- the nozzle 50 is moved to above the center of the wafer W held by the wafer holding unit 10 by the moving mechanism 51. Thereafter, the plating solution M is supplied from the nozzle 50 to the center of the wafer W while rotating the wafer W by the drive mechanism 11. The supplied plating solution M is diffused over the entire surface of the wafer W by centrifugal force. At this time, as the wafer W rotates, the plating solution M is uniformly diffused within the wafer surface.

- the wafer W held on the base 21 of the electrolytic processing jig 20 or the wafer holder 10 has a minute surface roughness and a minute inclination, that is, the surface of the wafer W is completely It is not flat. Due to these factors, when the electrolytic processing jig 20 is lowered and the terminals 22 are brought into contact with the wafer W, the timing at which the terminals 22 come into contact with the wafer W varies.
- a case will be described in which all of the plurality of terminals 22 are in contact with the wafer W in order to facilitate understanding of the technology.

- the height position P2 is the origin height when teaching the height adjustment of the electrolytic processing jig 20 by the moving mechanism 40, for example.
- step S2 as shown in FIG. 6, the load measuring unit 46 contacts the support plate 43, and the load measuring unit 46 measures the load. In other words, the contact of the first terminal 22a is detected by the load measuring unit 46 measuring a predetermined load.
- step S2 no current flows between the terminals 22 and 22, and the resistance value measured by the detection unit 31 is infinite as in step S1.
- the electrolytic treatment jig 20 is further lowered as shown in FIG. 7, the second terminal 22b comes into contact with the wafer W (step S3 in Table 1). At this time, the height position of the electrolytic treatment jig 20 is P3.
- step S3 a current flows through the wafer W between the first terminal 22a and the second terminal 22b. Then, the detection unit 31 measures a predetermined resistance value corresponding to the resistance value of the wafer W. In other words, the contact of the second terminal 22b is detected by the detection unit 31 measuring a predetermined resistance value.
- step S3 the load is measured by the load measuring unit 46.
- the load applied to one terminal 22 is 1 ⁇ 2 of the load measured by the load measuring unit 46.
- the electrolytic treatment jig 20 is further lowered, the third to eighth terminals 22 are sequentially brought into contact with the wafer W, and all the terminals 22 are brought into contact with the wafer W (step S4 in Table 1). ).
- the height position of the electrolytic treatment jig 20 is P4.
- the height position P2 at which the first terminal 22a comes into contact with the wafer W is the origin height when performing the height adjustment teaching of the electrolytic processing jig 20, but in this teaching, The position P4 is used as a height at which all the terminals 22 contact the wafer W.
- step S4 a current flows between the terminals 22 and 22 via the wafer W as in step S3. Then, the detection unit 31 measures a predetermined resistance value corresponding to the resistance value of the wafer W. In other words, the contact of each terminal 22b is detected by the detection unit 31 measuring a predetermined resistance value.
- step S4 the load is measured by the load measuring unit 46.
- the load applied to one terminal 22 is obtained by dividing the load measured by the load measuring unit 46 by the number of terminals in contact.
- the electrolytic treatment jig 20 is further lowered by a predetermined distance, for example, 1 mm (step S5 in Table 1).
- the height position of the electrolytic processing jig 20 is P5
- the distance between the upper surface 10a of the wafer holder 10 and the lower surface 21a of the base 21 of the electrolytic processing jig 20 is about 1 mm. If all the terminals 22 are in contact with the wafer W in step S4, it is possible to start the subsequent plating process. In this way, the terminal is further lowered by lowering the electrolytic processing jig 20 in step S5. The contact between the wafer 22 and the wafer W can be made more reliable.
- the load applied to each terminal 22 is appropriately controlled by controlling the moving mechanism 40 based on the load measured by the load measuring unit 46. Maintain the load. Then, an electrical contact can be formed between the terminal 22 and the wafer W even for a thin film such as an oxide film or a material with high hardness that makes contact formation difficult.
- the electrode 23 is directly brought into contact with the plating solution M on the wafer W.

- the detection unit 31 detects a current flowing through the first terminal 22, that is, detects an open / short circuit in the first terminal 22. Thereby, the contact of the first terminal 22 is detected. At this time, detection of the contact of the first terminal 22 using the load measuring unit 46 may be omitted.

It may be provided. For example, when one of the plurality of terminals 22 becomes non-conductive (for example, when the resistance value detected by the detection unit 31 changes), the terminal 22 may be broken or damaged. . In such a case, the contact of the terminal 22 with the wafer W becomes defective, and as a result, the plating process cannot be performed properly.
- steps S2 to S4 when the contact failure of the terminal 22 is detected by the detection portion 31, a warning is issued from the warning portion, and the contact failure terminal 22 is replaced. Thereby, the plating process in subsequent process S6, S7 can be performed appropriately, and the yield of the wafer W as a product can be improved.
