Method and apparatus for planarization of substrate coatings
A method of forming a coating, comprises applying a first coating to a substrate having a plurality of topographical features, planarizing a top surface of the first coating, and drying the first coating after planarizing the top surface. The first coating may be applied over the plurality of topographical features, and may be substantially liquid during application. The first coating may optionally be a conformal coating over topographical features of the substrate. The conformal coating may be dried prior to planarizing the top surface of the first coating. A solvent may be applied to the conformal coating, with the top surface of the conformal coating being substantially planar after application of the solvent. The first coating may have a planar surface prior to drying the first coating, and the first coating may be dried without substantial spin-drying by modifying an environment of the first coating.
