    Abstract: An additive C capable of changing microvia-filling method by TSV copper plating, and electroplating solution containing same. The additive C contains by mass percentage: 5%-10%, one of polyethylene glycol or polyvinyl alcohol with the molecular weight of 200-100,000, or the mixture with different molecular weight thereof; 0.001%-0.5% isomer of the surfactant which including the alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether or fatty alcohol-polyoxyethylene ether; and the solvent is water. The electroplating solution containing the additive C could be used for microvia-filling by TSV copper plating, the electroplating current distribution could be adjusted reasonably to realize the smooth transition between the conformal and bottom-up plating, so as to reduce the possibility of the seam or void in the coating, realize the high-speed electroplating, reduce the thickness of the copper layer, reduce the TSV plating duration and the cost of the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), and significantly improve the production efficiency.

    Abstract: An additive for reducing voids after annealing of copper plating with through silicon via. The additive contains by weight percent: 0.05-1% of one or more of quaternized polyethylene imine and derivatives thereof having different molecular weights, and 1-10% of polyethylene glycol with an average molecular weight of 200-20000. The additive is used in combination with an electroplating solution of a copper methyl sulfonate system. The electroplating solution of a copper methyl sulfonate system contains 1-5 ml/L of the additive by volume ratio. The electroplating solution of a copper methyl sulfonate system contains by mass volume ratio: 50-110 g/L of copper ions, 5-50 g/L of methanesulfonic acid and 20-80 mg/L of chlorine ions. The electroplating solution also contains by volume ratio: 0.5-5 ml/L of accelerator, 5-20 ml/L of inhibitor and 5-10 ml/L of levelling agent. The additive for reducing voids after annealing of copper plating with through silicon via provided in the present invention can solve the problem of micro-voids between grain boundaries after high temperature annealing of copper plating.

    Abstract: A method for microvia filling by copper electroplating with a TSV technology for a 3D copper interconnection at a high aspect ratio, which includes: Step 1: formulating an electroplating solution of a copper methyl sulfonate system, Step 2: wetting the microvias of the TSV technology by means of an electroplating pre-treatment, Step 3: charging into the grooves, completing the ultra-low current diffusion, so that the copper ions and the additives are rationally distributed at the surface and the interior of the microvias of the TSV technology, Step 4: connecting the wafer for the TSV technology to the cathode of a power source, fully immersing the electroplating surface of the wafer in the electroplating solution, and electroplating with a step-by-step current method of rotating or stirring the cathode, the current density of the plating conditions is 0.01-10A/dm2 and the temperature is 15-30° C., Step 5: after the electroplating, washing the wafer completely clean with deionized water, and drying it by spinning or blowing. The method for microvia filling by copper electroplating with a TSV technology for a 3D copper interconnection at a high aspect ratio has a high via-filling speed, a thin copper layer on the surface, no risk of creating voids and cracks, and can achieve the complete filling of microvias having an aspect ratio of more than 10:1 which are extremely difficult to fill.
