The CEE 200X photoresist spinner 1 is a fully programmable, automatic dispense, photoresist spinner located in 1440C. This tool has multiple chucks for 4" and 6" wafers, as well as pieces up to 2". It has automatic photoresist dispensers, but can also accommodate manual dispensing.

Capabilities

Equipped Photoresists: SPR 220 (3.0), SPR 220 (7.0), SPR 955 (0.9) Note: When spinning SPR 220 (7.0) you will often get micro bubbles in the film. For a manual dispense you can reduce the number of bubbles by sonicating the syringe before hand. For more details please make a helpdesk ticket.

SU-8 must be processed in the ROBIN lab

PMMA and other e-beam resists should be processed in Photoresist Bench 31

LOR should be processed in the CEE 100CB photoresist spinner

For all other materials, please contact staff to request approval

Material restrictions

The CEE 200X photoresist spinner 1 is designated as a General class tool. Below is a list of approved materials for the tool. Approved means the material is allowed in the tool under normal circumstances. If a material is not listed, please create a helpdesk ticket or email info@lnf.umich.edu for any material requests or questions.

Approved materials

Supported processes

The CEE 200X has recipes in 1000 rpm increments from 1000 to 5000 rpm for each of the equipped photoresists as well as for manual dispensed photoresists. There are recipes for pieces larger than 15 mm, 100 mm wafers and 150 mm wafers. The primary difference between theses recipes is how much photoresist is dispensed.

Details for the available recipes can be found in the following tables. These include average thicknesses expected using the automatic dispense recipes as well as examples for bake times, exposure values, and develop times. These parameters may vary for individual processes.

Checkout procedure

1. Complete a Lithography training session. If you have already completed this for another tool, you do not need to complete it again.
2. Practice on the tool with your mentor.
3. Read through the User Manual above.
4. Accurately complete the checkout quiz. You may retake as necessary until all answers are correct.
5. Schedule a time for a checkout here.
6. Create a helpdesk ticket for final confirmation of your checkout appointment.
7. If this checkout is successful, the engineer will authorize you on the tool.

Maintenance

Photoresist levels are checked several times a week and replaced when low. The bowls and chucks are cleaned each week during lab clean.

User authorized maintenance

In the event of a power bump, users may run the startup/shutdown procedure.
