Abstract: A composition for copper plating and associated methods, a method of forming a copper wiring including forming an insulation layer having a recessed portion on a substrate, and forming a copper layer on the insulation layer to fill the recessed portion by performing an electroplating process using a composition that includes an aqueous electrolyte solution containing a copper ion and at least one of a disulfide compound represented by Formula 1, a betaine compound represented by at least one of Formulae 3 and 4, and a triblock copolymer of polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide (PEO-PPO-PEO) having a weight average molecular weight of about 2,500 to about 5,000 g/mol and an ethylene oxide content (EO %, w/w) of about 30% to about 60%.

Abstract: A metal organic precursor represented by a formula of R1-CpML is provided onto a substrate having a conductive pattern including silicon. Here, R1 is an alkyl group substituent of Cp, R1 including methyl, ethyl, propyl, pentamethyl, pentaethyl, diethyl, dimethyl or dipropyl, Cp is cyclopentadienyl, M includes nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), titanium (Ti), platinum (Pt) zirconium (Zr) or ruthenium (Ru), and L is at least one ligand, the at least one ligand including a carbonyl. A deposition process is performed using the metal organic precursor to form a preliminary metal silicide layer and a metal layer on the substrate. The preliminary metal silicidation layer is formed on the conductive pattern. The preliminary metal silicide layer is transformed into a metal silicide layer.
