Abstract:
Compositions and methods for silver plating onto metal surfaces such as PWBs in electronics manufacture to produce a silver plating which is greater than 80 atomic % silver, tarnish resistant, and has good solderability.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods for enhancing adhesion between a copper conducting layer and a dielectric material during manufacture of a printed circuit board. Conditioning compositions contain a functional organic compound and preferably a transition metal ion. The functional organic compound, e.g., a purine derivative, is capable of forming a self-assembled monolayer. Adhesion promoting compositions contain an acid, preferably an inorganic acid, and an oxidant. The latter compositions may also contain a corrosion inhibitor and/or a transition metal ion selected from among Zn, Ni, Co, Cu, Ag, Au, Pd or another Pt group metal. The corrosion inhibitor may comprise a nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compound.
Abstract:
A process for metalizing a through silicon via feature in a semiconductor integrated circuit device, the process including, during the filling cycle, reversing the polarity of circuit for an interval to generate an anodic potential at said metalizing substrate and desorb leveler from the copper surface within the via, followed by resuming copper deposition by re-establishing the surface of the copper within the via as the cathode in the circuit, thereby yielding a copper filled via feature.

Abstract:
Electrolytic plating compositions and electrolytic plating processes for the co-deposition of silver or silver alloy with fluoropolymer nanoparticles are provided. The silver or silver alloy composite coating containing fluoropolymer nanoparticles has enhanced functional properties such as a reduced coefficient of friction. The electrolytic plating composition comprises: (a) a silver ion source comprising silver methane sulfonate (Ag-MSA); (b) a complexing agent comprising a compound comprising a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic ring; (c) a pre-mix dispersion comprising fluoropolymer nanoparticles particles having a mean particle size of from about 10 nm and about 500 nm and a surfactant; and (d) an auxiliary surfactant comprising a cationic fluorosurfactant, wherein the composition has a pH of from about 8 to about 14.
