In superconformal filling of copper-chip interconnects, organic additives are used to fill high-aspect-ratio trenches or vias from the bottom up. In this study we report on the development of intermolecular potentials and use molecular dynamics simulations to provide insight into the molecular function of an organic additive (3-mercaptopropanesulfonic acid or MPSA) important in superconformal electrodeposition. We also investigate how the presence of sodium chloride affects the surface adsorption and surface action of MPSA as well as the charge distribution in the system. We find that NaCl addition decreases the adsorption strength of MPSA at a simulated copper surface and attenuates …
