For this reason, in the pattern plating process and the peeling process, the object to be processed can be prevented from contacting the conveyance roller, etc., damage to the pattern can be reduced or eliminated, and the occurrence of defects such as pattern disconnection or short circuit can be suppressed.
而且,在圖案鍍覆製程與剝離製程之間搬運路徑為連續的緣故,在製程間沒有必要進行處理對象物的拆卸或安裝。為此,不會招致作業效率的下降、工時的增加、或搬運裝置的分割所致之裝置的大型化或複雜化,而且也不會發生因處理對象物的拆卸及安裝所致之不良。 Moreover, because the conveying path is continuous between the pattern plating process and the peeling process, it is not necessary to remove or install the processing object between the processes.

根據第4樣態的導體形成裝置,可以把基板的表面的略全域被水膜覆蓋的狀態的處理對象物供給到圖案鍍覆裝置。經此,可以把基板的表面的空氣氧化抑制在最小限,在鍍覆前處理之因化學藥品所致之強力的氧化被覆膜去除處理變成非必要。而且,可以良好保持基板的表面的親水性的緣故,可以大幅削減在水洗處理所需要的水量。 According to the conductor forming apparatus of the fourth aspect, it is possible to supply the object to be processed in a state where substantially the entire surface of the substrate is covered with a water film to the pattern plating apparatus. With this, the air oxidation on the surface of the substrate can be suppressed to a minimum, and the strong oxide film removal treatment due to chemicals in the pre-plating treatment becomes unnecessary. Furthermore, since the hydrophilicity of the surface of the substrate can be maintained well, the amount of water required for the water washing process can be greatly reduced.
而且,從顯影到圖案鍍覆為止連續保持基板的全表面被水膜覆蓋的狀態的緣故,可以顯著降低起因於在基板表面所形成的阻材皮膜電路的凹部所陷入的氣泡所致之鍍覆的析出不良。 In addition, since the entire surface of the substrate is continuously covered with water film from development to pattern plating, it is possible to significantly reduce plating caused by bubbles trapped in the recesses of the resist film circuit formed on the surface of the substrate. The precipitation is poor.
本發明的第5樣態的導體形成裝置,係在第2或是第3樣態的導體形成裝置中,具備:配置在圖案鍍覆裝置與剝離裝置之間,沿搬運路徑被搬運的處理對象物所 通過之第2搬運室。在第2搬運室,為了防止處理對象物乾燥,設有把第2搬運室加溼之第2加溼單元。 The conductor forming apparatus of the fifth aspect of the present invention is the conductor forming apparatus of the second or third aspect, and includes: a processing object that is disposed between the pattern plating device and the peeling device and is conveyed along the conveyance path The second transfer room through which the property passes. In the second transfer room, in order to prevent drying of the processed objects, a second humidification unit is provided to humidify the second transfer room.
根據第5樣態的導體形成裝置,可以把非乾燥狀態(溼潤狀態)的處理對象物供給到剝離製程。經此,可以把基板的表面保持在總是被水浸溼的狀態,可以良好地保持親水性。 According to the conductor forming apparatus of the fifth aspect, it is possible to supply the processing target in a non-dry state (wet state) to the peeling process. With this, the surface of the substrate can be kept in a state where it is always wetted by water, and the hydrophilicity can be maintained well.
而且,涵蓋圖案鍍覆後的基板全域保持已被形成薄的水膜的情況下處理對象物朝剝離製程遞送的緣故,特別是可以得到防止朝阻材皮膜上附著油膜或異物的效果,可以充分且確實排除阻礙阻材剝離液與阻材皮膜接觸的因子。 In addition, when the entire area of the substrate after pattern plating is kept as a thin water film, the object to be processed is delivered to the peeling process. In particular, the effect of preventing adhesion of oil film or foreign matter to the resist film can be obtained, which is sufficient And surely eliminate factors that hinder the contact between the barrier stripping liquid and the barrier film.
根據本發明,可以圖求品質的安定化及作業效率的提升。 According to the present invention, it is possible to stabilize the quality and improve the work efficiency.
