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.

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

The BCB Curing Oven. Located in the III-V Lab

BCB Curing Oven

Process information

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

BCB curing:

The AL/BL processes are (should be) identical except for a (2x) pump/purge cycle in the beginning of the BL processes.

General processes

There are a number of general processes named DxxxCyyy.PDF.

The Dxxx 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.
