A novel low cost method was developed for the construction of a spin
coater and a dip coater device incorporating inexpensive mechanical
components and open-source software. Both devices are utilized for
depositing thin films, and can be built with interdisciplinary
knowledge of physics, mechanics, and electronics at the undergraduate level. The spin coater permits a wide speed range (from 500 to 10,000 rpm), and the velocity range of the dip coater stretches (from 0.6 cm/h to 30 cm/min). The operational parameters of these instruments compare favorably with commercial models.

Se ha desarrollado un nuevo método para la construcción de
dispositivos de spin coater y dip coater incorporando componentes
mecánicos económicos y con software de plataforma abierto. Ambos
dispositivos se utilizan para la deposición de películas delgadas, y
se pueden construir con el conocimiento interdisciplinario de la
física, la mecánica y la electrónica a nivel de pregrado. El spin
coater permite un amplio rango de velocidad (de 500 a 10.000 rpm) y el rango de velocidad del dip coater es (de 0.6 cm/h a 30 cm/min).
Estos parámetros operacionales se comparan favorablemente con los
modelos comerciales.
