Description

銀めっき液組成物Silver plating solution composition
 本発明は、銀めっき液組成物、該組成物を用いた銀めっき方法、および、該方法により銀めっき皮膜が形成された銀めっき処理品に関する。 The present invention relates to a silver plating solution composition, a silver plating method using the composition, and a silver-plated product having a silver plating film formed by the method.
 半導体分野における接合材料としてはんだは古くから用いられており、近年、より高い電圧および大きな電流の制御が可能なことで着目されているパワー半導体の分野においても、はんだが接合材料として用いられる。しかしながら、パワー半導体の高機能化が進むと共に、接合材料にかかる電圧および電流が一層増大していることから、接合材料としてのはんだが、耐熱性等の要求に必ずしも応えられなくなりつつあった。 Solder has been used as a joining material in the field of semiconductors for a long time, and in recent years, solder is also used as a joining material in the field of power semiconductors, which is attracting attention because it can control higher voltage and larger current. However, as the performance of power semiconductors has advanced and the voltage and current applied to the bonding material have further increased, solder as a bonding material has not always been able to meet the requirements for heat resistance and the like.
 はんだに代わる接合材料としては、高い耐熱性および高い放熱特性を有する銀(たとえば、銀焼結材)が有用である。他方、半導体素子の電極材料は銅またはアルミニウムが用いられていることが多く、当該電極と接合材料としての銀とを高い信頼性で接合させるためには、電極表面を銀で被覆することが必要となる。ところが、電極表面を直接銀で被覆した場合には、電極の保護および密着性の確保が十分に達成できないため、電極上にニッケルバリア層を形成し、当該ニッケルバリア層を銀で被覆することで、銀を用いた接合材料と電極とを接合させることが一般的になりつつある。このような接合を実現するためには、ニッケル上に銀を製膜する技術が必要となる。 As a joining material to replace solder, silver (for example, silver sintered material) having high heat resistance and high heat dissipation properties is useful. On the other hand, the electrode material of the semiconductor element is often copper or aluminum, and it is necessary to coat the electrode surface with silver in order to bond the electrode and silver as a bonding material with high reliability. Becomes However, if the electrode surface is directly coated with silver, protection of the electrode and securing of adhesiveness cannot be sufficiently achieved, so it is necessary to form a nickel barrier layer on the electrode and coat the nickel barrier layer with silver. It is becoming common to bond a bonding material using silver and an electrode. In order to realize such joining, a technique for forming a silver film on nickel is required.
 無電解めっき法は、独立パターン上に均一な皮膜を形成でき、かつ操作性も容易であることから幅広い材質の表面改質に用いられる。さらに、無電解めっき法は、イオン化傾向の差によりめっき対象の表面に金属を析出させる置換析出型、および、還元剤の作用によりめっき対象の表面に金属を析出させる還元析出型に大別される。従来から使用されている無電解銀めっき液には、シアン化合物あるいはアンモニアを含有する置換析出型のものがあった(非特許文献1)が、前者は毒性が高いこと、後者は爆発性の銀化合物(雷銀)を生成することから実用的とはいえなかった。現在実用化されている置換析出型の銀めっき液は、銅表面を被覆するためのものがほとんどであり(特許文献1~3)、ニッケル表面を被覆するための置換析出型の銀めっき液としては、錯化剤として亜硫酸塩やイミド基、アミド基を有する有機化合物を含有する、導電性粉末用の銀めっき液(特許文献4)がわずかに知られている程度である。 The electroless plating method is used for surface modification of a wide range of materials because it can form a uniform film on an independent pattern and is easy to operate. Further, the electroless plating method is roughly classified into a substitution deposition type in which a metal is deposited on the surface of a plating target due to a difference in ionization tendency and a reduction deposition type in which a metal is deposited on the surface of a plating target by the action of a reducing agent. .. Among the electroless silver plating solutions that have been conventionally used, there is a substitution precipitation type that contains a cyanide compound or ammonia (Non-Patent Document 1), but the former is highly toxic and the latter is explosive silver. It is not practical because it produces a compound (thunder silver). Most of the substitution-precipitation type silver plating solutions currently in practical use are for coating the copper surface (Patent Documents 1 to 3), and are used as substitution-precipitation type silver plating solutions for coating the nickel surface. Is slightly known as a silver plating solution for conductive powder (Patent Document 4) containing an organic compound having a sulfite salt, an imide group or an amide group as a complexing agent.

To the 50 mmol/L sodium thiosulfate aqueous solution, 20 mmol/L concentration of silver chloride was added and well stirred at room temperature to obtain a colorless transparent homogeneous solution (mixed aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate and silver chloride). It was As a reference sample, an aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate having a concentration of 50 mmol/L was obtained. Anion type ion chromatography (Shimadzu column IC-A1, company conductivity detector CDD-6A) was used as an analytical sample by diluting these two types of aqueous solutions 100 times by volume. And analyzed. The results are shown in Table 1 and FIG. The solid line chart in FIG. 1 represents the result of a mixed aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate and silver chloride, and the broken line chart represents the result of a sodium thiosulfate aqueous solution.

 表1から明らかなように、チオ硫酸ナトリウム水溶液と塩化銀との混合水溶液からは、添加した塩化銀とほぼ同一濃度のClイオンが遊離イオンとして検出され、添加した塩化銀とほぼ同一濃度分だけ減少した値としてS 2-イオンが検出された。この結果から、チオ硫酸ナトリウムと塩化銀との混合水溶液中で上記(1)式に従う反応が生じ、チオ硫酸銀錯体が形成されたことは明らかである。また、同様のことが、図1におけるCl(保持時間:約2.5分)およびS 2-(保持時間:約8分)の各ピーク面積の増減からも確認することができた。 As is clear from Table 1, in the mixed aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate aqueous solution and silver chloride, Cl ions having almost the same concentration as the added silver chloride were detected as free ions, and the concentration of the same concentration as the added silver chloride was almost the same. The S 2 O 3 2− ion was detected as a value decreased only by the above. From this result, it is clear that the reaction according to the above formula (1) occurred in a mixed aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate and silver chloride to form a silver thiosulfate complex. The same thing can be confirmed from the increase and decrease of the peak areas of Cl (retention time: about 2.5 minutes) and S 2 O 3 2− (retention time: about 8 minutes) in FIG. It was
