HD MicroSystems HD-8820 Photoresist – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for HD-8820 Photoresist?

A: HD-8820 is a proprietary formulated product; individual components have CAS numbers (e.g., DNQ: 119-40-4; novolac resin: variable), but the final mixture is not assigned a single CAS number per IUPAC and regulatory convention.


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

A: At 23 °C, target thicknesses range from 0.6 µm (4500 rpm) to 2.2 µm (1800 rpm) on 200 mm wafers; full thickness vs. speed correlation data available in Technical Bulletin TB-HD8820-03.


Q3: How does HD-8820 compare to HD-8810 and HD-8830 in terms of resolution and thermal stability?

A: HD-8820 offers balanced resolution (≤ 0.8 µm) and thermal stability (up to 130 °C PEB); HD-8810 prioritizes higher photospeed (>25 mJ/cm²) with slightly lower resolution (≥ 1.2 µm), while HD-8830 delivers enhanced thermal resistance (up to 150 °C) and improved etch selectivity at the cost of moderate photospeed reduction.


Q4: Is HD-8820 compliant with USP <87> and <88> for extractables/leachables testing in medical device applications?

A: HD-8820 is not certified for direct biomedical implantation use; however, it meets ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity screening when fully cured and processed, and extractables profiles are available upon NDA for qualifying medical microdevice applications.
