Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A plating apparatus according to the present disclosure includes an anode holder configured to hold an anode; a substrate holder placed opposite the anode holder and configured to hold a substrate; and an anode mask installed on a front face of the anode holder and provided with a first opening adapted to allow passage of an electric current flowing between an anode and the substrate. The diameter of the first opening in the anode mask is configured to be adjustable. When a first substrate is plated, a diameter of the first opening is adjusted to a first diameter. When a second substrate is plated, the diameter of the first opening is adjusted to a second diameter smaller than the first diameter.
