Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wafer plating apparatus capable of forming a plating film before an oxidized film is again formed after a wafer surface is subjected to treatment to remove oxidized films existing on a wafer surface and the front surfaces of the ground surfaces of grooves and holes formed on the wafer surface. SOLUTION: The surface of the wafer 9 is subjected to plating by successively replacing a treating liquid for removing the oxidized films existing on the wafer surface and the front surfaces of the ground surfaces of grooves and holes formed on the wafer surface, and a treating liquid to remove the oxidized film in one plating vessel 1 and the plating liquid to apply plating are successively replaced in the wafer plating apparatus which applies the plating on the wafer sufficiently after removing the oxidized films described above. The removal of the oxidized films and the formation of the plating films are continuously executed within the one plating vessel 1 in such a manner, by which the plating treatment may be executed without the exposure of the wafer 9 into the air after the removal treatment of the oxidized films and, therefore, the formation of the plating films before the oxidized films are formed again is made possible.
