Description
すなわち、絶縁膜(層間絶縁膜)内に形成した銅配線の露出表面を珪素化合物等の絶縁膜で被覆する従来の方法では、配線特性の向上の制約要因となるばかりでなく、配線の信頼性を長期に亘って確保することが困難である。
このように、フィルタでは取りきれない、例えば数十nm以下の微細な磁性浮遊物、例えば、化学薬液で除去されずに無電解めっき液中に持ち込まれた磁性汚染物や無電解めっき液中へ離脱した触媒金属を磁気力で無電解めっき液から除去することで、無電解めっき液中の微細な磁性浮遊物が絶縁膜等の表面に付着して異常析出物が生じることを防止し、しかも無電解めっき液の性質を一定にしてめっき反応を安定させることができる。
これにより、無電解めっき液の全流量をマグネットフィルタの内のマグネットに接触させて、無電解めっき液中の微細な磁性浮遊物をマグネットが持つ磁気力で除去することができる。
これにより、薬液、例えば50℃、好ましくは60℃以上、および1〜20%、好ましくは3〜10%の硝酸を所定時間フィルタに通過させることで、或いは、マグネットをカートリッジごと硝酸に所定時間浸漬することで、該マグネットに付着した付着物を溶解させて除去することができる。
これにより、全ての無電解めっき液は、カートリッジ蓋に設けられた多数の液流入口を通って、分散した状態で円筒状のカートリッジ本体内に入り、カートリッジ本体内のマグネットに接触した後、カートリッジ座板に設けられたスリット状に延びる多数の流出口を通過して外部に排出される。
これにより、金属または金属化合物の表面で、磁気除去部による磁気力によって、磁性浮遊物を引き付けながら、無電解めっき反応をさせ、併せて該磁性浮遊物の除去(回収)を行うことができる。
これにより、コバルト系合金またはニッケル系合金の磁性体からなるめっき膜を、例えば埋込み配線の露出表面に選択的に形成して配線を保護することができる。
前処理装置14a(14b)は、異なる液体の混合を防ぐ2液分離方式を採用したもので、フェースダウンで搬送された基板Wの被処理面(表面)である下面の周縁部をシールし、裏面側を押圧して基板Wを固定するようにしている。
更に、めっき槽200の上端開口部には、アイドリング時等のめっき処理の行われていない時に、めっき槽200の上端開口部を閉じて該めっき槽200内のめっき液の無駄な蒸発と放熱を防止するめっき槽カバー270が開閉自在に設置されている。
この磁気除去部356,362は、フィルタ305では取りきれない、例えば数十nm以下の微細な磁性浮遊物、例えば、化学薬液で除去されずに無電解めっき液中に持ち込まれた磁性汚染物や無電解めっき液中へ離脱した触媒金属を磁気力で無電解めっき液から除去するためのものである。
フィルタ305のハウジングの外側に磁気除去部を構成する磁石を設置し、フィルタ交換時にハウジングの内側に付着した析出物を除去するようにしてもよい。
このように、消耗されためっき液の成分を必要に応じて補給する際も、めっき液の液温が低下しないよう、その補給液をめっき液の液温まで予熱しておくことが好ましい。
めっき液の基本組成
・CoSO4・7H2O 7g/L
・Na3C6H5O7・2H2O 44g/L
・H3BO3 15g/L
・Na2WO4・2H2O 6g/L
・NaH2PO2・H2O 10g/L
そして、めっき処理を行うときには、めっき槽200のめっき槽カバー270を開き、基板ヘッド204を回転させながら下降させ、ヘッド部232で保持した基板Wをめっき槽200内の無電解めっき液に浸漬させる。
この無電解めっき装置を使用し、磁気処理を行いながらめっき付けを行ったところ、無電解めっき液の寿命が延びたことが確かめられている。
そして、このようにして洗浄した基板Wは、スピンドル428を高速回転させることでスピン乾燥させられる。
なお、この乾燥装置20にキャビテーションを利用したキャビジェット機能も搭載するようにしてもよい。
このスピン乾燥後の基板Wを、第2基板搬送ロボット26で仮置台22の上に置き、この仮置台22の上に置かれた基板を、第1基板搬送ロボット24でロード・アンロードユニット11に搭載された基板カセットに戻す。
これまで本発明の一実施例について説明したが、本発明は上述の実施形態に限定されず、その技術的思想の範囲内において種々異なる形態にて実施されてよいことは言うまでもない。
