Describe according to of the present invention without electric plating method with reference to Fig. 7.Fig. 7 is that expression is according to the process flow diagram without electric plating method technique of the present invention.Will explain as an example to cover copper coating.
In Fig. 7, at first step ST1, for increasing the adhesion between basalis (base layer) and the plating layer, carry out cleaning procedure, remove particle or organic substance, thus the surface of clear base bottom.At this moment, the substrate that the above includes basalis can be exposed to organic solution about 30 seconds, and described basalis can comprise copper.
Then, at second step ST2, carry out adjusting process (conditioning process), remove the oxide film on the basalis.The surface of basalis has polarity, and described polarity for example is (+) polarity just.At this moment, the above's substrate of including basalis can be exposed to and comprise sulfuric acid (H 2SO 4) about 30 seconds of solution.Here, can omit second step ST2.
Next, at third step ST3, carry out activating process (activating process), palladium (Pd) is adsorbed onto the surface of basalis.Palladium plays catalyzer.The substrate that the above includes basalis can be exposed to the acid solution that wherein is dissolved with palladium ion about 60 seconds.The copper of basalis becomes ion owing to the catalytic performance of displaced type (substitution-type) palladium ion loses electronics.Palladium ion reduces and is adsorbed to the surface of basalis.Here, acid solution can be sulfuric acid (H 2SO 4) based sols.
At the 4th step ST4, carry out without electric plating technique, form copper plate at basalis.At this moment, use copper plating solution.Copper plating solution comprises slaine, reductive agent, complexing agent (complexant), stabilizing agent and promoter (exaltant) (in other words rate accelerating material (accelerator)), and copper plating solution is alkalescence (alkali).
Reductive agent offers the copper ion electronics.The electromotive force of reductive agent (potential) can be lower than the equilibrium potential (equilibrium potential) of copper ion.Reductive agent can comprise one of formaldehyde, dimethylamino monoborane (dimethylamine borane, DMAD) and sodium hypophosphite.For example, when using formaldehyde as reductive agent, because the reduction process of formaldehyde can generate hydrogen ion (H+) and hydroxide ion (OH-), and can change the pH value of plating solution.
Complexing agent is combined with copper ion, prevent copper ion and reductive agent the reaction and precipitate.Complexing agent can comprise sodium-potassium tartrate (sodium potassium tartrate), ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, EDTA), one of glycollic acid (glycolic acid) and triethanolamine (triethanol amine), described sodium-potassium tartrate can be called as Rochelle (Rochelle) salt.
Stabilizing agent is adsorbed onto on dust (dust) or the copper particle, prevents that copper ion from contacting with reductive agent.Stabilizing agent can comprise one of oxygen, thiocarbamide, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (2-mercaptobenzothiazole), DECTC (diethyldithiocarbamate) and vanadium pentoxide (vanadium pentoxide).
Promoter (or rate accelerating material) being used for improved plating speed.Promoter can comprise one of prussiate, propionitrile (proprionitrile) and phenanthrolene (O-phenanthroline).
Therefore, when comprising that the exposure of substrates of basalis that absorption has a palladium is to copper plating solution, because the reduction process of reductive agent generates electronics, copper ion is tied to be incorporated on the palladium catalyst with electronics and is separated out (educe), thus the formation copper plate.In addition, the copper of plating plays autocatalysis, and further forms copper plate.
Here, the thickness of copper plate changed according to composition, component ratio and the open-assembly time of copper plating solution.For example, when basalis is exposed to the copper plating solution that comprises formaldehyde, Rochelle salt and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole in the time of about 1200 seconds, can form about 1.5 microns copper plate.

Simultaneously, if when form contact hole 162,164 by composition passivation layer 160, contact hole 162,164 166 and 168 time, 166 and 168 side be back taper, then because the cause of back taper step, the layer that forms later may disconnect.Yet in the present invention, metal pattern is formed in the contact hole 162,164,166 and 168 by the plating method.So, even contact hole 162,164,166 and 168 side are back taper, also can prevent the disconnection of the layer that forms later.
In the superincumbent embodiment, the first auxiliary grid pattern 176 and the first auxiliary data pattern 178 have single layer structure.The first auxiliary grid pattern 176 also can have sandwich construction by the different material of plating with the first auxiliary data pattern 178.Especially, when the first auxiliary grid pattern 176 and the first auxiliary data pattern 178 comprise copper, on copper plate, can further form nickel coating so that anti-oxidation and reduce contact resistance with succeeding layer.
