A semiconductor processor for spray coating wafers or other semiconductor
articles. The processor has a compartment in which are mounted a wafer
transfer, coating station and thermal treatment station. The coating
station has a spray processing vessel in which a movable spray-head and
rotatable wafer holder. The spray station has coating viscosity control
features. An ultrasonic resonating spray-head is precisely supplied with
coating from a metering pump. The heat treatment station heat cures the
coating and then cools the wafer. The system allows coatings to be
applied in relatively uniform conformational layers upon irregular
surfaces.
