Subject: RE: [mems-talk] Surface tension


I, too, have a surface-tension related question.  When a liquid is dispensed
from a nozzle to a substrate (for example, photoresist onto a wafer, or a
solvent onto a photoresist coated wafer that has been exposed through a
mask), what formula or other relation characterizes the maximum distance
(nozzle tip to substrate surface) at which a meniscus forms?  Does it make
any difference whether the upper or under side of the wafer is next to the
nozzle?  (Is gravity a factor?)

Thank you for any help.

Hi,

I am looking for references on surface tension (observations,
measurements, modeling, etc) on microwalls and/or microplates.

Thank you in advance for any help.
