Engineered for complete removal of polymer residues, metal halides, and etch by-products following plasma dry etch processes.
Non-corrosive formulation preserves delicate metallization layers (e.g., Cu, Al, TiN) and low-k dielectrics without undercut or surface roughening.
Low surface tension and high wettability ensure uniform cleaning across high-aspect-ratio features and 3D NAND/DRAM structures.
Compatible with standard spin-rinse, megasonic, and batch immersion tool configurations without process requalification.
Free of heavy metals, halogens, and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), supporting environmental stewardship and EHS compliance.
Cleaning post-CF₄/O₂ or Cl₂/BCl₃-based silicon and oxide etch in advanced logic and foundry nodes (≤5 nm).
Residue removal after tungsten and titanium nitride hard mask etching in gate-last and contact formation modules.
Post-etch cleaning of copper interconnects and barrier layers in BEOL integration schemes.
Surface preparation prior to ALD/CVD film deposition to eliminate carbonaceous contamination and improve nucleation.
Enabling high-yield cleaning in 3D IC stacking and through-silicon via (TSV) manufacturing flows.

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for SYS-9050?
A: The CAS Registry Number for SYS-9050 Post-Dry Etch Cleaning Solution is 2278943-18-7.
Q2: What is the recommended working concentration and dwell time?
A: Typical dilution is 1:15 v/v in deionized water; dwell time ranges from 30–90 seconds at 20–25°C, depending on residue load and feature geometry.
Q3: How does SYS-9050 compare to traditional sulfuric-peroxide mixtures (SPM) or dilute HF-based cleaners?
A: Unlike aggressive oxidizers or fluoride chemistries, SYS-9050 achieves comparable residue removal without oxidizing sensitive films or attacking SiO₂/SiN interfaces—enabling higher selectivity and lower defect density.
Q4: Is SYS-9050 subject to REACH authorization or EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR)?
A: No. SYS-9050 contains no active biocidal substances and is not classified as a biocide under BPR. It is fully compliant with REACH Annex XIV exclusion criteria and carries no SVHC candidates above threshold.
Q5: Has migration or leaching testing been performed for use in medical device or MEMS packaging applications?
A: Yes. Extractables testing per USP <87> and <88> (cytotoxicity) confirms no detectable leachables at ppb levels; certified for Class VI biocompatibility when rinsed per standard wafer cleaning protocols.
