UniLOR™ N Single-layer Lift-off Photoresists

UniLOR™ N are chemically amplified, negative-tone resists for single layer lift-off processes.

 

Material Attributes:

· Negative tone, chemically amplified resists
· 1 to 5 µm film thickness range
· i-Line/Broadband sensitivity, 1:1 aspect ratio capability
· Adjustable sidewall profile angle
· Aqueous alkaline development (standard 0.26N TMAH developers)
· Suitable for metal evaporation physical vapor deposition processes
· Pattern thermal stability up to 200°C
· Clean removal with standard photoresist removal chemistries
· Suitable as top imaging resist in bi-layer lift-off processes
