  • Patent number: 8225803
    Abstract: A substrate processing method and apparatus can securely carry out a pre-plating treatment that enables uniform plating in the necessary area of the surface of a substrate. The substrate processing method carries out a cleaning treatment and a catalyst-imparting treatment of a surface of a substrate as pre-plating treatments and then electroless plates a metal film on the catalyst-imparted surface of the substrate. The cleaning treatment is carried out in a wider area of the surface of the substrate than that area to which a catalyst is imparted by the catalyst-imparting treatment.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20050158478
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus has a processing tank (10) for plating a substrate (W) in a plating solution (Q) holds therein, a cover (40) for selectively opening and closing an opening (11) of the processing tank (10), a spraying nozzle (60) mounted on an upper surface of the cover (40), and a substrate head (80) for attracting a reverse side of the substrate (W) to hold the substrate (W). With the cover (40) removed from the opening (11) of the processing tank (10), the substrate head (80) is lowered to dip the substrate (W) in the plating solution (Q) for thereby plating the substrate (W). When the substrate head (80) is lifted and the opening (11) of the processing tank (10) is closed by the cover (40), the substrate (W) is cleaned by the spraying nozzle (60).
