  • Patent number: 9888585
    Abstract: Adhesion of an underlying diffusion barrier metal film and an electroless copper plating film with respect to an insulating film can be improved. A method for manufacturing a wiring structure includes a process of forming the underlying diffusion barrier metal film 5, including a base metal with respect to copper, on the insulating film 1; and a process of forming the electroless copper plating film 6 on the underlying diffusion barrier metal film 5 by performing an electroless copper displacement plating process with a copper displacement plating solution. The copper displacement plating solution is an acidic copper displacement plating solution of pH1 to pH4, in which copper ions are contained but a reducing agent for reducing the copper ions is not contained.

  • Publication number: 20150303103
    Abstract: A catalyst adsorption method can sufficiently adsorb a catalyst to a lower portion of a recess formed in a substrate. A substrate 20 in which a recess 22 is formed is prepared. Then, a catalyst 23 formed of nanoparticles coated with a dispersant is adsorbed to a surface of the substrate 20 by bringing the substrate 20 into contact with a catalyst solution 12 containing the catalyst by a catalyst adsorption device 10. At that time, a high frequency vibration is applied to the catalyst solution 12.
