Features Of RFJ-210 Photoresist

  1. High-resolution patterning capability with sub-micron resolution down to 0.8 µm under standard i-line exposure (365 nm).

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 140 °C post-bake, minimizing pattern deformation during downstream processing.

  3. Low outgassing profile suitable for vacuum-compatible lithography tools and MEMS fabrication environments.

  4. Optimized adhesion to silicon, SiO₂, and metal substrates without requiring specialized primers.

  5. Consistent performance across wafer batches with tight CD uniformity control (3σ ≤ ±3.5% of target line width).

Typical Applications Of RFJ-210 Photoresist

  1. Front-end semiconductor manufacturing for gate-level and interconnect layer patterning.

  2. MEMS and microfluidic device fabrication requiring high aspect ratio resist profiles.

  3. Advanced packaging applications including fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) redistribution layers.

  4. Photomask repair and direct-write maskless lithography processes.

  5. Research & development in nanoscale patterning labs using stepper and contact aligners.

RFJ-210 Photoresist – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.
