Effect of grain orientations of Cu seed layers on the growth of <111>-oriented nanotwinned Cu

چکیده
We investigate the growth of Cu films on two different Cu seed layers: one with regular <111>-oriented grains and the other with very strong <111>-preferred orientation. It is found that densely-packed nanotwinned Cu (nt-Cu) can be grown by pulsed electroplating on the strong <111>-oriented Cu seed layer without a randomly-oriented transition layer between the nt-Cu and the Cu seed layer. The electroplated nt-Cu grow almost epitaxially on the seed layer and formed <111>-oriented columnar structures. However, with the regular <111>-oriented Cu seed, there is a randomly-oriented transition layer between the nt-Cu and the regular <111>-oriented Cu seed. The results indicate that the seed layer plays a crucial role on the regularity of <111>-oriented nanotwinned Cu.

Unidirectional growth of microbumps on (111)-oriented and nanotwinned copper.
Highly oriented [111] Cu grains with densely packed nanotwins have been fabricated by direct-current electroplating with a high stirring rate. The [111]-oriented and nanotwinned Cu (nt-Cu) allow for the unidirectional growth of Cu(6)Sn(5) intermetallics in the microbumps of three-dimensional integrated-circuit packaging; a uniform microstructure in a large number of microbumps of controlled ori...
متن کاملLow-temperature direct copper-to-copper bonding enabled by creep on (111) surfaces of nanotwinned Cu
Direct Cu-to-Cu bonding was achieved at temperatures of 150-250 °C using a compressive stress of 100 psi (0.69 MPa) held for 10-60 min at 10(-3) torr. The key controlling parameter for direct bonding is rapid surface diffusion on (111) surface of Cu. Instead of using (111) oriented single crystal of Cu, oriented (111) texture of extremely high degree, exceeding 90%, was fabricated using the ori...

Densely nanotwinned Cu nanowire (NW) arrays with an identical diameter of ∼55 nm were fabricated by pulse electrochemical deposition at low temperature using anodic aluminum oxide as a template. Different growth orientations of nanotwinned Cu nanowire arrays were investigated. The endurance of the electrical current density before breakdown of the nanotwinned Cu NWs can reach up to 2.4 × 10(8) ...

The growth of η and η’-Cu6Sn5 has been proven as a preferential growth behavior on single crystal copper. However, a layer of single crystal copper is not possible to be electroplated. It can not be utilized in the electronic industry. In this paper, we electroplated an array of (111) uni-directional Cu pad followed by electroplating SnAg2.3. After being reflowed at 260C for 1 minute, the η-Cu6...
