Nanotwinned copper is a potential microelectronic interconnected material due to its superior strength and conductivity, however, its filling ability is urgently needed to improve before application in the field of advanced packaging. The effect of additive (sodium thiazolinyl dithiopropane sulphonate, SH110) addition on the surface roughness, microstructure, mechanical properties and filling capacity of nanotwinned copper films was investigated. The surface roughness and grain size were firstly reduced then increased with the increasing concentrations of SH110, reaching the minimum value at 10 ppm. It was noticed that copper films with 10ppm SH110 also possessed superior tensile strength and elongation, which were measured as 481 MPa and 3.68% on average of 12μm-thick samples by dynamic thermo-mechanical analyzer (DMA). Further, their uniformity and flatness of redistributed layers (RDLs) were controlled as 2% and 1.9%, which were significantly improved compared to the samples without SH110 (7.6% and 4.7%). As demonstrated by Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) analysis and Galvanostatic Measurement (GM), the SH110 could cooperate well with gelatin and serve as a combination of accelerator and leveler, resulting in the improvement of filling capacity for nanotwinned copper RDLs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
