Abstract

The invention discloses the use of an additive for acid copper plating bath which is chosen based on criteria of creating a shift in the charge transfer overpotential of the bath; or alternatively, creating a differential overpotential between the surface of a high aspect ratio circuit board and the recesses of such boards. The additive may be a single or multi-component additive.
