Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Dow ECOSURF LF-30?
A: The CAS number is 9002-93-1 (generic for C12–C15 alcohol ethoxylates, EO≈7); batch-specific analytical certificates are provided with each shipment.
Q2: What is the recommended use concentration in DI water rinse applications?
A: Typical dosage ranges from 0.02 to 0.05 wt% (200–500 ppm); optimization is required per tool configuration and defect sensitivity requirements.
Q3: How does ECOSURF LF-30 compare to ECOSURF EH-9 in semiconductor applications?
A: LF-30 offers lower foam, higher thermal stability, and stricter ionic purity vs. EH-9; it is formulated specifically for BEOL, whereas EH-9 targets broader industrial cleaning.
Q4: Is ECOSURF LF-30 subject to outgassing or extractables concerns in high-vacuum packaging environments?
A: No — validated per SEMI F57 and JEDEC JESD22-A109; total volatile condensable materials (CVCM) <0.1%, and no detectable extractables via LC-MS after 24-hr DI water leaching at 40 °C.
Q5: Does ECOSURF LF-30 require special handling or storage conditions?
A: Store at 10–30 °C in original sealed container; avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures >40 °C or direct sunlight. No special PPE beyond standard lab gloves and eye protection is required.
