Product information "TI Spray - 5.00 l"
TI Spray
Image Reversal Resist
General Information
TI Spray for 1 - 20 µm Resist Film Thickness (g -, H - and I-line)
TI Spray is a ready-to-use spray resist whose low content of low-boiling solvent allows a smooth resist surface at the expense of a somewhat smaller edge coverage by slow drying of the resist film formed (If edge coverage is of highest importance, the use of AZ® 4999 should be considered as a good alternative).
It can be used in positive or in image-reversal (negative) mode. It can be used for wet chemical etching processes as well as for lift off applications.
Product Properties
- Optimized resist adhesion to all common substrate materials
- 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. 1 - 20 µm
- Very smooth resist layers after spray coating on the price of lower edge coverage potential
Developers
If metal ion containing developers can be used, the KOH-based AZ® 400K in a 1:4 dilution (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 cab be used as stripper. If the resist film is crosslinked (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.
Thinning/ Edge Bead Removal
We recommend for thinning and edge bead removal the products AZ® EBR Solvent or PGMEA.

AZ 5209-E Photoresist - 3.785 l
1A005209
AZ® 5209E
Image Reversal Resist for High Resolution
General Information
This special photoresist is the thinner version of the AZ® 5200E series intended for lift-off techniques which call for a negative side wall profile. The reversal bake moderately cross-links the exposed resist making the developed structures thermally stable up to approx. 130°C. Due to the comparably low resist film thickness of ~ 0.9 µm, the process parameter window for an undercut is rather small thus requiring some optimizations in the exposure dose and the reversal bake parameters. Therefore, if the resolution required is not in the sub-µm range, a thicker resist such as the AZ® LNR-003 (next section), or the AZ® nLOF 2000 negative resists might be a good alternative.
Product Properties
Very high resolution as a positive resist as well as a negative resist
Possible negative sidewall profile in image reversal mode
Compatible with all common developers (NaOH-, KOH- or TMAH-based)
Compatible with all common strippers (e. g. with AZ® 100 Remover, organic solvents, or aqueous alkaline)
h- and i-line sensitive (approx. 320 - 405 nm)
Resist film thickness range approx. 0.7 - 1.2 µm
High thermal stability especially in image reversal mode
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 dilution recommended) is a suited developer.
The KOH-based AZ® 400K (also 1:4 - 1:5 diluted) is also possible.
If metal ion free developers have to be used, we recommend the TMAH-based AZ® 726 MIF or AZ® 326 MIF developer, normally 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 cab be used as stripper. If the resist film is crosslinked (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.

Bottle size:
5.00 l
TI 35ESX Photoresist
Image Reversal Resist
General Information
The TI 35 ESX resist is specially designed for the application in the so called “image reversal technology” for:
Subsequent lift-off of deposited layers with a thickness up to 4 µm
Plasma etching
The viscosity of the resist leads to a thickness range depending on the spin speed from 2.5 - 3.5 µm. The typical aspect ratio of the structured features achievable is in the range of 1.0 - 2.0. This technical data sheet intends to give you a guide-line for process parameters for various applications. However, the optimum values for e.g. spin profile, exposure dose or development depend on the individual equipment and need to be adjusted on each individual demand.
Due to the required second exposure, the process sequence will be easier with a negative resist like **AZ® nLof 20xx series and could be a good alternative.
Product Properties
Possible negative sidewall profile in image reversal mode
Compatible with all common developers (NaOH-, KOH- or TMAH-based)
Compatible with all common strippers (e. g. with AZ® 100 Remover, organic solvents, or aqueous alkaline)

TI xLift-X
Image Reversal Resist
General Information
TI XLift-X allows resist thicknesses up to over 10 µm. However, as the resist thickness increases, the process becomes ever more time-consuming for rehydration or for the out gassing of the nitrogen formed during exposure. Thus a reasonable alternative for most applications would be the AZ® nLOF 2070 negative resist.

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.

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.
