 The SPIN-coating technique

Spin-coating may be a suitable technique for the fabrication of planar waveguides by sol-gel route. Spin Coating Process can be divided down into 4 key stages [reference: Dunbar P. Birnie, University of Arizona]:

fluid dispense
deposition
spin-up
spin-up
stable fluid outflow
spin-off
evaporation dominated drying
Evaporation
