Surface Tension Gradient (Marangoni) Dryer – Supplied by Silicon Valley Sales
Silicon Valley Sales proudly supplies the Surface Tension Gradient Marangoni Dryer by JST, a powerful drying system that supports both IPA Vapor Drying and DI water Quick-Dump Rinsing (QDR) in a single chamber. Available as a standalone system or integrated into a JST Wet Bench, this Marangoni Dryer delivers exceptional drying performance with minimal IPA usage and emissions.
Surface Tension Gradient (Marangoni) Dryer Overview
By applying the Marangoni Dryer Principle, it ensures the lowest particle drying of hydrophobic or hydrophilic wafers without any moving parts, reducing the damage seen in spin rinse dry systems. Rinsing and drying in the same chamber optimizes cleanroom space and efficiency.
The system features top sprays, high flow laminar bottom fill, cascade overflow, and a quick-dump valve. Ambient IPA vapor is introduced with high-purity nitrogen, followed by programmable Ionized N2 and Heated N2 for a clean, low-particle finish.
Dry cycles typically range from 10–20 minutes, with 7–15 mL IPA used per cycle and <10 adders @ 0.16um particle performance.
Like all JST systems, the dryer includes 24/7 Technical Support and is engineered for easy maintenance.
