Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for FOx-15 Photosensitive Adhesive?
A: FOx-15 is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual components are listed under CAS numbers 37205-92-4 (novolac resin), 131-93-1 (DNQ sensitizer), and 108-65-6 (PGMEA solvent). Full composition disclosure requires NDA.
Q2: What is the recommended spin-coating thickness and corresponding spin speed range?
A: Target dry-film thickness of 8–12 µm is achieved at 2000–3000 rpm for 30 seconds (standard 4-inch Si wafers); thickness scales predictably with solids content and acceleration profile.
Q3: How does FOx-15 compare to conventional B-stage epoxy temporary adhesives in terms of debonding performance?
A: FOx-15 enables room-temperature UV debonding (after optional low-temp (<150 °C) thermal stabilization), eliminating thermal stress and warpage issues associated with epoxy-based thermal debonding (>250 °C).
Q4: Is FOx-15 certified for food-contact or medical device applications?
A: FOx-15 is not FDA-cleared or ISO 10993 tested. It is intended for industrial semiconductor and microfabrication use only; migration testing per USP <87> and <88> shows negligible extractables below detection limits in aqueous simulants.
