Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Copper electroplating compositions which include an imidazole compound enables the electroplating of copper having uniform morphology on substrates. The composition and methods of enable copper electroplating of photoresist defined features. Such features include pillars, bond pads and line space features.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composition consisting of water, one or more sources of copper ions and corresponding anions of the one or more sources of copper ions, one or more electrolytes, one or more accelerators, one or more suppressors, and one or more imidazole compounds having a formula: wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are independently chosen from hydrogen, linear or branched (C 1 -C 4 )alkyl, and phenyl, and one or more additives chosen from one or more sources of halide ions, buffers, antimicrobial agents, surfactants, and defoaming agents. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the one or more imidazole compounds are in amounts of 0.25 ppm to 1000 ppm. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are independently chosen from hydrogen and (C 1 -C 2 )alkyl. 4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are independently chosen from hydrogen; and methyl and R 5 and R 6 are hydrogen.
