Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for ZKPI-8100?
A: The CAS number for ZKPI-8100 Photosensitive Adhesive (as supplied) is 2257432-88-9. Note that this refers to the formulated product; individual components are listed separately in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Q2: What is the recommended coating thickness and corresponding spin speed for 6-inch wafers?
A: For a target dry-film thickness of 8–12 µm, spin coat at 2500 rpm for 30 seconds using a standard semiconductor coater. Thickness uniformity is typically ±3% across the wafer.
Q3: How does ZKPI-8100 compare to conventional non-photosensitive temporary adhesives like BCB or polyimide-based films?
A: Unlike non-photosensitive alternatives, ZKPI-8100 enables direct lithographic patterning without lamination or etch-back steps—reducing process complexity, material waste, and defect density. It also offers faster debonding kinetics at lower temperatures (≤180 °C) versus thermally cured BCB (>250 °C).
Q4: Is ZKPI-8100 compliant with food-contact or medical device regulations?
A: ZKPI-8100 is not intended for food-contact or implantable medical applications. It is designed exclusively for industrial microfabrication. No FDA 510(k), ISO 10993, or EU Food Contact Material (EC 10/2011) certifications apply.
Q5: Has migration or extractables testing been performed under typical processing conditions?
A: Yes. GC-MS and ICP-MS analysis per SEMI F57-0218 confirmed <1 ppm total organic extractables and <0.1 ppb metallic ions (Na, K, Fe, Cu) after full process flow (coat–prebake–expose–postbake–develop–rinse–dry) on silicon wafers.
