Abstract

A rotating plating fixture changes an orientation of the substrate throughout a plating cycle. The plating fixture changes the orientation by precisely controlling a rotation speed and position of the substrate. A stepper motor changes the orientation in response to control signals from a controller. The plating fixture includes a stepper motor fixed to a hanger, a shaft coupled to the stepper motor, a pinion gear coupled to the shaft such that rotation of the shaft by the stepper motor causes rotation of the pinion gear, and a bevel gear meshing with the pinion gear.
