Many addition agents have been proposed for the electrodeposition of copper in order to produce desired effects in the nature of the deposit. A few investigators [1-4] have carried out studies on the electrodeposition of copper on copper single-crystal substrates with the object of obtaining information on the mechanism of the action of these addition agents. Identification of the chemical species formed during the deposition also throws light on the role of the addition agent during the deposition process. In the present work the effect of controlled amounts of 2-thiouracil on the surface topography during the electrodeposition of copper on the copper (III) plane from an acid sulphate bath has been investigated. The overpotentials during the deposition process were measured in all the cases and the calculated electrode kinetic parameters were correlated with the morphological changes. The role of 2-thiouracil as an addition agent has been explained from the observed results. ponding to 10 C cm-2. A fresh crystal was used for each distinct concentration at every current density. The cathodic overpotential during the deposition process was noted with reference to a freshly prepared copper electrode at various time intervals of deposition using a vacuum tube voltmeter (Philips GM 90) with an accuracy of+ 5 mV. The use of a Luggin capillary in the deposition cell minimized any ohmic overpotential contribution. A correction for the concentration polarization was incorporated by taking the difference in the values of the overpotential with and without stirring, The morphology of the dried surface was examined under a phase contrast microscope at a magnification of x 625 and photomicrographs were taken (reproduced here'at x 600). Each experiment was repeated to ensure reproducibility in the surface morphological features and overpotential values.
