PLATING SYSTEM FOR SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIALS

摘要

A semiconductor workpiece processing tool (10) includes a processing module (20) having particular applicability to an electroplating process for semiconductor wafers. The processing module (20) has plural processing bowls assemblies (603) each having an outer bowl (616) and an inner cup (620). Fluid is provided to the cup (620) through an opening (628) in the bottom. Fluid overflows the cup (620) and drains into a fluid reservoir (604). Reservoir (604) is preferably used as both the supply and the return for the process fluid. FIlters (630) can be included in each cup to filter process fluid entering the cup. The plurality of the processing bowls can have a common reservoir.
