Claims6
A system comprising:
- a point-of-use process chamber including a drain and configured to apply a plating solution to plate one or more wafers by spray, microcell, or spin on;
- a plurality of tanks to separately hold constituent chemicals of the plating solution;
- a piping system having a plurality of segments, including a plurality of in-line heaters for a subset of the segments, to separately route, in-line heat, and after heating, mix, at a mixing point, the constituent chemicals of the plating solution to form the plating solution, substantially just prior to application to the one or more wafers;
- and
- a system controller configured to receive results of a qualification analysis of the plating solution and control a supply to the mixing point of the constituent chemicals, by interfacing with the plurality of tanks, based on the qualification analysis.
