PTL-SC-6S-LD Coating System has been designed to automate the entire process to avoid operator fatigue and errors associated with it. In the manual SILAR process, the operator has to perform hundreds of repetitive dipping into the solution and water. It is very difficult to control dip duration and number of dips in a manual process which can last hours. In the automated unit, the operator needs just to clamp the substrate into the holder and program the controller with required dip cycles and duration.

PTL-SC-6S-LD has a motorized substrate holder. The dipping speed, stirring speed, dip duration, retrieval speed, and dry duration can be set for each beaker. Six hot plates can be set at different temperatures independently up to 350°C from ambient.

In this technique, the thin film is deposited on a glass substrate following a chemical technique called successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). The technique involves multiple dipping of the substrate in a given solution and deionized water, the temperature of both can vary from case to case.

Operation Instructions
Application note	In order to get better film coating, the substrate shall be treated by plasma cleaner (Please click on the first picture below for more information) Use an ultrasonic processor to disperse nanopowder or homogenize solution to get better coating (Please click on the second picture below for more information) The compact dip coater can be put in an MTI glovebox to operate under a control atmosphere Click here to visit our Knowledge Center and learn about dip coating. Please put the coaster into a fume-hood as the pic below right,  if liquid release vapor
