A copper etching solution contains an oxidizing agent and an amine compound. The oxidizing agent is one or more selected from the group consisting of a perchlorate, a chlorate, a chlorite, a hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and a perborate, and the amine compound has one or more primary amino groups or secondary amino groups.

The ampholytic surfactants show the nature of anionic surfactants in an alkaline region and the nature of cationic surfactants in an acidic region. As described below, the pretreatment solution of the present invention may preferably indicate alkalinity of pH 8.5 or higher, and therefore, it exhibits the nature of cationic surfactants by the use of ampholytic surfactants. As the ampholytic surfactants, those disclosed in JP 2011-228517 A can be used.

Disclosed is a catalyst application solution for plating an insulating portion of an object to be plated that comprises the insulating portion. The catalyst application solution is characterized by containing a water-soluble palladium compound, a reducer, a dispersant, catechol, a copper antioxidant and a buffering agent, and by having a pH of not less than 4. When the catalyst application solution is compared with a Pd&#x2014;Sn colloidal solution, the catalyst application solution has the following advantages: since the catalyst application solution is a colloidal solution of Pd only that does not contain Sn, a pre-dip process and an Sn removal process are unnecessary and thus the catalyst application process can be simplified; since the catalyst application solution has a pH of not less than 4, haloing does not occur; and since the catalyst application solution is in a reducing atmosphere due to the reducer contained therein, a copper surface is not oxidized and no copper dissolution occurs, thereby causing no palladium displacement reaction.
