RFJ-230 Photoresist

RFJ-230 Photoresist is a high-resolution positive-tone photoresist from the RFJ series by Zhejiang RuiFeng Chemical Co., optimized for semiconductor lithography and MEMS fabrication. Featuring excellent sensitivity, thermal stability, and aqueous alkaline developability, it delivers precise pattern transfer with sub-micron resolution and low line-edge roughness.

Features Of RFJ-230 Photoresist

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

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 140 °C, enabling robust post-exposure bake and etch process compatibility.

  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 3 and REACH SVHC criteria.

Typical Applications Of RFJ-230 Photoresist

  1. Front-end semiconductor manufacturing: gate-level and interconnect patterning in CMOS logic devices.

  2. MEMS fabrication: high-aspect-ratio microstructure definition for sensors and actuators.

  3. Advanced packaging: redistribution layer (RDL) and through-silicon via (TSV) lithography.

  4. Micro-LED display backplane patterning on glass and silicon carbide substrates.

  5. Research & development applications in nanofabrication labs requiring reproducible, low-defect resist performance.

RFJ-230 Photoresist – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for RFJ-230 Photoresist?

A: RFJ-230 Photoresist is a proprietary multi-component formulation and does not carry a single CAS number; individual major constituents are listed in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS Section 3) upon request.


Q2: What is the typical coating thickness and spin speed range for optimal performance?

A: At 22–24 wt% solids, target thicknesses of 1.0–1.4 µm are achieved at 2500–3500 rpm (30 sec) on bare Si wafers; thickness uniformity is ±2.5% across 200 mm wafers.


Q3: How does RFJ-230 compare to RFJ-220 and RFJ-240 in terms of resolution and process window?

A: RFJ-230 offers a balanced trade-off: higher resolution than RFJ-220 (optimized for cost-sensitive mature nodes) and wider process latitude (focus/exposure) than RFJ-240 (ultra-high-resolution variant); ideal for high-yield 0.18–0.13 µm production.


Q4: Is RFJ-230 certified for use in medical device manufacturing (e.g., ISO 10993 or USP Class VI)?

A: RFJ-230 is not intended for direct patient-contact applications and has not undergone ISO 10993 biological evaluation; however, it meets USP Class VI extractables limits when tested per ASTM F619 using simulated physiological extracts.


Q5: Are there known migration or leaching concerns when RFJ-230 residues remain after plasma ashing?

A: Residual carbonaceous species post-ashing are negligible (< 0.05 ng/cm²) and non-volatile under ambient conditions; no detectable leaching observed in aqueous extraction studies (ICP-MS detection limit < 0.1 ppq).
