Equipment evidence

This Texas A&M AggieFab equipment page identifies a Cee® Automatic Developer used for post-exposure photoresist processing within the facility. The system is integrated into lithography workflows, where exposed photoresist is developed using controlled chemical processing to define patterned features. The page ties the developer directly to standard cleanroom operations, supporting consistent and repeatable development steps following coating and exposure. This makes it a strong facility-level reference showing use of Cee® equipment beyond coating, extending into automated development processes within academic nanofabrication environments.

AggieFab (Texas A&M University). 2025. Cee® Apogee® Lithography Workflow – AggieFab Nanofabrication Facility

Equipment evidence

The AggieFab nanofabrication facility incorporates a full Cee® lithography workflow, integrating spin coating, thermal processing, and development within a shared cleanroom environment. Spin coating systems are used to apply SU-8 for structural layers, AZ-series photoresists such as AZ3310 and S18xx for photolithographic patterning, polyimide for insulating films, and PMMA for electron-beam lithography processes. Following coating, substrates are transferred to Cee® bake plates for controlled soft bake and post-exposure bake steps, and then processed through Cee® developer systems to define patterned features. This sequence enables consistent film formation and reliable pattern transfer across a range of materials and applications. The use of an integrated coating, bake, and develop toolset supports repeatable processing in a multi-user environment, where maintaining consistency across different materials and workflows is essential.
