Definitions
- This application relates to a plating apparatus and a cleaning method for cleaning a substrate holder.
- Patent Document 1 there is known an apparatus that performs electrolytic plating by inserting a substrate held by a substrate holder vertically into a plating tank containing a plating solution (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Also known is an apparatus that performs electrolytic plating by holding a substrate held by a substrate holder in a horizontal direction (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
- the substrate holder used in such a plating apparatus has a seal ring holder equipped with a seal that seals the surface of the substrate, and a base plate.
- the substrate holder seals the surface of the substrate to form a space into which the plating solution cannot enter.
- the substrate holder has electrical contacts in this space that come into contact with the surface of the substrate to pass a current through the substrate.
- the surface of the substrate is appropriately sealed to prevent the plating solution from entering the space.
- the plating solution may enter the space due to an abnormality in the seal. If the plating solution enters the space, it may come into contact with the electrical contacts, which may corrode the electrical contacts. For this reason, if a so-called leak occurs in the substrate holder and the plating solution comes into contact with the electrical contacts, it is necessary to clean the electrical contacts.
- the substrate and the substrate holder are cleaned in a rinse module to wash away the remaining plating solution adhering to the substrate holder.
- a cleaning device for cleaning the sealing members of the substrate holder is known (see Patent Document 3).
- Patent No. 3979847 US Patent Publication No. 2014/0318977 JP 2008-45179 A
- the cleaning liquid may cause the substrate holder to not seal properly or may cause poor contact between the electrical contacts and the substrate.
- the above-mentioned patent document does not consider measures to deal with residual cleaning liquid remaining on the substrate holder. This problem is not limited to plating devices that use a method in which the electrical contacts and substrate come into contact in a space that the plating liquid does not enter, and it is preferable to remove cleaning liquid remaining on the substrate holder even in a method in which the electrical contacts of the substrate holder are immersed in the plating liquid.
- one of the objectives of this application is to remove the cleaning solution remaining after cleaning the substrate holder in a plating apparatus.
- a plating apparatus which includes a substrate holder that holds a substrate and has electrical contacts for supplying power to the substrate, a holder cleaning tank for cleaning the substrate holder when the substrate holder is not holding the substrate, a holder drying tank for drying the substrate holder that has been cleaned in the holder cleaning tank, and a transport device for transporting the substrate holder between the holder cleaning tank and the holder drying tank.
- a cleaning method for cleaning a substrate holder having electrical contacts for supplying power to a substrate in a plating apparatus, the cleaning method including the steps of transporting the substrate holder not holding a substrate to a cleaning tank by a transport device, cleaning the substrate holder in the cleaning tank, transporting the cleaned substrate holder from the cleaning tank to a drying tank, and drying the substrate holder in the drying tank.
