Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier SR-10

SR-10 is a semiconductor-grade nonionic emulsifier from the Semiconductor Dedicated series by SR Chemical. Designed for ultra-high-purity applications, it ensures exceptional stability, low ionic residue, and compatibility with photoresists and cleaning formulations. Its optimized HLB value enables efficient dispersion of hydrophobic additives in aqueous semiconductor processes without compromising wafer cleanliness or device yield.

Features Of Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier SR-10

  1. Ultra-low ionic residue to prevent metal ion contamination critical for wafer-level processing.

  2. Exceptional hydrolytic stability under neutral-to-mildly alkaline conditions (pH 6–9) common in semiconductor cleaning formulations.

  3. Non-volatile, non-foaming profile ensures compatibility with precision spray, immersion, and megasonic cleaning equipment.

  4. High purity grade with rigorous trace metal screening (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Ni < 10 ppb each by ICP-MS).

  5. Designed for rapid rinsability with DI water—minimizes post-cleaning residue and particle re-deposition.

Typical Applications Of Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier SR-10

  1. Photoresist stripper and post-etch residue removal formulations.

  2. Wafer surface conditioning agents for copper/low-k dielectric interface preparation.

  3. Carrier fluid additive in CMP (Chemical Mechanical Planarization) slurry stabilizers.

  4. Emulsifying component in aqueous-based photoresist removers and organic solvent blends.

  5. Residue-free surfactant for pre-diffusion cleaning and epitaxial growth chamber preparation.

Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier SR-10 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for SR-10?

A: The CAS Number for Semiconductor Dedicated Nonionic Emulsifier SR-10 is 2089467-82-1.


Q2: What is the recommended usage concentration in semiconductor cleaning formulations?

A: Typical dosage ranges from 0.1% to 2.0% w/w depending on soil load and process temperature; optimal performance is achieved at 0.5–1.2% in immersion cleaning at 25–45°C.


Q3: How does SR-10 differ from conventional nonionic emulsifiers like Triton™ X-100 or Tween™ 80?

A: Unlike Triton™ X-100 (alkylphenol-based) or Tween™ 80 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan), SR-10 is alkylphenol ethoxylate-free, features ultra-low extractables (< 50 ppb total organics by GC-MS), and is manufactured under ISO 14644-1 Class 5 cleanroom conditions.


Q4: Is SR-10 certified for use in FDA-regulated semiconductor packaging applications?

A: SR-10 is not intended for direct food contact; however, it meets USP <841> residual solvents limits and has been validated for extractables/leachables testing per USP <1663> in plastic packaging components used for high-purity chemical transport.


Q5: Has migration or leaching of SR-10 into silicon wafers been evaluated under standard thermal cycling?

A: Yes — independent third-party testing (per SEMI F21-0312) confirmed no detectable SR-10 migration (< 0.05 ng/cm²) after 200 cycles (−40°C to 125°C) on Si/SiO₂ substrates with full rinse protocol.
