  • SELECTIVE HYDROPHOBIC LAYER REMOVAL USING UV IRRADIATION WITH NON-ALIGNED MASK
    Publication number: 20240429324
    Abstract: A sensing device is formed on a first side of a wafer device, forming a cavity between sensing device and the wafer device. An opening of the cavity faces away from the sensing device, positioned on a second side of the wafer device (positioned opposite to the first side). A hydrophobic layer is formed on the second side of the wafer device, on the cavity, on an interior and on an exterior of the sensing device. A mask is formed on the hydrophobic layer on the second side. The mask is perforated that maintains at least a portion of the hydrophobic layer covering the second side of the wafer device exposed. Light is applied to the second side of the wafer device that removes the at least the portion of the hydrophobic layer covering the second side of the wafer device that is exposed. The mask is removed.

  • Method for coating a substrate with a lacquer and device for planarising a lacquer layer
    Patent number: 11247229
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for coating a substrate with a lacquer. First, the lacquer is uniformly applied to the substrate. Then, the solvent proportion of the lacquer applied to the substrate is reduced, and the coated substrate is exposed to a solvent atmosphere. In some embodiments, the lacquer is heated. The invention also relates to a device for planarising a lacquer layer.

  • Method for coating a substrate and coating device
    Patent number: 10688524
    Abstract: A method for coating a substrate with a lacquer includes spraying lacquer onto the substrate and subsequently spraying the applied lacquer with solvent. In some embodiments, before the solvent is sprayed the lacquer is heated. Also disclosed is a corresponding coating device for lacquering substrates.
