Features Of Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier B-CEA

  1. Ultra-low ionic residue to prevent wafer surface contamination and metal ion leaching.

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

  3. Non-reducing, non-oxidizing molecular structure compatible with high-purity silicon, copper, and low-k dielectric materials.

  4. Highly effective at sub-ppb surfactant removal via DI water rinsing—validated by TOC and particle count testing.

  5. Free of halogens, amines, phosphates, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) per SEMI S2/S8 standards.

Typical Applications Of Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier B-CEA

  1. Post-etch residue removal for advanced logic and memory device fabrication.

  2. Photoresist stripping aid in aqueous-based, low-damage chemistries.

  3. Carrier fluid component in precision wafer cleaning formulations for CMP post-clean.

  4. Stabilizer for nano-dispersed ceria and silica slurries used in polishing applications.

  5. Emulsifying agent in solvent-free, water-rinseable photoresist removers for 300 mm wafer lines.

Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier B-CEA – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for B-CEA?

A: CAS No. 2249192-87-3 — assigned to the proprietary ethoxylated aliphatic diol backbone structure with controlled EO distribution (avg. 12–15 units).


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

A: Typical use level is 0.1–0.8 wt% in final formulation; optimal performance validated at 0.3–0.5 wt% for 28 nm and below node processes.


Q3: How does B-CEA differ from conventional nonionic surfactants like Triton™ X-100 or Tween™ 80?

A: Unlike legacy surfactants, B-CEA contains no alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs), exhibits <1 ppb total sodium/potassium by ICP-MS, and delivers >99.98% DI-water rinse efficiency—critical for sub-5 nm metallization layers.


Q4: Is B-CEA subject to extractables or leachables concerns in contact with PTFE or FEP wetted parts?

A: No measurable extractables observed after 72 h immersion at 60 °C in FEP tubing per USP <87> cytotoxicity screening; validated via LC-MS/MS for organic leachables.


Q5: Does B-CEA require special handling or storage conditions?

A: Store sealed at 10–30 °C; avoid prolonged exposure to UV light or temperatures >45 °C. No special ventilation or PPE beyond standard lab gloves/goggles required per SDS Section 8.
