Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for RFJ-210 Photoresist?
A: RFJ-210 is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual CAS numbers are assigned only to its major constituents (e.g., novolac resin: CAS 9003-35-4; DNQ sensitizer: CAS 82-08-6). Full compositional disclosure requires signed CDA.
Q2: What is the typical coating thickness and recommended spin speed range?
A: At 3000 rpm, achieves 1.2 ± 0.05 µm dry film thickness on bare Si wafers; optimal spin speed range is 2500–4000 rpm depending on desired thickness (0.9–1.8 µm).
Q3: How does RFJ-210 compare to RFJ-180 in terms of resolution and process window?
A: RFJ-210 offers higher resolution (≤0.8 µm vs. ≥1.2 µm for RFJ-180) and wider focus latitude (±0.4 µm vs. ±0.2 µm), but requires tighter temperature control during PAB due to higher DNQ loading.
Q4: Is RFJ-210 compliant with ISO 10993 or USP Class VI for biomedical device patterning?
A: RFJ-210 is not certified to ISO 10993 or USP Class VI. It is intended for industrial semiconductor/MEMS use only; residual monomer extraction testing data is available under NDA for qualifying R&D programs.
Q5: Are there known extractables or leachables when RFJ-210 is used on stainless steel or glass substrates in wet etch environments?
A: No significant leachables observed in IPA or DI water rinses (LC-MS detection limit <1 ppm); however, prolonged immersion (>10 min) in concentrated HF-based etchants may cause partial resist lift-off—use only with verified hard-bake protocols.
