示,桨叶103的动作分为以下6步:
步骤701,从坐标原点向右移动至坐标Δ;
步骤702,向左移动至坐标a;
步骤703,向右移动至坐标Δ+a;
步骤704,向左移动至坐标2a;
步骤705,向右移动至坐标Δ+2a;
步骤706,向左移动回到坐标原点。
一个周期内,桨叶103左右交替移动,由于基板104上对应的每个点被桨叶103遮挡的时间相等,当电场均匀分布时,基板104上对应的每个点接收到的电量相等,因此各点的电镀高度相同。
一个周期内,为使桨叶103在各折返位置覆盖的坐标范围互不重叠,要求Δ≥a+b,即Δ≥3a。以a=6mm,Δ=20mm为例,桨叶103在以下6个坐标点折返:20mm,6mm,26mm,12mm,32mm,0mm。
实施例3
本实施例揭示了一种电镀装置,本电镀装置包含实施例1中电镀装置的所有结构,如图1所示。在此不再重复。
与实施例1不同的是,如图8所示,a=2b,其中,桨叶103的宽度为a,相邻桨叶103之间的间隙的最窄宽度为b,即本实施例的桨叶板108底部的开孔区域有更小的开孔率,约为33.3%。这种尺寸设计可看作是将实施例2中的桨叶103的尺寸与相邻桨叶103之间的间隙的尺寸对调,因此桨叶103的运动方式可与实施例2中所述的运动方式类似,桨叶103在以下6个坐标点折返:Δ,b,Δ+b,2b,Δ+2b,0。
如图9所示,一个周期内,桨叶103的动作分为以下6步:
步骤901,从坐标原点向右移动至坐标Δ;
步骤902,向左移动至坐标b;
步骤903,向右移动至坐标Δ+b;
步骤904,向左移动至坐标2b;
步骤905,向右移动至坐标Δ+2b;
步骤906,向左移动回到坐标原点。
一个周期内,桨叶103左右交替移动,由于基板104上对应的每个点被桨叶103遮挡的时间相等,当电场均匀分布时,基板104上对应的每个点接收到的电量相等,因此各点的电镀高度相同。
类似的,一个周期内,为使桨叶103折返的坐标尽量分散开,要求Δ≥a+b,即Δ≥3b。以b=10mm,Δ=35mm为例,桨叶103停顿的坐标为:35mm,10mm,45mm,20mm,55mm,0mm。
实施例4
实施例1至实施例3中,桨叶103的宽度a与相邻桨叶103之间的间隙的最窄宽度b之间的倍数均为整数。针对桨叶103的宽度a与相邻桨叶103之间的间隙的最窄宽度b之间的倍数为整数的电镀装置,本实施例揭示了以下电镀方法:
执行控制器中的程序,使桨叶103以如下方式运动:以桨叶103的排列方向为坐标轴方向,一个周期内,桨叶103的运动步骤为:
从坐标原点向右移动至坐标Δ;
向左移动至坐标c;
向右移动至坐标Δ+c;
向左移动至坐标2c;
...
向右移动至坐标Δ+(N-1)*c;
向左移动至坐标N*c;
向右移动至坐标Δ+N*c;
向左移动回到坐标原点。
其中,Δ≥a+b,

b=N*a或a=N*b,N为整数。
一方面,桨叶103正反交替运动,能使电镀液中的金属离子和电镀液添加剂的分布均匀。另一方面,基板104上对应的每个点被桨叶103遮挡的时间相等,这样可使基板104上对应的每个点的电镀高度相同。
或者,一个周期内,桨叶103可以按照以下步骤运动:
从坐标原点向右移动至坐标Δ;
向左移动至坐标c;
向右移动至坐标Δ+c;
向左移动至坐标2c;
...
向右移动至坐标Δ+(N-1)*c;
向左移动至坐标N*c;
向右移动至坐标Δ+N*c;
向左移动至坐标N*c;
向右移动至坐标Δ+(N-1)*c;
...
