What it is

The Laurell WS-650-23 B is a spin coater for resist processing.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A spin coater spreads a liquid film on a flat substrate by rotating the substrate at high speed. The rotating motion drives fluid outward and leaves a thinner coating on the surface. A mask aligner is not part of this equipment class.

A resist-processing spin coater is used with liquid resists and similar coating materials before subsequent exposure or curing steps. The machine class is built around a rotating chuck or support that holds the substrate during coating.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The WS-650-23 B fits in front-end resist coating steps in a lithography flow. The WS-650-23 B is used before later pattern-definition steps that follow application of the resist film.

The WS-650-23 B is used after a substrate is prepared for coating and before downstream exposure, baking, or development steps. The WS-650-23 B supports resist film preparation on flat substrates used in microfabrication and related processes.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The WS-650-23 B is used for spin-coating photoresist and other liquid process films on flat substrates.

The WS-650-23 B is suitable for laboratory and production-style resist-processing workflows that require controlled thin-film coating on small wafers or similarly sized substrates.
