Electroplating Additive (Copper Interconnect) Suppressor

Rohm&Haas ELECTRA® CU-120 Suppressor is a high-performance electroplating additive for copper interconnects in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. It enables uniform superfilling of sub-10nm trenches/vias by selectively suppressing copper deposition at field regions while promoting bottom-up fill. Compatible with acidic sulfate electrolytes and standard PVD seed layers.

Features Of Electroplating Additive (Copper Interconnect) Suppressor

  1. Enables superior bottom-up copper fill with minimal voiding in sub-65 nm interconnect trenches and vias.

  2. Provides robust suppression stability across extended plating bath life and high-current-density operation.

  3. Delivers excellent uniformity and repeatability in damascene electroplating processes for advanced logic and memory devices.

  4. Compatible with standard acid copper sulfate electrolytes without requiring major bath reformulation.

  5. Low-volatility, non-foaming formulation ensures consistent mass transfer and reduced maintenance downtime.

Typical Applications Of Electroplating Additive (Copper Interconnect) Suppressor

  1. Front-end-of-line (FEOL) copper interconnect metallization for 7 nm to 28 nm node semiconductor manufacturing.

  2. Advanced packaging applications including fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) and 2.5D/3D TSV plating.

  3. Copper seed layer reinforcement and gap-fill enhancement in dual-damascene structures.

  4. High-aspect-ratio via filling for RF and power IC interconnects.

  5. Electrochemical metallization in advanced microelectronic substrates (e.g., silicon interposers, glass substrates).

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

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

A: The CAS number is 2274032-87-9. This identifier applies to the proprietary active molecular complex; full formulation details are protected under trade secret provisions.


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

A: Recommended dosage is 0.5–2.0 mL/L in standard acid copper sulfate electrolytes (200 g/L CuSO₄·5H₂O, 50–70 g/L H₂SO₄, 40–80 ppm Cl⁻), adjusted based on feature size and current density.


Q3: How does this suppressor differ from conventional PEG-based suppressors?

A: Unlike traditional PEG suppressors, this product features engineered hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance and selective adsorption kinetics, enabling stronger interfacial binding at trench bottoms while maintaining rapid desorption at field regions — resulting in improved superconformal fill and reduced overburden.


Q4: Is extractable residue or metal migration a concern after post-plating cleaning?

A: No significant organic residue remains after standard SC1 (NH₄OH:H₂O₂:H₂O) and dilute HF cleans. ICP-MS testing shows <0.05 ppb residual carbon and undetectable leachable heavy metals (<0.01 ppb) on finished wafers.


Q5: Does this product meet semiconductor industry purity standards (e.g., SEMI C1/C12)?

A: Yes — manufactured and packaged in ISO Class 5 cleanrooms under SEMI F57-compliant controls; certified to SEMI C12 (metal impurities ≤ 10 ppt for Na, K, Fe, Ni, Cr, Zn, Al) and SEMI C1 (particulate count ≤ 25 particles ≥ 0.2 µm per mL).
