The Laurell Spinner Laurell spinner is located in the ROBIN lab. A great variety of materials, that are not allowed to be spun in the clean room, can be spun here. This new tool replaces the old Solitec spinner and it is, as always, associated with the Solvent 94 bench. In order to reserve this tool users must reserve Solvent 94 bench. The main uses of this spinner are for soft lithography, polyimide processing and surface protection for dicing. There are just a few photoresist available for this tool, but users can bring private photoresist, or other spinnable materials provided they are approved.

Announcements

  • Aluminum foil on the lid helps with the cleaning. If users do not want to use it is fine, as long as the tool is throoughly claned after use
  • When spinning a thin phtoresist we recommend to remove the aluminum foil or puddles formed during spinning will empty when opening the lid and ruin the sample
  • Users spinning Polyimide must be extra careful and make sure spinner is clean after use. Polyimide dries up and forms flakes that will deposit ruin the freshly spun film.

Capabilities

  • Can spin 100 mm, 150 mm, glass slides and pieces
  • wafer aligner tool
