This bench is only for wafers with metal!

Here are the main rules for lift-off bench use:

• Place the wafers in a dedicated wafer holder.
• Put the holder in the acetone and start the ultrasound. The strip off time is depending of resist thickness.
• Rinse your wafers for 4-5 min. in running water after stripping.
