BCB Curing Oven

The BCB Curing Oven. Positioned in room Cx1/ Photo: DTU Nanolab internal

The BCB Curing Oven is mainly used for curing of BCB (bisbenzocyclobutene, cyclotene®) and for alloying of some metals in a nitrogen atmosphere.

During processing the oven is rapidly heated by use of eight halogen lamps situated below the sample. The maximum allowed temperature is 450 oC.

The oven is purged with a nitrogen flow (high or low flow). Samples are processed at atmospheric pressure or at vacuum.


The user manual, user APV, technical information and contact information can be found in LabManager:

BCB Curing Oven

Process information

Here are some of the standard processes used in the BCB Curing Oven.

BCB curing

An example of a curing recipe (BCB250BL.PDF) for a long curing process at 250°C is shown below.

General processes

There are a number of general processes on the oven named DxxxCyyy.PDF.

The "Dxxx" in the recipe is the set temperature (in °C) and the "Cyyy" is the time (in minutes) at the set temperature.

The oven heats to the set temperature (xxx) in 5 mins and then stays at the temperature (xxx) for a time (yyy), after which it cools to room temperature as fast as possible.
