    摘要: A novel method, which is suitable to substantially reduce the presence of oxygen micro-bubbles in an electroplating bath solution, is disclosed. The method includes the addition of aerobic bacteria to the electroplating bath solution to consume oxygen in the solution. Reduction of the oxygen content in the electroplating bath solution prevents oxygen micro-bubbles from forming in the solution and becoming trapped between the solution and the surface of a metal seed layer on a substrate to block the electroplating of a metal film onto the seed layer. Consequently, the presence of surface pits and other structural defects in the surface of the electroplated metal film is substantially reduced.
