AZ® ECI 3012
High Resolution with Broad Process Window
General Information
The AZ® ECI 3000 series is a modern, state-of-the-art positive resist series. The resolution potential as well as the process stability allows feature sizes close to the theoretical minimum attainable with broadband (non-DUV) resists. AZ® ECI 3000 resists are a suitable series for both wet and dry chemical processes due to their good adhesion and thermal stability. The resist are available in three viscosity grades AZ® ECI 3007 (0.7 µm resist film thickness at 4000 rpm), AZ® ECI 3012 (1.2 µm) and AZ® ECI 3027 (2.7 µm). The very high resolution potential allows lateral structural sizes down to 300 nm and opens a comparatively large and stable process window at lower resolution requirements. These resists can be developed with NaOH, KOH or TMAH based developers.
*450 nm resist lines with the AZ® ECI 3012 at approx. 1.2 µm film thickness.
Product Properties
- Very high resolution
- Optimized resist adhesion to all common substrate materials
- Steep resist sidewalls and high aspect ratio for dry etching or ion implantation -Broad process parameter window for stable and reproducible litho-processes
- Compatible with all common strippers (e.g. with AZ® 100 Remover, organic solvents or aqueous alkaline)
- g-, h- and i-line sensitive (approx. 320 - 440 nm)
- Resist film thickness range approx. 0.9 – 1.5 µm
Developers
If metal ion containing developers can be used, the NaOH-based AZ® 351B in a 1:4 dilution (for a required resolution < 1 µm 1:5 - 1:6 dilution recommended) is a suited developer. The KOH-based AZ® 400K (also 1:4 - 1:6 diluted) is possible, but due to its lower selectivity not recommended, if a high resolution or steep resist sidewalls are required. If metal ion free developers have to be used, we recommend the TMAH-based AZ® 326 MIF or AZ® 726 MIF developer, either undiluted, or - for maximum resolution - moderately 3:1 - 2:1 (3 parts Developer:1 part of DI-Water) diluted with water.
Removers
For non cross-linked resist films the AZ® 100 Remover, DMSO or other common organic solvents can be used as stripper. If the resist film is cross-linked (e.g. by high temperature steps > 140°C, during plasma processes such as dry etching or during ion implantation), we recommend the NMP-free TechniStrip P1316 as remover.
Thinning/ Edge Bead Removal
We recommend for thinning and edge bead removal the AZ® EBR Solvent or PGMEA. AZ® EBR Solvent 70/30 is possible as well for edge bead removal.

Positive Thin Resists for Wet Etching
General Information
The AZ® 1500 photoresist series yields an improved adhesion for all common wet etching processes. The lateral resolution depends on the resist film thickness and reaches down to sub-µm. The high resolution and adhesion of the AZ® 1505 make this resist a commonly used resist mask for Cr etching in photo mask production.
At 4000 rpm, a coating thickness of approx. 500 nm can be attained. A coating thickness of approx. 400 - 800 nm can also be achieved by varying the spin speed.

Easy removal after hardbake
High resistance to harsh etchants
Compatible with all common strippers (e.g. with AZ® 100 Remover, organic solvents or aqueous alkaline)
g-, h- and i-line sensitive (approx. 320 - 440 nm)
Resist film thickness range approx. 1 – 2 µm
Developers
We recommend the TMAH-based AZ® 726 MIF or AZ® 326 MIF (this one contains surfactants).
Removers
For non cross-linked resist films the AZ® 100 Remover, DMSO or other common organic solvents cab be used as stripper. If the resist film is cross-linked (e.g. by high temperature steps > 140°C, during plasma processes such as dry etching, or during ion implantation), we recommend the NMP-free such as AZ® 920 Remover or TechniStrip P1316 as remover.
Thinning/ Edge Bead Removal
We recommend for thinning and edge bead removal the products AZ® EBR Solvent or PGMEA. AZ® EBR Solvent 70/30 is possible as well for edge bead removal.

AZ 351 B Developer - 5.00 l
1000351
AZ® 351B Developer
Inorganic Developers
General Information
AZ® 351B Developer is based on buffered NaOH and typically used in a 1:3 to 1:4 dilution (1 part of concentrate and 4 parts of DI-water). 1:3 dilution is the high speed setup while 1:4 will be used for a high contrast setup. It can be used especially for our thinner resist types, such as AZ® 1500 Series resists or image reversal resists such as AZ® 5200E resist series.

AZ 326 MIF Developer - 5.00 l
1000326
AZ® 326 MIF Developer
Metal Ion-free Developers
General Information
AZ® 300 MIF, AZ® 326 MIF, AZ® 726 MIF and AZ® 2026 MIF Developers are developer formulations with 2.38 % TMAH (tetramethylammoniumhydroxide) in H2O.
The AZ® 726 MIF Developer contains additionally a surfactant for better wetting and easy to settle up of puddle development. Additionally to the wetting agent of the AZ® 726 MIF the AZ® 2026 MIF contains a scum remover for complete and scum-free removal of resist layers on the price of a slightly higher dark erosion ratio.
However, for our negative resists, such as AZ® nLof 2000 series, AZ® 15nXT series, AZ® 125nXT resists this developer shows outstanding performance. Even for a positive resist like AZ® 10XT resist it significantly reduces t-topping if this problem occurs.
AZ® 2033 MIF is 3.00 % TMAH in H2O with surfactants added for fast and homogeneous substrate wetting and further additives for removal of resist residuals (residues in certain lacquer families), but at the cost of a higher dark removal. Compared to the AZ® 2026 MIF, the normality is not 0.26 but 0.33. Thus the development rate is higher with the AZ® 2033 MIF Developer.

Remover
AZ 100 Remover - 5.00 l
1000100
AZ® 100 Remover
Universal Photoresist Stripper
General Information
AZ®100 Remover is based on solvent and amine (alkaline). AZ®100 Remover is used for photoresist stripping with low attack to aluminium. Low hazard is achieved by the use of ethanol amine.
Low evaporation rate allows the use at elevated temperatures (up to 80°C), high efficiency (>3000 wafer per litre) helps saving costs. Where attack to aluminium is of no concern, it may even be diluted with water.
AZ®100 Remover is not compatible with AZ® nLof 2070 (AZ® nLof 2000 series) resists and other heavily cross linked resists.

DMSO - 2.50 l - ULSI
MDMU1025
DMSO
Dimethyl Sulfoxide
General Information
Due to its low vapour pressure and its water solubility, DMSO is an excellent stripper for resists respectively Lift-off media and is a non-toxic substitute for the NMP, which has been classified as toxic since a while. The optional addition of Cyclopentanone or MEK increases the performance of the stripper for certain applications and significantly lowers the melting point of pure DMSO.
NOTE:
The solvent DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) has a melting point just below room temperature, so it can possi¬bly freeze in storage in cooler rooms. Thawing may require several days, but afterwards the product can still be used as it is.
