“…Additives are commonly employed in both electrodeposition and ELD to alter the physical and mechanical properties of deposits such as the grain size, brightness, electrical resistivity, hardness, and smoothness. ,,, Examples include bis-(3-sulfopropyl)-disulfide, , 2-aminobenzothiazole, benzotriazole, polyethylene glycol, ,,, dipyridyls, , saccharin, adenine, ,, guanine, ,, and 3-mercapto-1-propanesulfonate. , Additionally, additives can accelerate or inhibit the rate of deposition. ,,,, There have been very few systematic studies of the effect of additive structure on the film deposition rate or properties. Kondo and co-workers , have demonstrated that for the tertiary amines, nitriloacetic acid (NTA), triethanolamine (TEOA), and triisopropanolamine, there were large differences in the rate of copper ELD using the reducing agent formaldehyde.…”
