Abstract:
An apparatus for nickel plating, comprising:a Niâ€”B plating bath containing a Niâ€”B plating solution in which a substrate is immersed for electroless Niâ€”B deposition; a Niâ€”P plating bath containing a Niâ€”P plating solution in which the substrate having the Niâ€”B layer formed thereon is immersed for electroless Niâ€”P deposition; a transporting member for transporting the substrate from the Niâ€”B plating bath to the Niâ€”P plating bath; and a drying-protection means for preventing drying of the Niâ€”B layer formed on the substrate during the transportation of the substrate from the Niâ€”B plating bath to the Niâ€”P plating bath, wherein the drying-protection means comprises a cooler for cooling the Niâ€”B layer.