向左移动至坐标2c;
向右移动至坐标Δ+c;
向左移动至坐标c;
向右移动至坐标Δ;
向左移动至坐标原点;
向右移动至坐标Δ+N*c;
向左移动回到坐标原点。
为了更直观的显示桨叶103在各折返点的位置,以b=2a为例,一个周期内,桨叶103的动作分为以下12步,如图10所示:
步骤1001,从坐标原点向右移动至坐标Δ;
步骤1002,向左移动至坐标a;
步骤1003,向右移动至坐标Δ+a;
步骤1004,向左移动至坐标2a;
步骤1005,向右移动至坐标Δ+2a;
步骤1006,向左移动至坐标2a;
步骤1007,向右移动至坐标Δ+a;
步骤1008,向左移动至坐标a;
步骤1009,向右移动至坐标Δ;
步骤1010,向左移动至坐标原点;
步骤1011,向右移动至坐标Δ+2a;
步骤1012,向左移动回到坐标原点。
同样的,基板104上对应的每个点被桨叶103遮挡的时间相等,从而接收到的电量相等,电镀高度一致。
实施例5
本实施例揭示了一种电镀装置,本电镀装置包含实施例1中电镀装置的所有结构,如图1所示。在此不再重复。
与实施例1不同的是,如图11所示,b=1.5a,其中,桨叶103的宽度为a,相邻桨叶103之间的间隙的最窄宽度为b。
如图12所示,桨叶103在以下10个坐标点折返:
Δ,a,Δ+a,2a,Δ+2a,3a,Δ+3a,4a,Δ+4a,0。
一个周期内,桨叶103的动作分为以下10步:
步骤1201,从坐标原点向右移动至坐标Δ;
步骤1202,向左移动至坐标a;
步骤1203,向右移动至坐标Δ+a;
步骤1204,向左移动至坐标2a;
步骤1205,向右移动至坐标Δ+2a;
步骤1206,向左移动至坐标3a;
步骤1207,向右移动至坐标Δ+3a;
步骤1208,向左移动至坐标4a;
步骤1209,向右移动至坐标Δ+4a;
步骤1210,向左移动回到坐标原点。
一个周期内,基板104上对应的每个点被桨叶103遮挡的时间相等,当电 场均匀分布时,基板104上对应的每个点接收到的电量相等,因此各点的电镀高度相同。
实施例6
在实施例5中,桨叶103的宽度a与相邻桨叶103之间的间隙的最窄宽度b之间的倍数为大于1的非整数。针对a与b之间的倍数为大于1的非整数的电镀装置,本实施例公开了以下电镀方法:
执行控制器中的程序,使桨叶103以如下方式运动:以桨叶103的排列方向为坐标轴方向,一个周期内,桨叶的运动步骤为:
从坐标原点向右移动至坐标Δ;
向左移动至坐标c;
向右移动至坐标Δ+c;
向左移动至坐标2c;
...
向右移动至坐标Δ+(y-2)*c;
向左移动至坐标(y-1)*c;
向右移动至坐标Δ+(y-1)*c;
向左移动回到坐标原点;
其中,Δ≥a+b,a为桨叶宽度,b为相邻桨叶之间的间隙的最窄宽度,
Figure PCTCN2021137466-appb-000010
y=x*(N+1),b=N*a或a=N*b,N为大于1的非整数,x取值使x*N为整数。
为理解该方法,可进行以下想象:c为a和b中的较小的那个值,用数个宽度为c的小格去填充宽度为x*(a+b)的大格,x为整数,要求每个小格沿宽度方向排列,覆盖的位置互不重叠,且刚好将大格填满,不留空隙。通过选取合适的x值,使x*(a+b)的宽度为c的整数倍时,可满足要求。而x*(a+b)的宽度为c的整数倍相当于x*(N+1)为整数,即x*N为整数。
将宽度为c的小格看作宽度为c的桨叶103,x*(N+1)看作一组折返点的个数,宽度为x*(a+b)的大格则看作该桨叶103在该组折返点覆盖的坐标范围,则上述关于用小格填充大格的描述可看作取得了实施例5中提到的“基板104上对应的每个点被桨叶103遮挡的时间相等”的效果。由于一个周期内的折返点 有两组,因此一个周期内的折返点个数为2*x*(N+1)。为简化表示,令y=x*(N+1),则第一组折返点坐标为0,c,2c,…,(y-2)*c,(y-1)*c,第二组折返点坐标为Δ,Δ+c,Δ+2c,…,Δ+(y-2)*c,Δ+(y-1)*c。
一个周期内,桨叶103的运动步骤还可以为:
从坐标原点向右移动至坐标Δ;
向左移动至坐标c;
向右移动至坐标Δ+c;
向左移动至坐标2c;
...
向右移动至坐标Δ+(y-2)*c;
向左移动至坐标(y-1)*c;
向右移动至坐标Δ+(y-1)*c;
向左移动至坐标(y-1)*c;
向右移动至坐标Δ+(y-2)*c;
...
