Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for processing a workpiece in a micro-environment includes a workpiece housing connected to a motor for rotation. The workpiece housing forms a substantially closed processing chamber where processing fluids are distributed across at least one face of the workpiece by centrifugal force generated during rotation of the housing. The housing may also be detached from the motor and moved to another location. The housing consequently serves as a processing chamber, as well as a storage or transport chamber.
