Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A substrate W having a non-plateable material portion 31 and a plateable material portion 32 formed on a surface thereof is prepared, and then, a catalyst is selectively imparted to the plateable material portion 32 by performing a catalyst imparting processing on the substrate W. Thereafter, a plating layer 35 is selectively formed on the plateable material portion 32 by performing a plating processing on the substrate W. Before the imparting of the catalyst, an organic film 36 is formed on the substrate W by supplying an organic liquid L1 onto the substrate W.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A plating method, comprising: preparing a substrate having, on a surface thereof, a non-plateable material portion to which a catalyst is not substantially adsorbed and a plateable material portion to which the catalyst is adsorbed and made of a different material from the non-plateable material portion, the non-plateable material portion and the plateable material portion being exposed to the surface of the substrate; imparting a catalyst selectively to the plateable material portion by performing a catalyst imparting processing on the substrate; and forming a plating layer selectively on the plateable material portion by performing a plating processing on the substrate, wherein, before the imparting of the catalyst, forming an organic film is performed on the non-plateable material portion and the plateable material portion of the substrate by supplying an organic liquid, which suppresses the catalyst from adhering to the non-plateable material portion, onto the substrate, and the organic film has a thickness that does not suppress the catalyst from adhering to the plateable material portion. 2. The plating method of claim 1 , further comprising: removing, after the imparting of the catalyst and before the forming of the plating layer, the organic film by performing a cleaning processing on the substrate. 3. The plating method of claim 1 , further comprising: heat-treating the substrate after the forming of the organic film and before the imparting of the catalyst. 4. The plating method of claim 1 , wherein the substrate includes a base member made of the plateable material portion and a core member which is protruded from the base member and is made of the non-plateable material portion. 5. The plating method of claim 1 , wherein the organic liquid contains polyvinylpyrrolidone.
