RZJ-390PG Photoresist

RZJ-390PG Photoresist is a high-resolution positive-tone photoresist from RZJ’s advanced lithography series, engineered for precision patterning in semiconductor and MEMS fabrication. Featuring excellent sensitivity, thermal stability, and aqueous alkaline developability, it delivers consistent line-width control and high etch resistance. Widely used in 0.35–0.18 μm processes, it ensures superior adhesion and low defect density on silicon, glass, and metal substrates.

Features Of RZJ-390PG Photoresist

  1. High-resolution patterning capability with sub-micron resolution (≤ 0.8 µm) under standard i-line (365 nm) exposure.

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 120 °C post-bake, minimizing pattern deformation during subsequent processing steps.

  3. Low outgassing profile suitable for vacuum-compatible lithography environments and sensitive deposition processes.

  4. Optimized adhesion to silicon, SiO₂, and metal substrates (e.g., Al, Ti, Cr) without mandatory HMDS priming.

  5. Consistent film uniformity (< ±3% thickness variation across 200 mm wafers) when spin-coated at 2500–4000 rpm.

Typical Applications Of RZJ-390PG Photoresist

  1. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication requiring high-aspect-ratio resist profiles.

  2. Semiconductor packaging lithography, including redistribution layer (RDL) and bump mask patterning.

  3. Flexible printed electronics manufacturing on PET and PI substrates.

  4. MEMS sensor prototyping and low-volume production in university and R&D cleanrooms.

  5. Advanced display driver IC patterning where thermal budget and line-edge roughness (LER) are critical.

RZJ-390PG Photoresist – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for RZJ-390PG Photoresist?

A: RZJ-390PG is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual CAS numbers apply to major constituents (e.g., DNQ: 2475-45-8; novolac resin blend: mixture not assigned single CAS). Full composition disclosure is available under NDA.


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

A: At 3000 rpm, achieves ~1.2 µm dry film thickness on silicon; thickness scales predictably from 0.8 µm (4000 rpm) to 2.1 µm (1500 rpm). Optimized for 2500–3500 rpm in production.


Q3: How does RZJ-390PG compare to G-line resists like AZ 4562 in terms of resolution and process latitude?

A: RZJ-390PG offers superior resolution (≤ 0.8 µm vs. ≥ 1.5 µm for AZ 4562) and wider depth-of-focus (DOF > 1.8 µm) under i-line, but requires tighter exposure dose control (±5% vs. ±10% for G-line).


Q4: Is RZJ-390PG compliant with ISO 10993 for biocompatibility testing?

A: RZJ-390PG is not intended for direct biological contact and has not undergone ISO 10993 evaluation. Residual monomer and solvent extraction profiles meet SEMI S2-0219 safety thresholds for semiconductor tool handling.


Q5: What is the expected extractable content after development and hard bake?

A: Total volatile organic extractables (per IEC 60112) are < 0.08 wt% after standard post-exposure bake (PEB) at 110 °C for 60 s and development in 0.26 N TMAH.
