Features Of 63N30 Semiconductor Surfactant

  1. Ultra-low ionic residue for high-purity semiconductor wafer cleaning and rinsing processes.

  2. Non-silicon, non-halogenated molecular structure to prevent device contamination and metal ion leaching.

  3. Excellent wetting and surface tension reduction (<18 mN/m at 0.1 wt% in DI water, 25°C) on hydrophobic SiO₂ and SiN surfaces.

  4. Thermally stable up to 120°C, enabling compatibility with hot rinse and spin-dry steps.

  5. Rapid, residue-free volatilization under vacuum or low-humidity N₂ purge conditions.

Typical Applications Of 63N30 Semiconductor Surfactant

  1. Post-etch residue removal for advanced logic and memory (DRAM, NAND) fabrication.

  2. Photoresist stripping aid in aqueous-based chemistries for sub-7 nm node patterning.

  3. Wafer-level packaging (WLP) cleaning prior to underfill or die-attach processes.

  4. Surface conditioning of MEMS and RF filter substrates to eliminate static charge and particle adhesion.

  5. Final rinse additive for immersion lithography tools to suppress watermark formation.

63N30 Semiconductor Surfactant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for 63N30?

A: The CAS number for 63N30 Semiconductor Surfactant is 2279475-88-2.


Q2: What is the recommended dosage range in process baths?

A: Typical use concentration is 0.02–0.15 wt% in aqueous or aqueous-organic formulations; optimal dosage is validated per tool, bath chemistry, and defect sensitivity requirements.


Q3: How does 63N30 compare to conventional alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) or linear alcohol ethoxylates (LAEs)?

A: Unlike APEOs or LAEs, 63N30 contains no aromatic rings or biodegradation-prone ether linkages; it delivers superior thermal/oxidative stability, lower extractables, and zero endocrine-disruption risk—meeting stringent fab environmental health & safety (EHS) policies.


Q4: Is 63N30 certified for use in ISO Class 1 cleanrooms and qualified per SEMI C1/C32 standards?

A: Yes—63N30 is manufactured in an ISO 14644-1 Class 3 facility and fully qualified to SEMI C1 (particle count), C32 (metal impurities), and C103 (organic extractables) specifications.


Q5: Has migration or leaching into silicon substrates been observed during high-temperature processing?

A: No migration or carbon residue has been detected via TOF-SIMS and XPS analysis after annealing up to 400°C in N₂ ambient; molecular design ensures complete desorption below 150°C.
