This is a standard positive resist from ZEON. The resist is very expensive; DTU Nanolab has thus stopped buying this resist. Use CSAR instead.

Contact lithography@nanolab.dtu.dk if you wish to use this resist.

Spin Curves


The thickness is measured on VASE Ellipsometer using a simple Cauchy model for a transparent polymer on a Si wafer with native oxide. The measurements are performed at one incidence angle (70 degrees) only. 9 points on each 4" wafer has been measured; the standard deviation thus represents the homogeinity of the film on the 4" wafers.
