摘要: A substrate heat treatment apparatus for heat treating a substrate, comprising a bake plate, a plurality of support components, a baffle plate, and a driving device. The bake plate defines at least one gas passage. The plurality of support components support the substrate. The baffle plate is fixed on a top surface of the bake plate. The baffle plate surrounds the substrate and a gap is formed between an inner circumferential wall of the baffle plate and the substrate. A driving device drives the plurality of support components to move up or down. When heat treating the substrate, a hot gas is supplied to the space between the substrate and the top surface of the bake plate through the gas passage of the bake plate, and the hot gas flows out through the gap formed between the inner circumferential wall of the baffle plate and the substrate.

摘要: Disclosed in one embodiment of the present invention is an electroplating apparatus and an electroplating method. The electroplating apparatus comprises a plurality of paddles arranged in parallel. The paddles move in a direction parallel to a substrate, and are used to stir electroplating solution. Within one cycle, the paddles perform reciprocating motion at a set stroke, and the turning points of the reciprocating motion are related to the width of the paddles and the narrowest width of a gap between adjacent paddles. According to the present invention, by designing the size and movement mode of the paddles, the accumulated time in which each corresponding point on the substrate is blocked by the paddles is equal, so that the received quantity of electricity is equal, and thus the consistency of an electroplating height is further improved.

摘要: The present invention discloses a plating apparatus. The plating apparatus comprises a multiple electrodes. The multiple electrodes include a main electrode and at least two second electrodes. The main electrode and the at least two second electrodes respectively generate an electric field in a corresponding area on the surface of a wafer. The main electrode and the at least two second electrodes respectively have a control interface. By selecting the combination of the control relationship between each second electrode and the main electrode, the wafers with different sizes or different notch shapes are plated, and the control relationship is independent control or joint control. The plating apparatus of the present invention can plate wafers with different sizes or different notch shapes without replacing the whole plating chamber.
