Chemical solutions for use in the manufacture of electronic components, namely, electronic connectors, lead frames, light emitting diodes, integrated circuits and semiconductor components
The invention relates to a metallized solar cell and the method of making thereof that includes depositing a metal or metals such as silver, nickel, copper, tin, indium, gallium, or selenium or their alloys on solar cells in a manner to form more substantial and robust electrical contacts that can carry current more efficiently and effectively or to provide the active layers required to convert sunlight into electricity. These deposits also protect the underlying metallic materials from corrosion, oxidation or other environmental changes that would deleteriously affect the electrical performance of the cell. The invention also relates to the use of specialized electroplating chemistries that minimize residual stress and/or are free of organic sulfonic acids to minimize chemical attack on solar cell substrates or prior metallizations that include organic and/or inorganic binders or related materials for depositing the initial metallic portions of the cell.
A tin deposit which is inherently less prone to tin whisker formation or growth is obtained by one or more of: (i) the deposition of a fine-grained tin deposit having an average grain diameter in the range of 0.05 to 5 microns; (ii) a phosphorous compound in the solution that is used to electroplate the tin deposit so that that the deposit incorporates trace amounts of phosphorous which reduces tin whisker formation by preventing surface oxides even when exposed to heat or humidity; or (iii) a phosphorous, mercaptan or organic compound in a solution that applies a protective coating to the surface of a previously electroplated tin deposit, wherein the protective coating acts to minimize or prevent oxide formation or corrosion of the tin deposit during exposure to heat or humidity. Such tin deposits containing 80% to 100% by weight of tin exhibit minimal to no tin whisker growth.
The invention relates to a method of reducing tin whisker formation in a plated substrate that includes a surface layer comprising tin. The method includes providing on electroplatable portions of the substrate (a) an underlayer comprising silver or (b) a barrier layer that passes a mechanical load test when the surface layer, after 48 hours of contact with a 1mm hemispherical tip that carries a load of between 500 to 2000 g, exhibits no whiskers having a length of greater than 5 microns. The underlayer or barrier layer, whichever is present, is provided in a thickness sufficient to prevent formation of intermetallic compounds between the substrate and surface layer so that the surface layer exhibits reduced whisker formation compared to the same surface layer deposited directly upon the substrate. Typically, the underlayer or barrier layer includes 50 to 100% by weight silver or similar ductile material.
Methods of providing improved metal coatings or metal deposits on a substrate, improvements in plating solutions that are used to provide such metal deposits and articles of the metal-coated substrates. The solderability of the metal coating is enhanced by incorporating trace amounts of phosphorus in the metal coating to reduce surface oxide formation during subsequent heating and thus enhance long term solderability of the metal coating. The phosphorus is advantageously provided in the metal coating by incorporating a source of phosphorus in a solution that is used to provide the metal coating on the substrate, and the metal coating is then provided on the substrate from the solution.
