How to Spin Coat to the Very Edge of a Substrate When Using Viscous Solutions
Instructions for Static Dispense Spin Coating Using 45 Degree Angle
- Substrate Preparation:
- Clean your substrates thoroughly using a UV Ozone Cleaner.
- Spin Coating Settings:
- Input your desired spin coating settings on the Spin Coater.
- Substrate Placement:
- Place your prepared substrate into the chuck of the Spin Coater.
- Solution Preparation:
- Fill the pipette with the viscous solution you intend to coat the substrate with.
- Solution Dispensing:
- Dispense the solution onto the substrate by releasing several droplets from the pipette.
- Solution Spreading:
- Use the pipette to spread the solution evenly across the substrate surface.
- Spin Coating Process:
- Close the Spin Coater lid securely.
- Press the start button to initiate the spin cycle.
- Wait for Cycle Completion:
- Allow the Spin Coater to complete its cycle.
- Only open the Spin Coater lid and remove your coated substrate after the cycle has finished.
- Repeat if Necessary:
- If you have additional substrates, repeat the process from Step 3 onward for each one.

Spin coating is a common technique for applying thin films to substrates. When a solution of a material and a solvent is spun at high speeds, the centripetal force and the surface tension of the liquid together create an even covering.
