Gamma Series

A technical drawing of a Delta Gradient Drying System.

The NexChem Systems Delta Series IPA Vapor Marangoni Gradient Dryer is a high-performance wafer drying solution engineered for defect-free, watermark-free drying following wet chemical processing. Utilizing a controlled IPA vapor Marangoni effect, the Delta Dryer delivers consistent surface tension gradients that drive uniform liquid removal without mechanical stress or particle generation. Designed for seamless integration with NexChem wet benches or as a standalone module, the Delta Series supports high-purity processes, repeatable results, and scalable automation for advanced manufacturing environments.

The Delta Series utilizes a precisely controlled IPA vapor zone introduced at the wafer-liquid interface during withdrawal from the final rinse. As IPA concentration increases at the meniscus, surface tension is locally reduced, creating a surface tension gradient that uniformly pulls DI water downward and away from the wafer surface.

Ensures a perfectly dry, spot-free surface every time by removing liquid at the meniscus.

Eliminate Watermarks

Prevents streaks by maintaining a uniform surface tension gradient during the entire withdrawal process.

No Streaking

Reduces particle redistribution and contamination for high-purity processing.

Ultra-low Particle Risk

Avoids centrifugal stress and vibration common in spin drying, protecting delicate features.

Stress-Free Drying

Protects fragile and high-aspect-ratio structures that can be damaged by mechanical drying.
