ABSTRACT:
An aqueous substrate surface treatment composition includes cysteine and an acidic solution having a pH of about 7 or less. The composition enables a selective deposition of a metal ion sensitizer and a subsequent selective plating of a metallic cap layer. Various CoWP plating bath compositions are also provided which may be used to form the cap layer.
