Abstract: An apparatus and method for simultaneously coating and measuring a part. The apparatus includes a part support, a sprayer and a part measurer positioned adjacent to the part support and a display device positioned adjacent to the part support. The sprayer applies a coating to a section of the part while the part measurer continuously measures a dimension of the section of the part being coated. In one embodiment, an initial amount of coating and a final amount of coating are applied to the section of the part based on the dimension measurements and desired dimension of the part. In another embodiment, the amount of coating applied to the part is based on the desired coating thickness. As a result, the apparatus and method of the present invention significantly reduces the margin of error related to the application of coatings to parts.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for simultaneously coating and measuring a part including a part support, a sprayer, a part measurer including a digital camera and a display device, all of which are positioned adjacent to the part support. The sprayer applies a coating to a section of the part while the part measurer continuously measures at least two dimensions of the section. The digital camera takes at least one picture of the entire section of the part while the part is being coated and enables a user to accurately determine the cross section of the part to the optimum finished part configuration and size and also detect defects, blemishes or coating irregularities formed on the section. The apparatus and method of the present invention significantly reduces the margin of error related to the application of coatings to parts, the number of defective parts and increases the overall efficiency.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for coating liquid films on to the surface of a wafer substrate by rotation the substrate at a speed sufficient to cause a liquid, through centrifugal effect, to flow outwardly toward the perimeter of the surface and form a substantially uniform thickness liquid coating thereon and starting at the central region of the wafer surface and moving radially outward therefrom, spraying a fine mist of the liquid to the surface of the wafer.

Abstract: A wetting-resistant nozzle for accurately and precisely dispensing small volumes of liquids. The nozzle comprises an internal flowpath, and an external surface that recedes from the discharge point at an angle greater than 90 degrees, and an exceptionally low surface energy for the external surface. The low surface energy material may exist as a coating on top of a shaped substrate. A flat land region may be included and may have sharp edges, one of which may define the boundary of the low surface energy region. Another embodiment includes the low surface energy material as a bulk material through which a hole is drilled. The internal flowpath inside the nozzle may be smoothly tapered. Liquid being dispensed tends not to advance past the edge of the low surface energy region, which may coincide with a geometrically sharp edge. Such nozzles provide improved dispensing of liquids that have both low surface tension and low viscosity, such as organic solvents.
