Features Of ZKPI-5100 Photosensitive Adhesive

  1. High-resolution patterning capability with sub-25 µm line/space definition under standard UV exposure (i-line, 365 nm).

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 220 °C post-cure, enabling compatibility with lead-free soldering processes.

  3. Low outgassing profile (< 0.5% TML, < 0.1% CVCM per ASTM E595), suitable for vacuum and optoelectronic applications.

  4. Single-coat application with adjustable film thickness (5–30 µm) via spin coating or curtain coating.

  5. Non-halogenated formulation compliant with IPC-4101D/101 requirements for halogen-free printed circuit materials.

Typical Applications Of ZKPI-5100 Photosensitive Adhesive

  1. Fine-pitch flexible circuit bonding in foldable display interconnects.

  2. Temporary carrier adhesive for thin die (≤ 50 µm) handling in advanced packaging (e.g., fan-out wafer-level packaging).

  3. Photo-defined insulating layers in high-frequency RF modules (up to 77 GHz).

  4. Dielectric encapsulation for MEMS sensors requiring hermeticity and low dielectric loss (Dk ≈ 3.1 @ 10 GHz).

  5. Patterned adhesive for micro-LED transfer printing substrates.

ZKPI-5100 Photosensitive Adhesive – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for ZKPI-5100?

A: The CAS number for ZKPI-5100 is 2279473-88-1 (assigned to the proprietary polymer-sensitizer blend; individual components are listed separately in SDS Section 3).


Q2: What is the recommended coating thickness and corresponding spin speed range?

A: For 10–12 µm dry film thickness, use 1800–2200 rpm (30 sec); for 25–28 µm, use 800–1000 rpm (30 sec). Thickness is verified by ellipsometry pre- and post-bake.


Q3: How does ZKPI-5100 compare to conventional non-photosensitive polyimide adhesives in terms of process efficiency?

A: ZKPI-5100 eliminates mechanical patterning (e.g., laser ablation or etching), reducing cycle time by >65% and eliminating particulate contamination risks associated with dry/wet etch processes.


Q4: Is ZKPI-5100 certified for food-contact or medical device applications?

A: No — ZKPI-5100 is not FDA-approved or ISO 10993-tested. It is intended for industrial electronics manufacturing only; contact technical support for alternative qualified grades.


Q5: Are there data available on extractables/migration under thermal stress (e.g., 260 °C reflow)?

A: Yes — GC-MS analysis per JEDEC J-STD-020 shows < 1.2 ppm total volatile condensables (TVC) after 2x Pb-free reflow (260 °C peak, 40 sec), well below IPC-6012 Class 3 limits.
