What it is

The Semitool Equinox is a semiconductor wafer electroplating system. The Semitool Equinox is a single-head manual plater. The Semitool Equinox has one 100mm process head and one 100mm SRD. The Semitool Equinox uses a simple manual load system. The Semitool Equinox has two chambers.[1][2]

How it works

The Semitool Equinox uses electroplating cup reactors for uniform films. The Semitool Equinox is configured with a titanium anode. The Semitool Equinox includes one SRD alongside its process head.[1][2]

Applications

The Semitool Equinox appears to have residual gold plating solution in the lines.[1][2]
