RZJ-T3520 Photoresist

RZJ-T3520 Photoresist is a high-resolution positive-tone photoresist from RZJ’s T-series, engineered for advanced semiconductor lithography. Featuring excellent sensitivity, thermal stability and etch resistance, it enables sub-350 nm patterning with high CD uniformity and low line-edge roughness on silicon wafers.

Features Of RZJ-T3520 Photoresist

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

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 140 °C, enabling robust post-exposure bake (PEB) and etch resistance.

  3. Low outgassing profile suitable for vacuum-based lithography processes and sensitive optical systems.

  4. Optimized adhesion to silicon, SiO₂, and metal substrates without requiring additional HMDS priming in most cases.

  5. Consistent film uniformity (< ±3% thickness variation across 200 mm wafers) after spin-coating at 3000–4500 rpm.

Typical Applications Of RZJ-T3520 Photoresist

  1. Microelectronics: Front-end-of-line (FEOL) gate-level patterning for power ICs and analog devices.

  2. MEMS fabrication: High-fidelity structural layer definition for accelerometers, pressure sensors, and RF resonators.

  3. Advanced packaging: Redistribution layer (RDL) and via-in-pad patterning for fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP).

  4. Photomask repair and prototyping: Precision mask writing and small-batch photomask fabrication.

  5. Optoelectronic components: Waveguide and grating patterning for integrated photonics platforms.

RZJ-T3520 Photoresist – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for RZJ-T3520 Photoresist?

A: RZJ-T3520 is a proprietary multi-component formulation; individual CAS numbers are assigned to key constituents (e.g., novolac resin: 9003-35-4; photoacid generator: 170575-02-3). Full compositional disclosure requires signed CDA.


Q2: What is the recommended coating thickness and corresponding spin speed range for 6-inch wafers?

A: For 1.2 ± 0.05 µm dry film thickness on bare Si, use 3800 ± 200 rpm for 30 seconds. Thickness scales predictably from 0.9 µm (3200 rpm) to 1.8 µm (5000 rpm) under controlled ambient (22 ± 1 °C, 45 ± 5% RH).


Q3: How does RZJ-T3520 compare to AZ® 4620 in terms of resolution and etch resistance?

A: RZJ-T3520 achieves finer resolution (0.8 µm vs. 1.2 µm for AZ 4620 under identical i-line conditions) and demonstrates ~25% higher etch selectivity against SiO₂ plasma (CHF₃/O₂), while maintaining comparable photospeed and shelf life.


Q4: Are there any known migration or extractable concerns when used in medical device microfabrication?

A: Extractables testing per USP <87> and <88> (cytotoxicity and systemic injection assays) confirms no adverse biological reactivity. Residual monomer and solvent levels remain below ICH Q3C Stage 3 limits after standard hard bake (120 °C, 60 s).
