− | Spin coating is used to uniformly coat a flat substrate with a substance, generally oil. The substrate is placed on the spinner with a small drop of substance in the center, and then spun at high RPMs to coat. This is useful for bio team specifically, which spin coats ETFE with fluoropel to create a hydrophobic film used in electrowetting. | + | Spin coating is a technique used to uniformly coat a flat substrate with a small amount of fluid. The substrate is placed on the spinner with a small drop of fluid in the center, and then spun at high RPMs to evenly distribute a thin layer across the entire face. This technique is useful for the SSI bio team specifically, which spin coats ETFE with fluoropel to create a hydrophobic film used in electrowetting. This guide describes the standard operating procedure for the Durand spin coater we have access to. |
