    摘要: The present disclosure provides a substrate processing apparatus and a protective layer forming method that can protect surfaces of metal regions after a polishing process from oxidation and adhesion of cutting chips and particles caused in a process after polishing. The substrate processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a polishing device for polishing a semiconductor substrate, a protective layer forming device for forming a protective layer on a surface of the substrate using a silane coupling agent or a resin protective film agent, and a control device. The control device controls the polishing device and the protective layer forming device such that the protective layer forming device forms the protective layer on the substrate after the polishing device finishes polishing the substrate.

    摘要: There is provided a feeder capable of reducing deterioration of the contact state between the feeder and an anode more than the prior art as dissolution of the anode progresses. The feeder can supply power to the anode 5 for use in plating a substrate in a plating tank. The feeder includes a main body portion 1 which can be disposed on an outer periphery of the anode 5 and a spring 88 which is disposed in the main body portion 1 and can apply a first force 100 to the main body portion 1 in a direction from the main body portion 1 toward a region 80 surrounded by the main body portion 1.

    摘要: A plating method includes holding a substrate with a substrate holder while bringing a sealing member into pressure contact with a peripheral portion of the substrate to form an enclosed internal space in the substrate holder; performing a first-stage leakage test of the substrate holder by producing a vacuum in the internal space and checking whether pressure in the internal space reaches a predetermined vacuum pressure within a certain period of time; and if the substrate holder has passed the first-stage leakage test, performing a second-stage leakage test of the substrate holder by closing off the internal space after producing the vacuum therein and checking whether a change in the pressure in the internal space reaches a predetermined value within a certain period of time.

    摘要: There is provided a method of adjusting a plating apparatus and a measuring apparatus that can obtain position adjustment amounts/a position adjustment amount of a substrate holder, an anode holder, a regulation plate, and/or a paddle without carrying out plating treatment. There is provided the method of adjusting the plating apparatus that has a plating bath configured to be able to hold the substrate holder, the anode holder, and an electric field adjusting plate. The method of adjusting the plating apparatus has the steps of: installing a first jig at a position in the plating bath where the substrate holder is installed; installing a second jig at a position in the plating bath where the anode holder or the electric field adjusting plate is installed; measuring a positional relation between the first jig and the second jig installed in the plating bath using a sensor included in either of the first jig and the second jig; and adjusting an installation position of the substrate holder, the anode holder, or the electric field adjusting plate based on the measured positional relation.

    摘要: A substrate holder includes: a first holding member having a surface configured to come into contact with the substrate; and a second holding member, between which and the first holding member the substrate is put and held. The second holding member includes a removal portion that is disposed along an outer circumference of the substrate and configured to come into contact with the substrate and remove an insulating material on the substrate when the substrate is put between the first holding member and the second holding member, and an electric contact portion that is disposed along the outer circumference of the substrate and configured to come into contact with a region on the substrate in which the removal portion has removed the insulating material when the substrate is put and held between the first holding member and the second holding member.
