  • Patent number: 7449091
    Abstract: A wafer electroplating apparatus with a function of bubble removal includes an electroplating bath main body and a fixing device. The electroplating bath main body has an inlet device, a first de-bubble tank and at least an air hole. The fixing device has a second de-bubble tank and an outer shell. The air hole guides gathering bubbles to an outside of the electroplating bath main body so as to remove bubbles. The fixing device can be put into the first de-bubble tank within the electroplating bath main body to form a de-bubble area and is separated easily therefrom to clean the wafer electroplating apparatus. The electroplating bath main body further includes a baffle for rectifying electroplating solution flow before entering the inlet device.

  • Patent number: 7021208
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a compress and position apparatus with positioning, orientating functions and providing more uniform pressing force compliantly. The compress and position apparatus comprises a guiding column, a base, a housing, a seat, a annular portion and a pressing plate. The base has a cylinder, a plurality of locating pins and a convex portion. The annular portion has a through hole and a plurality of locating holes. The guiding column and the cylinder are disposed in the housing provided with an opening for the guiding column passing therethrough. The housing is mounted on the base and passed through a through hole of the annular portion and disposed in a cavity of the seat. A plane on the housing abuts a plane on the cavity to prevent the rotation of the housing. The guiding column is combined with the seat. The locating pin is inserted into the locating hole. The pressing plate engages the annular portion. Thus the guiding column is moved up and down by the gas supply device.

  • Publication number: 20030107132
    Abstract: A metal bumping structure on the input/output connector of a substrate or wafer, which is a metal conductor composed of multiple metal layers overlap the connector pad, characterized in that the overlapped outer or upper metal layer is thinner than the inner or lower metal layer, and the outer or upper metal layer that form the pillar style whose conductivity, connectivity and corrosion resist are better than the inner or lower metal layer, such that the bumping connector has better conductivity, connectivity and not easy to be corroded. It combines the photoresist, exposure, development with the electroless plating method to form the patterns and shapes of the expected object; wherein, the photoresist is to limit the deposition direction of the electroless, plating. If no limit on the electroless plating, it will cause isotropic deposition, as to simultaneously strive upward and around increasing; thus the photoresist is to assist with the electroless plating to form expected patterns and shapes.
