  9. 4.1 Prebake and HMDS treatment Purpose of Pre-bake and HMDS treatment is to improve the resist adhesion on oxide wafer. HMDS is adhesion promoter especially designed for positive resist. HMDS (Hexamethyldisilane) can be applied on the wafers by 1. Vapor in a bucket 2. vapor in a vacuum box 3. Directly dispense on wafer 4. YES system --- in a hot vacuum system 5. Vapor in a hot plate (with exhaust) Too much HMDS will cause poor spin, vice versa will cause resist lifting
