Features Of RFJ-220 Photoresist

  1. High-resolution patterning capability with sub-micron resolution (≤ 0.8 µm) under standard i-line exposure.

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 130 °C, enabling robust post-exposure bake (PEB) and etch resistance.

  3. Low outgassing profile suitable for vacuum-based lithography tools and sensitive optical components.

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

  5. Environmentally compliant formulation—free of halogenated solvents and restricted phthalates per RoHS Directive.

Typical Applications Of RFJ-220 Photoresist

  1. Semiconductor front-end-of-line (FEOL) photolithography for logic and memory device fabrication.

  2. MEMS and microfluidic device patterning requiring high aspect ratio and sidewall fidelity.

  3. Advanced packaging applications including fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) and redistribution layer (RDL) formation.

  4. Optoelectronic component manufacturing such as VCSELs, photodetectors, and integrated photonics waveguides.

  5. Research & development in academic and industrial nanofabrication cleanrooms.

RFJ-220 Photoresist – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for RFJ-220 Photoresist?

A: RFJ-220 Photoresist is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual CAS numbers are assigned to key constituents (e.g., DNQ derivative: CAS 2227-17-2; novolac resin blend: CAS 9003-35-4). A full composition disclosure sheet is available under NDA.


Q2: What is the typical spin-coating thickness and corresponding recommended spin speed range?

A: At 22–24 cP viscosity, RFJ-220 achieves 1.2 ± 0.1 µm thickness at 3000 rpm (20 sec) on bare Si wafers. Thickness ranges from 0.8 µm (4000 rpm) to 2.0 µm (2000 rpm); precise calibration via ellipsometry is advised per substrate.


Q3: How does RFJ-220 compare to industry-standard AZ® 4620 in terms of resolution and process latitude?

A: RFJ-220 delivers comparable resolution (≤ 0.8 µm vs. AZ® 4620’s ≤ 0.9 µm) with wider focus-exposure latitude (EL ±10% vs. ±7%) and improved adhesion on low-k dielectrics. It exhibits lower post-apply bake sensitivity and reduced T-topping tendency.


Q4: Is RFJ-220 suitable for use in medical device manufacturing where extractables/leachables testing is required?

A: Yes — RFJ-220 has undergone preliminary USP <788> particulate matter screening and ISO 10993-12 extractables assessment (in PGMEA and aqueous simulants). Full biocompatibility data packages are available for qualified customers under confidentiality agreement.
