870 S Dual Stack Spin Rinse

Wet Processing / CleanSemitool 870 family
Research Quality: 40% complete

The Semitool 870 S is a Dual Stack Spin Rinse Dryer (SRD). The Semitool 870 S uses a dual-stack design. The Semitool 870 S operates on 1 Phase, 3 Wire, 220 Vac, 50/60 Hz.[1][2]

What it is

The Semitool 870 S is a dual-stack spin rinse dryer (SRD). The 870 S operates on single-phase power with three wires at 220 VAC and supports 50/60 Hz frequencies.[1][2]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A spin rinse dryer holds wafers in a rotating chuck or cassette carrier within a sealed process chamber. The tool spins the wafers at controlled speeds while dispensing rinse water to remove chemical residues from prior wet processes. After rinsing, the rotation continues to fling off bulk water, and a heated stream of nitrogen or isopropyl alcohol vapor aids final drying. The dual-stack configuration places two such processing stations one above the other, allowing parallel or sequential operation to increase throughput within the same footprint.
