Compact yet packed with performance features, the SCS G3 Spin Coater series combines precision with control for highly effective coating applications development. Adding to its performance is a number of optional features.

Product Information

The SCS G3 Spin Coater series sets the standard in operating precision and programming flexibility. It is engineered to provide a high level of rotation accuracy and repeatability, along with precise acceleration and deceleration control. The result is a spin coating solution that combines options to meet specific lab requirements with a level of performance that delivers confidence with every coating application.

Available with three different bowl sizes, SCS G3 Spin Coaters feature compact housing for convenience when using in fume hoods. Programmable spin coaters have an optional integrated dispense arm, optional exhaust adapter, and are equipped to control solenoid operation of an optional dispensing unit. SCS Spin Coaters are ideal for applying photoresists, polyimides, metal-organics, dopants and silica films on planar substrates.

G3 Configurations

In addition to the base unit, SCS is pleased to offer configurations to meet manufacturing needs:

  • ETL and CE compliant
  • Glove box compatible

SCS offers several chucks for use in our SCS Spin Coaters. Our chucks are machined to close tolerances and provide an exceptionally flat, rigid surface for mounting substrates of different sizes, weights, and shapes. SCS can also provide custom chucks depending on your application.

Stainless steel and hard anodized aluminum accessory chucks are available for a variety of substrate types and dimensions. Be sure to specify the material of choice and chuck size when ordering.

Type CS: Flat Surface Cross and Scroll
Used to hold a thin, planar substrate such as silicon, glass or germanium on. Evenly distributes vacuum force on the substrate.

Type H: O-Ring Vacuum-Holding
Used to hold relative heavy substrates, such as glass, quartz, ceramic and metal. Includes O-ring vacuum seal.

Type L: O-Ring Vacuum-Holding
with Mechanical Locating Fingers Designed for heavy, large or asymmetrical substrates. Guide fingers assist in positioning and holding substrates. Includes an O-ring vacuum seal.

*Delrin® chucks are available per special order. Delrin is a registered trademark of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company.
