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

  1. Substrate Preparation:
    • Clean your substrates thoroughly using a UV Ozone Cleaner.
  2. Spin Coating Settings:
    • Input your desired spin coating settings on the Spin Coater.
  3. Substrate Placement:
    • Place your prepared substrate into the chuck of the Spin Coater.
  4. Solution Preparation:
    • Fill the pipette with the viscous solution you intend to coat the substrate with.
  5. Solution Dispensing:
    • Dispense the solution onto the substrate by releasing several droplets from the pipette.
  6. Solution Spreading:
    • Use the pipette to spread the solution evenly across the substrate surface.
  7. Spin Coating Process:
    • Close the Spin Coater lid securely.
    • Press the start button to initiate the spin cycle.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
