Copper deposited using bath additives added to the bath such as brighteners like Bis-(3-sulfopropyl)-disulfide (SPS)shows physical property changes when kept even at room temperature. In this research, the elements or groups contained in 2-Mercapto-5-benzimidazole (2M-5S), which have effects in preventing the property changes, are investigated. From this, Mercapto groups and Nitrogen atoms are thought to be essential and Benzene rings are thought to assist these effects. 2M-5S is thought to produce a strong union with the Cu(I) complex and coexisting additives using δ -polarized Nitrogen atoms and increases the amount of impurities incorporated into the deposits at the time of reduction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
