This bench is only for wafers with metal!

The user manual, and contact information can be found in LabManager

Process information

Lift-off wet bench is used for lift-off using resists soluble in acetone. AZ 5214E is soluble in acetone, AZ nLOF is not.

Process recommandations for Lift-off wet bench:

  • Place the wafers in a dedicated wafer holder.
  • Put the holder in the acetone and start the ultrasound. The strip off time is depending of resist thickness.
  • Rinse your wafers for 4-5 min. in running water after stripping.

For more information on image reversal of AZ 5214E, see here: Specific Process Knowledge/Photolithography/AZ5214E standard resist - reverse process

Lift-off (4", 6")

Lift-off (4", 6") in D-3

The user manual, and contact information can be found in LabManager

Process information

Lift-off (4", 6") is used for lift-off using resists that are soluble in NMP (N-Methyl-Pyrrolidone), supplied in the cleanroom as "Remover 1165". Both AZ 5214E and AZ nLOF are soluble in NMP.
