Electroplating equipment and electroplating fluid disturbance device thereof
Abstract
An electroplating fluid disturbance device is used in electroplating equipment. The electroplating fluid disturbance device includes two horizontal driving devices, two fan blade structures and two fan blade structure driving devices. Each horizontal driving device connects one fan blade structure, allowing each fan blade structure to move toward or away from two surfaces of a plated substrate. Each fan blade structure driving device connects one fan blade structure, allowing each fan blade structure to move back-and-forth in a specific direction perpendicular to a surface normal of the plated substrate and the height of electroplating equipment. An included angle between 10 degrees and 50 degrees is disposed between a direction along which the width of a left fan blade or a right fan blade of the fan blade structure is extended and a direction along which the width of a central fan blade of the fan blade structure is extended.
