<p>In electroplating a wafer, the front and/or back side of the wafer is heated or cooled during processing. The wafer may be in contact with a backing plate of an electroplating processor. The backing plate may be heated via electrical heaters, by radiant heaters, or via a heated liquid or gas. The backing plate may alternatively be cooled using electric coolers or cooled liquid or gas. The heated or cooled backing plate then heats or cools the back side of the wafer largely via conduction.</p> |
