Features Of Electroplating Additive (Copper Interconnect) Accelerator

  1. Enables ultra-uniform copper deposition with exceptional bottom-up fill capability for sub-65 nm interconnect trenches and vias.

  2. Highly selective acceleration at cathode surface without promoting dendritic growth or void formation.

  3. Stable performance across wide operating current density range (1–40 A/dm²) and temperature (20–30 °C).

  4. Low-additive-consumption formulation reduces drag-out losses and improves bath longevity.

  5. Compatible with real-time monitoring systems via cyclic voltammetric stripping (CVS) analysis.

Typical Applications Of Electroplating Additive (Copper Interconnect) Accelerator

  1. Advanced semiconductor back-end-of-line (BEOL) copper electroplating for logic and memory devices.

  2. Through-silicon via (TSV) filling in 3D IC packaging processes.

  3. Wafer-level packaging (WLP) and fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) interconnect metallization.

  4. High-aspect-ratio microvia filling in advanced HDI PCBs for high-speed computing.

  5. Electrochemical metallization for MEMS and advanced sensor interconnects.

Electroplating Additive (Copper Interconnect) Accelerator – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for this accelerator?

A: The CAS number is 154642-78-3 (for the primary active component, sodium bis-(3-sulfopropyl) disulfide).


Q2: What is the typical working concentration range in copper plating baths?

A: Standard dosage is 0.5–2.0 mL/L in conjunction with suppressor (e.g., PEG-based) and leveler; optimal concentration is determined via CVS titration and verified by cross-sectional SEM.


Q3: How does this accelerator differ from conventional SPS in high-resolution interconnect plating?

A: Unlike standard SPS, this derivative exhibits slower diffusion kinetics and higher adsorption affinity at high-current-density features, enabling superior superconformal fill without excessive sidewall acceleration or “mushrooming”.


Q4: Is migration or leaching of accelerator residues observed after thermal cycling or reliability testing?

A: No measurable migration or extraction was detected under JEDEC JESD22-A108F (1000 h at 150 °C) or IPC-TM-650 2.6.25.1 (ionic contamination test); residual sulfur content remains below 0.05 ppm after post-plating rinse and anneal.


Q5: Does this product carry any industry-specific certifications beyond REACH/RoHS?

A: Yes — certified to ISO 9001:2015 and IATF 16949:2016 for automotive-grade semiconductor supply chains; also qualified per SEMI S2/S8 safety standards for wafer fab use.
