ABSTRACT:
An electrolytic copper plating process comprising two steps is proposed. The process is particularly suited to plating in very confined spaces. The first step comprises a pre-treatment solution comprising an anti-suppressor that comprises a sulfur containing organic compound, preferably incorporating an alkane sulfonate group or groups and/or an alkane sulfonic acid. The second step comprises an electrolytic copper plating solution based on an alkane sulfonic acid.
