本研究中,我們以界面化學理論結合極化曲線量測,來探討JGB (Janus green B)與N-N雙乙基硫尿(1,3-diethyl-2-thiourea)作為化學添加劑,應用在電鍍銅沉積所扮演的角色;並研究微小孔洞之銅金屬沉積的填洞機制。 由研究結果顯示,加入JGB於含有N-N雙乙基硫尿之電鍍液中,會造成固液界面能提升,降低極化的效應,並增加銅表面之粗糙度。反之,加入N-N雙乙基硫尿於含有JGB添加劑之電鍍液中,則會造成固液界面能降低,增加極化能力,並且會增加銅晶粒之細緻性。 當電鍍溶液含有JGB 10 ppm與N-N雙乙基硫尿25 ppm時,此電鍍銅膜具有相當強之(111)/(200) 晶格強度比值與極低的表面粗糙度值;並能成功地將銅沉積於一個0.18 μm且具有深寬比為4之微小孔洞內。
In this study, two chemical additives, Janus green B. (JGB) and 1,3-diethyl-2-thiourea, were employed in copper electroplating. The electroplating mechanism was illustrated using interfacial theory together with polarization measurement. Based on our studies, addition of JGB into an electroplating solution with 1,3-diethyl-2-thiourea electrolyte would increase the surface energy of liquid-solid interface, decrease the polarization, and make copper surface much more rough. On the other hand, adding 1,3-diethyl-2-thiourea into a solution containing JGB additives would decrease the surface energy, increase the polarization, and reduce the grain size of copper. A very high intensity ratio of copper (111)/(200) and a much more smooth surface of copper have been achieved when the electroplating solution contains 10 ppm of JGB and 25 ppm of 1,3-diethyl-2-thiourea. Finally, a void-free structure with a 0.18 μm dimension of contact is demonstrated when a mixture of JGB and 1,3-diethyl-2-thiourea are used as chemical additives in copper electroplating.
