We investigated the effect of plating parameters on the coating morphology and grain size of copper using a novel citrate bath.The structure and deposit were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),respectively.The copper plating bath was applied to a micro-electro-mechanical system(MEMS).Results show that an even and compact copper coating was obtained for the fine grains using plating parameters of 6 g.L-1 Cu2+,pH=7.0-8.5,1-2 A.dm-2,45 ℃,and bath agitation.The deposit consists of pure copper in a fcc polycrystalline structure.A planar inductor was successfully fabricated by MEMS using this bath and its maximum quality factor was 12.75,which satisfies the design requirements.
