    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of an electroplating system and an associated electroplating method that allow for depositing of metal alloys with a uniform plate thickness and with the means to alter dynamically the alloy composition. Specifically, by using multiple anodes, each with different types of soluble metals, the system and method avoid the need for periodic plating bath replacement and also allow the ratio of metals within the deposited alloy to be selectively varied by applying different voltages to the different metals. The system and method further avoids the uneven current density and potential distribution and, thus, the non-uniform plating thicknesses exhibited by prior art methods by selectively varying the shape and placement of the anodes within the plating bath. Additionally, the system and method allows for fine tuning of the plating thickness by using electrically insulating selectively placed prescribed baffles.

    摘要: In the manufacture of a microelectronic component having metallic features on a polyimide layer, the metallic features being spaced from one another by gaps, at least some of which gaps have widths in a range from about one micron to about 500 microns, corrosion protection is provided by plating those features by electroless deposition of a nickel-phosphorus alloy forming a layer having a thickness in a range from about 200 .ANG. to about 3000 .ANG., at a rate of about 100 .ANG. per minute, in an aqueous plating bath comprising nickel sulfate hexahydrate in an amount of about 5.5 grams per liter, sodium hypophosphite in an amount of about six grams per liter, boric acid in an amount of about 30 grams per liter, sodium citrate in an amount of about 45 grams per liter, lead acetate in an amount of about one part per million by weight of lead, and a surfactant in an amount of about 0.1 grams per liter. The bath has a temperature of about 72.degree. C. and a pH of about 8.1. The gaps having widths of at least one micron remain essentially free of extraneous plating.

    摘要: An electroless Cu layer is formed on each side of a packaging substrate containing a core, at least one front metal interconnect layer, and at least one backside metal interconnect layer. A photoresist is applied on both electroless Cu layers and lithographically patterned. First electrolytic Cu portions are formed on exposed surfaces of the electroless Cu layers, followed by formation of electrolytic Ni portions and second electrolytic Cu portions. The electrolytic Ni portions provide enhanced resistance to electromigration, while the second electrolytic Cu portions provide an adhesion layer for a solder mask and serves as an oxidation protection layer. Some of the first electrolytic Cu may be masked by lithographic means to block formation of electrolytic Ni portions and second electrolytic Cu portions thereupon as needed. Optionally, the electrolytic Ni portions may be formed directly on electroless Cu layers.
