Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate a higher fatty acid metallic salt insoluble with a water, at a high rate, which is produced by the reaction between a higher fatty acid in slurry or a higher fatty acid alkali and a metallic ion melted out from a metallic alloy plating film in a substrate working process, and also to fully eliminate an impurity metal having a high oxidation-reduction potential, such as Cu.  <P>SOLUTION: A substrate washing process is included in this method, by which the higher fatty acid metallic salt such as a heptanoic acid Ni produced by the reaction of the higher fatty acid alkali such as a heptanoic potassium in the slurry with a metallic ion such as Ni ion melted out from the metallic alloy plating such as Ni-P is washed and removed by converting it to a higher fatty acid such as the heptanoic acid by immersing it in the aqueous solution of acid such as a malic acid. In the aqueous solution of acid, a chelating agent such as an ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) is contained for preventing a re-precipitation by the substitution with a metal constituting the metallic alloy plating of the impurity metal melted out to the aqueous solution of the acid, which is the impurity metal having the oxidation-reduction potential higher than that of the metal constituting the metallic alloy plating.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
