A kind of method preparing thick nickel coating at semiconductor material surface
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of thick nickel coating preparation method of semiconductor refrigerating wafer, belong to technical field of material surface treatment.
Background technology
Tellurobismuthite (Bi
2te
3) be a kind of good semiconductor material, thermoelectricity merit figue is 1.6 × 10
-3/ K, is thermoelectric material best under the room temperature found at present, is with a wide range of applications in fields such as thermopile, thermal sensor, thermoelectric modules.But Bi
2te
3can not Direct Electroplating tin alloy, need to carry out metalized on its surface in advance.
Electroless plating or electronickelling are the most frequently used semiconductor material surface metallization treating methods.Bi
2te
3crystal nickel plating, not only achieves electroconductibility and the weldability on surface, can also the diffusion of effective blocking material inner element, as infiltration and the loss of stop Cu, Bi, Sn element, prevents resistance and the difference variation of material internal.Common metal material, as Cu, Al, stainless steel etc., is the deposition easily realizing nickel coating by plating or electroless plating, because be combined by interatomic metallic bond between metallic matrix with nickel coating, not only plating is easy, and binding force of cladding material is excellent.And Bi
2te
3this is as semiconductor material, and fragility is large, mechanical strength is low, and the bonding force of material internal is mainly Van der Waals force, if in its surface directly nickel plating, and at all cannot plating.Common way is to Bi
2te
3material pickling is in advance corroded, and to form one deck cavity layer on its surface, nickel realizes coating and Bi by pinning effect after deposition in cavity
2te
3the combination of material.
Think in industry, the thickness of nickel coating generally only has 5 ~ 10 μm, the thickness of nickel coating need be brought up to 20 ~ 80 μm, like this can be better to the performance of product, so thick nickel refers to the nickel coating obtaining and be greater than 20 μm.
Current problem is, due to semi-conductor Bi
2te
3the poorly conductive of material, be difficult to plating thick, the bonding force of coating is also very poor.Adopt general technology to Bi
2te
3electroplating material nickel, when thickness of coating is below 5 μm, nickel dam sticking power is good, and during more than 5 μm, coating unrelieved stress increases, and sticking power significantly declines, and occurs peeling and the peeling phenomenon of nickel dam.The method adopting chemical nickel plating likely forms thick nickel coating, but the general ni-p alloy coating of chemical Ni-plating layer, but not pure-nickel-layer, the blocking effect of degenerating to semiconductor substrate Elements Diffusion is not good.There are some researches show, the thickness of nickel dam increases, and obviously can improve the weldability of cooling piece, refrigeration, work-ing life and safe reliability, urgently find at semi-conductor Bi for this reason
2te
3material surface prepares the method for thick nickel coating.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to exploitation a kind of at semiconductor refrigerating wafer Bi
2te
3thick nickel coating method prepared by material.The present invention adopts air plasma spraying method directly at semi-conductor Bi
2te
3material sprays nickel coating, and concrete technical scheme is as follows:
By N-type or P type Bi
2te
3after material degreasing degreasing; Use 46# zircon corundum, blast pressure 0.1 ~ 0.2MPa, spray distance 150 ~ 200mm, angle 45 ~ 80 ° of blasts; Adopt plasma gun electric current 500 ~ 700A, hydrogen 5 ~ 7L/min, argon gas 40 ~ 60L/min; Dusty spray is the technical pure nickel powder of purity>=99%, granularity-45+15 μm, powder feeding rate 80 ~ 120g/min; Spray, apart from 150 ~ 180mm, walks rifle speed 800 ~ 2000mm/s, often all over deposition 10 ~ 20 μm, obtains the nickel coating of total coating thickness 20 ~ 80 μm.
Compared with electronickelling technology, the present invention has following significant advantage:
1. can obtain at semiconductor material surface the thick nickel coating that thickness is greater than more than 20 μm.
2. the bonding force of coating and semiconductor material is excellent, and the bonding strength of P-type semiconductor surface nickel coating is greater than > 15MPa, the bonding strength > 23MPa of N-type semiconductor top coat.
3. coating sedimentation effect is high, speed fast, and often all over deposition about 10 ~ 20 μm, thickness is even, less demanding to spraying raw material.
