A sacrificial layer strategy for photolithography on highly hydrophobic surface and its application for electrowetting devices

A Cee® 200 Spin Coater was used to coat CYTOP and photoresist in a sacrificial-layer process for electrowetting displays. The work addresses resist coverage and adhesion on highly hydrophobic surfaces.

How Cee® equipment is used

The methods explicitly identify a Brewer Science Cee® 200 for CYTOP and photoresist coating. The demonstrated display used ITO-coated glass substrates and patterned SU-8 grids. A deposited sacrificial layer between the fluoropolymer and resist enabled lithographic patterning while preserving the exposed surface's hydrophobicity. The work includes Nanjing Jingaowei Optoelectronic Technology alongside university researchers. No experimental wafer diameter is specified.
