ABSTRACT:
An automatic wafer plating equipment for automatically plating wafers and more particularly, for automatically plating a small lot of wafers is disclosed. The automatic wafer plating equipment includes a transfer robot provided with a holding arm for pivoting, vertical movement, extending and extracting, a load stage, an orientation stage, a plating stage, a recovery stage, and a cleaning stage. The transfer robot carries out a series of the following operations for plating process. The wafers are picked up one by one from a supply cassette loaded to the load stage. The wafer is then fed to the orientation stage. The wafer orientated at the orientation stage is conveyed to the plating stage. The plated wafer is transferred from the plating stage to the recovery stage. When residue of a plating liquid has been recovered at the recovery stage, the wafer is conveyed to the cleaning stage.
