Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a method for providing a copper seed layer on top of a barrier layer wherein said seed layer is deposited onto said barrier layer from an aqueous electroless copper plating bath comprising a water-soluble source for Cu(II) ions, a reducing agent for Cu(II) ions, at least one complexing agent for Cu(II) ions and at least one source for hydroxide ions selected from the group consisting of RbOH, CsOH and mixtures thereof. The resulting copper seed layer has a homogeneous thickness distribution and a smooth outer surface which are both desired properties.
