Non-foaming formulation optimized for high-shear recirculating systems and ultrasonic immersion baths.
Photoresist stripper co-emulsifier in low-damage, post-etch residue removal formulations.
Stabilizer for nano-silica and ceria-based CMP slurries in advanced node polishing applications.
Wetting and dispersing agent in aqueous-based dielectric cleaning solutions for BEOL integration.
Emulsification aid for perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricant microemulsions in MEMS device manufacturing.
Surfactant component in ultra-pure rinse additives for particle removal without re-deposition.

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for TN ES-50?
A: The CAS Number for TN ES-50 is 127287-94-1 (registered under its primary sulfosuccinate diester composition).
Q2: What is the recommended dosage range in semiconductor cleaning formulations?
A: Typical use level is 0.03–0.15 wt% in final process solutions; optimal concentration depends on substrate, soil type, and equipment design—validation via SPM/SC1 compatibility testing is advised.
Q3: How does TN ES-50 compare to traditional linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) in semiconductor applications?
A: Unlike LAS, TN ES-50 delivers superior low-residue performance, lower ecotoxicity, higher hydrolytic stability, and no aromatic hydrocarbon content—making it suitable for sub-7nm node processes where LAS-induced contamination is unacceptable.
Q4: Is TN ES-50 compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 and IEC 60112 for material migration and extractables testing?
A: Yes—validated per JEDEC J-STD-020D (MSL 1) for moisture sensitivity, and IEC 60112 tracking index ≥ 600 V; extractables testing (per SEMI F57) confirms < 0.5 ppb Na⁺, < 0.3 ppb Cl⁻, and < 1.0 ppb total metals in DI water leachates.
