Main Application

This equipment is mainly used for tin-silver electroplating. Tin-silver electroplating features excellent electrical conductivity, solderability, corrosion resistance and ductility. Therefore, it is widely applied in the semiconductor industry. For instance, tin-silver electroplating can be used for wire bonding and solder ball connection in chip packaging. It can also serve as a conductive material for interconnection processes, as well as a corrosion-resistant coating for chip protection.

Tin-silver electroplating is an electrochemical process that deposits a tin-silver alloy layer on the substrate surface. The plating solution consists of tin salts, silver salts, conductive salts, pH regulators and other additives. During the electroplating process, the substrate acts as the cathode. After power is applied, tin and silver ions are reduced and deposited on the cathode surface to form a tin-silver alloy coating.
Micro-bump Process:
  1. Photoresist thickness: 20 μm, forming aperture diameter of 40 μm.
  2. Electroplate copper with thickness of 10–15 μm, followed by electroplating tin of 5–10 μm.
Sample size is less than 6 inches. A Cu or other seed layer is required. Special-shaped samples will increase the process time, please communicate with the process engineer in advance.
