    摘要: Systems and methods for electroplating are described. The electroplating system may include a vessel configured to hold a first portion of a liquid electrolyte. The system may also include a substrate holder configured for holding a substrate in the vessel. The system may further include a first reservoir in fluid communication with the vessel. In addition, the system may include a second reservoir in fluid communication with the vessel. Furthermore, the system may include a first mechanism configured to expel a second portion of the liquid electrolyte from the first reservoir into the vessel. The system may also include a second mechanism configured to take in a third potion of the liquid electrolyte from the vessel into the second reservoir when the second portion of the liquid electrolyte is expelled from the first reservoir. Methods may include oscillating flow of the electrolyte within the vessel.

    摘要: Efficiency of a cleaning process and a degassing process for a surface to be processed of a substrate is improved.
    A pre-wet module 200 includes a stage 220, a rotation mechanism 224, a pre-wet chamber 260, an elevating mechanism 230, a degassing liquid supply member 204, a nozzle 268, and a cleaning liquid supply member 202. The stage 220 is configured to hold a back surface of a substrate WF with a surface to be processed WF-a facing upward. The rotation mechanism 224 is configured to rotate the stage 220. The pre-wet chamber 260 includes a lid member 262 and a tubular member 264. The lid member 262 has an opposed surface 262a opposed to the surface to be processed WF-a of the substrate WF. The tubular member 264 is installed on an outer edge portion of the opposed surface 262a of the lid member 262. The elevating mechanism 230 is configured to move up and down the pre-wet chamber 260. The degassing liquid supply member 204 is configured to supply a degassing liquid to a pre-wet space 269 formed between the pre-wet chamber 260 and the surface to be processed WF-a of the substrate WF. The nozzle 268 is installed on the opposed surface 262a of the lid member 262. The cleaning liquid supply member 202 is configured to supply a cleaning liquid to the surface to be processed WF-a of the substrate WF via the nozzle 268.
