What it is

The YES PB 12 2 P CP Polyimide is a thermal or diffusion bake oven.[2]

The PB 12 2 P CP Polyimide is a bake oven with a PLC touchscreen interface and capacity for up to fifty wafers per batch.[2]

How it works

The PB 12 2 P CP Polyimide supports operation from ambient to four hundred fifty degrees Celsius, and an optional high-temperature version extends to five hundred fifty degrees Celsius.[1]

The PB 12 2 P CP Polyimide uses LED temperature and set-point displays, ramp-up and ramp-down control, multiple temperature-dependent PID settings, over-temperature protection shut-off, and an alternate process vacuum valve with vacuum plumbing and a dual set-point vacuum gauge.[1][2]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

A thermal bake oven such as the PB 12 2 P CP Polyimide sits in the wafer-processing flow after coating or other wet-film steps and before later lithography or patterning operations that need a stabilized film condition.

Applications

The PB 12 2 P CP Polyimide is intended for polyimide processing.[1][2]

The PB 12 2 P CP Polyimide uses an air-cooled chamber with external forced convection, a 316L stainless-steel chamber, and preheated nitrogen for laminar purge.[1]
