Abstract

The present invention relates to an electrolyte composition for depositing copper on metal substrates. The composition contains a combination of two aromatic amines and an electrochemically inert cation. This electrolyte makes it possible to increase the copper nucleation density. It also allows bottom-up filling in trenches that have a very small opening dimension, typically lower than 40 nm.
