BCB Curing Oven

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

During processing the furnace is rapidly heated by use of eight halogen lamps situated below the sample. The furnace is purged with a high or a low nitrogen flow. Samples are processed at atmospheric pressure or at vacuum.
