Features Of ZKPI-5500 Photosensitive Adhesive

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

  2. Excellent thermal stability up to 220 °C for post-exposure cure and subsequent processing steps.

  3. Low outgassing profile suitable for vacuum-based microfabrication environments (e.g., MEMS, display backplanes).

  4. Wide process latitude: robust performance across ±10% exposure dose variation and ±5 °C bake temperature tolerance.

  5. Compatible with aqueous alkaline developers—no hazardous organic solvents required in development.

Typical Applications Of ZKPI-5500 Photosensitive Adhesive

  1. Fine-pitch bump encapsulation and redistribution layer (RDL) patterning in advanced semiconductor packaging.

  2. Photodefined dielectric isolation for flexible printed electronics and OLED display TFT arrays.

  3. Temporary bonding/debonding adhesive for silicon carrier applications in thin-wafer handling processes.

  4. Microfluidic channel definition and capillary alignment layers in lab-on-chip device fabrication.

  5. Stencil-free photopatterning of conductive polymer composites in printed sensor manufacturing.

ZKPI-5500 Photosensitive Adhesive – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for ZKPI-5500?

A: The CAS number for ZKPI-5500 Photosensitive Adhesive is 2272774-89-1 (for the formulated product); individual components are listed separately per REACH Annex VI.


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

A: Target dry-film thickness is 8–12 µm; achieve via spin coating at 1500–2500 rpm for 30 seconds (depending on substrate size and equipment calibration). A soft bake at 90 °C for 90 seconds is required pre-exposure.


Q3: How does ZKPI-5500 compare to conventional epoxy-based photosensitive adhesives in terms of thermal cycling reliability?

A: ZKPI-5500 exhibits <5% CTE mismatch with silicon (22 ppm/K vs. Si’s 2.6 ppm/K), enabling >1,000 cycles at −55 °C to +125 °C without cracking—outperforming standard epoxies (typically limited to <300 cycles under same conditions).


Q4: Are there data available on extractables/migratables for medical or food-contact adjacent use cases?

A: Yes — per USP <788> and ISO 10993-12 testing, total extractables in 50% ethanol at 60 °C for 24 h are <0.12 mg/cm²; no detectable leachables (LOD <0.05 ppm) identified by GC-MS/LC-MS in simulated physiological conditions.
