Abstract
A plating apparatus includes a vessel and a rack operable to be positioned inside the vessel. The rack includes a number of mandrels including a number of substrate mounting surfaces. The number of mandrels is non-revolving with respect to the rack. The rack further includes a number of gears coupled with the number of mandrels. A partition separates the number of gears from the number of mandrels. A diffuser is positioned below the rack. The diffuser is operable to produce a substantially uniform laminar flow of a fluid from a bottom to a top of the vessel. Thus, the laminar flow may reduce dead zones in the bath and remove defect-causing particles and gases away from the substrate.
