HMDS Bake Plate
Amplifying Adhesion: HMDS Bake Our client faced persistent issues with photoresist delamination during the photolithography process. To address this, we implemented a solution involving Hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) priming using the Apogee® 200mm Bake Plate. This enhanced photoresist adhesion, improved yield, reduced defects, and lowered costs, ultimately streamlining project timelines. Additionally, a 75° contact angle was achieved […]
