Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for this Leveler?
A: The CAS number is 2279465-88-1. This identifier corresponds to the proprietary active ingredient blend; full formulation details are protected under trade secret provisions.
Q2: What is the typical working concentration range in a copper sulfate plating bath?
A: Standard operating range is 0.5–2.0 mL/L, optimized per tool configuration and feature geometry. Initial qualification starts at 1.0 mL/L, with fine-tuning via cyclic voltammetric stripping (CVS) analysis.
Q3: How does this Leveler differ from conventional PEG-based or Janus Green B derivatives?
A: Unlike traditional suppressors, this Leveler exhibits selective adsorption kinetics—stronger binding at feature rims than at bottoms—enabling superior planarization without excessive inhibition. It also shows lower co-adsorption interference with chloride and accelerator species.
Q4: Is there data available on metal ion leaching or organic extractables into plating baths after prolonged use?
A: Yes—ICP-MS testing confirms <0.1 ppb Cu/Ni/Fe leaching from Leveler molecules after 72 h bath aging at 25 °C. No detectable organic extractables above 5 ppb by LC-MS/MS under standard operating conditions.
Q5: Does this product require special handling or storage conditions to maintain stability?
A: Store at 5–25 °C in original sealed container, protected from direct sunlight. Avoid freezing and prolonged exposure above 30 °C. Shelf life is 24 months unopened; 6 months after opening when maintained under nitrogen blanket.
