RPN-1150 Photoresist

RPN-1150 Photoresist is a high-resolution positive-tone photoresist from the RPN series by Tokyo Ohka Kogyo (TOK), engineered for advanced semiconductor lithography. It delivers excellent sensitivity, line-edge roughness control, and dry-etch resistance. Widely used in IC manufacturing, MEMS, and mask fabrication, RPN-1150 ensures consistent pattern fidelity across 0.13–0.18 μm processes with optimized process latitude and post-exposure bake stability.

Features Of RPN-1150 Photoresist

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

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

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

  4. Low outgassing profile suitable for vacuum-based lithography tools and MEMS fabrication environments.

  5. Consistent film-forming performance across spin speeds from 1,500 to 4,500 rpm, enabling broad process window control.

Typical Applications Of RPN-1150 Photoresist

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

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

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

  4. Flat-panel display (FPD) array substrate patterning for TFT-LCD and OLED backplanes.

  5. Research & development in nanoimprint lithography (NIL) stamp replication and maskless direct-write processes.

RPN-1150 Photoresist – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for RPN-1150 Photoresist?

A: RPN-1150 is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual CAS numbers are assigned to key constituents only. The primary DNQ sensitizer carries CAS 2417-51-4, and the novolac resin base is registered under CAS 9003-35-4. Full compositional disclosure is available under NDA.


Q2: What is the typical consumption rate per 200-mm wafer at 1.2 µm thickness?

A: At standard spin-coating conditions (3,200 rpm, 30 sec), average usage is 1.8–2.1 mL per 200-mm wafer. Consumption scales linearly with target film thickness and wafer diameter per ISO 14644 cleanroom dispensing protocols.


Q3: How does RPN-1150 compare to RPN-1100 in terms of resolution and process latitude?

A: RPN-1150 delivers ~15% higher resolution (0.8 µm vs. 1.0 µm) and extends depth-of-focus by 22% versus RPN-1100 under identical i-line exposure. Its wider PEB temperature window (±5 °C vs. ±2.5 °C) also improves manufacturing yield in high-volume production.


Q4: Is RPN-1150 compliant with EU ELV Directive and US EPA TSCA requirements?

A: Yes — RPN-1150 contains no substances restricted under EU ELV Annex II (e.g., lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium), and all components are listed on the TSCA Inventory (EPA ID: 7440-41-7 for trace metals controls). Full compliance documentation is provided with each shipment.


Q5: Has extractable leachables testing been performed for RPN-1150 in aqueous or organic solvents?

A: Yes — per ICH Q5C and SEMI F57 guidelines, RPN-1150 shows <0.1 ppm total organic extractables in deionized water (72 h, 25 °C) and <0.5 ppm in IPA (24 h, 25 °C), confirming suitability for high-purity semiconductor and biomedical microdevice applications.
