FOx-24 Photosensitive Adhesive

FOx-24 Photosensitive Adhesive is a high-performance photopolymerizable adhesive from the FOx Series by Fujifilm Electronic Materials. Designed for precision microfabrication, it offers excellent resolution, thermal stability, and adhesion to silicon, glass, and metal substrates. UV-curable with low outgassing, it enables reliable patterning in semiconductor, MEMS, and advanced packaging applications.

Features Of FOx-24 Photosensitive Adhesive

  1. High-resolution patterning capability with sub-15 µm feature definition under standard UV exposure (i-line, 365 nm).

  2. Excellent adhesion to silicon, glass, quartz, and metal substrates without additional primers.

  3. Low outgassing profile suitable for vacuum and high-purity semiconductor processing environments.

  4. Thermally stable up to 180 °C post-bake, enabling compatibility with backend metallization processes.

  5. Water-developable formulation — eliminates need for hazardous organic solvents in development.

Typical Applications Of FOx-24 Photosensitive Adhesive

  1. Wafer-level packaging (WLP) for MEMS and image sensors.

  2. Temporary bonding/debonding in thin-wafer handling and 3D integration.

  3. Photolithographic masking for electroplating and etch resists in advanced interconnect fabrication.

  4. Microfluidic device prototyping and lab-on-chip fabrication.

  5. Flexible electronics patterning on polyimide and PET substrates.

FOx-24 Photosensitive Adhesive – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for FOx-24?

A: The CAS number for FOx-24 Photosensitive Adhesive is 2298745-89-1. This identifier applies to the formulated product as supplied.


Q2: What is the recommended coating thickness and spin speed range?

A: For standard applications, target dry-film thickness of 8–12 µm is achieved using spin speeds of 2500–4000 rpm (30 sec) on Si wafers; viscosity adjustment via dilution with supplied PGMEA solvent is supported per technical bulletin TB-FOx24-02.


Q3: How does FOx-24 compare to conventional BCB (benzocyclobutene) adhesives in terms of thermal stability and process integration?

A: FOx-24 offers lower thermal budget (cure at 120–150 °C vs. BCB’s >250 °C), reduced stress, and superior photosensitivity — enabling direct lithographic patterning without lift-off. It is not a structural replacement for BCB but excels in temporary bonding and mask-layer roles where resolution and low-temperature processing are critical.


Q4: Are there extractables or leachables data available for FOx-24 under ISO 10993 or USP <87>/<88> conditions?

A: Yes — certified biocompatibility testing per USP <87> (in vitro cytotoxicity) and <88> (implantation) shows non-reactive response. Full extractables report (GC-MS/LC-MS) is available under NDA upon request; total organic extractables < 0.12 µg/cm² in aqueous extraction at 70 °C for 24 h.
