What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

A bake plate is a heated substrate-processing station used in wafer fabrication and laboratory lithography flows. Bake plates are used to raise and hold substrate temperature in a controlled way for steps such as soft bake, post-apply bake, post-exposure bake, hard bake, and related thermal conditioning operations. Bake plates are commonly placed near coating and develop modules because they support resist processing between liquid application and later pattern-transfer steps.

How it works

The CEE 200 Bake Plate supports substrates up to 200 mm. The CEE 200 Bake Plate has a maximum temperature of 300 °C. The CEE 200 Bake Plate supports hard-contact baking, which holds a substrate with vacuum. The CEE 200 Bake Plate also supports proximity baking, which lifts a substrate 25 to 100 μm with nitrogen gas for slower temperature ramping of thick resists. The CEE 200 Bake Plate has an exhaust cover for fume removal. The CEE 200 Bake Plate uses smart pins for substrate temperature control.[5]

Where it fits in the process flow

The CEE 200 Bake Plate is part of a resist coating workstation that also includes spin coaters, an HMDS vapor primer, drainage sensors, automatic chemical supply for edge bead removal, backside rinse, and HMDS priming, plus a substrate cooling station.[5]

Applications

The CEE 200 Bake Plate is used for substrate baking within a lithography resists coating workstation. The CEE 200 Bake Plate supports bake methods suited to thick-resist processing because proximity mode allows slower temperature ramping.[5]
