This approach has been adopted to enhance the efficiency of evaluating supplier responses across both stages (SPD and ITT). The electroplating system shall be a fully enclosed, floor-standing tool designed for electrolytic copper deposition on 200 mm wafers for R&D and pilot-scale manufacturing. It shall provide programmable control of key process parameters including current, voltage, waveform, wafer rotation, bath temperature and electrolyte flow, enabling precise tuning of deposition conditions. The system shall support DC and pulse/pulse-reverse plating modes for copper films and be constructed entirely from FM-4910-compliant materials, suitable for installation in a cleanroom environment.
