    Surface Technology White Papers 102 (5), 1-10 (May 2015) Nanoscale Characterization of Thin Immersion Silver Coatings on Copper Substrates by Tamás I. Török, * Éva Kun & Dániel Sós University of Miskolc Miskolc, Hungary and Attila Csik, József Hakl, Kálmán Vad, László Kövér, József Tóth & Sándor Mészáros Institute for Nuclear Research Hungarian Academy of Sciences Debrecen, Hungary Editor’s Note: This paper is a peer-reviewed and edited version of a presentation delivered at NASF SUR/FIN 2014 in Cleveland, Ohio on June 9, 2014. ABSTRACT Microelectronic-grade copper foils were immersion silver plated in a home-made non-cyanide alkaline silver nitrate - thiosulfate solution and in two commercially available industrial baths via contact reductive precipitation. The concentration depth profiles of the freshly deposited silver layers were afterwards analyzed at nanoscale resolution by means of secondary neutral mass spectrometry (SNMS) and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES). The thickness of the deposited silver layers obtained was in the range of 50 to 150 nm, depending on the parameters of the immersion procedure. Slight contamination of sulfur from the thiosulfate bath was detectable. Traces of chromium and sodium could be observed as well around the interface between the copper substrate and silver deposit. The results also indicate that storage for longer time in air, especially at higher than ambient temperatures, induces a kind of aging effect in the deposited layer, changing its composition. The samples were also analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to identify the chemical state of the silver. Keywords: silver, copper, displacement, immersion coating, GDOES, SNMS, depth profiles Introduction The rather long history of silver plating, both by electrodeposition and via displacement reactions (so-called immersion plating), using aqueous solutions of soluble silver compounds, started with the cyanides.

  • Verifying Microvoid Elimination and Prevention Via an Optimized Immersion Silver Process
    VERIFYING MICROVOID ELIMINATION AND PREVENTION VIA AN OPTIMIZED IMMERSION SILVER PROCESS John Swanson and Donald Cullen MacDermid, Inc. Waterbury, CT USA Abstract The Pb-free transition in the electronics industry has seen immersion silver emerge as a leading circuit board finish for RoHS compliant processes and products. It is utilized in a wide cross- section of end-use applications, both simple and technically sophisticated. The strengths of immersion silver are numerous; process simplicity at the fabrication level, contact functionality, and durability to multiple reflow cycles are some of the most noteworthy. Recently, the subject of solderjoint microvoiding has been linked to immersion silver processing, and studies of this phenomena have found microvoiding to present unacceptable risk to the reliability of electronic goods. This work is a continuation of previous publications which explained key root causes of microvoids, along with effective steps at preventing them. The work below presents a review of past findings, additional data confirming the proposed microvoid mechanism, and a substantial volume of production verification data. A direct comparison of this optimized process to an alternative immersion silver chemistry is also given. Introduction Environmental legislation and directives, most notably the RoHS and WEEE directives, have had significant effect on the materials and processes employed within the electronics industry in recent years. Corporate, governmental, and industry-based initiatives have been underway to move electronics products and processes into compliance with these standards, many of which became “official and active” in 2006. Printed circuit board finishing and subsequent component assembly are key segments within the broader electronics manufacturing chain. In these areas, new finishes and soldering materials have replaced their tin/lead counterparts.

  • Noncyanide Complexing of Silver for Electroplating And/Or Immersion
    Nanoscale characterization of thin immersion silver coatings on copper substrates Presenting author: Tamás I.

The concentration depth profiles of the freshly deposited silver layers were afterwards analyzed at nanoscale resolution by means of Secondary Neutral Mass Spectrometry (SNMS) and Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy (GDOES). The thickness of deposited silver layers obtained with 30-60 s immersion time were in the range of 50150 nm, depending on the parameters of the immersion procedure. Slight contamination of sulfur from the thiosulfate bath was detectable. Traces of Cr and Na could be observed as well around the interface between the copper substrate and silver deposit. Results also indicate that storage for longer time in air especially at higher than ambient temperatures induces a kind of ageing effect in the deposited layer, changing its composition. In case of samples prepared from home-made solution increasing amounts of copper together with its corrosion products became detectable. The samples were also analyzed by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to identify the chemical state of the silver. Nevertheless, working with the two industrial baths we could produce better quality silver layers during the laboratory experiments.

    ELIMINATING MICROVOID RISK VIA AN OPTIMIZED SURFACE FINISH PROCESS Donald Cullen, Witold Paw, John Swanson, Lenora Toscano MacDermid, Inc. Waterbury, CT USA Abstract The Pb-free transition in the electronics industry has seen immersion silver emerge as a leading circuit board finish for ROHS compliant assemblies and finished goods. The immersion silver finish has now been in high volume production for ten years and is utilized in a wide cross-section of end-use applications, both simple and technically sophisticated. The strengths of immersion silver are numerous: process simplicity, contact functionality, durability to multiple reflows, high frequency performance, and others. Recently, a phenomena arising after the soldering assembly operation, commonly referred to as microvoiding, has been linked to immersion silver processing. Studies of microvoiding have shown it to occur infrequently and somewhat unpredictably, so identification of root causes has been difficult. Reliability testing of "worst-case" microvoiding indicates it to be a problem deserving industry investigation. As an update to an earlier publication on this topic, this paper describes an investigation which identified key enablers for microvoid formation, a mechanism for their formation, and the successful implementation of an optimized silver process which minimizes microvoid formation and risk. ` Figures 1 a,b,c: Solderjoint Microvoiding by Optical Cross-Section and X-Ray Inspection Introduction Voids exist in solderjoints in many forms. The microvoids discussed in this work are characterized by three factors. First, the voids are very small, generally on the order of less than 10 microns. Next, the microvoids of concern exist at the interface of the copper substrate and the bulk solder, or more specifically, where the copper-tin intermetallic meets the bulk solder.

Abstract: The immersion silver plating is on the focus of the present work. The ecological technology is established on the base of the developed stable solution, avoiding the use of cyanide ions. The obtained coatings are uniform, dense with good solder wettability and high corrosion resistance suitable for application in a production of printed circuit boards. СРЕБЪРНИ ПОКРИТИЯ, ОТЛОЖЕНИ ПО БЕЗТОКОВ МЕТОД Здравка Карагьозова Институт за космически изследвания и технологии – Българска академия на науките e-mail: [email protected] Ключови думи: Сребърни покрития, имерсионен метод, спойваемост, корозионна устойчивост. Резюме: Имерсионният метод за отлагане на сребърни поктития е във фокуса на представеното изследване. Утвърдена е екологична технология за нанасяне на сребърни покрития, основаваща се на разработен стабилен разтвор без използване на цианидни йони. Получените покрития са плътни, равномерни с добра спойваемост и висока корозионна устойчивост, подходящи за приложение в производството на печатни платки. Introduction Immersion plating is a simple and low cost process for production of uniform, dense and adhering layers of nobler metals to less noble metal. The process runs without an external source of current in an aquatic environment due to differences in the levels of oxidation potentials of the metal ions being deposited and the metal ions being displaced. The reaction continues until the coating completely covers the plated surface. Therefore the result is in obtaining of a thin layer [1].
