Features Of Semiconductor Raw Material Specialty Amine Series N,N-Diethyl-1,3-Propanediamine

  1. Highly selective chelating agent for transition metal ions (e.g., Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺), critical in semiconductor cleaning and CMP slurry stabilization.

  2. Low volatility and enhanced thermal stability versus monoalkylated analogs, supporting high-temperature processing environments up to 180 °C.

  3. Controlled basicity (pKb ≈ 3.8) enabling precise pH modulation in ultra-pure aqueous formulations without excessive ionic residue.

  4. Ultra-low metallic impurity profile (<10 ppt each of Fe, Na, K, Ca, Al), meeting SEMI C12/C13 purity standards for front-end-of-line applications.

  5. Hydrophilic-lipophilic balance optimized for uniform dispersion in both polar solvents (e.g., GBL, PGMEA) and dilute aqueous etchants.

Typical Applications Of Semiconductor Raw Material Specialty Amine Series N,N-Diethyl-1,3-Propanediamine

  1. Copper post-CMP cleaning formulations to prevent redox-driven re-deposition and micro-scratching.

  2. Stabilizer in next-generation cobalt and ruthenium barrier etch chemistries for sub-3nm node interconnect integration.

  3. Complexing ligand in photoresist developer additives to suppress metal-induced pattern collapse and line-edge roughness (LER).

  4. Corrosion inhibitor component in low-k dielectric wet cleans targeting SiCOH and porous organosilicates.

  5. Functional additive in electrochemical deposition (ECD) accelerators for advanced copper interconnect filling.

Semiconductor Raw Material Specialty Amine Series N,N-Diethyl-1,3-Propanediamine – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for N,N-Diethyl-1,3-propanediamine?

A: The CAS number is 104-78-9.


Q2: What is the typical recommended dosage range in copper post-CMP cleaning formulations?

A: 10–100 ppm (w/w) in final diluted chemistry; optimal performance observed at 40–60 ppm with 0.5% H₂O₂ and 500 ppm NH₃.


Q3: How does this amine compare to triethylenetetramine (TETA) in terms of metal leaching risk from stainless-steel process lines?

A: N,N-Diethyl-1,3-propanediamine exhibits significantly lower extractable metal mobilization due to steric hindrance from ethyl groups and absence of primary amines—validated by ASTM D1121 testing showing <0.05 ppb Fe release vs. 2.3 ppb for TETA under identical conditions.


Q4: Is this material certified for use in ISO Class 1 cleanroom manufacturing environments?

A: Yes—certified to ISO 14644-1 Class 1 for airborne molecular contamination (AMC) during handling; packaged under nitrogen in double-bagged, fluoropolymer-lined HDPE containers with 0.003 µm particle filtration.
