Abstract: A copper electroplating solution comprising a copper salt, a source of halide ions, and a linear or branched polyhydroxyl. The copper electroplating solution is used to deposit copper having a high density of nanotwinned columnar copper grains on a substrate. The linear or branched polyhydroxyl may comprise a reaction product between 2,3-epoxy-1-propanol and aminic alcohol or ammonium alcohol.
