G3 Spin Coater
- Category: Spin Coaters
- Manufacturer: SCS
Compact yet packed with performance features, the SCS G3 Spin Coater series combines precision with control for highly effective coating applications development. Adding to its performance is a number of optional features.
About the G3 Spin Coater
The SCS G3 Spin Coater series sets the standard in operating precision and programming flexibility. It is engineered to provide a high level of rotation accuracy and repeatability, along with precise acceleration and deceleration control. The result is a spin coating solution that combines options to meet specific lab requirements with a level of performance that delivers confidence with every coating application.
Available with three different bowl sizes, SCS G3 Spin Coaters feature compact housing for convenience when using in fume hoods. Programmable spin coaters have an optional integrated dispense arm, optional exhaust adapter, and are equipped to control solenoid operation of an optional dispensing unit. SCS Spin Coaters are ideal for applying photoresists, polyimides, metal-organics, dopants and silica films on planar substrates.

SCS MULTI-DISPENSE
An SCS G3 Spin Coater coupled with the SCS Multi-Dispense, enables research and development laboratories to easily and efficiently develop and refine coating applications for a variety of uses. The SCS Multi-Dispense enables users to dispense liquid materials to an SCS spin coater from up to four different dispense modules (three with the use of N2). Materials can include coatings, solvents and cleaning solutions in addition to N2 for blow-off or drying. The Multi-Dispense eliminates the need for time-consuming cleaning and change-over, while providing the accurate and controlled coatings you have come to expect from SCS.
VACUUM CHUCKS
Stainless steel and hard anodized aluminum accessory chucks are available for a variety of substrate types and dimensions. Chuck components are machined to close tolerances for flatness and rigidity and feature a cross pattern to distribute the vacuum across mounting surfaces. A chuck’s active surface must be entirely encompassed by the substrate. Fragile substrates should be supported across the entire surface.
