What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wet processing systems carry out liquid chemical steps on substrates in a controlled chamber. Semi-automatic wet processing tools are commonly used for dispense, rinse, develop, clean, and dry sequences that rely on timed fluid delivery and substrate handling.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wet processing systems are used at steps in wafer and substrate fabrication where a liquid chemical operation is required between deposition, coating, exposure, etch, or inspection stages. Semi-automatic tools of this class are commonly placed in process modules for resist development, solvent cleaning, rinsing, and drying before the substrate moves to the next patterned or film-processing step.
