Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Electroless copper plating compositions including (a) copper ions, (b) a complexing agent for copper ions, (c) a reducing agent, (d) a pH adjustor and (e) a stabilizer is disclosed. The stabilizer has a specific chemical structure, and contributes to stable an electroless copper plating composition from decomposition.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electroless copper plating composition comprising (a) a copper ion, (b) a complexing agent for copper ion, (c) a reducing agent, (d) a pH adjustor and (e) a stabilizer compound chosen from one or more of 3 ethyl-2-thioxo-4-oxazolidinone and 5-(4-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol. 2. The electroless copper plating composition of claim 1 , wherein the amount of the stabilizer compound is from 0.01 to 1000 ppm. 3. The electroless copper plating composition of claim 1 , wherein the complexing agent is tartrate. 4. A method for forming a copper film on a substrate comprising the step of: contacting a substrate with a composition comprising (a) a copper ion, (b) a complexing agent for copper ion, (c) a reducing agent, (d) a pH adjustor and (e) a stabilizer compound chosen from one or more of 3-ethyl-2-thioxo-4-oxazolidinone and 5-(4-pyridyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol.
