ABSTRACT:
A number of air actuated valves are added to a conventional apparatus for treating semiconductor wafers with HMDS, hexamethyl-disilazane, vapor to improve the adhesion between the wafers and resist layers. These valves allow for automatic purging of the HMDS vapor from the pipes in the apparatus by dry nitrogen thereby preventing HMDS vapor condensation in the pipes which leads to contamination of the HMDS supply. The valve system prevents any backstreaming of nitrogen gas into the HMDS supply tank.
