Abstract
The present invention relates to a plating composition for electrolytic copper deposition, comprising copper ions, halide ions and at least one acid, at least one benzothiazole compound, at least one phenazine dye and at least one ethanediamine derivative. The present invention further concerns the use of above plating composition and a method for electrolytically depositing a copper or copper alloy layer onto at least one surface of a substrate.
Claims17
A plating composition for electrolytic copper deposition, comprising copper ions, halide ions and at least one acid, characterized in that
- the plating composition further comprises:
- (a) at least one benzothiazole compound represented by the following formula (BT):
- wherein
- RBT1 is selected from the group consisting of substituted and unsubstituted alkyl group, substituted and unsubstituted aryl group and substituted and unsubstituted alkaryl group;
- RBT2 and RBT3 are independently substituted and unsubstituted alkyl groups;
- each of RBT4, RBT5, RBT6 and RBT7 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, substituted and unsubstituted alkyl group, substituted and unsubstituted oxyalkyl group and
- wherein RBT8 is selected from the group consisting of substituted and unsubstituted alkyl group, substituted and unsubstituted aryl group and substituted and unsubstituted alkaryl group;
- each of RBT9, RBT10, RBT11 and RBT12 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, substituted and unsubstituted alkyl group, substituted and unsubstituted oxyalkyl group and sulfonic acid group;
- (b) at least one phenazine dye;
- and
- (c) at least one ethanediamine derivative represented by the following formula (ED):
- wherein
- RED1, RED2, RED3 and RED4 are independently selected from the group consisting of substituted and unsubstituted oligo(oxyalkanediyl) group;
- and substituted and unsubstituted poly(oxyalkanediyl) group, and
- wherein the plating composition is free of intentionally added zinc ions.
