Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a copper oxide solid for use in plating of a substrate using an insoluble anode. Further the present invention relates to a method of producing the copper oxide solid. Further the present invention relates to an apparatus for supplying a plating solution in which the copper oxide solid is dissolved into a plating tank. A copper oxide solid (CS) to be supplied into a plating solution for plating a substrate (W) includes a copper oxide powder and a liquid as a binder to solidify the copper oxide powder.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A copper oxide solid to be supplied into a plating solution for plating a substrate, comprising: a copper oxide powder; and a liquid as a binder to bind the copper oxide powder, the liquid comprising the plating solution to which no additives have been added. 2. The copper oxide solid according to claim 1 , wherein the copper oxide solid comprises: an outer portion comprising a surface of the copper oxide solid; and an inner portion located inside the outer portion, and a water content of the outer portion is larger than a water content of the inner portion. 3. The copper oxide solid according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the copper oxide solid has a concavo-convex shape.
