Hi Sandhya: There are a few things you can take care off: 1: Check the optimum speed (try increasing or decreasing the speed) 2:Pour the resist very slowly and in a concentrated region in the center so that you avoid any bubbles. 3: Sometimes the resist bottle may have some bubbles trapped inside, make sure you get rid of them before you pour the resist on the substrate. Good luck! Madhu ------------------------------------------------------- Hai all, I am Sandhya,a research student In Boise State University. I have a question regarding photolithography, I am getting striations and small bubbles in the resist after spinning and i am using SPR 220.7 resist. Can someone please kindly say me what might be causing it and what should i do for eliminating them.
