Abstract

Tin or tin alloy plating liquid with a sufficient plated deposit can be formed in the opening without causing burns on the plated film surface or abnormal deposits, and which has a good via filling effect. When a specific α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound is added into the tin or tin alloy plating liquid, the plating liquid with good via filling performance can be obtained, and the deposit which is substantially free of voids and burns or abnormal deposits on the deposit surface are reduced.

Claims (7)

1. A method of electroplating comprising:

a) providing a substrate comprising vias having diameters of 10-100 pm and depths of 10-100 pm;

b) immersing the substrate comprising vias having diameters of 10-100 pm and depths of 10-100 pm in an electroplating liquid comprising a source of tin ions and at least one α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound selected from the group consisting of citral, 4-hexene-3-one, β-ionone, and 1-acetyl-1-cyclohexene, wherein the at least α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound is in amounts of 0.01-0.5 g/L; and

c) plating tin in the vias with the electroplating liquid.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising an alloying metal ion source.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein alloying metals are chosen from silver, copper, gold, platinum, zinc, nickel, bismuth, indium, thallium, antimony, palladium, rhodium, iridium and lead.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electroplating liquid further comprises additives chosen from an antioxidant, a complexing agent, a pH adjusting agent, a brightener and a grain refiner.
