Minimum Requirements: GENERAL This specification is for operational specifications for a replacement spinner for use in the AFIT cleanroom, for application and development of photoresists during the photolithography process. The parts specified here are to build a replacement system which meets the following minimum requirements: 1) Installation considerations: a. Electrical: i. Must run on ~120 VAC, <10 Amps ii. Must meet UL standards (or equivalent). b. Vacuum: i. Vacuum for chuck will be provided (integrated vacuum system will not be acceptable due to size constraints). ii. Any vacuum monitoring for alarms or controls must be included in system (will not be provided) c. Both air and pure nitrogen will be provided (up to ~80 PSI, 2 SCFM is standard). d. Basin with chuck and controls must be relocatable to current fume hood: i. 12" by 12" current system (slightly larger may be acceptable, but should be approximately these dimensions ii. Depth below basin not to exceed ~8 inches due to existing piping iii. Current control box is ~12" wide, ~10" tall, ~12" deep. Controls should not exceed these dimensions (but variations may be considered depending on specifics). e. Interchangeable chuck is required (ranging from ~1mm square up to and including 4" diameter. f. Basin itself should accommodate up to 6" D wafer minimum 2) Performance: a. Vacuum engage/disengage (to load and unload samples), needs to be instantaneous (<0.5 sec for solenoid or control mechanism to engage). b. Start/stop of spinner must be instantaneous (<0.5 sec from start button to start of rotation, similar response time between stop button and start of deceleration). c. Start functionality is prohibited if good vacuum between sample and chuck isn't detected. d. Process aborts (i.e. deceleration begins immediately) if vacuum is lost e. Running Parameters: i. Spinner RPM should be easily adjustable between 200 to 6000 RPM (wider range is acceptable, but must be able to perform in this range). ii. Spinner ramp up / down times need to be adjustable 1K RPM/Sec to 40K RPM/Sec is ideal, near this range may be acceptable but will need be approved. iii. Run time increments with at least 1 sec resolution between settings (higher resolution is acceptable but not necessary) iv. Total run time should be adjustable between 1 - ~1000 second (upper end is negotiable, but should be near this value) v. When run timer completes, spinner should automatically start to decelerate and stop. The materials and component parts shall be of high commercial quality, with safety standards of CSA, UL, and/or CE. As for the environmental standards, it shall comply with RoHS and/or WEEE. Workmanship shall be consistent with best commercial practices. DESIGN APPROVAL Contractor shall supply electronic interconnection drawings/specification package for each component provided. TESTING REQUIREMENTS Manufacturer shall assure Quality Acceptance before delivery. The manufacturer shall provide and software required to operate system (i.e. LabView code, etc.). Supplier shall provide the necessary documentation for use of the product. SAFETY Safety systems shall be included to prevent damage to equipment and personnel. Safety system shall protect equipment in the event of power loss, and reversed battery connection. Warning labels on the equipment and documentation shall be included. DELIVERY Delivery anticipated no later than forty (40) weeks after receipt of contract. WARRANTY Free from defects in material and workmanship, under normal and proper use in accordance with our instructions in the maintenance manual, for the period of time of two years after receipt.
