Method of forming a plated layer to a predetermined thickness

Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide a plating method capable of planarization process of high quality in comparison with the conventional plating method and also provide a plating device and a plating system adopting the plating method of the invention. In the plating method and device, an object 10 to be processed and an electrode plate 20 are dipped in a solution including objective metal ions and a forward current is supplied between the object and the electrode plate to educe a metal on the surface of the object. After forming a plating film on the object excessively, a backward current is supplied between the object 10 and the electrode 20 to uniformly remove at least part of superfluous plating film.
