Cu etch 200 UBM

Copper Etchant

General Information

Cu etch 200 UBM is a slightly alkaline etchant for Cu and is used for the wet-chemical removal of Cu seedlayers with selectivity to metals like Ni, Au, Cr, Sn, Ti. Common areas of use are for semiconductor fabrication or microsystem technology especially for the removal of seedlayers after the plating of under-bump-metallization (UBM).

Properties

  • Selectivity to many materials, e.g. common metals used in electroplating industry
  • Very small dimension lost
  • Available in different purity grades
  • Compatible to resist masking
  • Usage at room temperature

Selectivity

Cu-etch-200 UBM is compatible/etches selective to following materials:

  • Resists: common Novolak as masking resist (e.g. AZ® Photoresist)
  • Metals: no attack on Cr, Au, Pt, Sn, Ni, Ti, Ta; Ag, Au will be slowly attacked
  • Semiconductor materials: Si, SiO2, Si3N4

Etching rate

Under normal condition, the etching rate is around 200 to 250nm/min (at RT). The mixed etching solution is not stable over time (mixture of two components), but can be used multiple times depending on the requirements of application. It is recommended to dispose the solution at the latest, when the etching rate has changed by 20%.
