    摘要: Fixtures and methods for clamping workpieces in a workplace to enable the optimized exposure thereof to a stream or flow of a supercritical fluid. Provided is a rotatably indexable chuck or locator mounting the workpiece and enabling orientating the latter in specific static pitch position within a high pressure vessel in order to subject the workpiece to a full frontal exposure to the supercritical fluid stream within the vessel. This mounting arrangement facilitates an optimum positioning of the workpiece being processed in the flow path of the supercritical fluid stream while oriented in selectively indexed rotational positions.

    摘要: An electrolytic processing apparatus can planarize uniformly over an entire surface of a substrate under a low pressure without any damages to the substrate. The electrolytic processing apparatus has a substrate holder configured to hold and rotate a substrate having a metal film formed on a surface of the substrate and an electrolytic processing unit configured to perform an electrolytic process on the substrate held by the substrate holder. The electrolytic processing unit has a rotatable processing electrode, a polishing pad attached to the rotatable processing electrode, and a pressing mechanism configured to press the polishing pad against the substrate. The electrolytic processing unit also has a liquid supply mechanism configured to supply an electrolytic processing liquid between the substrate and the rotatable processing electrode, a relative movement mechanism operable to move the substrate and the rotatable processing electrode relative to each other, and a power supply configured to applying a voltage between the rotatable processing electrode and the metal film of the substrate so that the rotatable processing electrode serves as a cathode and the metal film of the substrate serves as an anode.

    摘要: An electroplating cell includes a floor, ceiling, front wall, and back wall forming a box having first and second opposite open ends. A rack for supporting an article to be electroplated is removably positioned vertically to close the first open end and includes a thief laterally surrounding the article to define a cathode. An anode is positioned vertically to close the second open end, with the assembly defining a substantially closed, six-sided inner chamber for receiving an electrolyte therein for electroplating the article. The article and surrounding thief are coextensively aligned with the anode, with the floor, ceiling, front and back walls being effective for guiding electrical current flux between the cathode and the anode. In a preferred embodiment, the cell is disposed as an inner cell inside an outer cell substantially filled with the electrolyte, and a paddle is disposed inside the inner cell for agitating the electrolyte therein. The rack is removable and installable vertically upwardly which allows for automated handling thereof.
