Conventional hotplates fight thermal lag and edge roll-off, and that uncertainty shows up on the line. We built a compact infrared dryer for IC processing to take that variability out of the equation.</p> <h2 id="infrared-heating-sub-millimeter-uniformity-and-repeatability">Infrared heating: sub-millimeter uniformity and repeatability</h2> <p>The unit leans on near-infrared (NIR) emitters tuned to the photoresist absorption, so the energy penetrates faster and keeps the thermal budget tight. You get sub-millimeter uniformity across the wafer, and the temperature holds within ±0.1°C during the bake. We do it with closed-loop pyrometry right at the wafer plane and a reflective cavity that keeps <a href="https://goldisgood.com">stray</a> heat from wandering. Run-to-run repeatability lands in single-digit millidegrees, so your critical bake profile stays <a href="https://o-yate.net">nailed</a> down.</p>
