Features Of KEY-Sliver 5# Photoresist Emulsion

  1. High-resolution imaging capability with sub-25 µm feature definition under standard UV exposure (365 nm).

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 120 °C during post-exposure bake, minimizing pattern deformation.

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

  4. Low metal ion content (<10 ppb Na, K, Fe), ensuring compatibility with semiconductor-grade processing environments.

  5. Consistent emulsion viscosity (18–22 cP at 25 °C) enables uniform spin-coating across 4″–8″ wafers and rigid substrates.

Typical Applications Of KEY-Sliver 5# Photoresist Emulsion

  1. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication requiring high-aspect-ratio patterning.

  2. Flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) inner-layer imaging for fine-line etching.

  3. Wafer-level packaging (WLP) redistribution layer (RDL) patterning.

  4. Photomask repair and direct-write lithography prototyping.

  5. Industrial sensor element patterning on glass, silicon, and polyimide substrates.

KEY-Sliver 5# Photoresist Emulsion – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for KEY-Sliver 5# Photoresist Emulsion?

A: KEY-Sliver 5# is a proprietary multi-component emulsion; individual CAS numbers apply to major constituents (e.g., novolac resin: 9003-35-4; DNQ sensitizer: 82-08-6). Full compositional disclosure is available under NDA upon request.


Q2: What is the recommended coating thickness and typical consumption rate per 6-inch wafer?

A: Target dry-film thickness is 1.2–1.8 µm (achieved at 2500–3500 rpm, 30 s). Average consumption is 1.4–1.7 mL per 6-inch wafer using standard spin parameters.


Q3: How does KEY-Sliver 5# compare to conventional solvent-based photoresists in terms of environmental impact and process safety?

A: Unlike solvent-based resists, KEY-Sliver 5# contains zero VOCs, eliminates flammability hazards, reduces workplace ventilation requirements, and avoids Class I–III organic solvent disposal protocols—supporting ISO 14001 and OSHA PEL compliance.


Q4: Has KEY-Sliver 5# been evaluated for extractables and leachables in medical device manufacturing applications?

A: Yes—per USP <788> and ISO 10993-12 testing protocols, it demonstrates <0.5 µg/cm² total organic extractables (TOE) after 72-h aqueous extraction at 50 °C, supporting Class III device component qualification.
