Description
The Tousimis critical point dryer is a fully automatic system used to dry fragile MEMS/NEMS samples after a wet release process.
Capabilities
The Tousimis critical point dryer is a fully automatic system used to dry fragile MEMS/NEMS samples after a wet release process. By using LCO2 as the transitional fluid at the critical point, it eliminates stiction and surface tension problems. The tool is capable of processing samples from 6 inch wafers to small pieces in about an hour.
Each tool run has a consumable fee of $20 to recover the acid, solvent and LCO2 costs.
