Abstract

Electrodeposition of silver from a KAg(CN)2-KCN electrolyte was investigated. The addition of potassium selenocyanate (KSeCN) results in a hysteretic current-voltage response, specular films and superconformal growth in submicrometer vias. These observations are well described by the recently proposed curvature enhanced accelerator coverage (CEAC) model of film growth.