向左移动至坐标2c;
向右移动至坐标Δ+c;
向左移动至坐标c;
向右移动至坐标Δ;
向左移动至坐标原点;
向右移动至坐标Δ+(y-1)*c;向左移动回到坐标原点。
同样的,基板104上对应的每个点被桨叶103遮挡的时间相等,从而接收到的电量相等,电镀高度一致。
实施例7
本实施例揭示了一种电镀装置,本电镀装置包含实施例1中电镀装置的所有结构,在此不再重复。
此外,如图13所示,本实施例中的电镀装置还包括设置在桨叶103与基板104之间的扩散板107,扩散板107上设有多个通孔,可通过设置通孔的密 度和孔径,进一步提高基板上各点的电镀高度的一致性。
将本发明一个实施例的不含扩散板107的电镀装置与安装有扩散板107的该电镀装置进行对比,图14展示了两个电镀装置的电镀结果曲线,图中横轴为测试点与基板中心点的距离,纵轴为测试点的电镀高度,可以看出,含有扩散板的电镀装置能取得更均匀的电镀高度。
实施例8
本实施例揭示了一种电镀装置,本电镀装置包含实施例1中电镀装置的所有结构,如图1所示,在此不再重复。
与实施例1不同的是,以桨叶103的排列方向为一维坐标轴方向,桨叶103的运动方向与坐标轴之间有一夹角α,α小于90°。因此,桨叶103的坐标是桨叶103的实际位置在坐标轴上的投影。如图15中所示,若桨叶103上某点的实际位置为点A,则该点的坐标位置为点A在坐标轴上的投影点B。可以这样理解:由于只有桨叶103的运动在坐标轴方向的分量会使基板104上的对应区域接收到的电量变化,因此只考虑桨叶103在该坐标轴上的坐标变化。
显然,由于夹角α的存在,桨叶103实际移动的距离更大,因此,可以根据实际情况来设置夹角α的大小。
实施例9
本实施例揭示了一种电镀装置,本电镀装置包含实施例1中电镀装置的所有结构,如图1所示,在此不再重复。
进一步的,如图16所示,桨叶板108的一侧通过一连接件1011与偏心轴承1010连接,偏心轴承1010与导轨109滑动连接,桨叶板108受驱动机构105的驱动而运动,在没有偏心轴承1010的情况下,桨叶板108的移动应当沿着导轨109方向,若驱动机构使桨叶板108沿其他方向运动,则桨叶板108会被导轨109卡住。偏心轴承1010的作用是允许桨叶板108的运动方向与导轨方向之间存在细微的偏差,防止由于安装误差而导致桨叶板108运动受阻。
为了防止腐蚀性气体腐蚀精密部件,驱动机构105、偏心轴承1010和导轨109被氮气保护盒1012包围。图17展示了被氮气保护盒1012包围的偏心轴承 1010和导轨109,氮气保护盒1012上设有氮气进口和氮气出口。氮气保护盒1012内保持充满氮气的状态,外部气体无法进入氮气保护盒1012而腐蚀内部的精密部件。同样的,驱动机构105也可以被另一个氮气保护盒包围。
实施例10
本实施例揭示了一种电镀装置,本电镀装置包含实施例1中电镀装置的所有结构,如图1所示。在此不再重复。
与实施例1不同的是,如图18所示,桨叶板108的形状为方形,适用于方形基板的电镀,相应的,桨叶103由桨叶板108中间的方形区域开设条形通孔而形成。
需要说明的是,本发明的各实施例中对桨叶103的坐标进行限定,是为了体现桨叶103的平移距离,在一个电镀工艺中,坐标轴的原点位置可以任意指定。
为了体现本发明的所达到的效果,图19A、图19B和图19C分别展示了采用现有电镀装置的基板电镀效果、采用本发明电镀装置的基板电镀效果和基板上的测试点的电镀高度数据。与图19B相比,图19A中基板上的同心圆比较明显,电镀高度不均匀。图19C中,横轴为测试点与基板中心点的距离,纵轴为测试点的电镀高度,从图19C中可以看出,采用现有电镀装置,沿基板径向上的电镀高度出现较大的波动,在靠近基板中心的区域更为明显;采用本发明的电镀装置,基板上各处的电镀高度更均匀,各处电镀高度之间小的差异与其他因素有关,该差异在可接受范围内。
综上所述,本发明通过上述实施方式及相关图式说明,己具体、详实的揭露了相关技术,使本领域的技术人员可以据以实施。而以上所述实施例只是用来说明本发明,而不是用来限制本发明的,本发明的权利范围,应由本发明的权利要求来界定。至于本文中所述元件数目的改变或等效元件的代替等仍都应属于本发明的权利范围。
