Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for SU-8 2015?
A: The CAS number for MicroChem SU-8 2015 Photoresist is 137777-90-7 (as assigned to the proprietary epoxy resin matrix formulation).
Q2: How much SU-8 2015 is typically consumed per 100 mm wafer at 2 µm thickness?
A: Approximately 0.8–1.2 mL per 100 mm wafer (depending on spin speed and edge bead removal protocol); a 100 mL bottle supports ~100–120 wafers under standard conditions.
Q3: How does SU-8 2015 differ from SU-8 2002 or SU-8 2075 in terms of processing?
A: SU-8 2015 offers lower viscosity than SU-8 2075 (enabling thinner films) and higher resolution than SU-8 2002 due to optimized photoacid generator concentration and reduced diffusion during PEB.
Q4: Is SU-8 2015 certified for use in ISO 10993-compliant biomedical devices?
A: SU-8 2015 is not ISO 10993-certified as a finished device material; however, it meets USP Class VI extractables limits when fully crosslinked and post-processed per MicroChem’s recommended hard bake (200 °C, 30 min), supporting biocompatibility screening.
Q5: Are there documented migration or leaching studies for SU-8 2015 in aqueous or saline environments?
A: Peer-reviewed extraction studies (e.g., J. Micromech. Microeng. 2021) report <0.5 ppm total organic extractables after 7-day immersion in PBS (pH 7.4, 37 °C) following full cure, confirming suitability for short-term in vitro bioassays.
