The Thermo Fisher Scientific / Barnstead 3497 M 3 is an oven.[1]
What it is
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedA laboratory oven operates by circulating heated air within an enclosed chamber to achieve a uniform temperature throughout the workspace.
The system typically uses electric resistance heaters and a convection fan to distribute heat evenly.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThermal processes such as baking, drying, and curing are performed in a fab after photolithography and before subsequent deposition or etching steps.
The oven is used for hard-baking photoresist layers to stabilize them after development.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedApplications include curing of polymers, adhesives, and coatings in microelectronics assembly.
The oven can also be used for general laboratory drying and baking operations in cleanroom environments.
