Features Of Photoresist Raw Material Acetonitrile

  1. Ultra-high purity (≥99.999%): rigorously purified to minimize metallic impurities (<10 ppt) and particulates (<0.1 µm), critical for defect-free photolithography.

  2. Low water content (<10 ppm): prevents hydrolysis of acid-labile photoresist polymers during formulation and storage.

  3. Consistent batch-to-batch performance: certified with full traceability, GC-MS and ICP-MS analytical reports provided per lot.

  4. Low volatility residue: meets SEMI C36 purity standards for semiconductor-grade solvents used in cleanroom environments.

  5. Non-reactive with common photoacid generators (PAGs) and polymer resins, ensuring formulation stability over extended shelf life.

Typical Applications Of Photoresist Raw Material Acetonitrile

  1. Primary solvent in advanced 193-nm immersion and EUV photoresist formulations for logic and memory device manufacturing.

  2. Diluent for photoacid generator (PAG) pre-mixing prior to resin incorporation in high-resolution resist casting solutions.

  3. Rinse agent in post-apply bake (PAB) and post-exposure bake (PEB) process validation for low-defect patterning.

  4. Carrier solvent for analytical standard preparation in HPLC and GC-based photoresist quality control labs.

  5. Component in proprietary developer co-solvent systems for optimized dissolution rate uniformity across wafers.

Photoresist Raw Material Acetonitrile – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for this acetonitrile grade?

A: The CAS number is 75-05-8. This refers specifically to the ultra-high-purity semiconductor-grade material meeting SEMI C36 specifications.


Q2: What is the typical usage concentration in photoresist formulations?

A: Typically used at 70–90 wt% in final resist casting solutions, depending on polymer molecular weight and desired film thickness; always validated via rheology and spin-coating uniformity testing.


Q3: How does this grade differ from standard ACS-grade acetonitrile?

A: Unlike ACS-grade, this material undergoes additional sub-ppb metal removal, rigorous particle filtration (<0.05 µm), and dedicated packaging in fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) bottles to prevent extractables and leachables.


Q4: Is it compliant with USP <846> or ISO 10993 for biocompatibility-related lithography?

A: While not certified for direct medical device contact, it meets ISO 10993-12 extraction protocols for non-cytotoxic solvents and is widely accepted in MEMS and bio-MEMS fabrication where residual solvent migration is assessed per ASTM F748.
