Spin Coaters — ø150mm

SPIN COATERS
Spin Coating

Spin coating involves accurately dispensing a liquid, typically photoresist, onto a substrate, typically a semiconductor wafer, then spinning to achieve a uniform, defect-free film.

Our original, now-famous spin coater design employs the use of extremely precise rotation control coupled with a closed, fully optimized process chamber, leaving absolutely nothing to chance.

EDC™ (Etch, Develop, Clean)
Etching, Developing, Cleaning

EDC™ systems dynamically dispense chemistry onto a substrate, then rinse and dry it, along with the plumbing and process chamber. This dry in, dry out philosophy yields very repeatable results.

Most process recipes now include forward/reverse rotation routines, which were initially developed to correct etch biasing on high aspect ratio features.

An agitation technique is now being used to enhance rinse uniformity and reduce chemical consumption. Static "puddle" processes can also be accomplished in this system.
