Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2664692A2] A plating apparatus plates a substrate with Sn alloy to form an Sn alloy film on a surface of the substrate. The apparatus includes: a plating bath for retaining a plating solution therein, the substrate being immersed in the plating solution in a position opposite to an insoluble anode; a plating solution dialysis line for extracting the plating solution from the plating bath and returning the plating solution to the plating bath; a dialysis cell provided in the plating solution dialysis line and configured to remove a free acid from the plating solution by dialysis using an anion exchange membrane; a free acid concentration analyzer; and a controller for controlling a flow rate of the plating solution flowing through the plating solution dialysis line based on the concentration of the free acid measured by the free acid concentration analyzer.
