Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) fabrication requiring high-aspect-ratio resist profiles.
Semiconductor packaging lithography, including redistribution layer (RDL) and bump mask patterning.

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.
