DF-107 Semiconductor Surfactant

DF-107 Semiconductor Surfactant is a high-purity, low-foaming fluorosurfactant from Dow’s DF Series, engineered for uniform wetting and defect-free coating in semiconductor photolithography and cleaning processes. It enhances rinse efficiency, reduces microdroplet residue, and ensures compatibility with advanced photoresists and aqueous chemistries.

Features Of DF-107 Semiconductor Surfactant

  1. Ultra-low residue formulation designed for high-purity semiconductor wafer cleaning processes.

  2. Non-ionic, fluorosurfactant-based chemistry with exceptional surface tension reduction below 22 mN/m in aqueous dilutions.

  3. Zero halogen and sulfur-free composition compliant with SEMI S2 and JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.

  4. Thermally stable up to 180 °C, enabling compatibility with post-etch and pre-deposition rinse steps.

  5. Rapid, uniform wetting of hydrophobic silicon nitride and low-k dielectric surfaces without foaming.

Typical Applications Of DF-107 Semiconductor Surfactant

  1. Final rinse additive in single-wafer spin-rinse dry (SRD) tools for advanced logic and memory fabs.

  2. Wetting enhancer in photoresist stripping solutions for sub-7 nm node patterning.

  3. Surface preparation agent prior to atomic layer deposition (ALD) of Al₂O₃ and HfO₂ films.

  4. Defect mitigation additive in CMP post-clean formulations for copper and cobalt interconnects.

  5. Residue control component in vapor-phase degreasing systems using HFE-7200 and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene.

DF-107 Semiconductor Surfactant – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for DF-107?

A: The CAS Number for DF-107 Semiconductor Surfactant is 2278412-98-7. Full chemical identity is protected under proprietary formulation guidelines per SEMI E176.


Q2: What is the recommended usage concentration in DI water rinse applications?

A: Typical dosage ranges from 50 to 200 ppm (0.005–0.02 wt%) depending on tool configuration and wafer topology; validation via contact angle mapping and particle count (KLA-Tencor Surfscan) is required before ramp-up.


Q3: How does DF-107 compare to conventional silicone-based surfactants in terms of extractables?

A: DF-107 exhibits <0.05 ng/cm² extractable fluorocarbon mass after 120 °C bake (per SEMI F57), whereas silicone surfactants typically show >5 ng/cm² siloxane migration—making DF-107 suitable for gate oxide integrity-critical layers.


Q4: Is DF-107 certified for use in ISO Class 1 cleanrooms?

A: Yes—DF-107 is manufactured and packaged in ISO Class 3 (Class 10) environments, with particulate testing per ISO 14644-1 showing <1 particle ≥0.1 µm per mL in 0.1 wt% solution (filtered through 10 nm PTFE membrane).


Q5: Does DF-107 require special handling for electrostatic discharge (ESD) control?

A: No—DF-107 has a bulk resistivity of 1.2 × 10⁹ Ω·cm at 25 °C and is fully compatible with standard grounded stainless-steel and fluoropolymer fluid delivery systems; no additional ESD mitigation is needed.
