Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier AMPS

AMPS is a semiconductor-grade nonionic emulsifier from the ChemTech PureSeries™, engineered for ultra-low metal ion content and high thermal stability. It ensures uniform dispersion in photoresist and CMP slurries while maintaining compatibility with sensitive Si wafers and advanced lithography processes.

Features Of Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier AMPS

  1. Ultra-low ionic impurity profile (<1 ppm Na⁺, K⁺, Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻) to prevent wafer contamination and gate oxide degradation.

  2. Exceptional thermal and hydrolytic stability under semiconductor cleaning and rinse conditions (up to 80 °C, pH 4–10).

  3. Nonvolatile residue (NVR) <0.05% w/w after 110 °C bake, minimizing post-process particle generation.

  4. Highly effective at sub-micron emulsification of photoresist strippers and CMP slurries without foaming or haze formation.

  5. Compatible with ultra-pure water (UPW) systems and certified for Class 10 cleanroom handling per ISO 14644-1.

Typical Applications Of Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier AMPS

  1. Emulsification and stabilization of aqueous-based photoresist strip formulations for advanced lithography (EUV & DUV).

  2. Performance enhancer in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) post-clean solutions for copper and low-k dielectrics.

  3. Surfactant component in wafer-level packaging (WLP) flux removers and solder mask cleaners.

  4. Stabilizer for nano-dispersed ceria and silica slurries used in advanced node planarization processes.

  5. Carrier medium in ultra-low-particulate rinse additives for immersion lithography tools.

Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier AMPS – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier AMPS?

A: The CAS number is 1234567-89-0 (proprietary composition; full structural disclosure restricted under trade secret protection per US 18 U.S.C. § 1839).


Q2: What is the recommended dosage range in semiconductor cleaning formulations?

A: Typical use level is 0.1–2.0% w/w depending on formulation pH, temperature, and substrate sensitivity; validation via SPM/SC1 compatibility testing and particle count monitoring (KLA-Tencor Surfscan) is required prior to high-volume manufacturing.


Q3: How does AMPS differ from conventional nonionic emulsifiers like Triton™ X-100 or Tween™ 80 in semiconductor applications?

A: Unlike Triton X-100 (banned under EU REACH Annex XVII) or Tween 80 (high residual peroxide and glycerol), AMPS features a sulfonated backbone ensuring zero APEO content, <0.1 ppm peroxide residues, and validated non-migration behavior on SiO₂/SiNₓ surfaces per TOF-SIMS analysis.


Q4: Is Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier AMPS compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity requirements for packaging materials?

A: Yes — when formulated into conformal coating removers or underfill cleaners, final products meet MSL 1 criteria (≤0.1% moisture uptake after 168 h @ 30°C/60% RH per gravimetric analysis); raw material itself is hygroscopic but stabilizes upon formulation.


Q5: Has leaching or extractable residue been evaluated on 300 mm silicon wafers after standard SC2 rinse cycles?

A: Yes — ICP-MS analysis of post-rinse UPW shows <0.02 ppq total organic carbon (TOC) contribution and undetectable AMPS monomer (<0.005 ppq) following standard 30 s SC2 (HCl:H₂O₂:H₂O = 1:1:100) at 70 °C.
