The Semi-Automatic TSV Plating Equipment is a core process tool specifically designed for Through-Silicon Via technology development and small-to-medium volume production. It utilizes a precision electrochemical deposition system to fill millions of micron-scale deep holes on wafers with high-purity metals (such as copper), enabling vertical electrical interconnections in 3D chip stacking. Operating in a "semi-automatic" mode, the equipment requires manual wafer loading/unloading and initial alignment, while subsequent critical processes—including degassing, plating, cleaning, and drying—are fully automated. This ensures high uniformity, void-free filling, and excellent step coverage within the TSVs.
