Description 

? Negative Resist NR71-6000P is a negative tone photoresist designed for 365 nm 

wavelength exposure, using tools such as wafer steppers, scanning projection aligners, 

proximity printers contact printers. 

? After resist development NR71-6000P exhibits a straight resist sidewall profile. 

? These are advantages of NR71-6000P over other resists: - superior resolution capability - fast develop time - superior photospeed - superior temperature resistance of up to 180°C - superior ivity in RIE process -     elimination of a need for application of adhesion promoters such as HMDS - shelf life exceeding 3 years at room temperature storage 

? The formulation processing of NR71-6000P were designed with regard to occupational 

environmental safety. The principal solvent in NR71-6000P is gamma butyrolactone 

development of NR71-6000P is accomplished in a basic water solution.

Processing 

 

1. Application of resist by spin coating at ed spin speed for 40 s. 

 

2. 150°C hotplate bake for 60 s;  165°C hotplate bake for 240 s (softbake) 

 

3. Resist exposure in a tool emitting 365 nm wavelength. 

 

4. 100°C hotplate bake for 60 s; 110°C hotplate bake for 240 s (post-exposure bake)

 

5. Resist development in Resist Developer RD6 by spray or immersion. 

           Development time for 6 μm thick film, for example, is 50 s. 

 

6. Resist rinse in deionized water until water resistivity reaches prescribed limit. 

 

7. Drying of resist. 

 

8. Removal of resist in Resist Remover RR41. 

 

For good conductors of heat such as Si, GaAs, InP, etc.

 For 1mm thick glass substrate.

 

Hling Precautions 

 

Negative Resist NR71-6000P is a combustible liquid. Hle it with care. Keep it away  

heat, sparks flames. Use adequate ventilation. It may be harmful if swallowed or touched. 

Avoid contact with liquid, vapor or spray mist. Wear chemical goggles, rubber gloves  

protective coating.
