Features Of Positive Photoresist Stripper RBL-3368

  1. Fast and complete removal of standard positive photoresists (e.g., AZ® 4620, Shipley S1800 series) without substrate damage.

  2. Non-corrosive formulation compatible with aluminum, copper, titanium, and silicon dioxide layers.

  3. Low volatility and high thermal stability for consistent performance in batch and spray cleaning systems.

  4. Water-rinseable residue profile — eliminates need for aggressive solvent post-rinses.

  5. Formulated without halogenated solvents or NMP (N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone), supporting safer workplace handling.

Typical Applications Of Positive Photoresist Stripper RBL-3368

  1. Semiconductor front-end-of-line (FEOL) and back-end-of-line (BEOL) photomask and wafer stripping.

  2. MEMS device fabrication requiring high-fidelity resist removal prior to etch or deposition steps.

  3. Flat panel display (FPD) manufacturing for TFT array patterning cleanup.

  4. Advanced packaging processes including fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) and bump processing.

  5. R&D and pilot-line applications where low-metal-ion contamination and reproducible kinetics are critical.

Positive Photoresist Stripper RBL-3368 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for RBL-3368?

A: RBL-3368 is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual CAS numbers are not assigned to the final product. Key constituents include sodium metasilicate pentahydrate (CAS 10213-79-3) and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (CAS 111-90-0), listed on the full Safety Data Sheet (SDS).


Q2: What is the recommended working concentration and temperature range?

A: Use as a 1:1 to 1:3 dilution (v/v) with deionized water. Optimal stripping occurs at 60–75°C with 2–6 minutes dwell time, depending on resist thickness and crosslink density.


Q3: How does RBL-3368 compare to traditional amine-based strippers in terms of metal ion contamination?

A: RBL-3368 contains <1 ppb total Na⁺/K⁺/Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺ (ICP-MS tested), significantly lower than conventional monoethanolamine (MEA) or ethylenediamine (EDA) strippers, minimizing risk of gate oxide degradation in advanced nodes.


Q4: Is RBL-3368 suitable for use in environments requiring ISO 14644-1 Class 100 cleanrooms?

A: Yes — validated for particle generation ≤10 particles ≥0.2 µm per mL (per JIS B 9921:2019) when filtered through 0.1 µm PTFE membrane prior to use.
