TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of spin coater, and relates to a spin coating chamber atmosphere control structure based on gas assistance and variable angle rectifier plate, which is used for improving the airflow uniformity and solvent volatilization uniformity in the chamber during the spin coating process. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a common technology for preparing uniform thin films and functional coatings, the spin coating method is widely used in the preparation process of various micro-nano structures such as sensors, gratings and organic optoelectronic devices due to its simple process, fast film forming speed, controllability of film thickness and other advantages. In the spin coating process, the high-speed rotation of the substrate produces strong centrifugal driving, which causes significant shearing and radial flow of the solution on the substrate surface, accompanied by rapid solvent volatilization and solute diffusion migration, and finally forms a solidified thin film with the target thickness and structure. Although a large number of theoretical models and engineering practices have tried to control the rotation speed, solution viscosity, chamber pressure and temperature and other parameters to improve the film thickness uniformity, the flow field inside the spin coating chamber is still very complex in actual industrial and scientific research applications. Due to the uneven distribution of solvent vapor in the chamber, the obvious gas concentration gradient and the frequent local flow field disturbance, there are still problems such as uneven film thickness distribution, large difference in solvent volatilization rate, which seriously affect the film forming quality, interface flatness and process repeatability
[0003] The fundamental reasons for the above unevenness include the difference between the radial and axial flow velocity profiles in the chamber, the formation of local vortexes and the local enrichment of solvent vapor in the chamber. In the spin coating process, the main flow zone and the near-wall laminar flow formed under the action of centrifugal force are prone to sudden changes in velocity gradient, thereby inducing shear layer and vortex structure, which causes obvious differences in solvent volatilization rate in different regions. At the same time, the temperature gradient and surface tension gradient also induce the Marangoni effect, making the solute migration and evaporation mass transfer process more complex, leading to further deviation of the film thickness from the expected distribution. In the prior art, fixed rectifier plates, closed covers or whole temperature control chambers are usually used to improve the flow stability and temperature uniformity of the spin coating environment. However, the fixed structure is difficult to realize individualization and real-time control when facing different substrate sizes, rotation speeds, solution formulations or chamber atmosphere conditions, resulting in a limited flow field adjustment range. In addition, the existing chambers are in a natural volatilization environment, and the solvent vapor concentration in the chamber cannot be effectively controlled. When the external airflow or local solvent volatilization is too fast, it is easy to cause edge effects, stripes, spots and other defects.
[0004] Therefore, designing a spin coating chamber atmosphere control structure with gas assistance and a variable-angle rectifier has become a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the spin coating film formation industry. This requires not only that the chamber environment control structure can actively introduce or extract gas or solvent vapor to adjust the solvent concentration distribution within the chamber, thereby suppressing excessively rapid evaporation, but also that the structure can use the variable-angle rectifier to directionally correct and homogenize the flow field within the chamber, achieving precise control of radial and axial flow under different operating conditions. This significantly improves the uniformity of the flow field and evaporation during spin coating, reduces film thickness variations, and enhances product yield and process stability.
