Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photolithography technology, and in particular to an adsorption plate for a spin coater and a spin coater. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of scientific research technology, micro-nano technology has been widely applied in physical sciences, electronics, medicine, and materials science. In the fabrication of micro-nano devices, the photoresist exposure machine is an indispensable key piece of equipment. Before exposure, coating the wafer with photoresist is a crucial preliminary step. However, for smaller wafers commonly used in laboratories, the sample adsorption trays of conventional spin coaters are prone to photoresist backflow onto the motor. Furthermore, existing adsorption trays struggle to achieve precise sample placement. If the sample is not placed in the exact center of the adsorption tray, the photoresist distribution on the entire sample surface will be uneven when the spin coater starts rotating at high speed. This leads to a decrease in the precision of the pattern after exposure, failing to meet the high-precision requirements of micro-nano device fabrication, thus affecting the performance and quality of the micro-nano devices. Even more seriously, samples not placed in the center are at risk of being flung off due to uneven force, which not only damages the sample but also interrupts the spin coater operation, reduces spin coat efficiency, and increases experimental costs.
