iSPRAY Series: 3D Microstructures

For substrates with a highly structured wafer topography, deep MEMS structures or a non-planar surface texture, the iSPRAY-300 by SAWATEC ensures that the coating is as homogeneous as possible. It is a high-precision spray coater for manual spray coating or spray development processes and it is used specifically in laboratories, R & D and small-scale production in MEMS fabrication.

iSPRAY-300

Uniform coating of 3D microstructures

In conjunction with low-viscosity photoresists (e.g. Shipley 1813, AZ 4999, AZ 9260, TI Spray etc.) that are particularly suited for spray coating, the process-optimised spray nozzle generates extremely fine droplets. Spray coating takes place by means of a loop-shaped spray pattern in a closed process chamber, thus ensuring uniform coating across the entire substrate surface and a high level of repeatability. The spray nozzle spacing, which can be adjusted as a function of the process, improves the distribution of the spray coating for specific topographies and increases coating versatility. Both round and square substrates, up to 8 wafers at a time, can be coated.

The iSPRAY-300 spray coater is designed for wafers with a maximum diameter of 300 mm or for 12 × 12 inch substrates. The high-precision instruments are available as mobile cabinet.

SMD series: Highly Efficient

The development of the exposed photoresist is one of the most critical process steps, therefore special care needs to be given to the selection of the development process and its parameters (developer mixing ratio, development time, etc.). Each substrate is individually developed respectively etched in the spray development and the exposed areas are continuously sprayed with fresh developing or etching agent to prevent that the developer getting saturated.

The SAWATEC developers can be used for puddle or spray development, in which the optimum process being chosen based on application-technicaland economic criteria. The advantage of the spray development compared to the puddle development is that very small fine structures can be released. The benefit of the puddle method is that significantly less developer solution is needed and better results are achieved when the substrate has deeper structures.

SM-200/HP-200 duo

Perfect couple for coating and baking

The SAWATEC combined system SM-200/HP-200 duo connects a Spin Module with a hotplate in one compact cabinet.

The Spin Modules SM-200 are the optimal choice for semi-automatic coating of thin layers. The Round-Closed Chamber Technology (RCCT) system effectively reduces air turbulence over the rotating substrate and improves coating uniformity by saturating the atmosphere with solvents faster in the closed chamber. This results in slower drying of the photoresist and a more homogeneous coating process with remarkable savings in consumed media.

The Hotplate HP-200 was developed for precise soft bake and hard bake processes in lithography, in MEMS and similar applications. The temperature range is designed for up to 250 °C by default. The set temperature and the temperature profile have narrow margins, meaning that a high coating quality can be achieved. The HP series is convincing due to its high level of uniformity and the high-precision process repeatability.

Spin chucks

OPTIMUM SELECTION FOR PERFECT COATING RESULTS

The spin chuck range by SAWATEC offers an optimum selection for all substrate sizes and materials to switch seamlessly from one spin chuck size and design to the next. To ensure that the reverse side of the substrate does not become contaminated, it is crucial to select the optimum spin chuck size and specific chuck design.

Replacing the spin chucks is very easy and does not require any tools. Depending on the application, one-piece or two-piece, vacuum or mechanical spin chucks with optical centring aid are used.

TWO-PIECE SPIN CHUCK
SAWATEC developed an innovative two-piece spin chuck which offers great benefits. The new design reduces effectively costs for the capability of handling multiple substrate dimensions. The chuck holder made in Aluminium can be combined with a wide range of different plastic spin chucks. Less space is required to store a full set of different chuck sizes which is essential for work conditions where the space to operate is very limited (especially in Gloveboxes and other Cabinet applications).

 

Spin chuck set

Based on commonly used spin chuck sizes SAWATEC created a Spin Chuck Set, which contains different spin chuck sizes starting from specimen 8“, 1“, 2“, 4“, and 6“ vacuum chucks.

The chuck holder is an integrated part of the Spin Module SM-150. The Spin Chuck Set is designed for our Spin Module SM-150 but can principally also be used for larger instruments.

  • Universal Spin Chuck Set that fits interchangeable chuck sizes
  • Reduced cost for the capability of handling multiple substrate dimensions
  • Faster switching between substrates of different sizes
  • No tools required for installation
  • Compatible with all SAWATEC Spin Modules

The set includes different spin chuck sizes starting from specimen 8“, 1“, 2“, 4“, and 6“ vacuum chucks.

Bowl Protection Insert

The SAWATEC Spin Modules are the optimal choice for manual or semi-automatic coating of thin layers. The cleanliness of the process chamber is very important to achieve good coating results. It is therefore advisable to clean the spin coater immediately after each use (cleaning instructions in accordance with the operating instructions). There are some places, which are often too little considered or need a little more cleaning effort (e. g., suction and media discharge in the process bowl, chuck receptacle, lid).

In order to keep the cleaning effort for the process chamber to a minimum, SAWATEC has developed a good value bowl protection insert. This bowl protection insert is easy to remove and dispose of once the process has been completed.

Advantages

  • Cost-effective and process-optimised solution
  • Perfect shape accurate fit in the process bowl
  • Significantly less contamination of the process chamber
  • Considerably shorter cleaning time
  • Simple replacement of the used bowl protection insert (disposable item)

Precision Dosing Pumps

The dosing pumps by SAWATEC feature a wide range of media viscosities, coupled with a high-precision delivery volume.

The application of hard-wearing, inert materials results in an excellent chemical compatibility with the most diverse fluids. Due to the compact, space-saving design, easy flushing and cleaning, long lifetime and low-cost maintenance, the pumps are not only used in our own instruments and systems, but also preferentially by a variety of OEM customers.

The different dosing pumps can be used for a wide range of applications and are ideally suited for use in the semiconductor industry, in the field of MEMS, in medical technology, in the chemical/pharmaceutical industry, in bottling plants and in analytical and laboratory apparatus.

Diaphragm dosing pumps SP-177

The diaphragm dosing pumps SP-177, SPV-15 and SP-50, as well as the diaphragm supply pump FP-20 are perfectly suited for applications with highly fluid and viscous media and are also approved for explosion-proof processes.

Precision pumps GSP-98-ML

The precision pumps GSP-98-ML and GSP-98 are ideal for applications requiring high-precision dosing amounts. Due to their innovative design with integrated valve control, these pumps do not require any additional external valves. The medium is not stressed because it does not control the pump. Therefore, no gas bubbles form.

 

GSP-98-ML

  • Dosing amount: 0,01 … 2 ml (± 0.004 ml)
  • Viscosity: 10 … 500 cps
  • Medium pressure created by the pump: < 0.2 bar (depending on tube length and viscosity)
  • Maximum flow of the medium: 2 ml/sec (depending on tube length and viscosity)
  • Stepper motor torque: 0.6 Nm
  • Pump controller: Compressed air: 4 bar (+ 0.5 bar)

PUMP CONTROLLER GSP II

  • Features: Dosing, flushing, cleaning
  • 10 freely definable dosing and cleaning programmes
  • User interface via membrane keys with two-line display
  • Process parameters: Dosing, reverse, offset and suck back time
  • Controller controls the stepper motor and the magnetic valve
  • Sensor checks the initial position of the needle valve
  • Equipped with RS232 and digital I/O interface
  • Easy system integration
