What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Clean Track series of tools perform spin-coating of photoresist onto wafers as part of the lithography cycle.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer processing on a Clean Track system begins with automated loading and centering of a wafer on a spin chuck.

A precisely controlled volume of liquid photoresist is dispensed onto the wafer while it rotates, spreading the resist into a uniform film by centrifugal force.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Clean Track Mark 5 operates in the photolithography sequence immediately after wafer cleaning and dehydration bake and before exposure in a stepper or scanner.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

The Clean Track Mark 5 is used to coat semiconductor wafers with photoresist for pattern transfer in front-end-of-line and back-end-of-line layers.
