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 supplying a plating liquid M1 onto the substrate W. The plating liquid M1 contains an inhibitor which suppresses the plating layer 35 from being precipitated on the non-plateable material portion 31.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1 . A plating method, comprising: preparing a substrate having a non-plateable material portion and a plateable material portion formed on a surface thereof; 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 supplying a plating liquid onto the substrate, wherein the plating liquid contains an inhibitor which suppresses the plating layer from being precipitated on the non-plateable material portion. 2 . The plating method of claim 1 , wherein the inhibitor is bis(3-sulfopropyl)disulfide (SPS) or polymer having an amino group. 3 . 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. 4 . A plating apparatus, comprising: a substrate holding unit configured to hold a substrate having a plateable material portion and a non-plateable material portion on a surface thereof; a catalyst imparting unit configured to impart a catalyst selectively to the plateable material portion by performing a catalyst imparting processing on the substrate; and a plating liquid supply unit configured to form a plating layer selectively on the plateable material portion by supplying a plating liquid onto the substrate, wherein the plating liquid contains an inhibitor which suppresses the plating layer from being precipitated on the non-plateable material portion. 5 . The plating apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the inhibitor is bis(3-sulfopropyl)disulfide (SPS) or polymer having an amino group. 6 . A computer-readable recording medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a plating apparatus to perform a plating method as claimed in claim 1 .
