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
- HMDS + PGMEA
- SU-8
