The lithosolv wet bench is used for handling solvents or other volatile organics such as photoresist. Processes performed here include mask and substrate cleaning and pouring resist into smaller containers for manual dispensing. Acids and bases (namely, developers) must never be handled here. Liquid waste is collected locally. A solid hazardous waste under the benchtop is used to collect cleanroom wipes, vinyl gloves, swabs, and other solid materials which may be contaminated with solvents and photoresist.

- Shadowing: Contact a qualified user of the tool to arrange to ‘shadow’. It would be best to find someone who has used the system often. If you don’t know of anyone, you may check reservations or history to find a qualified user. You may also contact the . We recommend that you be with the lab member for the full time while operating the tool and ask lots of questions during the shadowing. You may have to shadow a qualified user more than one time to be comfortable with the tool.
