Theoretical studies of the spin coating process for the deposition of polymer-based Maxwellian liquids

This paper deals with the study of spin coating processes for the deposition of polysiloxane-based thin films. Specific developments are proposed in order to adapt the hydrodynamic laws theory to the spin coating of Maxwellian liquids. Theoretical and experimental results are compared, evidencing a good fit and enabling to define the Maxwellian law for the studied polysiloxane polymer. Finally, the theoretical developments are successfully extended to the BCB 4026 and SU-8 3050 photosensitive resins.
