Abstract

The present invention relates to a kit intended for the deposition of nickel or cobalt in the cavities of a semiconductor substrate intended to form through-silicon vias (TSV) for making interconnections in integrated circuits in three dimensions.The invention also relates to a method of metallization of the insulating surface of such a substrate which comprises contacting the surface with a liquid aqueous solution containing: The step coverage of the layer of nickel or cobalt obtained can be greater than 80%, which facilitates subsequent filling of the vias with copper by electrodeposition.
