NEGATIVE RESIST DEVELOPER

S-NRD

 

 

 

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

 

High purity, high performance developer specifically designed for negative resist development.  S-NRD is a non-acetic, high boiling, low volatility, non aromatic containing product which has no residues thereby eliminating wafer surface contamination.  S-NRD is a distilled and specially formulated product which generates the highest performance in developing negative resists.  Resolution and edge acuity in developed resist images are substantially improved when utilizing S-NRD than normally found using other negative resist developers.

 

RESIST DEVELOPMENT

 

Exposed photoresist coatings can be developed using spray or immersion development.  Spray development is best employed for fine image development.  For immersion development agitation of the S-NRD solution is recommended.  The process latitude employing S-NRD is very wide for resolution in the general order of 2.5 micron lines.  In 0.8 micron resist coating the following conditions are recommended:

 

            Spray development                                      30 sec.

            Immersion development (with agitation)            20 sec.

 

It is recommended that the development step utilizing S-NRD be followed by treatment with a resist rinse.  Optimum resist rinse time is 20 sec. For both spray immersion.
