Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for electropolishing an electroconductive film on a wafer. SOLUTION: The apparatus comprises a wafer chuck (1002) for holding a wafer, an actuator (1000) for rotating the wafer chuck, and a nozzle (1010) constructed so as to electropolish the wafer. It is also possible that the apparatus further comprises an electroconductive ring or shroud (1006). The method for electropolishing an electroconductive film on a wafer comprises rotating a wafer chuck at a velocity sufficient for an electrolyte fluid injected onto the wafer to flow toward the wafer edge on the surface of the wafer.
