Dip Coating<\/a><\/strong> is the precision controlled immersion and withdrawal of a substrate into a reservoir of liquid for the purpose of depositing a thin-film. A device known as a Dip Coater is used in order to employ this technique. At its\u2019 core, this device consist of a computer controlled linear stage in which allows setting the upper and lower substrate resting positions, immersion\/withdrawal speed, submersion period.

For certain applications Dip Coating has distinct advantages over Spin Coating. Through Dip Coating, thin-films can be deposited on a wider range of material types, sizes, and shapes, including non-flat surfaces, as well as surfaces on all sides of the substrate simultaneously. Dip-coating techniques can also be easily scaled to handle larger and less conventional surfaces.<\/p>\n

08\/2024<\/strong> — Giving that a Dip Coater is just a vertically mounted linear stage with a sample holder, we have been actively working to develop our own model over the years. However, the challenge has always been finding a precision linear stage that works with our controller, and doesn’t cost thousand of dollars. Several more prototypes later, and lots of design changes, we now are one step closer to a production model, the DCK-300<\/strong>. The DCK-300<\/strong> is largely based on components from our SCK-300 Spin Coater kits and of-the-shelf linear stage.\u00a0 Stay tuned for further updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
