Abstract

This invention provides an electrodeposition apparatus, comprising at least one electrodeposition vessel for supplying a current between a substrate and an electrode in an electrodeposition bath to form an oxide film or the substrate and a rinsing means for rinsing the substrate after passing the electrodeposition tank with water, wherein a humidifying means for preventing drying of at least the film forming surface of the substrate is provided along the transporting path of the substrate at least at the exit side of the electrodeposition vessel and an oxide film forming method. Thus a uniform oxide film without unevenness can be formed on the substrate.
