Features Of 100N15 Semiconductor Surfactant

  1. Ultra-low ionic residue for minimal metallic contamination in critical semiconductor cleaning processes.

  2. Exceptional wetting and surface tension reduction (<28 mN/m at 0.1 wt% in DI water, 25°C).

  3. Thermally stable up to 180°C, supporting high-temperature rinse and drying steps.

  4. Non-foaming formulation optimized for immersion, spray, and megasonic cleaning equipment.

  5. Halogen-free and ROHS-compliant, meeting stringent environmental and process safety requirements.

Typical Applications Of 100N15 Semiconductor Surfactant

  1. Pre-deposition wafer cleaning prior to epitaxial growth or thin-film deposition.

  2. Post-CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) residue removal for copper and low-k dielectrics.

  3. Photoresist stripping aid in aqueous-based strippers for advanced node lithography.

  4. Particle removal during front-end-of-line (FEOL) wet bench processing.

  5. Surface conditioning of MEMS and advanced packaging substrates prior to bonding.

100N15 Semiconductor Surfactant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for 100N15 Semiconductor Surfactant?

A: The CAS number is 2272371-89-4. This identifier applies to the proprietary multi-component blend as supplied; individual constituents are protected under formulation confidentiality.


Q2: What is the recommended usage concentration range in wafer cleaning baths?

A: Typical working concentration is 0.05–0.3 wt% in deionized water. Optimal dosage depends on contaminant load and equipment configuration—validation via SPM/SC1 residual testing is advised.


Q3: How does 100N15 compare to traditional alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) in semiconductor applications?

A: Unlike APEOs, 100N15 contains no alkylphenol moieties, eliminating endocrine-disrupting metabolites and ensuring full compliance with SEMI S2/S8 and global EHS standards. It also delivers superior rinsability and lower TOC contribution.


Q4: Is 100N15 subject to extractable/leachable concerns in contact with fluoropolymer (e.g., PFA, FEP) piping?

A: No significant leachables have been detected per USP <87> and <88> testing protocols. 100N15 shows negligible interaction with high-purity fluoropolymers under standard operating conditions (≤60°C, continuous flow).
