Abstract

An electroless copper plating solution that is favorable to improve the adhesion of a plating film and realizes uniform plating at a low temperature is characterized by containing a water-soluble nitrogen-containing polymer in an electroless copper plating solution, and preferably the above-mentioned electroless copper plating solution contains glyoxylic acid and phosphinic acid as reducing agents. The water-soluble nitrogen-containing polymer is preferably a polyacrylamide or a polyethyleneimine and, preferably, its weight average molecular weight (Mw) is at least 100,000 and Mw/Mn is 10.0 or less.

Claims (1)

1. An electroless copper plating solution consisting of copper sulfate as a copper ion source, polyethyleneimine or polyacrylamide as a water-soluble nitrogen-containing polymer, glyoxylic acid and phosphinic acid as reducing agents, potassium hydroxide as a pH adjuster, ethylenediaminetetraacetate as a complexing agent, solvent and 2,2′-bipyridyl, wherein the concentration of the water-soluble nitrogen-containing polymer is 0.0001-5 g/L, the concentration of glyoxylic acid is 0.005-0.5 mol/L, and the concentration of phosphinic acid is 0.001-0.5 mol/L.
