RZJ-3600 Photoresist

RZJ-3600 Photoresist is a high-resolution positive-tone photoresist from RZJ’s advanced lithography series, engineered for precision semiconductor and MEMS fabrication. Featuring excellent sensitivity, thermal stability, and aqueous alkaline developability, it delivers consistent pattern fidelity at sub-micron feature sizes. Widely adopted in IC manufacturing, display, and advanced packaging applications.

Features Of RZJ-3600 Photoresist

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

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

  3. Low outgassing profile under vacuum conditions, minimizing contamination in lithography steppers and EUV pre-chamber environments.

  4. Optimized adhesion to silicon, SiO₂, SiNₓ, and metal substrates (Al, Cu, TiW) without mandatory HMDS priming.

  5. Environmentally enhanced formulation with reduced aromatic solvent content and compliant with VOC emission guidelines (EPA Method 24).

Typical Applications Of RZJ-3600 Photoresist

  1. Semiconductor front-end-of-line (FEOL) gate and contact layer patterning for 0.13–0.25 µm CMOS processes.

  2. MEMS device fabrication including accelerometers, gyroscopes, and microfluidic channel definition.

  3. Power device manufacturing (IGBTs, SiC diodes) requiring thick-film (>3 µm), high-etch-selectivity resist layers.

  4. Advanced packaging applications such as redistribution layer (RDL) and fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP).

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

RZJ-3600 Photoresist – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for RZJ-3600 Photoresist?

A: RZJ-3600 is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual CAS numbers are assigned to key constituents (e.g., novolac resin: 9003-35-4; DNQ: 86-73-7). Full compositional disclosure requires signed CDA.


Q2: What is the typical coating thickness and recommended spin speed range for 3.0 µm target film?

A: For 3.0 µm nominal thickness on bare silicon wafers, use 2500–2800 rpm for 30 seconds (acceleration 500 rpm/sec); final thickness tolerance: ±0.15 µm (3σ) under controlled temp/humidity (22±1°C, 45±5% RH).


Q3: How does RZJ-3600 compare to GBL-1200 in terms of resolution and etch resistance?

A: RZJ-3600 offers superior resolution (0.8 µm vs. 1.2 µm for GBL-1200) and ~25% higher etch resistance in CF₄/O₂ plasma, but requires tighter PEB temperature control (±0.5°C vs. ±1.5°C for GBL-1200).


Q4: Is RZJ-3600 certified for use in medical device manufacturing per ISO 10993 or USP Class VI?

A: RZJ-3600 is not intended for direct patient-contact applications. It meets ISO 14644-1 Class 5 cleanroom handling standards and has passed extractables testing per USP <661.1>, but full ISO 10993 biocompatibility assessment requires end-device level validation.


Q5: Are there known migration or leaching concerns when RZJ-3600 residues remain after stripping in copper interconnect processes?

A: Residual carbonized resist is effectively removed by standard sulfuric acid/peroxide (SPM) or oxygen plasma ashing. Trace metal analysis (ICP-MS) shows Cu, Al, and Fe leaching <0.05 ppb post-strip—well below SEMI F57 limits for 300 mm wafer fabs.
