Electroless plating method, electroless plating device, and production method and production device of semiconductor device

摘要

The invention is purposed to reduce the amount of the electroless plating solution used for plating, to facilitate compositional control of the plating solution, and to prevent degradation of quality of the plating film (deposit) by oxygen dissolved in the plating solution. An electroless plating method in which a previously prepared electroless plating solution is exposed to a depressurized atmosphere to decrease the gas components existing in the solution, and while maintaining the plating solution in the form of a continuous thin layer, the surface to be plated of the substrate on which to form an electroless plating film is brought into contact with said layer of the plating solution and maintained in this state for a required period of time to perform electroless plating. An electroless plating device, and a production method and a production device of semiconductor devices are also disclosed.
