  • Method and apparatus for drying a substrate
    Publication number: 20040011387
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for drying a disk-shaped substrate. The substrate is typically a substrate used for the manufacture of magnetic disks, and has a centrally located opening. The substrate is lowered into a liquid bath by a first holder, which also becomes immersed in the bath. The first holder lifts the substrate until the substrate extends partially out of contact with the liquid. A second, dry holder grabs a dry portion of the substrate that extends out of the bath, and continues to lift the substrate out of contact with the liquid.
    Type: Application
