Instantly Switch Wafer Sizes with a SITEK Rotor Insert Adapter

Run Multiple Wafer Sizes in One SRD Daniel Mullany shows how SITEK Rotor Inserts let you adapt 8โ€ Spin Rinse Dryers to run smaller wafers or custom substratesโ€”ideal for growing fabs and small foundries.

Daniel Mullany demonstrates how SITEK Rotor Inserts make it easy to run multiple wafer sizes in a single Spin Rinse Dryer. Whether you’re operating a small foundry or transitioning to larger wafers, this quick-change solution saves time, money, and hassle.

SITEK Rotor Inserts are custom-designed adapters that fit inside your existing SRD rotor, reducing the inner diameter to accommodate smaller wafer sizes or specialty substrates. They enable seamless conversion between wafer sizesโ€”such as 200mm to 150mmโ€”in seconds, without the need for retooling.

Key Benefits

  • Custom Rotor Inserts for Any Substrate
    SITEK can design inserts to fit any shape or sizeโ€”wafers, masks, coupons, or proprietary substrates.
  • Instant Size Conversion
    Change wafer sizes in secondsโ€”no tools or downtime required.
  • Perfect for Small Foundries
    Quickly adapt your toolset to match short-run production or mixed substrate workflows.
  • Essential for Upgraded Fabs
    If your fab has transitioned to 8″ wafers, SITEK Rotor Inserts let you continue running smaller wafers in your 8″/200mm SRDsโ€”no new equipment needed.
  • Preserves SRD Performance
    Inserts maintain proper spin balance and airflow, with no negative impact on drying or rinse cycles.
  • Lightweight & Easy to Use
    Designed for tool-free operation and safe handling by any operator.

A Flexible Future for Your Fab

Rotor Inserts allow you to keep using your existing Spin Rinse Dryer investmentโ€”even as your substrate sizes change. SITEK supports all standard sizes (3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, 8″, 12″) and offers custom engineering for non-standard formats.
