SSE Spinner

The SSE spinner MAXIMUS: positioned in Cleanroom 13.

SSE Spinner, Maximus 804, SSE Sister Semiconductor Equipment is a resist spinning system at Danchip which can be used for spinning on 2", 4" and 6" substrates. The system is equipped with 2 different resists lines: AZ5214E and AZ4562 and 2 syringe lines, which can be used for spinning of e-beam resist.

KS Spinner

The KS spinner is placed in Cleanroom 3.

At Danchip we have RC8-THP system which is one of the SUSS MicroTech spinners.

The main purpose of this equipment is experimental spinning the different resist.The spinner has one resist line, AZ5214E, for automatic dispense. All other resist dispenses manually from syringe or disposable pipettes. All SU8 spinning are done on this machine.

The machine can be also used for spinning on the "difficult" surfaces like the substrates with holes, backside structures and unusual shapes.

Manual Spinner( Polymers)

The Manual Spinner(Polymers) is placed in fumehood in Cleanroom 3.

The Manual Spinner(Polymers), Opticoat SB20+, from SSE Sister Semiconductor Equipment, are dedicated for spinning of imprint polymers, e-beam resist in small batches, SU8 resist and other polymers with extra addictive like color, nano particles etc.

There are 2 hotplates with temperature range up to 250C, placed in the same fumehood, which can be used for baking before/after spinning.
