JST is proud to introduce the (3-Axis) Compact Automated Wet Bench, a compact 3-Axis automated wet bench. Designed as a low cost automated platform, requiring only the same or smaller footprint as the existing manual wet bench it is designed to replace. It’s an ideal way of bringing automation into current manual production cleanrooms with space limitations.
The compact size of this platform works well for customers who need accurate repeatable processing results when using the smaller sized GaAs, InP, and other compound semiconductor substrates. The (3-Axis) Compact automated wet bench safely supports the combination of processing Acids, Bases, and Solvents in the same wet bench. As with all JST wet benches, they are designed for ease of maintenance activities and comes with our standard 24/7 Technical Support.
