Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for RFJ-210G Photoresist?
A: RFJ-210G is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual CAS numbers are assigned to key constituents only (e.g., DNQ derivative: CAS 2417-36-5; novolac resin blend: CAS 9003-35-4). Full composition disclosure is available under NDA.
Q2: What is the recommended coating thickness and spin speed range for 200 mm wafers?
A: For target thickness of 1.2 ± 0.1 µm, use 3000–3500 rpm for 30 seconds on standard spin coaters; thickness scales predictably from 0.8 µm (2500 rpm) to 1.8 µm (4200 rpm) under controlled humidity (<40% RH).
Q3: How does RFJ-210G compare to RFJ-200 series in terms of resolution and etch resistance?
A: RFJ-210G offers ~15% higher resolution and improved plasma etch selectivity (SiO₂:photoresist ≈ 3.2:1 vs. 2.6:1 for RFJ-200) due to enhanced crosslink density and aromatic content, with comparable photospeed.
Q4: Is RFJ-210G compliant with USP <87>/<88> or ISO 10993 for medical device lithography?
A: RFJ-210G is not certified for direct biocompatibility testing; however, residual monomer and solvent levels meet stringent extraction limits per ICH Q3C and SEMI C32 standards, supporting use in Class III device mask fabrication where photoresist contact is non-direct.
Q5: What is the typical residual solvent level after standard soft bake (90 °C, 60 s), and does it impact subsequent vacuum processing?
A: Residual PGMEA is ≤ 0.12 wt% after standard soft bake, verified by FTIR; this meets SEMI F57-0201 requirements for high-vacuum lithography tools and prevents condensation or contamination in load-lock chambers.
