SPIN COATER
Description
A spin coater deposits a thin (~1 mm) film of uniform thickness onto a flat substrate. The first steps of this operation are to place the substrate into the spin coater and to apply a small volume of coating material onto the center of the substrate. The spin coater then rotates the substrate at high speed, which results in the uniform spreading of the coating material on the substrate surface due to the centrifugal force. This operation is carried out under a fume hood because the coating material is usually volatile.
