Abstract

A modular apparatus for thermally processing a microelectronic workpiece is provided. The modular apparatus comprises a mounting module having a rotatable carousel assembly configured to support at least one workpiece. A driver is coupled to the carousel assembly and rotates the carousel assembly, moving the workpiece between a loading station, a heating station and a cooling station. The thermal processing modular apparatus has a front docking unit for removeably connecting it to a load/unload module and a rear docking unit for removeably connecting it to a wet chemical processing tool, or another tool for otherwise processing a workpiece. A transport system (i.e., robot) services the modular tool units that can be automatically calibrated to work with individual processing components of the tool units.
