The chemical treatment with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) before the spin coating can be used to promote the adhesion for photoresist. Vapor priming with HMDS leaves a mono-layer of TMS (trimethylsilyl) on the Si or SiO<sub>2</sub> surface. The process dehydrates the substrate surface, and lowers the surface tension.
The chemical treatment with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) before the spin coating can be used to promote the adhesion for photoresist. Vapor priming with HMDS leaves a mono-layer of TMS (trimethylsilyl) on the Si or SiO<sub>2</sub> surface. The process dehydrates the substrate surface, and lowers the surface energy to promote better wetting.


The molecular formula for hexamethyldisilazane, or bis(trimethylsilyl)amine, is C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>19</sub>NSi<sub>2</sub>.
