    摘要: There is provided a powder supply apparatus that prevents powder from scattering as much as possible. There is provided the powder supply apparatus that supplies a powder containing a metal used for a plating to a plating solution. This powder supply apparatus includes a plating solution tank, a feed pipe, a gas supply line, and a spiral-air-flow-generating component. The plating solution tank is configured to house the plating solution. The feed pipe is configured to feed the powder into the plating solution tank. The gas supply line is configured to supply a gas. The spiral-air-flow-generating component is configured to receive the gas from the gas supply line to generate a spiral air flow heading toward the plating solution tank inside the feed pipe.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a fluid head that is configured to eject a first fluid (e.g., a liquid state fluid) and a second fluid (e.g., a gaseous state fluid). The fluid head is movable in a rotatable-fashion and a translatable-fashion such that the fluid head may be utilized to increase a speed and decrease a period of time for cleaning and drying a workpiece after an electro-chemical polishing (ECP) process or step. The fluid head may also be utilized to increase a speed and decrease a period of time for beveling an edge of a conductive layer on the workpiece. The present disclosure is also directed to methods for cleaning and drying the workpiece as well as beveling the conductive layer of the workpiece utilizing the fluid head.

    摘要: Provided is a plating process that enables merits of an insoluble anode to be sufficiently enjoyed in a jet type plating equipment. Also provided is a plating equipment having a plating tank including an opening part; a solution supply piping; an insoluble anode; and an diaphragm, an diaphragm outer peripheral end being fixed to a plating tank inner wall, a through-hole being provided in an diaphragm center, a hole peripheral end of the through-hole being fixed to the solution supply piping, the diaphragm being arranged so as to be inclined upward in an outer circumferential direction from the solution supply piping. A silicon ring is firmly fixed to each of the outer peripheral end of the diaphragm and a hole edge of the through-hole of the diaphragm. The solution supply piping supplies the plating solution to an upper catholyte chamber in the plating tank, the upper catholyte chamber being formed by the diaphragm and the placed object to be plated. An annular flow passage including a solution ejection hole in an upper part thereof is provided in an outer circumference of the solution supply piping, and a lower anolyte chamber solution is supplied from the solution ejection hole to a lower anolyte chamber in the plating tank, the lower anolyte chamber being formed below the diaphragm, whereby a flow that moves from around the through-hole of the diaphragm toward the outer circumferential direction of the diaphragm is formed in the lower piping isolation chamber solution.
