May use chemicals for use in Solvent Hoods, EXCEPT PRS 2000 or Remover PG, plus:

Non-Concentrated Basic Developers

  • AZ Developer
    • Na based for high selectivity with DNQ photoresists, main appeal is lack of Al etch
  • AZ 340
    • Na based, needs custom dilution, with higher dilutions for thinner resists to improve process control, and lower dilutions to improve development rate.
  • AZ 400K
    • 1.4 N Buffered KOH used in 1:4 dilution, buffered with potassium borate. Recommended for thick resists
  • MF-26A
    • 0.26N TMAH w/ Polyglycol surfactant

Photoresists

  • AZ1518
  • AZ9260

E-Beam Resists

  • HSQ
  • 950 PMMA A4
  • AR-P 6200.13

Common Additional Lithography Chemicals (Non-stocked)

  • S1800 series
    • PGMEA + Novolak & DNQ
  • SPR 220
    • Thick positive resist, Anisole + Ethyl lactate
  • ZEP
    • Anisole + Methylstyrene & Methyl Alpha-Chloroacrylate. AR-P 6200 is chemically identical
  • LOR 3A
    • Lift off resist, Cyclopentanone + PGME
  • MCC Primer 80/20
