Plating method, plating apparatus and a method of forming fine circuit wiring

摘要

A copper plating film has a lower chlorine ion content. Circuit wiring of high electromigration resistance is formed by electroplating. In a method of copper plating using a leveler containing a nitrogen-containing high molecular compound, the leveler is dechlorinated prior to its use for plating. A plating apparatus has a tank for preparing a plating solution, a device for dechlorinating a leveler, a leveler supply station for supplying the dechlorinated leveler to the tank and a plating station. A method of forming fine circuit wiring includes forming a circuit with a phosphorus-doped copper plating layer on a substrate for an electronic circuit having a fine circuit pattern, a barrier layer and any necessary seed layer formed thereon.
