ABSTRACT:
Spin coating of resist on a semiconductor wafer is done in a controlled chamber, starting with introducing a resist solvent vapor into the chamber from a nozzle or an adjacent chamber, applying the resist by spraying a very thin layer of the resist material and then removing solvent from the chamber. The result is a saving in resist material and enhanced coating uniformity.
