AZ® PL 177
Positive Thick Resist
General Information
AZ® PL 177 is a positive tone liquid photoresist for the application in various coating techniques, especially for printed circuit boards manufacturing. AZ® PL 177 is dyed with a blue/violet colour for easy inspection after coating. It can be used for spin coating as well as for dip coating or for spray- or roller-coating. It is especially suited for wet chemical etching due to its outstanding adhesion properties and chemical stability. It is a general purpose resist and fits to all applications where high resolution and high thermal stability are not important. The AZ® PL 177 is a more inexpensive resist for lower demands regarding resolution and sidewall steepness. With a resist film thickness of approx. 5 µm at 4000 rpm, a resolution of approx. 4 - 5 µm is possible.
Product Properties
- Good drying behaviour
- Aqueous-alkaline process ability
- PGMEA based formulation
- Very good adhesion properties to many types of substrates
- Blue/violet coloured for easy inspection
- 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. 4 - 8 µm
Developers
As a developer, we recommend the NaOH-based AZ® 351B, the KOH-based AZ® 400K or TMAH-based devel¬oper such as the AZ® 2026 MIF. AZ Developer and even simple aqueous KOH or NaOH solutions can be used.
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. AZ® 920 Remover can be a good choice as well in case of harsh treated or hard to remove resist residuals.
Thinning/ Edge Bead Removal
We recommend for thinning and edge bead removal AZ® EBR Solvent, PGMEA or MEK. AZ® EBR 70/30 Solvent is possible as well for edge bead removal.

AZ 10XT Photoresist (520cP) - 3.785 l
1A010XT00
Bottle size:
3.785 l
AZ® 10XT (520CPS)
Thick Resists for High Resolution
General Information
Compared to the AZ® 4500 series, the AZ® 10XT resists have a lower optical absorption. This simplifies the exposure of (also very) thick resist films. Therefore, in combination with the missing g-line sensitivity, the AZ® 10XT series needs a higher exposure time under broadband condition, and reveals a lower development rate as compared to AZ® 4500 films processed under the same conditions. On the other hand, the AZ® 10XT shows a very high aspect ratio and resolution.
For lower resist film thicknesses we recommend a dilution with PGMEA = AZ® EBR Solvent. The following resist film thicknesses refer to 4000 rpm under standard conditions:
4.0 µm: 100g AZ® 10XT + 13g PGMEA
3.0 µm: 100g AZ® 10XT + 23g PGMEA
2.0 µm: 100g AZ® 10XT + 42g PGMEA
1.5 µm: 100g AZ® 10XT + 55g PGMEA
1.0 µm: 100g AZ® 10XT + 88g PGMEA
The AZ® 10XT is a PFOS-free alternative to the AZ® 9260, which was discontinued in 2019. Viscosity and process parameters are identical to the former AZ® 9260.

Compatible with all common strippers (e.g. with AZ® 100 Remover, organic solvents or aqueous alkaline)
h- and i-line sensitive (approx. 320 - 410 nm)
Resist film thickness range approx. 5 - 30 µm
Developers
The recommended developers for the AZ® 10XT photoresist are AZ® 400K 1:4 or AZ® 726 MIF. In case of very thick resist films, a rather strong developer concentration such as AZ® 400K 1:3.5 - 1:3.0 might be reasonable for required short development times.
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. AZ® 920 Remover can be a good choice as well, in case of harsh treated, hard to remove resist residuals.

AZ® 40XT
Chemically Amplified Thick Photoresist
General Information
AZ® 40XT for 15 - 100 µm Resist Film Thickness (i-line)
The chemically amplified AZ® 40 XT is an ultra thick resist whose high viscosity allows very large resist film thicknesses via a single coating. It does not require rehydration, requires low light doses, releases no nitrogen during exposure and develops very rapidly, thus permitting significantly shorter process times compared to standard thick resist films. However, the AZ® 40XT necessarily requires a Post Exposure Bake to be developed.
Remark: The maximum soft bake temperature must not be applied abruptly, in order to prevent the formation of bubbles in the resist film. We recommend either the usage of a proximity hotplate, or a temperature ramp on a contact hotplate. The correct temperature ramps are crucial for bubble free resist processing with this resist.

AZ® 4533
Thick Resists with Optimized Adhesion
General Information
The AZ® 4500 series (AZ® 4533 and AZ® 4562) are positive thick resists with optimized adhesion for common wet etching and plating processes. The AZ® 4500 series follows the AZ® 1500 series in the attainable and processable resist film thickness range. AZ® 4533 (3.3 µm resist film thickness at 4000 rpm) and AZ® 4562 (6.2 µm) have a lower photoinitiator con¬centration compared to thin resists. This makes it possible to process thick resist films over 10 µm without N2 bubble formation, but at the expense of a significantly lower development rate.
Product Properties
Optimized resist adhesion to all common substrate materials
Broad process parameter window for stable and reproducible litho-processes
Compatible with all common developers (KOH- or TMAH-based)
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. 2.5 - 5 µm
Developers
If metal ion containing developers can be used the KOH-based AZ® 400K in a 1:4 dilution or the finish diluted version AZ® 400K 1:4 (for higher resist film thicknesses 1:3.5 - 1:3 diluted possible) is a suited developer.
If metal ion free developers have to be used, we recommend the TMAH-based AZ® 2026 MIF developer (undiluted).
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. AZ® 920 Remover can be a good choice as well, in case of harsh treated, hard to remove resist residuals.

AZ® 4562
Thick Resists with Optimized Adhesion
General Information
The AZ® 4500 series (AZ® 4533 and AZ® 4562) are positive thick resists with optimized adhesion for common wet etching and plating processes. The AZ® 4500 series follows the AZ® 1500 series in the attainable and processable resist film thickness range. AZ® 4533 (3.3 µm resist film thickness at 4000 rpm) and AZ® 4562 (6.2 µm) have a lower photoinitiator con¬centration compared to thin resists. This makes it possible to process thick resist films over 10 µm without N2 bubble formation, but at the expense of a significantly lower development rate.
A resist film thicknes up to 30 µm can be achieved by single-coating with adjusted spin profiles (short spin times at medium spin speed). Higher layer thicknesses can be achieved by multiple coating. Higher film thickness attainable with multiple coating.
Please note: Resist Film Thicknesses > 30 µm
Generally, the AZ® 4562 can be coated and processed up to 30 µm and beyond. However, softbake, rehydration, exposure and development become very time-consuming in this thickness range. Additionally, even the rather transparent AZ® 4562 photoresist may form N2-bubbles during exposure when applied too thick. Therefore, for resist film thicknesses > 20 µm, we strongly recommend the chemically amplified AZ® 40XT.

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.

AZ® Developer
Inorganic Developers
General Information
AZ® Developer is optimized for minimum Al attack. It is an odourless, aqueous, inorganic, alkaline solution, which is compatible with batch and in-line developing processes. It is typically applied 1:1 diluted in DI-H2O for high contrast, or undiluted for a high development rate. The dark erosion of AZ® Developer is slightly higher as compared to other developers. AZ® Developer can be used in combination with most families of AZ® Photoresists (i.e. AZ® 1500, AZ® ECI3000 and AZ® 4500 or AZ® PL177). AZ® Developer displays the lowest aluminium etch rate (it is more or less zero!) of all AZ® Developer - types and is ideal for metal levels.

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.
