Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a plating liquid composition, and in particular to a copper-electrolyte composition. [Prior Art] As the size of semiconductor components has decreased, the popularity of copper metal wiring has gradually increased. Currently, most copper processes are performed by electroplating. When depositing copper in a blind hole or through hole, it is necessary to control the deposition rate of copper ions at the bottom of the blind hole to be larger than the deposition rate on the outer surface of the blind hole, or it is necessary to control the deposition rate of copper ions in the center of the through hole to be larger than The deposition rate on the outer surface of the via hole may otherwise result in a gap or a void in the center of the filled hole due to the higher current density of the orifice. Cavities and gaps can affect the signal transfer rate and reduce the reliability of the chip. In general, most of the electroplating solution formulations in the academic community and the industry today use the addition of multiple additives to make the copper deposition rate at the bottom of the blind hole larger than the outer surface of the blind hole. The phenomenon of the bottom of the hole is shifted upwards, and the problem of voids and gaps is improved. However, since each additive is individually affected by the ambient temperature, the interaction between the two or more additives, and even the additives and other components in the plating solution, affects the entire plating process. Furthermore, multiple additives often lead to difficulties in analysis and difficult to achieve stable quality control. In other words, once there are many types of additives, analysis and control are not easy. In addition, when the above-mentioned copper bell liquid is applied to a printed circuit board (PCB), it can only fill a blind hole and cannot be used to fill a through hole. 201211322 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a copper plating bath composition suitable for electroplating a substrate having micron or submicron vias or blind vias. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a copper plating solution composition comprises 0.6-1 Μ copper-containing compound, 〇.! _1] ν [carboxylic acid, 10-100 ppm organic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound and 10 ~~ 1 〇〇ppm halogen ion. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the carboxylic acid does not simply mean a linear carboxylic acid, but also a branched saturated monocarboxylic acid having a carbon number of from 1 to 10. • According to an embodiment of the present invention, the copper-containing compound is selected from the group consisting of copper sulfate-free, copper sulfate, copper carbonate, and copper oxide. The above aqueous sulfuric acid steel is copper sulfate pentahydrate. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the dentate ion is a chloride ion, a bromide ion, and a cesium ion. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the organic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound is a chaotic compound. The nitrogen ruthenium compound is, for example, blue tetrazolium chloride, Nitro blue tetrazolium chloride monohydrate or Tetranitro Blue Tetrazolium. [Embodiment] In an embodiment of the present invention, a copper plating solution composition comprising a copper-containing compound, a carboxylic acid, an organic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound, and a halogen ion is proposed. In the copper plating bath, the copper-containing compound has a concentration of 0.6 - 1 Μ as a copper ion source. The copper-containing compound is selected from the group consisting of anhydrous copper sulfate, aqueous copper sulfate, copper carbonate, and copper oxide. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the water-containing sulfur 201211322 copper acid is copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuS〇4 · 5H2〇). . In the copper plating solution of the present invention, carboxylic acid is used as one of the electrolyte sources. According to one embodiment of the invention, the carboxylic acid is a linear or branched saturated monocarboxylic acid having a carbon number of 丨 1 ,, such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid or isobutyric acid. The concentration of the carboxylic acid in the copper plating bath is 0.1 -1 M. Since the nitrogen atom of the organic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound is easily positively charged, it is preferentially aggregated and adsorbed in the high current density region of the plated surface during the electroplating process, thereby suppressing the copper deposition rate. Specifically, the current at the opening of the φ through hole or the blind hole is higher than the inside of the through hole or the blind hole, so that the adsorption moisture of the organic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound in the opening of the through hole or the blind hole is high to low. The gradient distribution, which in turn controls the rate of copper deposition inside and outside the via or blind hole, is used to reduce the occurrence of voids or gaps. At the same time, the organic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound can also smooth the surface of the plated surface and can be used as a leveling agent in the electroplating process. Organic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound such as azole compound (Az〇le Compound) ° In addition, since citric acid is an organic weak acid, it is difficult to react with an organic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound, which can improve the problem of easy precipitation of a copper plating solution, and The hole filling after the electric money can be prevented from being pinched. The phenomenon of plate plating refers to the phenomenon of cracks or impurities in the hole filling or the peeling of the plate surface. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the nitrogen hydrazine compound may be blue tetrazolium chloride, Nitr〇blue tetrazolium chloride monohydrate or tetranitrotetrazine i. Tetranitro Blue Tetrazolium ). The individual chemical formulas are shown in the following formulas (i), (ii) and (iii). 201211322

According to an embodiment of the invention, the halogen ion concentration is from 10 to 100 ppm. Next, the result of electroplating and filling with a different copper plating solution composition, and then observing the cross-section of the substrate and the surface of the substrate with an optical microscope (OM) will be described. The electroplating and filling steps are as follows. First, before the electroplating, the copper-containing compound, the electrolyte and the halogen ion are separately mixed uniformly, placed in a Haring cell, and the air pump is opened, and the temperature is maintained at 28 ° C using a cooling cycle machine. Leave for 30 minutes. A prepreg cup is also prepared containing an organic nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound. The test piece used was a 4 X 6 cm 2 printed circuit board.
