ABSTRACT:
A self contained unit for forming Cu metallurgy interconnection structures on SC substrates. The unit has an enclosed chamber with a plurality of apparatus for performing wet processes, including electroless metal plating and planarization. The unit provides a way of reducing the number of times the wafer is transferred between the wet process steps that require less environmental cleanliness and dry very clean processes steps.
