Abstract

A plating computer having a plating cell with an interior processing volume configured to contain a plating solution for a plating process, a cell mounting platform connected at least at a first point to an actuator and at a second point to a movable attachment member, a rotatable substrate support member positioned in the processing volume and having a longitudinally extending shaft extending from a non-substrate engaging side of the support member, a transducer coupled to the longitudinally extending shaft and being configured to impart energy to the substrate support member via the shaft, and at least one detachable chemistry module in fluid communication with the processing volume.
