  • Publication number: 20130075272
    Abstract: Provided are a highly pure copper anode for electrolytic copper plating, a method for manufacturing the same, and an electrolytic copper plating method using the highly pure copper anode. The highly pure copper anode obtains a crystal grain boundary structure having a special grain boundary ratio L?N/LN of 0.35 or more. LN is a unit total special grain boundary length. L?N is a unit total special boundary length. By having the configuration described above, plating defect can be reduced by suppressing the occurrence of the particles, such as the slime or the like, which are generated on the anode side in the plating bath.
